The integrin family not only mediates the recruitment of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) to sites of inflammation but also regulates several effector functions by binding to specific ligands. We have recently demonstrated that soluble fibrinogen (sFbg) is able to trigger an activating signal in PMN through an integrin-dependent mechanism. This activation results in degranulation, phagocytosis enhancement, and apoptosis delay. The aim of the present work was to further elucidate the molecular events that follow sFbg interaction with CD11b in human PMN, and the participation of this signaling pathway in the regulation of neutrophil functionality. We demonstrate that sFbg triggers a cascade of intracellular signals that lead to focal adhesion kinase and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 tyrosine phosphorylation. The activation of this mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway plays a central role in the sFbg modulation of secondary granule degranulation, Ab-dependent phagocytosis, and apoptosis. However, fibrinogen-induced secretory vesicle degranulation occurs independently of the signaling transduction pathways investigated herein. In the context of an inflammatory process, the intracellular signal pathway activated by sFbg may be an early event influencing the functionality of PMN.
