SummaryCirculating endotoxin is elevated in sepsis and plays a role in endothelial dysfunction whereas antithrombin is decreased by virtue of its consumption during complex formation with clotting factors and by proteolytic degradation by granulocyte elastase. Dysfunction of endothelium results in enhanced leukocyte rolling and diapedesis into tissues leading to edema formation and injury. Antithrombin exerts beneficial effects on endothelial function in sepsis. A direct anti-inflammatory action of anti-thrombin in inflammatory cells is exerted via heparan sulfate proteoglycans. In this study, we investigated whether antithrom-bin affects endotoxin-induced adhesion of neutrophils to human endothelial cells in vitro and whether glycosaminoglycans are involved in its signaling. Adhesion of human neutrophils to monolayers of umbilical vein endothelial cells was tested under static conditions. Endothelial cells were pretreated with endotoxin, interleukin-1, heparinase-I, chondroitinase-ABC or anti-syndecan-4-antibody. Endotoxin and interleukin-1 increased neutrophil adherence to human umbilical vein endothelial cells which was inhibited by antithrombin. Concomitant incubation with pentasaccharide abolished this effect of antithrombin. Treatment of endothelial cells with heparinase or chondroitinase led to higher adhesion and prevented effects of antithrom-bin. With antibodies to syndecan-4, enhanced adhesion of neutrophils was observed. As studied by Western blotting, endo-toxin-induced signaling was diminished by antithrombin and the effect was reversible by chondroitinase or heparinase. From our results, we can conclude that endotoxin-induced adhesion of leukocytes to endothelium can be reversed by ligation of syndecan-4 with antithrombin´s heparin-binding site and interferences with stress response signaling events in endothelium.

Abstract Intracellular H2O2 generation, as a measure of the respiratory burst, was determined after stimulation of neutrophils by immune complex (IC)-bearing human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Under static conditions, neutrophils basically responded to the immune deposits on resting endothelial cells. The rotating shear forces of ≈0.7 dynes/cm2, corresponding to the physiological flow in postcapillary venules, completely abolished this basal H2O2 generation. After activation of the IC-bearing endothelial layers with interleukin-1 (IL-1) or tumor necrosis factor (TNF), or both, for 4 hours, rolling adhesion of the neutrophils was induced, accompanied by considerable H2O2 production. The neutrophil respiratory burst was prominently inhibited by anti-FcγRIII MoAb 3G8 (72.4%), and partially by MoAb 2E1 against FcγRII (38.5%). Both MoAbs together inhibited the Fc-mediated H2O2generation by 93.4%. The respiratory burst and rolling adhesion were markedly blocked by MoAb LAM1-3 against L-selectin (91.3%), whereas the nonfunctional anti-L-selectin MoAb LAM1-14 was ineffective. F(ab)2′ fragments of MoAb 7A9 against E-selectin inhibited neutrophil rolling by 98.6%, but not the respiratory burst. Moreover, rolling adhesion of neutrophils and the related oxidative burst were CD11b/CD18- independent. In summary, L-selectin has a unique auxiliary function in triggering the FcγR-mediated respiratory burst of rolling neutrophils to IC-bearing endothelial cells, thereby substituting CD11b/CD18 under conditions of flow.

The adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is frequently caused by exposure of the lung endothelium to circulating endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS) and pulmonary infections frequently develop during the course of ARDS. The present studies demonstrate that LPS and interleukin 1 (IL-1, a mediator released by endothelial cells after exposure to LPS) enhance the adherence of Staphylococcus aureus to human umbilical vein endothelial cells. gamma-Interferon, another mediator that induces expression of some cell surface antigens on endothelial cells, had no effect on bacterial adherence. The adherence of bacteria to endothelium was increased by prior opsonization of the bacteria with fresh human serum and was reduced by prior absorption of the serum with bacteria before the use of the serum for opsonization. The capacity of LPS to increase bacterial adherence was time dependent and was maximally expressed after 6 h of exposure; it was blocked by exposure of endothelial cells to LPS in the presence of reduced temperature or dactinomycin (Actinomycin D). These observations suggest that circulating LPS not only can trigger the development of ARDS but also may predispose the lung to the development of pulmonary infections by increasing adherence of bacteria to endothelium.

AbstractThe objective of this study was to reveal a novel mechanism underlying the progression of atherosclerosis (AS) associated with endothelial cells (ECs) and neutrophils. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) were used to observe the morphology and particle size of isolated exosomes. Western blotting was applied to examine exosomal markers, while the expression of metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) was measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The production of inflammatory cytokines and reactive oxygen species (ROS) was determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and a dichloro-dihydro-fluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) assay. Circulating neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) were represented by myeloperoxidase (MPO)-DNA complexes. NETs formation was assessed using immunofluorescence microscopy. Atherosclerotic lesion development was measured by Oil Red O (ORO) staining. In the results, MALAT1 expression was increased in exosomes extracted from oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-treated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). When co-cultured with human neutrophils, exosomes derived from ox-LDL-treated HUVECs were revealed to promote NETs formation, which was mediated by exosomal MALAT1. Furthermore, ox-LDL-treated HUVECs-derived exosomes were demonstrated to trigger hyperlipidemia, inflammatory response and NETs release in a mouse model of AS. In conclusion, exosomal MALAT1 derived from ox-LDL-treated ECs initiated NETs formation, which in turn deteriorated AS.

Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (EC) were cultured in the presence of 4p-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, 10ug/l), interleukin 1 (IL-1, 1 unit/ml) and interleukin 2 (IL-2, 1 unit/ml), and secretion of von Willebrand factor activity (vWF, Ristocetin co-factor) and von Willebrand factor antigen (vWFAG, ELISA Technique) measured at intervals. Confluent control EC were treated with PMA, IL-1 and IL-2, and the supernatant medium assayed for release of vWF and vWFAg. Treated cells were also examined for vWFAg by immuno-fluorescence. The levels of both vWF and vWFAg in cultures containing IL-1 were significantly higher than those in control cultures after 5-6 days growth. Moreover, vWF and vWFAg increased significantly in the supernatant of confluent control EC incubated further in the presence of IL-1. Furthermore, the characteristic fluorescence pattern of endothelial vWFAg was markedly reduced in EC treated with IL-1. The levels of vWF and vWFAg in cultures containing PMA were also significantly higher than those of control cultures. In these conditions, however, the growth of cells appeared to be enhanced, and confluence was observed after about 6 days in the presence of PMA compared to 9 - 10 days in control cultures. The mean levels of vWF and vWFAg in the supernatant of EC incubated with PMA were higher than the control values but the differences were not statistically significant. Immunofluorescence of PMA-treated cells suggested that vWFAg might be less granular than in control cells but the differences were not as marked as those seen with IL-1. The results of all assays in the presence of IL-2 were not significantly different from those of control cells. In all instances no morphological evidence of endothelial injury was observed and more than 90% of cells remained viable at the termination of cultures. The results indicated that the synthesis and release of vWF were increased in the presence of PMA, and secretion of vWF was stimulated by IL-1. The data suggest that secreted vWF might contribute to the previously reported enhanced procoagulant and adhesive properties of EC treated with these substances.

ABSTRACT Interleukin-8 (IL-8), a C-X-C chemokine bound to endothelium proteoglycans, initiates the activation and selective recruitment of leukocytes at inflammatory foci. We demonstrate that human lactoferrin, an antimicrobial lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-binding protein, decreases both IL-8 mRNA and protein expression induced by the complex Escherichia coli 055:B5 LPS/sCD14 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The use of recombinant lactoferrins mutated in the LPS-binding sites indicates that this inhibitory effect is mediated by an interaction of lactoferrin with LPS and CD14s that suppresses the endotoxin biological activity. Furthermore, since dimeric IL-8 and lactoferrin are both proteoglycan-binding molecules, the competition between these proteins for heparin binding was investigated. Lactoferrin strongly inhibited the interaction of radiolabeled IL-8 to immobilized heparin, whereas a lactoferrin variant lacking the amino acid residues essential for heparin binding was not inhibitory. Moreover, this process is specific, since serum transferrin, a glycoprotein whose structure is close to that of lactoferrin, did not prevent the interaction of IL-8 with heparin. These results suggest that the anti-inflammatory properties of lactoferrin during septicemia are related, at least in part, to the regulation of IL-8 production and also to the ability of lactoferrin to compete with chemokines for their binding to proteoglycans.

Leukocyte infiltration into inflammatory sites is regulated by the expression of adhesion and activation proteins, yet the role of these proteins in shear-dependent transmigration is poorly understood. We examined eosinophil recruitment on cytokine-stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) under laminar flow conditions. Eosinophils rapidly transmigrated on interleukin (IL)-4–, but not TNF-stimulated HUVECs. Transmigration was shear dependent, with up to 90% of eosinophils transmigrating in the presence of shear and less than 25% of cells transmigrating under static conditions. Eosinophils express CC chemokine receptor CCR3 and are responsive to various CC chemokines. The effects of chemokines are mediated primarily through Gαi, which is pertussis toxin sensitive. Greater than 65% of shear-dependent eosinophil transmigration on IL-4–stimulated HUVECs was blocked by either pertussis toxin or by an anti-CCR3 monoclonal antibody. Using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blots, we found that IL-4–stimulated HUVECs produce both mRNA and protein for eotaxin-3. Eotaxin-3 was both released by HUVECs and expressed on the endothelial cell surface. Pretreatment of HUVECs with an anti–eotaxin-3 antibody blocked eosinophil transmigration to the same extent as an anti-CCR3 antibody. These results indicate that IL-4–stimulated HUVECs support shear-dependent eosinophil transmigration by upregulating eotaxin-3, and that surface association is critical for the role of eotaxin-3 in transmigration.

SummaryIncubation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells with one of the following compounds: endotoxin, recombinant interleukin-1β, recombinant tumor necrosis factor α, allogenic lymphocyte subpopulations or phorbol ester resulted in significant induction of tissue factor synthesis. Diacylglycerol had the same effect and also enhanced synergistically the induction caused by endotoxin and interleukin-1β. Two different inhibitors of protein kinase C, H7 and sphingosine, inhibited tissue factor synthesis at concentrations which did not depress protein synthesis in general, suggesting that protein kinase C is involved in the processes leading to tissue factor synthesis. Cells down-regulated for the tissue factor response to TPA responded essentially normally to endotoxin and interleukin-1 with regard to tissue factor synthesis.
