Peptide from a prokaryotic adhesin blocks leukocyte migration in vitro and in vivo

Abstract

The integrin CD11b/CD18 promotes leukocyte extravasation during inflammation. Filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) of Bordetella pertussis binds to CD11b/CD18, raising the possibility that peptides derived from FHA might inhibit leukocyte migration. The Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence of FHA has been suggested to modulate binding of ligands to CD11b/CD18. Peptides derived from this region inhibited adherence and transendothelial migration of neutrophils in vitro and prevented recruitment of leukocytes into the cerebrospinal fluid in an experimental model of meningitis in rabbits. The mechanism of the antiinflammatory effect may involve modulation of the activity of CD11b/CD18 through peptide interaction with the leukocyte response integrin/integrin-associated protein complex.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
