Abstract: | Leukocyte rolling, adhesion, and migration on vascular endothelium involve several sets of adhesion molecules that interact simultaneously. Each of these receptor-ligand pairs may play multiple roles. We examined the role of ICAM-1 in adhesive interactions with mouse aortic endothelial cells (MAECs) in an in vitro flow system. Average rolling velocity of the monocytic cell line WEHI 274.1 was increased on ICAM-1-deficient MAECs compared with wild-type MAECs, both with and without TNF- stimulation. High-temporal-resolution analysis provided insights into the underlying basis for these differences. Without TNF- stimulation, average rolling velocity was slower on wild-type than on ICAM-1-deficient endothelium because of brief (<1 s) pauses. On TNF- -stimulated ICAM-1-deficient endothelium, cells rolled faster because of transient accelerations, producing "jerky" rolling. Firm adhesion to ICAM-1-deficient MAECs was significantly reduced compared with wild-type MAECs, although the number of rolling cells was similar. These results demonstrate directly that ICAM-1 affects rolling velocity by stabilizing leukocyte rolling. intercellular adhesion molecule-1; cell adhesion; leukocytes; vascular endothelium; videomicroscopy |
