Abstract
Human monocytes adhere to activated platelets, resulting in the formation of platelet-monocyte complexes (PMC). Complex formation depends on the interaction between platelet-displayed P-selectin and the specific ligand for P-selectin on leukocytes, P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1). We have recently shown that monocytes within PMC have increased adhesive capacity to the activated endothelium. To better understand the effect of platelet binding on the capacity of monocytes to adhere to activated endothelium, the P-selectin-PSGL-1 interaction-induced changes in integrin functionality were studied. The binding of platelets to monocytes via P-selectin-PSGL-1 interactions was shown to increase expression and activity of α4β1 and αMβ2integrin, with a concomitant decrease in L-selectin expression. Furthermore, the binding of platelets to monocytes resulted in increased monocyte adhesion to intercellular adhesion molecule-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, and fibronectin. Platelet binding was also responsible for an increase in monocyte transendothelial migration. Similar effects were observed after engagement of PSGL-1 with specific antibodies or with P-selectin immunoglobulin protein. Our data suggest that platelets, by binding via P-selectin to PSGL-1 on monocytes, induce up-regulation and activation of β1 and β2integrins and increased adhesion of monocytes to activated endothelium. Hence, monocytes within PMC are in a higher state of activation and may have, therefore, an increased atherogenic capacity.Keywords
