This study examined the adhesive interaction of peripheral blood monocytes with VCAM-1 and analyzed the effect of P-selectin binding to monocytes on the adhesive interaction with VCAM-1 under flow conditions. P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 is expressed on most monocytes. Furthermore, most monocytes bind soluble P-selectin derived from platelets. P-selectin binding to monocytes did not alter the amount of expression of alpha4 integrin on monocytes. However, the mean channel fluorescence value for binding Cy2-conjugated soluble VCAM-1 to P-selectin-bound monocytes was slightly more than that for binding Cy2-conjugated soluble VCAM-1 to untreated monocytes. Under flow conditions, the number of P-selectin-bound monocytes bound to VCAM-1 was much higher than that of untreated monocytes bound to VCAM-1. These bindings were abolished by pretreatment of untreated monocytes and P-selectin-bound monocytes with anti-VCAM-1 mAb or anti-alpha4 integrin mAb. Furthermore, P-selectin binding to monocytes increased shear resistance and thus increased the adhesive strength of monocytes to VCAM-1. These findings indicate that P-selectin binding to monocytes enhances the adhesive interaction of monocytes with VCAM-1. It is suggested that P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1/P-selectin interaction and alpha4 integrin/VCAM-1 interaction can act sequentially in the adhesion cascade that regulates monocyte trafficking to inflammatory and atherosclerotic lesion.
