Popis: | Leukocyte rolling in post-capillary venules is mediated by adhesion molecules of the selectin family expressed on both leukocytes (L-selectin) and endothelial cells (E- and P-selectin). With the use of intravital fluorescence microscopy, the effects of antibodies against these selectins were analyzed in the skinfold chamber model of BALB/c mice and the ear model of homozygous hairless mice (hr/hr) that permit chronic observation of striated muscle and skin microcirculation in awake animals, respectively. Mice were injected intravenously with monoclonal antibodies (MAb) to murine L-selectin and E-selectin and affinity-purified polyclonal antibodies to P-selectin. The antibodies, which are known to block cell adhesion, were tested by immunoprecipitation to selectively bind to L-, E-, or P-selectin. Leukocyte rolling was a constant finding in both microcirculation models in the absence of inflammatory stimuli. In both models, injection of anti-P-selectin antibodies completely prevented baseline leukocyte rolling over an observation period of 2 h (P < 0.01 vs. baseline), while no effects were seen after administration of either anti-L-selectin or anti-E-selectin MAb. Treatment with the isotype-matched control antibodies did not affect leukocyte rolling in either model. We conclude that leukocyte rolling in postcapillary venules of murine striated muscle and skin is a physiological process mediated via P-selectin, whereas L- and E-selectin appear not to play a significant role under these circumstances. |
