Eosinophils exhibit a rolling interaction with
E-selectin-expressing endothelium, and need to be activated by
inflammatory mediators to firmly adhere to this surface. This study
shows that IL-8 induces a transient arrest of unprimed eosinophils that
roll on E-selectin present on TNF-
-activated HUVEC in an in vitro
flow chamber. This process was antagonized by neutralizing Abs directed
against IL-8 showing the specificity of the IL-8 effect. Furthermore,
blocking Abs against both
4 and
2
integrins inhibited the IL-8-induced transient arrest while these Abs
had no effect when they were added separately. The IL-8-induced arrest
was pertussis toxin sensitive. Studying the effect of IL-8 in more
detail, we evaluated putative changes in intracellular Ca2+
concentration in eosinophils induced by IL-8. We could show that IL-8
induces a transient rise in intracellular Ca2+
concentration in
40% of the cells provided that the eosinophils are
interacting with endothelial cells or fibronectin-coated surfaces.
Together these data show that resting eosinophils respond to IL-8
provided that the cells adhere on physiological surfaces. The induction
of a transient arrest provides a new level of chemokine-induced
regulation of leukocyte adhesion under flow
conditions.
