AbstractThis study demonstrates that a long-lasting co-culture of neutrophil surrogates (HL-60 cells), minimally-primed by platelet activating factor (PAF), and resting endothelial cells (EC) results in the elaboration of an hyper-adhesive endothelial surface, as measured by the increase in the expression of endothelial adhesion molecules E-Selectin, VCAM-1, and ICAM-1. This endothelial dysfunction is mediated by the activation of the redox-sensitive transcription factor NF-B through an exclusive adhesion-driven mechanism active in the endothelial cell: reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, extracellularly-released by minimallyprimed HL-60 cells, are not involved in the induction of the endothelial dysfunction.By exploring for the first time the potential for minimally-primed neutrophil surrogates to induce endothelial dysfunction, this study suggests a novel mechanism which may be operative in pathologies, mediated by minimally-primed neutrophils, such as hyperdyslipidemia and cardiovascular complications.
