Tóm tắt

Based on the difference in the CD14 and CD16 expression, two subsets of monocytes were identified in human and other mammalian blood. These subsets have different patterns of adhesion molecules and chemokine receptors that suggests the different mode of their interaction with endothelium and tissue traffic. Here, we investigated the ability of CD14+CD16+ and CD14++CD16− monocytes to adhere to endothelial cell monolayer in presence or absence of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. We demonstrated that CD14+CD16+ monocytes had a higher level of adhesion to intact monolayer of endothelial cells than CD14++CD16− monocytes. Adhesion of CD14++CD16− and CD14+CD16+ monocytes significantly increased in the presence of TNFα or its combination with other cytokines. IFNγ and IL-4 alone did not affect the adhesion of monocytes. These results show that CD14++CD16− and CD14+CD16+ monocytes can be recruited to the inflamed endothelium, but CD14+CD16+ monocytes adhere to endothelial cells without inflammations twice as strongly as CD14++CD16− monocytes.
