Abstract
Polymorphonuclear leukocyte infiltration into tissues in host defense and inflammatory diseasecauses increased vascular permeability and edema formation through unknown mechanisms.Here, we report the involvement of a paracrine mechanism in neutrophil-evoked alteration inendothelial barrier function. We show that upon neutrophil adhesion to the endothelial lining,leukocytic 2 integrin signaling triggers the release of neutrophil-borne heparin-binding protein(HBP), also known as CAP37/azurocidin, a member of the serprocidin family of neutrophilcationic proteins. HBP induced Ca++-dependent cytoskeletal rearrangement and intercellular gapformation in endothelial-cell monolayers in vitro, and increased macromolecular efflux in microvesselsin... (More)
Polymorphonuclear leukocyte infiltration into tissues in host defense and inflammatory diseasecauses increased vascular permeability and edema formation through unknown mechanisms.Here, we report the involvement of a paracrine mechanism in neutrophil-evoked alteration inendothelial barrier function. We show that upon neutrophil adhesion to the endothelial lining,leukocytic 2 integrin signaling triggers the release of neutrophil-borne heparin-binding protein(HBP), also known as CAP37/azurocidin, a member of the serprocidin family of neutrophilcationic proteins. HBP induced Ca++-dependent cytoskeletal rearrangement and intercellular gapformation in endothelial-cell monolayers in vitro, and increased macromolecular efflux in microvesselsin vivo. Moreover, selective inactivation of HBP prevented the neutrophils from inducingendothelial hyperpermeability. Our data suggest a fundamental role of neutrophil-derivedHBP in the vascular response to neutrophil trafficking in inflammation. Targeting this moleculein inflammatory disease conditions offers a new strategy for prevention of endothelial barrierdysfunction caused by misdirected leukocyte activation. (Less)
