Abstract

Leukocyte rolling precedes firm adhesion and emigration in inflammatory cell recruitment. Both P-selectin, an endothelial lectin that binds to sialylated O-glycans containing sialyl-Lewisx (sLex) on the granulocyte surface, and leukocyte L-selectin have been shown to mediate leukocyte rolling in vivo. Here, we investigate rolling of isolated human neutrophils (PMN), HL-60 promyelocytes, and an L-selectin-transfected cell line (300.19-L) during trauma-induced inflammation in rat mesenteric venules. HL-60 cells, which express no L-selectin but abundant sLex, rolled effectively immediately after abdominal surgery. HL-60 cell rolling was almost completely abolished by pretreatment with sialidase or monoclonal antibody (MoAb) AM-3 recognizing sLex, and was reduced by about 80% by O-sialoglycoprotein-endopeptidase (OSGP). By contrast, 300.19-L cells rolled poorly immediately after surgery but rolled well between 40 and 120 minutes after surgery. Their rolling was completely inhibited by the blocking L-selectin MoAb LAM1-3, but not by a binding control MoAb. PMN express both L-selectin and clustered, sialylated glycoproteins including P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1). PMN showed effective rolling at all times, which was aboli...Continue Reading

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.
