Abstract

Primary human embryonic fibroblasts and permanent line of fibroblasts BHK-21 were cultivated on the glass in the medium, containing bovine serum ultrafiltrate with the molecular weight of the components up to 70000 D, and on liquid perfluorocarbon, perfluorotributylamine in the normal growth medium. In both the cases one could observe a formation of aggregates, however, in the case of cultivating the primary fibroblasts on the glass the aggregation was much less pronounced. The formation of aggregates is considered to be the result of the reduced adhesion of cells to the substrate. In the first case the low adhesion is accounted for by the deficiency of the adhesion factors, and in the second case--by the physico-chemical properties of the liquid substrate used.

Listeria monocytogenes infection of cultured endothelial cells stimulates neutrophil adhesion and adhesion molecule expression.

Microbial infection of the endothelium with the resultant up-regulation of adhesion molecule expression and stimulated leukocyte adhesion to endothelial cells can promote an inflammatory response. Previous work demonstrated that Listeria monocytogenes can replicate within cultured endothelial cells; thus, we tested whether L. monocytogenes infection of HUVEC stimulated an inflammatory phenotype on these cells. Infection with 10(4) CFU of bacteria increased neutrophil adhesion to HUVEC 40-fold and up-regulated E-selectin, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 expression. Approximately 80% of neutrophil adhesion to infected HUVEC was blocked by anti-E-selectin mAb, 35% was blocked by anti-CD18 mAb, and anti-vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 mAb was without effect. Microscopy of infected HUVEC monolayers showed that neutrophils bound to infected and uninfected cells and that infected and uninfected HUVEC expressed E-selectin. Interestingly, uninfected HUVEC that bound neutrophils or expressed E-selectin typically were adjacent to infected cells. However, infected monolayers did not produce soluble factors that stimulated E-selectin expression on uninfected cells. Nuclear translocation of the p65 subunit of the transcription factor NF-kappaB accompanied the HUVEC response, and hemolysin secretion appeared critical for stimulating HUVEC. These studies show that L. monocytogenes infection stimulates up-regulation of adhesion molecule expression on endothelial cells, resulting in neutrophil adhesion to them. This response includes induction of an inflammatory phenotype on uninfected cells and may be triggered by listeriolysin O-mediated activation of host response mechanisms. Additionally, cell-to-cell spread of L. monocytogenes throughout the monolayer, without stimulating secondarily infected endothelial cells for neutrophil adhesion, is a possible means of immune avoidance.

Post-translational modifications of alpha5beta1 integrin by glycosaminoglycan chains. The alpha5beta1 integrin is a facultative proteoglycan.

Cell-fibronectin interactions, mediated through several different receptors, have been implicated in a wide variety of cellular properties. Among the cell surface receptors for fibronectin, integrins are the best characterized, particularly the prototype alpha5beta1 integrin. Using [125I]iodine cell surface labeling or metabolic radiolabeling with sodium [35S]sulfate, we identified alpha5beta1 integrin as the only sulfated integrin among beta1 integrin heterodimers expressed by the human melanoma cell line Mel-85. This facultative sulfation was confirmed not only by immunoprecipitation reactions using specific monoclonal antibodies but also by fibronectin affinity chromatography, two-dimensional electrophoresis, and chemical reduction. The covalent nature of alpha5beta1 integrin sulfation was evidenced by its resistance to treatments with high ionic, chaotrophic, and denaturing agents such as 4 M NaCl, 4 M MgCl2, 8 M urea, and 6 M guanidine HCl. Based on deglycosylation procedures as chemical beta-elimination, proteinase K digestion, and susceptibility to glycosaminoglycan lyases (chondroitinase ABC and heparitinases I and II), it was demonstrated that the alpha5beta1 heterodimer and alpha5 and beta1 integrin subunits were proteoglycans. The importance of alpha5beta1 sulfation was strengthened by the finding that this molecule is also sulfated in MG-63 (human osteosarcoma) and HCT-8 (human colon adenocarcinoma) cells.

L-selectin shedding does not regulate human neutrophil attachment, rolling, or transmigration across human vascular endothelium in vitro.

Current models of the multistep adhesion cascade for leukocyte-endothelial interactions predict loss of L-selectin from the leukocyte surface before transendothelial migration. We have tested this hypothesis using in vitro adhesion and transendothelial migration assays and a zinc-dependent metalloproteinase inhibitor, Ro 31-9790 (N-2-((2s)-[(hydroxycarbamoyl)methyl)-4-methylvaleryl]-N-1,3 -dimethyl-L-valinamide), which prevents chemoattractant-induced (e.g., IL-8, FMLP, C5a, platelet-activating factor) L-selectin endoproteolytic cleavage from isolated human neutrophils. Inhibitor and vehicle-treated neutrophils exhibited identical behavior during both adhesive interactions with 4- and 24-h TNF-alpha-activated HUVEC monolayers under flow, (including rate of initial attachment, rolling velocities, stable adhesion, and transmigration) and in static adhesion assays. Flow cytometric analysis of transmigrated neutrophils with mAb to L-selectin revealed that vehicle treated neutrophils had minimal detectable surface L-selectin, whereas inhibitor-treated neutrophils retained comparable levels of L-selectin on their surface as neutrophils maintained at 37 degrees C. In addition, mAb to L-selectin that induce rapid shape change and homotypic adhesion (LAM1-116) did not enhance the rate or extent of neutrophil transmigration under flow or static conditions. Neutrophils preincubated with LAM 1-116 displayed similar behavior to neutrophils preincubated with the control anti-L-selectin mAb, LAM1-101. In summary, these results demonstrate that there is no requirement for L-selectin to be shed from the surface of neutrophils before, or during, their migration across endothelial monolayers, and that prevention of surface L-selectin proteolytic cleavage does not enhance or inhibit neutrophil-endothelial cell adhesive interactions.
