HMGB-1 induces c-kit+ cell microvascular rolling and adhesion via both toll-like receptor-2 and toll-like receptor-4 of endothelial cells.

ABSTRACT: High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB-1) is a strong chemo-attractive signal for both inflammatory and stem cells. The aim of this study is to evaluate the mechanisms regulating HMGB-1-mediated adhesion and rolling of c-kit(+) cells and assess whether toll-like receptor-2 (TLR-2) and toll-like receptor-4 (TLR-4) of endothelial cells or c-kit(+) cells are implicated in the activation of downstream migration signals to peripheral c-kit(+) cells. Effects of HMGB-1 on the c-kit(+) cells/endothelial interaction were evaluated by a cremaster muscle model in wild-type (WT), TLR-2 (-/-) and Tlr4 (LPS-del) mice. The mRNA and protein expression levels of endothelial nitric oxide synthase were determined by quantitative real-time PCR and immunofluorescence staining. Induction of crucial adhesion molecules for rolling and adhesion of stem cells and leukocytes were monitored in vivo and in vitro. Following local HMGB-1 administration, a significant increase in cell rolling was detected (32.4 ± 7.1% in 'WT' versus 9.9 ± 3.2% in 'control', P < 0.05). The number of firmly adherent c-kit(+) cells was more than 13-fold higher than that of the control group (14.6 ± 5.1 cells/mm(2) in 'WT' versus 1.1 ± 1.0 cells/mm(2) in 'control', P < 0.05). In knockout animals, the fraction of rolling cells did not differ significantly from control levels. Firm endothelial adhesion was significantly reduced in TLR-2 (-/-) and Tlr4 (LPS-del) mice compared to WT mice (1.5 ± 1.4 cells/mm(2) in 'TLR-2 (-/-)' and 2.4 ± 1.4 cells/mm(2) in 'Tlr4 (LPS-del)' versus 14.6 ± 5.1 cells/mm(2) in 'WT', P < 0.05). TLR-2 (-/-) and Tlr4 (LPS-del) stem cells in WT mice did not show significant reduction in rolling and adhesion compared to WT cells. HMGB-1 mediates c-kit(+) cell recruitment via endothelial TLR-2 and TLR-4.

Project description:ObjectivesCatecholaminergic vasopressors are the cornerstone of circulatory shock management. Nevertheless, catecholamines have problematic side effects, arousing a growing interest in noncatecholaminergic agents such as vasopressin or angiotensin-II. However, their respective effects on sepsis-associated microvascular endothelial dysfunction such as permeability or inflammation remain elusive. We investigated the role of catecholamines and other vasopressors on Toll-like receptor agonists-induced microvascular endothelial permeability and inflammation.SettingUniversity research laboratory/cell research.SubjectsHuman pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells from multiple donors.InterventionConfluent monolayers of human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells were treated with Toll-like receptor agonists (lipopolysaccharide, Poly[I:C], or tripalmitoyl-S-glyceryl cysteine) in the presence or absence of epinephrine, norepinephrine, vasopressin, and angiotensin-II. Permeability was inferred from transendothelial resistance, measured using electrical cell impedance sensing, where decreased transendothelial resistance is consistent with increased permeability. Cell-cell junction molecule expression was assessed via immunofluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. We quantified cytokines in supernatants of Toll-like receptor agonist-treated human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells.Measurements and main resultsEpinephrine and norepinephrine both ameliorate lipopolysaccharide, polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid, or tripalmitoyl-S-glyceryl cysteine-induced reductions in transendothelial resistance, a surrogate for endothelial permeability. In contrast, the noncatecholaminergic agents, vasopressin, and angiotensin-II did not affect Toll-like receptor agonists-induced reductions in transendothelial resistance. β1- and β2-adrenergic receptor antagonists reduced the effects of the catecholamines on transendothelial resistance, whereas α-adrenergic receptor antagonists did not. We observed that epinephrine and norepinephrine induced actin cytoskeletal rearrangement and normalized the membrane expression of proteins involved with adherens-junctions (vascular endothelial-cadherin) and tight-junctions (zona occludens-1). Despite having a substantial effect on endothelial permeability, epinephrine and norepinephrine did not affect human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cell survival or production of interleukin-8, interleukin-6, or monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (CCL-2) induced by Toll-like receptor agonists, suggesting that these functions are regulated separately from permeability.ConclusionsOur findings demonstrate that treatment with epinephrine or norepinephrine strongly reduces endothelial permeability induced by agonists of multiple Toll-like receptors (Toll-like receptor-2, Toll-like receptor-3, Toll-like receptor-4) in vitro. Our studies suggest that both β1- and β2-adrenergic receptors mediate the stabilizing effects of epinephrine and norepinephrine on the endothelial barrier.

Project description:Endothelial dysfunction is an early event in coronary microvascular disease. Integrin-linked kinase (ILK) prevents endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) uncoupling and, thus, endothelial dysfunction. However, the specific role of endothelial ILK in cardiac function remains to be fully elucidated. We hypothesised that endothelial ILK plays a crucial role in maintaining coronary microvascular function and contractile performance in the heart. We generated an endothelial cell-specific ILK conditional knock-out mouse (ecILK cKO) and investigated cardiovascular function. Coronary endothelial ILK deletion significantly impaired cardiac function: ejection fraction, fractional shortening and cardiac output decreased, whilst left ventricle diastolic internal diameter decreased and E/A and E/E' ratios increased, indicating not only systolic but also diastolic dysfunction. The functional data correlated with extensive extracellular matrix remodelling and perivascular fibrosis, indicative of adverse cardiac remodelling. Mice with endothelial ILK deletion suffered early ischaemic-like events with ST elevation and transient increases in cardiac troponins, which correlated with fibrotic remodelling. In addition, ecILK cKO mice exhibited many features of coronary microvascular disease: reduced cardiac perfusion, impaired coronary flow reserve and arterial remodelling with patent epicardial coronary arteries. Moreover, endothelial ILK deletion induced a moderate increase in blood pressure, but the antihypertensive drug Losartan did not affect microvascular remodelling whilst only partially ameliorated fibrotic remodelling. The plasma miRNA profile reveals endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (endMT) as an upregulated pathway in endothelial ILK conditional KO mice. Our results show that endothelial cells in the microvasculature in endothelial ILK conditional KO mice underwent endMT. Moreover, endothelial cells isolated from these mice and ILK-silenced human microvascular endothelial cells underwent endMT, indicating that decreased endothelial ILK contributes directly to this endothelial phenotype shift. Our results identify ILK as a crucial regulator of microvascular endothelial homeostasis. Endothelial ILK prevents microvascular dysfunction and cardiac remodelling, contributing to the maintenance of the endothelial cell phenotype.
