Coexpression of GMP-140 and PAF by endothelium stimulated by histamine or thrombin: a juxtacrine system for adhesion and activation of neutrophils.

Abstract: Abstract. The adhesion of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) to vascular endothelial cells (EC) is an early and fundamental event in acute inflammation . This process requires the regulated expression of molecules on both the EC and PMN . EC stimulated with histamine or thrombin coexpress two proadhesive molecules within minutes : granule membrane protein 140 (GMP-140), a member of the selectin family, and platelet-activating factor (PAF), a biologically active phospholipid . Coexpression of GMP-140 and PAF i… Show more

“…The presence of P-selectin on an activated endothelial cell layer plays an essential role in the initiation of a tentative adhesive interaction between the circulating inflammatory cell and activated endothelial cell monolayer [21]. Subsequently, the enhanced expression of endothelial cell-associated PAF has been shown to cause transient adherence of neutrophils to the endothelial cells [22][23][24].…”

“…In response to stimuli such as histamine or LTC 4 , P-selectin is rapidly mobilized from storage granules known as Weibel-Palade bodies. 21,22 P-selectin expression can also be increased through de novo transcription and translation in response to agents such as TNF-␣. 23 In a recent study, 5 we showed that the central venules were incapable of responding to histamine or LTC 4 , suggesting a lack of the first mechanism.…”

“…Alternatively, the PAF receptor may differ from CXCR2 in its PTX-sensitive signal transduction pathways and coupling to Gα proteins (48), which may enable a more rapid activation of Mac-1 adhesiveness under flow conditions. In parallel, endothelial PAF has been implicated in juxtacrine stimulation of integrin function in PMN tethered through P-selectin on thrombin-stimulated endothelium (54). Although P-selectin itself does not trigger arrest of PMN under flow, it may cooperate with chemoattractants to stimulate leukocytes (55).…”
