DIAPEDESISDIAPEDESIS
(Transmigration)(Transmigration)
Migration of Leukocytes through
the interendothelial gaps
May-2015-CSBRP
DiapedesisDiapedesis
• It occurs mostly thru post capillary venules
• Chemokines stimulate the PMNs to
emigrate into interstitium
• PMNs leave the vessel thru inter
endothelial gaps
• In the interstitium they travel towards the
site of injury
May-2015-CSBRP
Adhesion molecules (AM) involved
in diapedesis
• AM present in between the endothelial
cells and in the interstitium facilitate this
process
• These include:
• PECAM-1 or CD31
• Several junctional AMs
May-2015-CSBRP
DiapedesisDiapedesis
• Must then cross basement membrane
– Collagenases
• PMNs secrete collagenases to dissolve
basement membrane
• Then they reach the site of injury by
Chemotaxis
May-2015-CSBRP
Summary of DIAPEDESIS
Insertion of pseudopodia
which widens the intercellular gaps
Passage through the gaps
by ameboid movement
Passage through the basement membrane
either by mechanical disruption or possibly by
enzyme (collagenase) effect

Chemotaxis of LeukocytesChemotaxis of Leukocytes
May-2015-CSBRP
Chemotaxis
In the intestitium leucocytes reach the site of
injury by traveling along the concentration
gradient created by the chemokines -
Chemotaxis
May-2015-CSBRP
Chemotaxis
Def: Chemotaxis is a process by which the
leucocytes travel towards and along the
chemical concentration gradient
Concentration gradient is created by
chemokines
Highest concentration occurs at the center of
injury
May-2015-CSBRP
This is a diagram showing the effect of chemokine concentration
gradient on chemotaxis direction. The attracted cell moves through
the gradient toward the higher concentration of chemokine.

Neutrophil
Bacteria
Chemotaxis
• Leukocytes follow chemical gradient to the site
of injury
• Chemotactic agents: include
– Soluble bacterial products
– Complement components (C5a)
– Cytokines (chemokine family e.g., IL-8)
– LTB4 (AA metabolite)
• Chemotactic agents bind surface receptors
inducing calcium mobilization and assembly of
cytoskeletal contractile elements
May-2015-CSBRP
May-2015-CSBRP
Chemotactic substances will bind to
leukocyte receptors, initiating a stimulus –
receptor interaction that leads to activation
of intracellular contractile proteins
May-2015-CSBRP
Leukocytes:
–Extend pseudopods with overlying
surface adhesion molecules (integrins)
that bind ECM during chemotaxis
–Leucocytes walk towards the injury
May-2015-CSBRP
Chemotaxis
May-2015-CSBRP
When they reach the site…
• PMNs able to adhere to the intercellular
matrix by binding of integrins to CD44
• By this mechanism they are retained at
the site where they are needed most
May-2015-CSBRP
Details of Leukocyte Chemotaxis:
Neutrophil adheres via integrin binding
Integrin binds to FN in ECM
Actually recognizes RGD sequence (arg-gly-asp) in FN (not shown in figure)
RGD is also found in other ECM proteins
Integrin is recycled

PHAGOCYTOSISPHAGOCYTOSIS
Phagocytic cells are two types:
1.Microphages (neutrophils) or
2.Macrophages (monocytes / histiocytes)
May-2015-CSBRP
PHAGOCYTOSISPHAGOCYTOSIS
The process of phagocytosis involves:
1. Adhesion – Immobilizes the particles
2. Engulfment by extending pseudopodia
3. Fusion - Phagolysosome formation of the lysosomes
with the phagocytic vacuole
4. Degradation / Intracellular microbial killing

May-2015-CSBRP
ActivationActivation
• When the leucocytes gets stimulated by
the cytokines, they get activated
• With activation:
– AM are modulated / potentiated
– Chemotaxis is potentiated
– Elaborate AA metabolites
– Secretion / Degranulation

Acute Phase Proteins
During an inflammatory response a
number of interleukins(IL) are produced
IL-6 stimulates the hepatic production of
a number of proteins ,called acute phase
proteins
May-2015-CSBRP
Acute Phase Proteins
Fibrinogen
C-Reactive Protein (CRP)

C4
Ceruloplasmin
May-2015-CSBRP
Acute Phase Proteins
Acute Phase Proteins are normally found
in the blood at low concentrations, but
following hepatic stimulation by IL-6
their concentration increases
Detection of elevated levels of acute
phase proteins is an indication of an
inflammatory response

Inflammatory Paracrines
• What causes the characteristic sequence of events in acute inflammation? Various
cells at the site of tissue damage or of a specific immune response release regulatory
molecules that act locally as paracrines.
• Macrophages and lymphocytes are important sources of inflammatory paracrines. As
we have discussed, macrophages release IL-1 and TNF-alpha, which have powerful,
widespread effects.
• Also important are mast cells, which are found throughout the body, especially under
epithelia. Mast cells are filled with large vesicles containing histamine and other
inflammatory paracrines (They also release PG D2, several LTs and TNF-alpha,
described below). Factors associated with tissue damage can trigger the exocytosis.
But sometimes it is a specific immune response that triggers the release of the
inflammatory paracrines.
• Also, various arachidonic acid derivatives are important. Both prostaglandins
(notably PG D2) and leukotrienes (LT) can be important, depending on the tissue.
Note the effectiveness of aspirin and various NSAIDs in quieting inflammation.
• Complement peptides, C3a and C5a
• Various other molecules including nitric oxide, certain platelet products, kinins, and
certain other substances we will not discuss (serotonin, etc)
May-2015-CSBRP
What types of molecules trigger
inflammation?
• Inflammatory paracrines
May-2015-CSBRP
Name some cells that release the
paracrine molecules.
• Mast cells
• Macrophages
• Almost every cell can release AA
derivatives
May-2015-CSBRP
What is complement C5a?
When the complement system is activated,
a small peptide C5a is cleaved from the
protein C5. C5a readily diffuses, causing
chemotaxis and inflammation in general
May-2015-CSBRP
What change caused by inflammatory
paracrines results in edema in the affected
area?
Increased capillary permeability
May-2015-CSBRP
Suppose tissue damage triggers the release of a
prostaglandin that causes inflammation in the
area. What specific molecule does the tissue
damage activate that starts the synthesis of the
prostaglandin?
Phospholipase A2
Other enzymes, including COX, then
convert the arachidonic acid to the
prostaglandin

Ligands
• In biochemistry and pharmacology, a ligand (Latin ligare = to bind) is a
substance that is able to bind to and form a complex with a biomolecule to
serve a biological purpose.
• In a narrower sense, it is a signal triggering molecule, binding to a site on a
target protein.
• The binding occurs by intermolecular forces, such as ionic bonds, hydrogen
bonds and Van der Waals forces. The docking (association) is usually
reversible (dissociation). Actual irreversible covalent binding between a
ligand and its target molecule is rare in biological systems. In contrast to the
meaning in metalorganic and inorganic chemistry, it is irrelevant whether the
ligand actually binds at a metal site, as it is the case in hemoglobin.
• Ligand binding to a receptor alters the chemical conformation, that is the
three dimensional shape of the receptor protein. The conformational state of
a receptor protein determines the functional state of a receptor. Ligands
include substrates, inhibitors, activators, and neurotransmitters. The
tendency or strength of binding is called affinity.
• Radioligands are radioisotope labeled compounds and used in vivo as
tracers in PET studies and for in vitro .

  • 60. Inflammatory Paracrines • What causes the characteristic sequence of events in acute inflammation? Various cells at the site of tissue damage or of a specific immune response release regulatory molecules that act locally as paracrines. • Macrophages and lymphocytes are important sources of inflammatory paracrines. As we have discussed, macrophages release IL-1 and TNF-alpha, which have powerful, widespread effects. • Also important are mast cells, which are found throughout the body, especially under epithelia. Mast cells are filled with large vesicles containing histamine and other inflammatory paracrines (They also release PG D2, several LTs and TNF-alpha, described below). Factors associated with tissue damage can trigger the exocytosis. But sometimes it is a specific immune response that triggers the release of the inflammatory paracrines. • Also, various arachidonic acid derivatives are important. Both prostaglandins (notably PG D2) and leukotrienes (LT) can be important, depending on the tissue. Note the effectiveness of aspirin and various NSAIDs in quieting inflammation. • Complement peptides, C3a and C5a • Various other molecules including nitric oxide, certain platelet products, kinins, and certain other substances we will not discuss (serotonin, etc) May-2015-CSBRP

  • 62. Name some cells that release the paracrine molecules. • Mast cells • Macrophages • Almost every cell can release AA derivatives May-2015-CSBRP
  • 63. What is complement C5a? When the complement system is activated, a small peptide C5a is cleaved from the protein C5. C5a readily diffuses, causing chemotaxis and inflammation in general May-2015-CSBRP
  • 64. What change caused by inflammatory paracrines results in edema in the affected area? Increased capillary permeability May-2015-CSBRP
  • 65. Suppose tissue damage triggers the release of a prostaglandin that causes inflammation in the area. What specific molecule does the tissue damage activate that starts the synthesis of the prostaglandin? Phospholipase A2 Other enzymes, including COX, then convert the arachidonic acid to the prostaglandin May-2015-CSBRP

  • 72. Ligands • In biochemistry and pharmacology, a ligand (Latin ligare = to bind) is a substance that is able to bind to and form a complex with a biomolecule to serve a biological purpose. • In a narrower sense, it is a signal triggering molecule, binding to a site on a target protein. • The binding occurs by intermolecular forces, such as ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds and Van der Waals forces. The docking (association) is usually reversible (dissociation). Actual irreversible covalent binding between a ligand and its target molecule is rare in biological systems. In contrast to the meaning in metalorganic and inorganic chemistry, it is irrelevant whether the ligand actually binds at a metal site, as it is the case in hemoglobin. • Ligand binding to a receptor alters the chemical conformation, that is the three dimensional shape of the receptor protein. The conformational state of a receptor protein determines the functional state of a receptor. Ligands include substrates, inhibitors, activators, and neurotransmitters. The tendency or strength of binding is called affinity. • Radioligands are radioisotope labeled compounds and used in vivo as tracers in PET studies and for in vitro . May-2015-CSBRP

  15. Introduction to Chemokine Families and the Cells They Affect : Chemokines (Greek -kinos, movement) are a family of small cytokines, or proteins secreted by cells. Their name is derived from their ability to induce directed chemotaxis in nearby responsive cells; they are chemotactic cytokines. Proteins are classified as chemokines according to shared structural characteristics such as small size (they are all approximately 8-10 kilodaltons in size), and the presence of four cysteine residues in conserved locations that are key to forming their 3-dimensional shape. However, these proteins have historically been known under several other names including the SIS family of cytokines, SIG family of cytokines, SCY family of cytokines, Platelet factor-4 superfamily or intercrines. Some chemokines are considered pro-inflammatory and can be induced during an immune response to promote cells of the immune system to a site of infection, while others are considered homeostatic and are involved in controlling the migration of cells during normal processes of tissue maintenance or development. Chemokines are found in all vertebrates, some viruses and some bacteria, but none have been described for other invertebrates. These proteins exert their biological effects by interacting with G protein-linked transmembrane receptors called chemokine receptors, that are selectively found on the surfaces of their target cells.
  16. In biochemistry and pharmacology, a ligand (Latin ligare = to bind) is a substance that is able to bind to and form a complex with a biomolecule to serve a biological purpose. In a narrower sense, it is a signal triggering molecule, binding to a site on a target protein. The binding occurs by intermolecular forces, such as ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds and Van der Waals forces. The docking (association) is usually reversible (dissociation). Actual irreversible covalent binding between a ligand and its target molecule is rare in biological systems.
