Abstract Previous work has shown that neutrophils isolated from whole blood adhere to cardiac myocytes via CD18 (ß2 integrin) to cause injury to the heart cells. In vitro, we have found that upon endothelial transmigration, neutrophils can also express {alpha}4ß1; however, whether this contributes to neutrophil adhesion to parenchymal cells remains entirely unknown. Unstimulated and tumor necrosis factor-{alpha}–stimulated rat cardiac myocytes adherent to gelatin-coated coverslips supported N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP)–induced neutrophil (isolated from whole blood) adhesion entirely via CD18 (blocked with monoclonal antibody [mAb] WT-3). Emigrated neutrophils spontaneously adhered to cardiac myocytes also entirely via CD18. However, if fMLP was used to restimulate emigrated neutrophils, the adhesion to cardiac myocytes was entirely independent of CD18. Although an anti–{alpha}4 integrin antibody (mAb TA-2) alone did not reduce the emigrated neutrophil-myocyte interaction, dual administration of TA-2 and WT-3 reduced adhesion by 81%. {alpha}4 integrin was expressed in small amounts on the surface of circulating neutrophils, increased following transmigration, and then increased >5-fold after restimulation of these emigrated neutrophils. In the presence of the anti-CD18 antibody, a fibronectin fragment (FN-40) but not a vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 antibody (mAb 5F10) inhibited neutrophil-myocyte interactions by 80%. Similar results were seen when the rat chemokine CINC-gro was used instead of fMLP, suggesting that the {alpha}4-dependent adhesion was not specific to fMLP. These data demonstrate that {alpha}4 integrin can be physiologically induced to increase in number and avidity after neutrophil emigration and that this adhesion molecule can cause firm adhesion to fibronectin on parenchymal cells, including rat cardiac myocytes.
