Abstract Granulocyte recruitment during the acute inflammatory response is initiated by their rolling along the endothelial lining of postcapillary venules. To determine whether expression of L-selectin alone is sufficient for rolling, the murine pre-B lymphocytic cell line 300.19, which does not bind E- or P-selectin, was transfected with human L-selectin cDNA, which led to stable L-selectin expression at a level similar to that of blood lymphocytes. Fluorescent-labeled cells were infused retrogradely into a side branch of the superior mesenteric artery of anesthetized rats. In venules of the mesenteric membrane, leukocyte rolling occurs without intentional stimulation. On average, 17% +/- 6% of L-selectin transfectants rolled in the observed venules, while mock-transfected cells did not roll. Rolling of L-selectin transfectants began approximately 20 minutes after surgery and continued for at least 120 minutes. In contrast, HL-60 promyelocytes, which express sialyl-Lewis(x) tetrasaccharide (sLe(x)) but not L- selectin and that bind to E- and P-selectin in vitro, did not roll between 20 and 120 minutes, but some HL-60 cells rolled at very early (< 20 minutes) and late (> 2 hours) time points. Pretreatment with either of two function-blocking monoclonal antibodies recognizing the lectin domain of L-selectin completely blocked rolling of L-selectin transfectants and sharply reduced (by 70%) rolling of isolated human granulocytes. Taken together, these results show that L-selectin can mediate leukocyte rolling by virtue of its lectin activity.

The selectins (L, E, and P) play an important role in the earliest events of the inflammatory response, leading to the “rolling” phenomenon. All selectins react with sialyl Lewis X (SLex) in vitro, possibly suggesting that their ligands have a consensus structure. 2H5 is a monoclonal antibody against SLex that blocks L-selectin-mediated adhesion. 2H5 inhibited adhesion of HL-60 cells to P- and E-selectin-producing COS cells in vitro and immunoprecipitated a P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1-like glycoprotein from HL-60 cell lysate, suggesting that it recognizes a functional consensus structure on the ligands for all selectins. 2H5 reacted not only with human but also with rat and mouse neutrophils. 2H5 is the first antibody against SLex that recognizes neutrophils of nonhuman mammals. The carbohydrate structure recognized by 2H5 was present not only on high endothelial venules of rat lymphoid organs but also on the endothelial cells of nonlymphoid organs. Furthermore, administration of the antibody markedly inhibited L- and P-selectin-mediated neutrophil rolling and adhesion in rat mesenteric venules in vivo. These results provide evidence for the presence of a consensus carbohydrate structure on the ligands for all selectins. The consensus structure thus has the potential to serve as a therapeutic target.

P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) is a high-affinity counterreceptor for P-selectin on myeloid cells and activated T-cells. In addition, PSGL-1 can serve, both in vitro and in vivo, as an E- selectin ligand. Appropriate glycosylation of PSGL-1 is crucial for binding to P-selectin. Functional PSGL-1 is known to bear sialyl lewis X (SLex) or a closely related oligosaccharide. In this study, we show that Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing PSGL-1 and fucosyltransferase show a dramatic increase in binding to P-selectin when transfected with “core2” transferase, the enzyme that initiates branching of O-linked glycans. Moreover, only PSGL-1 from core2 transfectant CHO cells can be affinity-captured with P-selectin, suggesting that branched O-linked glycans are required for high-affinity binding to P-selectin. Analysis of PSGL-1-derived O-linked oligosaccharides produced in core2 transfected cells shows the presence of more elaborated glycans. Interestingly, transfection of core2 in these cells does not alter binding to E-selectin.

SummaryWe have previously shown that activated platelets in circulation stimulate release of endothelial Weibel-Palade bodies thus increasing leukocyte rolling in venules. P-selectin on the activated platelets mediates adhesion to leukocytes via PSGL-1 and is rapidly shed into plasma. We were interested in studying the role of PSGL-1 in regulating expression and function of platelet P-selectin. We show here that PSGL-1 is critical for the activation of endothelial cells in venules of mice infused with activated platelets. The interaction of platelet P-selectin with PSGL-1 is also required for P-selectin shedding, as P-selectin was retained significantly longer on the surface of activated platelets infused into PSGL-1-/- compared to wild-type mice. The leukocyte integrin αMβ2 (Mac-1) was not required for P-selectin shedding. In addition to shedding, P-selectin can be downregulated from the platelet surface through internalization and this is the predominant mechanism in the absence of PSGL-1. We demonstrate that leukocyte- neutrophil elastase,known to cleave P-selectin in vitro, is not the major sheddase for P-selectin in vivo. In conclusion, interaction of platelet P-selectin with PSGL-1 is crucial for activation of the endothelium andWeibel-Palade body secretion. The interaction with PSGL-1 also results in rapid shedding of P-selectin thus downregulating the inflammatory potential of the platelet.

In vitro, nitric oxide (NO) decreases leukocyte adhesion to endothelium by attenuating endothelial adhesion molecule expression. In vivo, lipopolysaccharide-induced leukocyte rolling and adhesion was greater in inducible NO synthase (iNOS)−/− mice than in wild-type mice. The objective of this study was to assess E- and P-selectin expression in the microvasculature of iNOS−/− and wild-type mice subjected to acute peritonitis by cecal ligation and perforation (CLP). E- and P-selectin expression were increased in various organs within the peritoneum of wild-type animals after CLP. This CLP-induced upregulation of E- and P-selectin was substantially reduced in iNOS−/− mice. Tissue myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity was increased to a greater extent in the gut of wild-type than in iNOS−/− mice subjected to CLP. In the lung, the reduced expression of E-selectin in iNOS−/− mice was not associated with a decrease in MPO. Our findings indicate that NO derived from iNOS plays an important role in sepsis-induced increase in selectin expression in the systemic and pulmonary circulation. However, in iNOS−/− mice, sepsis-induced leukocyte accumulation is affected in the gut but not in the lungs.

Murine and human leukocytes express surface glycoproteins, termed homing receptors (HRs), containing lectin-like, EGF-like (egf), and complement binding-like domains, that apparently endow these cells with the ability to home to peripheral lymph nodes (pln's) by virtue of an adhesive interaction with the pln postcapillary venule endothelium. The murine pln HR was initially characterized with a rat monoclonal antibody, Mel 14, that was specific for the murine form of the receptor. This work demonstrated that Mel 14 blocked the binding of murine lymphocytes to pln endothelium both in vitro and in vivo, a result consistent with the possibility that this monoclonal antibody recognizes a region of the HR that is involved with endothelium recognition and adhesion. In addition, this antibody also blocked the binding to the HR of PPME, a polyphosphomannan carbohydrate known to inhibit lymphocyte-pln endothelium interactions, suggesting that Mel 14 may recognize the lectin domain of the pln HR. Here we show that, while Mel 14 recognized truncated HR containing both the lectin and egf domains, antibody recognition was lost when the lectin domain alone was expressed. Chimeric molecules, in which regions of the lectin domain of the non-Mel 14-reactive human pln HR were replaced with homologous regions of the murine pln HR, demonstrated that the Mel 14 recognition site is within the NH2-terminal 53 amino acids of the lectin domain. These results suggest that the Mel 14 monoclonal antibody recognizes a determinant within the lectin domain of the pln HR whose conformation may be dependent upon the presence of the egf domain. Since Mel 14 efficiently blocks lymphocyte-endothelial interactions, these results support the hypothesis that the pln HR lectin domain may be directly involved with binding of lymphocytes to a carbohydrate ligand on the pln postcapillary venule endothelium.

Observable Event

Abstract Leukocyte rolling is the earliest observable event in their recruitment from the circulation to inflamed tissue. This rolling is mediated largely by interaction between the selectin family of adhesion molecules and their glycosylated ligands. Although the nature of these ligands and their interaction with the selectins is not fully understood, it is accepted that expression of fucosylated sialylated glycans such as sialyl Lewisx (sLex) is required for function. Despite findings that sLex inhibits binding of leukocytes to E-selectin in vitro, and has beneficial effects in inflammatory disease models, inhibition of E-selectin–dependent leukocyte rolling in vivo has not been described. Functional overlap between the selectins has been noted and reduction of rolling by E-selectin antibodies only occurs if P-selectin is absent or blocked. We demonstrate that leukocyte rolling velocity in tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα)-stimulated mouse cremaster is increased following treatment with either sLex or the sLex-mimetic CGP69669A and that rolling is dramatically reduced if CGP69669A is applied in the presence of anti–P-selectin antibody. These effects are characteristic of E-selectin antagonism. In contrast, surgically stimulated (L- or P-selectin–dependent) rolling is unaffected by either sLex or CGP69669A. Our data demonstrate that CGP69669A is an effective and selective antagonist of E-selectin in vivo.

Abstract We previously reported that the lectin domain of αMβ2 receptors on hepatic macrophages mediates rapid clearance of washed murine platelets transfused after refrigeration for 2 hours, recognizing exposed βN-acetylglucosamine (βGlcNAc) residues of N-linked glycans on clustered platelet GPIbα molecules and that the same receptors elicit phagocytosis of refrigerated human platelets human macrophages in vitro. A platelet-associated galactosyltransferase catalyzes the covering of βGlcNAc residues with galactose in the presence of UDP-galactose, thereby blocking clearance of cold mouse platelets in vivo and phagocytosis of human platelets in vitro. These intriguing findings contradicted earlier evidence that refrigeration of human platelets procured for transfusion only promotes their rapid clearance after prolonged (>8h) incubation and also are inconsistent with the well-known recognition system for exposed galactose residues through asialoglycoprotein (ASGP) receptors. Reconciling these contradictions, we report that the absence of plasma during storage accounts for the differences in time of exposure to cold to promote clearance and that mouse platelets cold-stored in plasma also only clear rapidly after long-term (48h) storage. We also found that hepatic clearance of long-term cold-stored (LTCS) mouse platelets occurs in hepatocytes. Streptavidin-POD staining revealed abundant LTCS biotinylated platelets in hepatocyte phagosomes. Furthermore, cells of the hepatocyte HepG2 line avidly ingest fluorescently-labeled LTCS human platelets (7-fold above the baseline of room-temperature-stored platelets), as evidenced by flow cytometry, fluorescent microscopy and by time-laps video microscopy. Long-term cold storage increases by ~1.7-fold platelet binding of the galactose-specific lectin RCA I, implying that with long-term cold storage, exposed galactose residues cluster sufficiently to induce recognition by hepatocyte ASGPR receptors. The results define a new clearance mechanism, representing the first example of blood cell removal by a non-myeloid cell. Since we find that human platelets also express a cell surface sialotransferase that adds sialic acid to galactose residues, we suggest that a combination of sialylation and glactosylation, achievable by addition of sugar substrates alone, might accommodate long-term cold storage of platelets for transfusion.
