Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Vitronectin is present in large concentrations in serum and the extracellular matrix. While vitronectin is known to modulate neutrophil adhesion and chemotaxis, and to contribute to neutrophil associated proinflammatory processes, a role in apoptosis has not been demonstrated. In the present studies, we found that neutrophils demonstrated more rapid progression to spontaneous or TRAIL induced apoptosis when incubated under vitronectin free conditions than when vitronectin was present. The ability of native vitronectin to delay neutrophil apoptosis was not recapitulated by the vitronectin somatomedin B (SMB) domain. In contrast, inclusion of the RGDfv peptide in cultures containing vitronectin resulted in enhanced neutrophil apoptosis, showing that the vitronectin RGD domain was responsible for the anti-apoptotic effects of vitronectin. Addition of antibodies to β(1), β(3), or β(5), but not to β(2) or β(4) integrins, reversed the ability of vitronectin to diminish neutrophil apoptosis. The ability of vitronectin to enhance neutrophil viability was dependent on activation of PI3-K and Erk1/2 kinases, but not on the p38 kinase. Increased numbers of apoptotic neutrophils were present in the lungs of LPS treated transgenic vitronectin deficient (vtn(-/-)) mice, as compared to control vtn(+/+) mice. These results demonstrate a novel anti-apoptotic function for vitronectin.
