Resumo

Adhesion molecules that tether circulating leukocytes to endothelial cells may also transduce or modulate outside-in signals for cellular activation, providing an initial regulatory point in the inflammatory response.Adhesion of human monocytes to P-selectin, the most rapidly expressed endothe- lial tethering factor, increased the secretion of monocyte chemotactic protein-i (MCP-1) and tumor necrosis factor- a (TNF-a) by the leukocytes when they were stimulated with platelet-activating factor.Increased cytokine secretion was specifically inhibited by G1, an anti-P-selectin mAb that prevents P-selectin from binding to its ligand (P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1) on myeloid cells.Moreover, tethering by P-selectin specifically enhanced nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-KB (NF-cB), a transcription factor required for expression of MCP-1, TNF-a, and other immediate-early genes.These results demonstrate that P-selectin, through its ligands on monocytes, may locally regulate cytokine secretion in inflamed tissues.(
