Endothelial Cell Surface

The emigration of leukocytes such as neutrophils into inflammatory sites requires adhesion to the endothelium of small venules. The initial adhesive event is margination characterized by rolling of neutrophils along the luminal surface of the endothelium. Each member of the selectin family of adhesion molecules has been shown to support neutrophil rolling under conditions of flow. E-selectin is synthesized by endothelial cells following cytokine stimulation, P-selectin is rapidly mobilized from Weibel–Palade bodies to the endothelial cell surface following stimulation with agents such as histamine, and L-selectin is constitutively expressed on the surface of leukocytes. Each selectin functions primarily as a lectin, recognizing carbohydrate structures on the leukocyte or endothelial cell surface. Once the marginated neutrophil forms a stationary adhesion with endothelial cells, it is stimulated by chemotactic factors to downregulate the selectin-based adhesion and upregulate adherence dependent on β2-integrins, principally CD11a/CD18 (LFA-1) and CD11b/CD18 (Mac-1). These adhesion molecules interact with intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and possibly other structures on the endothelial cell, and the leukocyte rapidly emigrates into surrounding tissue. Transendothelial migration in vitro is markedly inhibited by monoclonal antibodies against CD18 integrins or ICAM-1. Monoclonal antibodies against the selectins, CD18, CD11a, CD11b, and ICAM-1 have all been shown to significantly reduce the influx of neutrophils into sites of inflammation in various animal models.Key words: adhesion, integrins, selectins, leukocytes, endothelial cells.

Cationic Residues

The topography of the charged residues on the endothelial cell surface of liver sinusoid capillaries was investigated by using electron microscopic tracers of different size and charge. The tracers used were native ferritin (pl 4.2-4.7) and its cationized (pl 8.4) and anionized (pl 3.7) derivatives, BSA coupled to colloidal gold (pl of the complex 5.1), hemeundecapeptide (pl 4.85), and alcian blue (pl greater than 10). The tracers were either injected in vivo or perfused in situ through the portal vein of the mouse liver. In some experiments, two tracers of opposite charge were sequentially perfused with extensive washing in between. The liver was processed for electron microscopy and the binding pattern of the injected markers was recorded. The electrostatic nature of the tracer binding was assessed by perfusion with high ionic strength solutions, by aldehyde quenching of the plasma membrane basic residues, and by substituting the cell surface acidic moieties with positively charged groups. Results indicate that the endothelial cells of the liver sinusoids expose on their surface both cationic and anionic residues. The density distribution of these charged groups on the cell surface is different. While the negative charge is randomly and patchily scattered all over the membrane, the cationic residues seem to be accumulated in coated pits. The charged groups co-exist in the same coated pit and bind the opposite charged macromolecule. It appears that the fixed positive and negative charges of the coated pit glycocalyx are mainly segregated in space. The layer of basic residues is located at 20-30-nm distance of the membrane, while most of the negative charges lie close to the external leaflet of the plasmalemma.

Endothelial Functions

In response to pro-inflammatory challenges including pathogenic attack and tissue damage, the endothelial cell surface is rearranged to present leukocyte-engaging cell surface receptors. The initial contact needed for leukocyte tethering and rolling is mediated via adhesion demand-driven exocytosis of Weibel-Palade bodies (WPB) that contain the leukocyte receptor P-selectin together with the stabilizing co-factor CD63. We found that diminished expression of the endolysosomal non-selective cation channel TPC2 or inhibition of TPC2-mediated Ca2+-release via trans-Ned 19 led to reduced endolysosomal Ca2+ efflux, and blocked transfer of CD63 from late endosomes/lysosomes (LEL) to WPB, and a concomitant loss of P-selectin on the endothelial cell surface. Accordingly, P-selectin-mediated leukocyte recruitment to trans-Ned 19-treated HUVEC under flow was significantly reduced without disturbing VWF exocytosis. Our findings establish the endolysosome-related TPC2 Ca2+ channel as a key element in the maintenance of proper endothelial functions and a potential pharmacological target in the control of inflammatory leukocyte recruitment.
