Abstract:
Activated T cells migrate from the blood into nonlymphoid tissues through a multistep process that involves cell rolling, arrest, and transmigration. P-Selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) is a major ligand for P-selectin expressed on subsets of activated T cells such as Th1 cells and mediates cell rolling on vascular endothelium. Rolling cells are arrested through a firm adhesion step mediated by integrins. Although chemokines presented on the endothelium trigger integrin activation, a second mechanism has been proposed where signaling via rolling receptors directly activates integrins. In this study, we show that Ab-mediated cross-linking of the PSGL-1 on Th1 cells enhances LFA-1-dependent cell binding to ICAM-1. PSGL-1 cross-linking did not enhance soluble ICAM-1 binding but induced clustering of LFA-1 on the cell surface, suggesting that an increase in LFA-1 avidity may account for the enhanced binding to ICAM-1. Combined stimulation by PSGL-1 cross-linking and the Th1-stimulating chemokine CXCL10 or CCL5 showed a more than additive effect on LFA-1-mediated Th1 cell adhesion as well as on LFA-1 redistribution on the cell surface. Moreover, PSGL-1-mediated rolling on P-selectin enhanced the Th1 cell accumulation on ICAM-1 under flow conditions. PSGL-1 cross-linking induced activation of protein kinase C isoforms, and the increased Th1 cell adhesion observed under flow and also static conditions was strongly inhibited by calphostin C, implicating protein kinase C in the intracellular signaling in PSGL-1-mediated LFA-1 activation. These results support the idea that PSGL-1-mediated rolling interactions induce intracellular signals leading to integrin activation, facilitating Th1 cell arrest and subsequent migration into target tissues.
