HEMOSTASIS, THROMBOSIS, AND VASCULAR BIOLOGY

Cytolytically inactive terminal complement complex causes transendothelial migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes in vitro and in vivo

Aldo Dobrina, Mario Pausa, Fabio Fischetti, Roberta Bulla, Elena Vecile, Elisabetta Ferrero, Alberto Mantovani, and Francesco Tedesco

From the Dipartimento di Fisiologia e Patologia, the Dipartimento di Medicina Clinica e Neurologia, Università di Trieste, the IRCCS Burlo Garofolo, Trieste, Italy; the IRCCS H. San Raffaele, the Istituto di Patologia Generale, and the Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche Mario Negri, Milan, Italy.

Intravital microscopy was used to monitor leukocyte traffic across rat mesenteric postcapillary venules induced by the inactive terminal complement (C) complex (iTCC) topically applied to ileal mesentery. Leukocytes started rolling within 15 minutes from the administration of iTCC, and by 1 hour they adhered almost completely to the endothelium emigrating from the vessels in the next 3 hours. C5a caused a similar, though less marked, effect, whereas boiled iTCC was inactive, excluding the contribution of contaminating lipopolysaccharide. The complex stimulated the migration of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) across endothelial cells (ECs) in a transwell system after a 4-hour incubation of ECs with iTCC added to the lower chamber of the transwell, whereas a 30-minute incubation was sufficient for C5a and interleukin (IL)-8 to induce the passage of PMNs. C5a was not responsible for the effect of iTCC because this complex had no chemotactic activity and contained too small an amount of C5a to account for the transendothelial migration of PMNs. Similarly, the effect of iTCC was not mediated by IL-8 released by stimulated ECs because anti-IL-8 failed to inhibit the migration of PMNs induced by the complex. Unlike tumor necrosis factor-alpha , iTCC did not cause the redistribution of platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1), and PMN mobilization was partially blocked by anti-PECAM-1 antibodies.
