Monocyte Adhesion to Activated Aortic Endothelium: Role of L-Selectin and Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans

Abstract: This study examines the role of L-selectin in monocyte adhesion to arterial endothelium, a key pathogenic event of atherosclerosis. Using a nonstatic (rotation) adhesion assay, we observed that monocyte binding to bovine aortic endothelium at 4°C increased four to nine times upon endothelium activation with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. mAb-blocking experiments demonstrated that L-selectin mediates a major part (64 ± 18%) of monocyte attachment. Videomicroscopy experiments performed under flow indicated that … Show more

“…The carbohydrates involved in this latter interaction have not been identified. However, it is thought that sulfation is important for high affinity binding to L-selectin (54)(55)(56)(57)(58), and, specifically, that heparan sulfate proteoglycans serve as ligands for monocyte L-selectin (59). Our study suggests that fucose is not an important saccharide for L-selectin-mediated rolling on systemic endothelium.…”

“…However, adhesion was not completely inhibited by the addition of blocking antibodies, suggesting that other adhesion molecules may be involved in this process. In addition to integrins, L-selectins are expressed on myeloid cells and have been shown to play an important role in the initial interaction with or tethering of monocytes to the endothelium (31,32). Unfortunately, there is no antibody available against L-selectin that cross-reacts specifically with equine monocytes to allow further experiments.…”
