Lymph Node - Lymphocyte Migration at High Endothelial Venule Model
Chemokines and chemokine-binding molecules expressed in and around high endothelial venules (HEVs) in a concentric manner might function coordinately in lymphocyte trafficking across HEVs.
Original authors[1] propose that several chemokine-binding molecules are expressed in a concentric manner in HEVs and their surrounds. The coordinated actions of chemokines and chemokine-binding molecules in and around HEVs are shown in the above cartoon in sequential order.
- a - In the lumen of HEVs
- heparan sulphate proteoglycans (red) can capture and present a lymphoid chemokine (X, green) in situ.
- Duffy antigen receptor for chemokines (DARC; black) — a non-signalling chemokine receptor — captures and scavenges inflammatory chemokines, such as CXC-chemokine ligand 1 (CXCL1; pink), which is constitutively produced by HEVs.
- b - In the basal lamina of HEVs
- another chemokine-binding protein MAC25 (dark blue) can capture a chemokine, such as CC-chemokine ligand 21 (CCL21), CXCL10 or CCL5 (Y, light blue).
- In addition, other components in the basal lamina such as collagen and fibronectin (grey) can capture a different chemokine (Z, yellow) expressed in the HEV area.
- c - Lymphocytes rolling along the HEV endothelium
- recognize chemokine X presented in the lumen
- signalled to activate their integrins and firmly adhere to HEVs.
- d - Some adhering lymphocytes
- migrate across HEVs and are stimulated by chemokine Y, which is immobilized on MAC25.
- e - Farther outside
- other chemokine-binding molecules, such as collagen IV and fibronectin, can capture a different chemokine (Z).
- Some of the extravasating lymphocytes might interact with chemokine Z and be stimulated to move into this area.
- f - By sequentially recognizing the multiple chemokines presented on the tissue matrix
- more and more lymphocytes extravasate and progressively move from the inside to the outside of HEVs.
