title: Lipoteichoic acid-induced neutrophil adhesion via E-selectin to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).
abstract: We investigated whether lipoteichoic acid (LTA) induces the expression of E-selectin and neutrophil adhesion to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). LTA (0.01-30 micrograms/ml) induced the expression of E-selectin in a concentration-dependent manner with maximal response at 10 micrograms/ml. The expression level of E-selectin increased from 2 h after stimulation by LTA with the maximal level at 4-8 h. Neutrophil adhesion to LTA-treated HUVECs correlated with the levels of E-selectin expression. In addition, the adhesion was clearly inhibited by anti-human E-selectin monoclonal antibody CY-1787 as well as a sialyl Lewis X (SLeX) oligosaccharide. LTA-induced expression of E-selectin was inhibited by protein kinase C inhibitors, H-7 and staurosporine. These results indicate that LTA induced the expression of E-selectin and neutrophils adhered to HUVECs via E-selectin.
