[LFA-1 and VLA-4 involved in vasoendothelial adhesion and transendothelial migration of human high proliferative potential endothelial progenitor cells].
To investigate whether lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1) and very late antigen 4 (VLA-4) are involved in vasoendothelial adhesion and transendothelial migration of high proliferative potential endothelial progenitor cells (HPP-EPCs), flow cytometry was used to analyze the expression of integrin beta1 and beta2, the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM-1, 2) and vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM-1) in mouse bone marrow endothelial cells (mBMECs). The adhesion and transmigration through endothelial cells of the HPP-EPCs blocked by functional grade neutralizing antibodies of VLA-4 and LFA-1 were studied in vitro. The results revealed that HPP-EPCs were positive for CD11a and CD49d in HPP-EPCs. The expression of ICAM-1and VCAM-1 of mBMECs increased after activated by IL-1beta and TNF-alpha. The results of adhesion in vitro revealed that the numbers of the adhered and migrated cells in the CD11a antibody group, in the CD49d antibody group and in the combinational antibody group were less than those in the isotype control antibody group. Furthermore, the number of adhered and migrated cells in the combinational antibody group was less than that in the CD11a or the CD49d antibody group (p < 0.05). It is concluded that both LFA-1 and VLA-4 are involved in vasoendothelial adhesion and transendothelial migration of HPP-EPCs.
