Popis: Rationale : Adhesive interactions between endothelial cells and leukocytes affect leukocyte trafficking in adipose tissue. The role of P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (Psgl-1) in this process is unclear. Objective : The goal of this study was to determine the effect of Psgl-1 deficiency on adhesive properties of the endothelium and on leukocyte recruitment into obese adipose depots. Methods and Results : A genetic model of obesity was generated to study the effects of Psgl-1 deficiency on leukocyte trafficking. Leukocyte-endothelial interactions were increased in obese leptin receptor mutant mice ( Lepr db/db ,Psgl-1 +/+ ) but not obese Psgl-1–deficient mice ( Lepr db/db ,Psgl-1 −/− ), when compared with lean mice ( Lepr +/+ ,Psgl-1 +/+ ). This effect of Psgl-1 deficiency was due to indirect effects of Psgl-1, because Psgl-1 +/+ adoptively transferred leukocytes did not exhibit enhanced rolling in Lepr db/db ,Psgl-1 −/− mice. Additionally, circulating levels of P-selectin, E-selectin, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and macrophage content of visceral adipose tissue were reduced in Lepr db/db ,Psgl-1 −/− compared with Lepr db/db ,Psgl-1 +/+ mice. Reduced leukocyte-endothelial interactions and macrophage content of visceral adipose tissue due to Psgl-1 deficiency was also observed in a diet-induced obese mouse model. Psgl-1 −/− mice were resistant to the endothelial effects of exogenous IL-1β, suggesting that defective cytokine signaling contributes to the effect of Psgl-1 deficiency on leukocyte-endothelial interactions. Mice deficient in the IL-1 receptor also had reduced levels of circulating P-selectin, similar to those observed in Psgl-1 −/− mice. Conclusions : Deficiency of Psgl-1 is associated with reduced IL-1 receptor-mediated adhesive properties of the endothelium and is protective against visceral fat inflammation in obese mice.
