Platelet/Polymorphonuclear Leukocyte Interaction: P-Selectin Triggers Protein-Tyrosine Phosphorylation–Dependent CD11b/CD18 Adhesion: Role of PSGL-1 as a Signaling Molecule

Discovery of new genes and proteins directly supporting leukocyte adhesion is waning, whereas there is heightened interest in the cell mechanics and receptor dynamics that lead from transient tethering via selectins to affinity shifts and adhesion strengthening through integrins. New optical tools enable real-time imaging of leukocyte rolling and arrest in parallel plate flow channels (PPFCs), and detection of single-molecule force spectroscopy provides an inner view of the intercellular adhesive contact region. Leukocyte recruitment during acute inflammation is triggered by ligation of G protein-coupled chemotactic receptors (GPCRs) and clustering of selectins. This, in turn, activates beta(2)-integrin (CD18), which facilitates cell capture and arrest in shear flow. This review provides a conceptual model for the molecular events supporting leukocyte recruitment.

Molecular mechanics and dynamics of leukocyte recruitment during inflammation.

L-, E-, and P-selectin are membrane-anchored, C-type lectins that initiate tethering and rolling of flowing leukocytes on endothelial cells, platelets, or other leukocytes during inflammation. The selectins bind to sialylated, fucosylated, or, in some cases, sulfated glycans on glycoproteins, glycolipids, or proteoglycans. However, they bind with relatively high affinity or avidity to only a few, appropriately modified glycoproteins on leukocytes or endothelial cells. One leukocyte mucin, PSGL-1, tethers flowing leukocytes to P-selectin on activated platelets or endothelial cells, and also helps tether leukocytes to L-selectin on other leukocytes. The physiologic expression of the selectins is tightly controlled to limit the inflammatory response. But dysregulated expression of the selectins may contribute to inflammatory and thrombotic disorders, and perhaps to tumor metastases.

Selectin-carbohydrate interactions during inflammation and metastasis

BACKGROUND: After activation, platelets adhere to neutrophils via P-selectin and beta2-integrin. The molecular mechanisms and adhesion events in whole blood exposed to venous levels of hydrodynamic shear in the absence of exogenous activation remain unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS: Whole blood was sheared at approximately 100 s(-1). The kinetics of neutrophil-platelet adhesion and neutrophil aggregation were measured in real time by flow cytometry. P-selectin was upregulated to the platelet surface in response to shear and was the primary factor mediating neutrophil-platelet adhesion. The extent of neutrophil aggregation increased linearly with platelet adhesion to neutrophils. Blocking either P-selectin, its glycoprotein ligand PSGL-1, or both simultaneously by preincubation with a monoclonal antibody resulted in equivalent inhibition of neutrophil-platelet adhesion (approximately 30%) and neutrophil aggregation (approximately 70%). The residual amount of neutrophil adhesion was blocked with anti-CD11b/CD18. Treatment of blood with prostacyclin analogue ZK36374, which raises cAMP levels in platelets, blocked P-selectin upregulation and neutrophil aggregation to baseline. Complete abrogation of platelet-neutrophil adhesion required both ZK36374 and anti-CD18. Electron microscopic observations of fixed blood specimens revealed that platelets augmented neutrophil aggregation both by forming bridges between neutrophils and through contact-mediated activation. CONCLUSIONS: The results are consistent with a model in which venous levels of shear support platelet adherence to neutrophils via P-selectin binding PSGL-1. This interaction alone is sufficient to mediate neutrophil aggregation. Abrogation of platelet adhesion and aggregation requires blocking Mac-1 in addition to PSGL-1 or P-selectin. The described mechanisms are likely of key importance in the pathogenesis and progression of thrombotic disorders that are exacerbated by leukocyte-platelet aggregation.
