Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Lymphocyte CD44 interactions with hyaluronan localized on the endothelium have been demonstrated to mediate rolling and regulate lymphocyte entry into sites of chronic inflammation. Because neutrophils also express CD44, we investigated the role of CD44 and hyaluronan in the multistep process of neutrophil recruitment. CD44(-/-) and wild-type control mice were intrascrotally injected with the neutrophil-activating chemokine, MIP-2, and leukocyte kinetics in the cremasteric microcirculation were investigated 4 h subsequently using intravital microscopy. Neither the rolling flux nor the rolling velocities were decreased in CD44(-/-) mice relative to wild-type mice. In vitro, neutrophils did not roll on the CD44 ligand hyaluronan, consistent with the in vivo data that CD44/hyaluronan did not mediate rolling. However, the number of adherent leukocytes in the venule was decreased by 65% in CD44(-/-) mice compared with wild-type mice. Leukocyte emigration was also greatly decreased in the CD44(-/-) mice. The same decrease in adhesion and emigration was observed in the wild-type mice given hyaluronidase. Histology revealed neutrophils as being the dominant infiltrating population. We generated chimeric mice that express CD44 either on their leukocytes or on their endothelium and found that CD44 on both the endothelium and neutrophils was important for optimal leukocyte recruitment into tissues. Of those neutrophils that emigrated in wild-type and CD44(-/-) mice, there was no impairment in migration through the interstitium. This study suggests that CD44 can mediate some neutrophil adhesion and emigration, but does not appear to affect subsequent migration within tissues. |
