A novel pathway of HMGB1-mediated inflammatory cell recruitment that requires Mac-1-integrin.

ABSTRACT: High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is released extracellularly upon cell necrosis acting as a mediator in tissue injury and inflammation. However, the molecular mechanisms for the proinflammatory effect of HMGB1 are poorly understood. Here, we define a novel function of HMGB1 in promoting Mac-1-dependent neutrophil recruitment. HMGB1 administration induced rapid neutrophil recruitment in vivo. HMGB1-mediated recruitment was prevented in mice deficient in the beta2-integrin Mac-1 but not in those deficient in LFA-1. As observed by bone marrow chimera experiments, Mac-1-dependent neutrophil recruitment induced by HMGB1 required the presence of receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) on neutrophils but not on endothelial cells. In vitro, HMGB1 enhanced the interaction between Mac-1 and RAGE. Consistently, HMGB1 activated Mac-1 as well as Mac-1-mediated adhesive and migratory functions of neutrophils in a RAGE-dependent manner. Moreover, HMGB1-induced activation of nuclear factor-kappaB in neutrophils required both Mac-1 and RAGE. Together, a novel HMGB1-dependent pathway for inflammatory cell recruitment and activation that requires the functional interplay between Mac-1 and RAGE is described here.

Project description:ObjectiveWhile the role of antiphospholipid antibodies in activating endothelial cells has been extensively studied, the impact of these antibodies on the adhesive potential of leukocytes has received less attention. This study was undertaken to investigate the extent to which antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) neutrophils adhere to resting endothelial cells under physiologic flow conditions and the surface molecules required for that adhesion.MethodsPatients with primary APS (n = 43), patients with a history of venous thrombosis but negative test results for antiphospholipid antibodies (n = 11), and healthy controls (n = 38) were studied. Cells were introduced into a flow chamber and perfused across resting human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Surface adhesion molecules were quantified by flow cytometry. Neutrophil extracellular trap release (NETosis) was assessed in neutrophil-HUVEC cocultures.ResultsUpon perfusion of anticoagulated blood through the flow chamber, APS neutrophils demonstrated increased adhesion as compared to control neutrophils under conditions representative of either venous (n = 8; P < 0.05) or arterial (n = 15; P < 0.0001) flow. At the same time, APS neutrophils were characterized by up-regulation of CD64, CEACAM1, ?2 -glycoprotein I, and activated Mac-1 on their surface (n = 12-18; P < 0.05 for all markers). Exposing control neutrophils to APS plasma or APS IgG resulted in increased neutrophil adhesion (n = 10-11; P < 0.0001) and surface marker up-regulation as compared to controls. A monoclonal antibody specific for activated Mac-1 reduced the adhesion of APS neutrophils in the flow-chamber assay (P < 0.01). The same monoclonal antibody reduced NETosis in neutrophil-HUVEC cocultures (P < 0.01).ConclusionAPS neutrophils demonstrate increased adhesive potential, which is dependent upon the activated form of Mac-1. In patients, this could lower the threshold for neutrophil-endothelium interactions, NETosis, and possibly thrombotic events.
