    For ( a , c ), human CD4 + T cell subgroups were isolated by FACS from the blood of healthy donors as in Supplementary Fig. and Fig. . a CCR6 +(high) CCR2 + cells were either left untreated (marked with a minus sign) or treated with CCL2 (100 ng/ml) just before and for four min after adding the cells to the flow chambers, and CCL2-treated cells were used without (marked with a minus sign) or with treatment with the CCR2 antagonist, BMS22. Data points in the left panel show numbers of cells rolling, arrested, and transmigrated, while the middle panel shows arrested cells as percentages of cells rolling and the right panel shows transmigrated cells as percentages of cells arresting. Each symbol shows data from one donor, with n = 4 individual donors in four separate experiments using CCL2. Two of these experiments included the additional treatment with BMS22. b Above is the CCL2-CXCL9 chimera sequence with signal peptide sequence shown in green, CCL2-sequence in black, and C-terminal GAG-binding sequence of CXCL9 in red.

    Cytokine-activated endothelial cells upregulate expression of selectins and integrin ligands and secrete chemokines. Selectin-selectin ligand interactions help capture cells and allow them to roll along the endothelium. For pathogenic-like type 17 cells, endothelial cell-bound chemokines can then stimulate CCR6, CCR5, and CXCR3 to activate integrins for binding to intercellular adhesion molecules and mediate firm arrest. Secreted chemokines that fail to adhere to endothelial cells, such as CCL2 and other CCR2 ligands, are removed by blood flow to create a transendothelial gradient that drives TEM. Although for the sake of clarity the T cell depicted here co-expresses the four chemokine receptors, not all CCR6 +(high) CCR2 + CD4 + T cells express CCR5 and/or CXCR3.

    Treating monocytes with Wnt-3a induces cell migration and <t>CCL2</t> production. Naïve monocytes were plated in the top chamber of a transwell and exposed to different conditioned media (CM). Cells that crossed the transwell were collected from the bottom well and counted by flow cytometry. A Schematic illustration of experimental design. Naïve monocytes were exposed to Wnt-3a/control CM obtained from L-cells for 2 h (I). Naïve monocytes were exposed to Wnt-3a/control CM obtained from monocytes treated with Wnt-3a/control for 8 h (II). Treated monocytes (as in II) were washed and transferred to fresh RPMI medium for an additional 1 h. CM was collected and used to treat naïve monocytes in the transwell assay (III). B Flow cytometry counts of cells crossing the transwell. * P -value = 0.0307, *** P -value = 0.0003 and ** P -value = 0.0045 for paired t-tests. Y-axis represents the absolute cell count. C ELISA assays of CCL2 concentration in media used for the indicated experiments. Protein concentrations were calculated by regression from a standard curve. D Flow cytometry counts of cells crossing the transwell. Y-axis represents the absolute cell count. X-axis represents the media used as in I and II of the experimental design, with or without 2 μg/ml CCL2 inhibitor, marked as circles and squares, respectively. The white and black shapes represent each donor. FC – average fold change of the marked pairs. E A representative blot of media collected from the top and bottom chambers of the different experiments (as indicated), at the end of the transwell incubation period. Media were centrifuged to remove cells and analyzed by western blot using a specific anti-Wnt-3a antibody. C – control/control-treated media, W3 – Wnt-3a/Wnt-3a-treated media

    Cytokine-activated endothelial cells upregulate expression of selectins and integrin ligands and secrete chemokines. Selectin-selectin ligand interactions help capture cells and allow them to roll along the endothelium. For pathogenic-like type 17 cells, endothelial cell-bound chemokines can then stimulate CCR6, CCR5, and CXCR3 to activate integrins for binding to intercellular adhesion molecules and mediate firm arrest. Secreted chemokines that fail to adhere to endothelial cells, such as CCL2 and other CCR2 ligands, are removed by blood flow to create a transendothelial gradient that drives TEM. Although for the sake of clarity the T cell depicted here co-expresses the four chemokine receptors, not all CCR6 +(high) CCR2 + CD4 + T cells express CCR5 and/or CXCR3.

    Inflamed endothelial cells upregulate expression of selectins and integrin ligands and secrete various chemokines. Selectin-selectin ligand interactions help capture cells and allow them to roll along the endothelium. For pathogenic Th17 cells, endothelial cell-bound chemokines can then stimulate CCR6, CCR5 and CXCR3 to activate integrins for binding to intercellular adhesion molecules and mediate firm arrest. Secreted chemokines that fail to adhere to endothelial cells, such as CCL2 and other CCR2 ligands, are diluted by blood flow to create a transendothelial gradient that induces TEM.
