a. Margination 1. MARGINATION = local blood flow slows down → PMNs move to the outer limits of the vascular wall, towards the margin of the vessel 2. ROLLING = PMNs stick to ADHESINS expressed on vascular endothelium + slowly roll over inner surface of vessel • Injury/infection induces release of various CHEMICAL MEDIATORS + CYTOKINES ⇒ induces genetic up-regulation of P-SELECTIN + E-SELECTIN on PMNs + the complementary SIALYL LIGANDS on endothelial plasma membranes (including LEUKOCYTE (L) SELECTIN) P-selectin (sialyl-Lewis protein) Rolling E-selectin (sialyl-Lewis protein) Rolling, adhesion GlyCam-1 or CD34 (L-selectin) Rolling 3. PAVEMENTING = PMNs coat the inner vessel lining • Mediated by expression of VASCULAR CELL ADHESION MOLECULE (VCAM1) + INTERCELLUALR ADHESION MOLECULE (ICAM-1) on the vessel lining + binding of LEUKOCYE INTEGRINS (VLA4) + LEUKOCYTE FACTOR of ACTIVATION (LFA-1) respectively ICAM-1 (CD11/CD18 integrins) Adhesion, arrest, transmigration VCAM-1 (VLS04 integrin) 4. EMIGRATION - PMNs migrate across the vessel wall through both the endothelium and basement membrane • Occurs at the sites of intercellular junctions of the endothelial cells, which are loosened in the inflammatory process • NOTE: Physiologically, vessels do not allow efflux of leukocytes. • The events that regulate emigration are related to chemical mediators released when tissues are injured physically or by infectious agents. • Thus only during injurious processes are white cells able to traverse the endothelial barrier and enter the connective tissues as an inflammatory cell infiltrate. • NOTE: Emigration occurs not only with PMNs but also with eosinophils, basophils and monocytes. • The movement through the vascular wall is ameboid. • Erythrocytes may passively follow the white cell migration. • DIAPEDESIS = movement through vessels by blood cells o 5. Once cells emigrate, they are attracted to sites of infection or injury by chemokines and other related chemotactic molecules. • SUMMARY: o SELECTINS = proteins on pletelets, endothelium, and leukocytes ⇒ mediates the ROLLING ACTION of leukocytes o INTEGRINS = proteins on surface of leukocytes ⇒ help leukocytes ADHERE to endothelium
