Leukocyte adhesion under flow in the microvasculature is mediated
by binding between cell surface receptors and complementary ligands
expressed on the surface of the endothelium. Leukocytes adhere to
endothelium in a two-step mechanism: rolling (primarily mediated by
selectins) followed by firm adhesion (primarily mediated by integrins).
Using a computational method called "Adhesive Dynamics," we have
simulated the adhesion of a cell to a surface in flow, and elucidated
the relationship between receptor-ligand functional properties and the
dynamics of adhesion. We express this relationship in a state diagram,
a one-to-one map between the biophysical properties of adhesion
molecules and various adhesive behaviors. Behaviors that are observed
in simulations include firm adhesion, transient adhesion (rolling), and
no adhesion. We varied the dissociative properties, association rate,
bond elasticity, and shear rate and found that the unstressed
dissociation rate, kro, and the bond
interaction length,

, are the most important molecular properties
controlling the dynamics of adhesion. Experimental kro and
values from the literature
for molecules that are known to mediate rolling adhesion fall within
the rolling region of the state diagram. We explain why
L-selectin-mediated rolling, which has faster
kro than other selectins, is accompanied
by a smaller value for
. We also show how changes in association
rate, shear rate, and bond elasticity alter the dynamics of adhesion.
The state diagram (which must be mapped for each receptor-ligand
system) presents a concise and comprehensive means of understanding the
relationship between bond functional properties and the dynamics of
adhesion mediated by receptor-ligand bonds.
