PG - H2584-91 AB - Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is an essential chemokine involved in monocyte traffic across endo- and epithelial barriers both in vitro and in vivo. However, the contribution of endothelial MCP-1 signaling via its CCR2 receptor in monocyte adhesion to inflamed endothelium under flow is incompletely understood. A sensitive flow chamber assay was used to assess monocyte adhesion to TNF-alpha-activated primary human pulmonary artery endothelial cells (HPAEC) during physiological shear stress. Monocyte adhesion was markedly reduced ( approximately 45%) when HPAEC-derived MCP-1 was either neutralized with anti-MCP-1 mAb or inhibited by translational arrest of MCP-1 mRNA transcripts with MCP-1 antisense oligomers. Corresponding efficacy was observed for blockade of monocyte CCR2 receptor function by anti-CCR2 mAb or MCP-1 antagonists (9-76 analog). The impact of endothelial MCP-1 on monocyte-HPAEC adhesion occurred via beta(2)-integrin but not via beta(1)-integrin adhesion pathways. In this line, pretreatment of monocytes with MCP-1 but not RANTES provoked a rapid and transient neoepitope 24 expression on beta(2)-integrin alpha-chains, as analyzed by increased reporter mAb24 binding. Collectively, our data show an important cross talk of endothelial MCP-1 with monocyte CCR2 effecting monocyte firm adhesion to inflamed HPAEC under physiological flow conditions.
