Intravascular chemotactic factor activation of neutrophils (polymorphonuclear leukocytes; PMNLs), associated with actin polymerization resulting in PMNL stiffening, induces rapid and transient sequestration in the pulmonary vasculature and lung dysfunction. Recent studies have proposed that this sequestration is mediated by physical lodging of PMNLs because of loss of deformability. To examine the contribution of cell adhesion molecules in this process, we used blocking monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to rat selectins and integrins in a model of PMNL margination (reflected by acute blood neutropenia) induced by N-formyl-met-leu-phe (FMLP) chemotactic factor infusion in normal or lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-primed rats. Blood PMNL levels dropped by 70% within 1 minute and for the duration of FMLP infusion (20 minutes) in normal or by 90% in LPS-primed rats. Pretreatment with mAbs to ß2(WT.3), VLA-4(TA-2 F(ab)2), and VLA-5 (HM{alpha}5 F(ab)2) in combination inhibited the decrease by 50% and to a greater degree than ß2 blockade alone (35% inhibition). F(ab)2 mAbs to L-(HRL-3), P-(RMP-1), plus E-(RME-1) selectins had no effect but they potentiated inhibition by anti-ß2 + anti-VLA-4 + anti-VLA5 mAb treatment (69% inhibition, P < 0.05). Similar results were observed in the first 6 minutes in LPS-primed rats with complete inhibition of sequestration thereafter by combined selectin and integrin blockade. These results indicate that besides PMNL stiffening because of actin polymerization, both selectins and integrins substantially contribute to activated PMNL sequestration in the lung.
