PG - 1857-65 AB - We previously identified the structural requirement for the inhibitory activity of Leishmania lipophosphoglycan (LPG) to block endothelial adhesion to monocytes. Here we showed that LPG reduces transendothelial migration of monocytes. LPG pretreatment of endothelial cells (2 microM, 1 h) reduced monocyte migration across endothelial cells activated by bacterial endotoxin (LPS) or IL-1beta (60 and 46%, respectively). A fragment of LPG (i.e., repeating phosphodisaccharide (consisting of galactosyl-mannose)) and LPG coincubated with LPG-neutralizing mAb lacks inhibitory activity on monocyte migration. Pretreatment of monocytes with LPG (2 microM, 1 h) also did not affect monocyte migration through control or LPS-activated endothelial cells. FACS analysis reveals that LPG treatment blocked the LPS-mediated expression of E-selectin, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 on endothelial cells and monocyte adhesion without altering the integrity of the endothelial monolayer. LPG (2 microM, 1 h) alone was capable of altering the expression and distribution of two junctional adhesion molecules, CD31 and vascular endothelium cadherin, as well as reversing the effects of LPS on these proteins. The induction of endothelial cells by LPS to transcribe and release monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) was significantly reduced by LPG (40-65%). LPG treatment of nonactivated endothelial cells also suppressed by 55 to 75% the monocyte migration triggered by a MCP-1 chemoattractant gradient, and coincubation of LPG with neutralizing mAb abrogated the inhibitory activity. Together, these data point to a novel anti-inflammatory function of LPG in reducing monocyte migration across endothelial cells via a mechanism of inhibition of endothelial expression of cell adhesion molecules, modulation of intercellular junctional proteins, and synthesis of MCP-1.
