Surfactant protein A (SP-A), a pulmonary lectin, plays an important role in regulating innate immune cell function. Besides accelerating pathogen clearance by pulmonary phagocytes, SP-A also stimulates alveolar macrophage chemotaxis and directed actin polymerization. We hypothesized that SP-A would also stimulate neutrophil chemotaxis. With the use of a Boyden chamber assay, we found that SP-A (0.5-25 µg/ml) did not stimulate chemotaxis of rat peripheral neutrophils or inflammatory bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) neutrophils isolated from LPS-treated lungs. However, SP-A affected neutrophil chemotaxis toward the bacterial peptide formyl-met-leu-phe (fMLP). Surprisingly, the effect was different for the two neutrophil populations: SP-A reduced peripheral neutrophil chemotaxis toward fMLP (49 ± 5% fMLP alone) and enhanced inflammatory BAL neutrophil chemotaxis (277 ± 48% fMLP alone). This differential effect was not seen for the homologous proteins mannose binding lectin and complement protein 1q but was recapitulated by type IV collagen. SP-A bound both neutrophil populations comparably and did not alter formyl peptide binding. These data support a role for SP-A in regulating neutrophil migration in pulmonary tissue.
