We characterized the influence of phosphorylated sugars and cell surface sialic acids on the adherence of human polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) to rat alveolar type II cell (ATII cells) and human-derived A549 cell monolayers in vitro. Percent adherence of radiolabeled polymorphonuclear leukocytes was assessed after incubating cells with the carbohydrates, enzymes, or lectins to be tested. Lactose-1-phosphate (Lact1P) and maltose-1-phosphate (Malt1P) (10 mM) inhibited adherence of PMN to ATII cells and A549 cells. Maximal inhibition followed treatment of both PMN and rat ATII cells and amounted to 85 +/- 7% with Lact1P and 92 +/- 3% with Malt1P. Inhibition was concentration dependent. Incubation of PMN with mannose-6-phosphate reduced adherence to rat ATII cells and A549 cells by 36 +/- 11 and 39 +/- 8%, respectively. Maximal concentrations of sugars did not alter cellular viability. Neuraminidase-induced desialilation of ATII cells increased adherence of PMN by 36 +/- 7% to rat ATII cells and by 86 +/- 18% to A549 cells. Masking of terminal sialic acids on rat ATH cells with Limulus polyphemus agglutinin (100 micrograms/ml) increased adherence by 50 +/- 2%. These results indicate that cell surface carbohydrates are involved in the regulation of the adhesive interaction between PMN and ATII cells in vitro.
