The multistep model of leukocyte adhesion reveals that selectins
mediate rolling interactions and that integrins mediate firm adhesion
processes. In this study, the interaction between eosinophils and
TNF-
-activated HUVEC (second or third passage) was studied under
flow conditions (0.8 and 3.2 dynes/cm2). Especially the
role of
4 integrins on eosinophils and E-selectin on
HUVEC was studied. Inhibition of the integrin
4 chain on
eosinophils reduced the number of firmly adhered resting eosinophils to
TNF-
-stimulated endothelium by 43% whereas the percentage rolling
cells increased 2.2-fold compared with untreated control eosinophils.
Blocking of E-selectin on the endothelium reduced the number of
adherent eosinophils by only 23% and 16%. In this situation, however,
hardly any rolling adhesion was observed, and the few rolling cells
showed a low rolling velocity. Blocking both
4 integrin
on eosinophils and E-selectin on HUVEC reduced the number of adhered
eosinophils by 95%. P-selectin did not significantly participate in
eosinophil adhesion to TNF-
-activated HUVEC. Inhibition of both
4 integrins and ß2 integrins on
eosinophils resulted in a reduction of adhered cells by 65% and a
3-fold increase in percentage rolling cells. Taken together, these
results clearly show that resting eosinophils preferentially use
constitutively active
4 integrins
(
4ß1,
4ß7)
for the first attachment to TNF-
-activated HUVEC. In addition,
4 integrins and E-selectin work synergistically in
eosinophil adherence to TNF-
-activated HUVEC. Although E-selectin is
important for eosinophil rolling under these conditions, P-selectin
plays only a minor role.
