To explore the initial steps by which transplanted MSCs
interact with the vessel wall in the course of
extravasation, we studied binding of human MSCs to
endothelial cells (ECs). In a parallel plate flow chamber,
MSCs bound to human umbilical vein ECs (HUVECs) similar to
peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) or
CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors at shear
stresses of up to 2 dynes/cm2. This involved
rapid extension of podia, rolling, and subsequent firm
adhesion which was increased when ECs were pre-stimulated
with TNF-alpha. MSC binding was suppressed when ECs were
pretreated with function-blocking anti-P-selectin
antibody, and rolling of MSCs was induced on immobilized
P-selectin, indicating that P-selectin was involved in
this process. Preincubation of HUVECs with anti-VCAM-1 or
of MSCs with anti-VLA-4 antibodies suppressed binding of
MSCs to HUVECs but did not enhance inhibition by
anti-P-selectin, indicating that both, P-selectin and
VCAM-1 are equally required for this process. Intravital
microscopy demonstrated the capacity of MSCs to roll and
adhere to post-capillary venules in vivo in a mouse model
in a P-selectin-dependent manner. Thus, MSCs interact in a
coordinated fashion with ECs under shear flow, engaging
P-selectin and VCAM-1/VLA-4.
