During inflammation leukocyte attachment to the blood vessel wall is augmented by capture of near-wall flowing leukocytes by previously adherent leukocytes. Adhesive interactions between flowing and adherent leukocytes are mediated by L-selectin and P-selectin Glycoprotein Ligand-1 (PSGL-1) co-expressed on the leukocyte surface and ultimately regulated by hydrodynamic shear thresholding.
Objective:
We hypothesized that leukocyte deformability is a significant contributory factor in shear thresholding and secondary capture.
Methods:
Cytochalasin D (CD) was used to increase neutrophil deformability and fixation was used to reduce deformability. Neutrophil rolling on PSGL-1 coated planar surfaces and collisions with PSGL-1 coated microbeads were analyzed using high-speed videomicroscopy (250 fps).
Results:
Increased deformability led to an increase in neutrophil rolling flux on PSGL-1 surfaces while fixation led to a decrease in rolling flux. Abrupt drops in flow below the shear threshold resulted in extended release times from the substrate for CD-treated neutrophils, suggesting increased bond number. In a cell-microbead collision assay lower flow rates were correlated with briefer adhesion lifetimes and smaller adhesive contact patches.
Conclusions:
Leukocyte deformation may control selectin bond number at the flow rates associated with hydrodynamic shear thresholding. Model analysis supported a requirement for both L-selectin catch-slip bond properties and multiple bond formation for shear thresholding.
