Heparan sulfate potentiates leukocyte adhesion on cardiac fibroblast by enhancing Vcam-1 and Icam-1 expression

Abstract: These data show the dual role of HS during the initial stages of wound healing. Initially, HS enhance the pro-inflammatory role of CF increasing cytokines secretion; and later, by increasing protein adhesion molecules allows the adhesion of SMC on CF, which trigger CF-to-CMF differentiation.

“…VCAM-1 is a cell surface sialoglycoprotein originally identified to be expressed in activated endothelial cells and mediating adhesion of leukocytes during the inflammation process [39]. VCAM-1 is expressed in a variety of human tissues and organs, including dendritic cells, macrophages, cardiac fibroblasts, synoviocytes, as well as in several types of malignant cells and its expression has been associated with pathophysiological conditions such as autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular disease, and infections [39][40][41]. Because VEGF-A signaling mediates VCAM-1 expression [42,43], we investigated VCAM-1 levels in periodontal tissues during EP in animals treated with antiresorptives.…”

“…It is identified via the expression of adhesion/inflammatory molecules, such as VCAM-1 and ICAM-1. An increase in VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 surface protein expression leads to an increase in vascular inflammation and the initiation of atherosclerotic plaque formation [37,38]. Thus, we examined the effect of Ref-1 overexpression on the expression of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 in thrombotic carotid arteries.…”

“…Under the stimulation of TLR4 ligands such as LPS and DAMPs, cardiac fibroblasts can promote the transformation of monocyte phenotype into pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages, while under the stimulation of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), cardiac fibroblasts can direct monocytes toward antiinflammatory/pro-fibrotic M2 macrophages (126). Interestingly, monocytes can adhere to cardiac fibroblasts and trigger secretion of TNF-α and TGF-β to transform fibroblasts to myofibroblasts, which also is relevant to the activation of TLR4 (127).…”
