Resumen

Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) enhances and primes monocyte functions, but its role in monocyte migration is poorly understood. We examined monocyte migration across human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) grown on filters. GM-CSF had no chemotactic or chemokinetic effect. However, GM-CSF enhanced monocyte transendothelial migration (TEM) through unstimulated and IL-1-activated (5 h) HUVEC in response to C5a or monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in a dose-dependent fashion, increasing the migration from 28.7 ± 5.3% to 41.8 ± 6.2% (n = 8, p < 0.05) and from 34.8 ± 6% to 50.3 ± 3.1%, p < 0.05), respectively. The enhanced TEM was inhibited by monoclonal antibodies (mAb) to LFA-1, but not by mAb to Mac-1 or to VLA-4. Furthermore, GM-CSF up-regulated and activated LFA-1, as assessed by NKI-L16 neoepitope expression. The results indicate that: (1) GM-CSF can prime monocytes for increased TEM, (2) GM-CSF enhances LFA-1-mediated monocyte TEM and (3) this effect is in part mediated by increasing LFA-1 expression and activation. Thus. increased GM-CSF production may promote monocyte accumulation in inflammation not only by inducing monocytosis, but also enhancing migration.
