Adhesion of malaria-infected red blood cells to chondroitin sulfate A under flow conditions

BM Cooke, SJ Rogerson, GV Brown and RL Coppel

Department of Microbiology, Monash University, Clayton, Victoria, Australia.

Adhesion of parasitized red blood cells (PRBCs) to microvascular endothelial cells (ECs) is a distinctive feature of Plasmodium falciparum malaria and is a central event in the development of life- threatening complications such as cerebral malaria. PRBCs adhere to several EC-expressed molecules in vitro, but the relative importance of these interactions in vivo remains unclear. Chondroitin sulfate A (CSA) is the most recent EC surface-associated molecule to be implicated in the adhesive process. Accordingly, we have studied adhesion of PRBCs to CSA in vitro using a parallel-plate flow chamber. Under controlled flow conditions, PRBCs adhered to CSA in a concentration-dependent manner at wall-shear stresses up to 0.2 Pa, a value that is within the physiological range for venules. Once adhered, PRBCs remained stationary (rather than rolling) and continued to remain stationary even when the wall-shear stress was raised to supravenular levels. The adhesive interaction was strong and a proportion of adherent PRBCs could withstand detachment at stresses up to 2.5 Pa. Soluble CSA at pharmacological concentrations prevented adhesion of flowing PRBCs in a concentration-dependent manner but failed to reverse established adhesion. Adhesion of PRBCs to CSA could contribute to the pathogenesis of malaria, and soluble CSA may have a useful therapeutic effect.
