A Unique Role for Endothelial Cell Kinesin Light Chain 1, Variant 1 in Leukocyte Transendothelial Migration.

ABSTRACT: A reservoir of parajunctional membrane in endothelial cells, the lateral border recycling compartment (LBRC), is critical for transendothelial migration (TEM). We have previously shown that targeted recycling of the LBRC to the site of TEM requires microtubules and a kinesin molecular motor. However, the identity of the kinesin and mechanism of cargo binding were not known. We show that microinjection of endothelial cells with a monoclonal antibody specific for kinesin-1 significantly blocked LBRC-targeted recycling and TEM. In complementary experiments, knocking down KIF5B, a ubiquitous kinesin-1 isoform, in endothelial cells significantly decreased targeted recycling of the LBRC and leukocyte TEM. Kinesin heavy chains move cargo along microtubules by one of many kinesin light chains (KLCs), which directly bind the cargo. Knocking down KLC 1 isoform variant 1 (KLC1C) significantly decreased LBRC-targeted recycling and TEM, whereas knocking down other isoforms of KLC1 had no effect. Re-expression of KLC1C resistant to the knockdown shRNA restored targeted recycling and TEM. Thus kinesin-1 and KLC1C are specifically required for targeted recycling and TEM. These data suggest that of the many potential combinations of the 45 kinesin family members and multiple associated light chains, KLC1C links the LBRC to kinesin-1 (KIF5B) during targeted recycling and TEM. Thus, KLC1C can potentially be used as a target for anti-inflammatory therapy.

Project description:Explosion-induced injury is the most commonly encountered wound in modern warfare and incidents. The vascular inflammatory response and subsequent oxidative stress are considered the key causes of morbidity and mortality among those in blast lung injury. It has been reported dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase 1 (DDAH1) plays important roles in regulating vascular endothelial injury repair and angiogenesis, but its role in explosion-induced injury remains to be explained. To explore the mechanism of vascular injury in blast lung, 40 C57BL/6 wild type mice and 40 DDAH1 knockout mice were randomly equally divided into control group and blast group, respectively. Body weight, lung weight, and dry weight of the lungs were recorded. Diffuse vascular leakage was detected by Evans blue test. The serum inflammatory factors, nitric oxide (NO) contents, and ADMA level were determined through ELISA. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and ROS detection were performed for histopathological changes. Western blot was used to detect the proteins related to oxidative stress, cell adhesion molecules and leukocyte transendothelial migration, vascular injury, endothelial barrier dysfunction, and the DDAH1/ADMA/eNOS signaling pathway. We found that DDAH1 deficiency aggravated explosion-induced body weight reduction, lung weight promotion, diffuse vascular leakage histopathological changes, and the increased levels of inflammatory-related factors. Additionally, DDAH1 deficiency also increased ROS generation, MDA, and IRE-1α expression. Regarding vascular endothelial barrier dysfunction, DDAH1 deficiency increased the expression of ICAM-1, Itgal, Rac2, VEGF, MMP9, vimentin, and N-cadherin, while lowering the expression of occludin, CD31, and dystrophin. DDAH1 deficiency also exacerbated explosion-induced increase of ADMA and decrease of eNOS activity and NO contents. Our results indicated that explosion could induce severe lung injury and pulmonary vascular insufficiency, whereas DDAH1 could promote lung endothelial barrier repair and reduce inflammation and oxidative stress by inhibiting ADMA signaling which in turn increased eNOS activity.
