Migration of neutrophils requires sequential adhesive and deadhesive interactions between ß1 and ß2 integrins and components of the extracellular matrix. Prompted by reports that describe interaction of soluble ß-glucan with the ß2 integrin Mac-1, a role for ß-glucan in regulation of integrin-mediated migration was investigated. Neutrophil migration in response to fMLP was assessed using an agarose overlay method with slides precoated with fibronectin (Fn) ± ß-glucan. On Fn, random migration in excess of directed migration was observed. In contrast, migration on Fn + ß-glucan was directional, with marked diminution of random migration. This conversion of random to directed migration was seen neither when Fn was supplemented with alternative polysaccharides nor when ß-glucan was applied to other components of the extracellular matrix. This effect of ß-glucan was shown to be cation dependent and to be effected by Arg-Gly-Asp-containing peptides consistent with an integrin-mediated event. mAb inhibition studies demonstrate that ß-glucan effects this shift toward directed migration through suppression of migration mediated by Mac-1 and very late Ag 5 and enhancement of very late Ag 3-mediated migration. Adhesion assays suggest that the prochemotactic influence of ß-glucan is due, in part but not entirely, to modulation of PMN adhesion to Fn. In summary, these data support a novel role for ß-glucan in regulation of ß1- and ß2-mediated neutrophil migration on Fn.
