| abstractText | E-selectin binding to P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) can activate the beta(2) integrin lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 by signaling through spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk). This signaling is independent of G alpha(i)-protein-coupled receptors, results in slow rolling, and promotes neutrophil recruitment to sites of inflammation. However, the signaling pathways linking E-selectin engagement of PSGL-1 to Syk activation are unknown. To test the role of Src family kinases and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activating motif (ITAM)-containing adaptor proteins, we used different gene-deficient mice in flow chamber, intravital microscopy, and peritonitis studies. E-selectin-mediated phosphorylation of Syk and slow rolling was abolished in neutrophils from fgr(-/-) or hck(-/-) lyn(-/-) fgr(-/-) mice. Neutrophils from Tyrobp(-/-) Fcrg(-/-) mice lacking both DAP12 and FcRgamma were incapable of sustaining slow neutrophil rolling on E-selectin and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and were unable to phosphorylate Syk and p38 MAPK. This defect was confirmed in vivo by using mixed chimeric mice. G alpha(i)-independent neutrophil recruitment into the inflamed peritoneal cavity was sharply suppressed in Tyrobp(-/-) Fcrg(-/-) mice. Our data demonstrate that an ITAM-dependent pathway involving the Src-family kinase Fgr and the ITAM-containing adaptor proteins DAP12 and FcRgamma is involved in the initial signaling events downstream of PSGL-1 that are required to initiate neutrophil slow rolling. |
