Microvascular endothelial cells (EC) have multiple functions in inflammatory responses, including the production of chemoattractants that enhance leukocyte transmigration into tissues. Chemotactic protein, 10 kD (CP-10), is an S100 protein with potent chemotactic activity for myeloid cells in vitro and in vivo and is expressed in neutrophils and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated macrophages. We show here that CP-10 is induced in murine endothelioma cell lines (bEnd-3, sEnd-1, and tEnd-1) after activation with LPS and interleukin-1 (IL-1) but not tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) or interferon gamma (IFNgamma). Induction was not mediated by endogenous release of IL-1 or TNFalpha and was not directly upregulated by phorbol myristate acetate, calcium ionophore, or vitamin D3. EC were exquisitely sensitive to IL-1 activation (3.4 U/mL) and CP-10 mRNA induction with IL-1 occurred earlier (8 hours) than with LPS (12 hours). Furthermore, some microvessels and capillaries in delayed-type hypersensitivity lesions expressed cytoplasmic CP-10. Responses to LPS and not IL-1 in vitro were regulated by the degree of cell confluence and by TNFalpha costimulation. The related MRP-14 mRNA had a different induction pattern. Monomeric and homodimeric CP-10 upregulated by activation was predominantly cell-associated. EC-derived CP-10 may contribute to amplification of inflammatory processes by enhancing leukocyte shape changes and transmigration in the microcirculation.
