P-selectin (CD62, GMP-140, PADGEM), a Ca(2+)-dependent lectin on activated platelets and endothelium, functions as a receptor for myeloid cells by interacting with sialylated, fucosylated lactosaminoglycans. P-selectin binds to a limited number of protease-sensitive sites on myeloid cells, but the protein(s) that carry the glycans recognized by P-selectin are unknown. Blotting of neutrophil or HL-60 cell membrane extracts with [125I]P-selectin and affinity chromatography of [3H]glucosamine-labeled HL-60 cell extracts were used to identify P-selectin ligands. A major ligand was identified with an approximately 250,000 M(r) under nonreducing conditions and approximately 120,000 under reducing conditions. Binding of P-selectin to the ligand was Ca2+ dependent and was blocked by mAbs to P-selectin. Brief sialidase digestion of the ligand increased its apparent molecular weight; however, prolonged digestion abolished binding of P-selectin. Peptide:N-glycosidase F treatment reduced the apparent molecular weight of the ligand by approximately 3,000 but did not affect P-selectin binding. Western blot and immunodepletion experiments indicated that the ligand was not lamp-1, lamp-2, or L-selectin, which carry sialyl Le(x), nor was it leukosialin, a heavily sialylated glycoprotein of similar molecular weight. The preferential interaction of the ligand with P-selectin suggests that it may play a role in adhesion of myeloid cells to activated platelets and endothelial cells.

P-selectin (CD62) is a Ca(2+)-dependent lectin expressed on activated platelets and endothelium. Although P-selectin is known to function as a receptor for myeloid cells, previous studies indicated that P-selectin also bound to a subset of lymphocytes. Using a multi-color immunofluorescence assay we found that purified P-selectin bound to 12.2 +/- 4.1% of peripheral blood lymphocytes and that P-selectin could mediate adhesion of activated platelets to lymphocytes. A subpopulation of CD4+, CD8+, and CD16+ lymphocytes bound P-selectin. There was a marked preference for P-selectin binding to memory cells (CD45RO+) in both the CD4+ and CD8+ populations. Binding to all cell types was Ca(2+)-dependent and blocked by pretreatment of the cells with sialidase. These data suggest that P-selectin may play a role in the recruitment of specific lymphocyte populations to sites of inflammation.

L-Selectin is a lectin-like receptor on lymphocytes which mediates their attachment to high endothelial venules (HEV) within lymph nodes. Previous work has identified HEV-associated endothelial ligands for L-selectin as sialylated, fucosylated and sulphated glycoproteins of approximately 50 kDa and approximately 90 kDa (Sgp50 and Sgp90). The interaction of L-selectin with these ligands is carbohydrate directed, reflecting the involvement of its amino-terminal, calcium-type lectin domain. It has been reported, and we have confirmed, that anti-Ly22 blocks the adhesive function of L-selectin without reducing its binding to a carbohydrate- based ligand PPME (phosphomannan monoester core from Hansenula hostii). The epitope for this monoclonal antibody depends on the epidermal growth factor (EGF) domain of L-selectin. We demonstrate that anti-Ly22 inhibits the interaction of L-selectin with both of the Sgps, thus establishing that the interaction of L-selectin with HEV can be accounted for by the Sgps. Furthermore, the interaction of trypsin fragments of Sgp50 with L-selectin is inhibitable both by an antibody that maps to the lectin domain and by anti-Ly22. These findings raise the possibility that anti-Ly22 is affecting the function of the lectin domain of L-selectin rather than directly antagonizing the EGF domain. Toward a further characterization of L-selectin's carbohydrate specificity, we show that Sgp50 is partially inactivated by the linkage-specific Newcastle Disease virus sialidase (alpha 2,3 linkage). We additionally demonstrate that a sialyl Lewis x-related tetrasaccharide can interact with L-selectin, as has also been demonstrated for E-selectin and P-selectin.

Heat-stable antigen (HSA)/CD24 is a cell surface molecule expressed by many cell types in the mouse. The molecule has an unusual structure because of its small protein core and extensive glycosylation. In order to study the functional role of the HSA-associated glycoconjugates we have isolated different forms of HSA. Using lectin analysis we provide evidence for extensive heterogeneity in carbohydrate composition and sialic acid linkage. Several HSA forms were recognized by mouse P-selectin-IgG but not E-selectin-IgG in ELISA. As expected, P-selectin-IgG also bound to L2/HNK-1-positive neural glycoproteins (L2-glycoproteins) and sulfatides but not to gangliosides and other control glycoproteins. The binding of P-selectin-IgG to L2-glycoproteins and HSA required bivalent cations. The reactivity to HSA was sensitive to sialidase treatment whereas the binding to L2-glycoproteins was not. Studies with alpha 2-6 sialytransferase indicated that alpha 2-6 linked sialic acid was not involved in the P-selectin binding to HSA. Surprisingly, an L2/HNK-1 specific antibody was found to cross-react with some HSA glycoforms and its binding correlated with P-selectin-IgG reactivity. L2/HNK-1-positive or L2/HNK-1-negative HSA glycoforms were also analyzed after coating to polystyrene beads. Only the L2/HNK-1-positive HSA coated beads were reactive with P-selectin-IgG and could bind to activated bend3 endothelioma cells expressing P-selectin whereas the L2/HNK-1-negative HSA beads did not. It is suggested that in its L2/HNK-1 modified form the HSA molecule on leukocytes could represent a ligand for P-selectin on endothelial cells or platelets.

P-selectin (CD62P), a Ca(2+)-dependent lectin expressed on activated platelets and endothelial cells, functions as a receptor for myeloid and monocytoid cells. Previous reports have described a homodimeric sialoglycoprotein from human leukocytes and HL-60 cells specifically recognized by P-selectin. We describe here a panel of monoclonal antibodies prepared against high molecular weight fractions of HL-60 cell membranes. These antibodies are of IgM isotype, bind to a approximately 240-kDa protein from human leukocyte membranes which is also reactive with P-selectin. They recognize a Ca(2+)-dependent, sialidase-sensitive determinant on myeloid and monocytoid cell lines. Each antibody specifically inhibits adhesion of neutrophils or HL-60 cells to: 1) purified P-selectin, 2) thrombin-stimulated platelets, and 3) phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-activated endothelial cells. These results suggest that the sialoglycoprotein recognized by this panel of monoclonal antibodies may function as a cell surface ligand for P-selectin.

Leukocyte rolling precedes firm adhesion and emigration in inflammatory cell recruitment. Both P-selectin, an endothelial lectin that binds to sialylated O-glycans containing sialyl-Lewisx (sLex) on the granulocyte surface, and leukocyte L-selectin have been shown to mediate leukocyte rolling in vivo. Here, we investigate rolling of isolated human neutrophils (PMN), HL-60 promyelocytes, and an L-selectin-transfected cell line (300.19-L) during trauma-induced inflammation in rat mesenteric venules. HL-60 cells, which express no L-selectin but abundant sLex, rolled effectively immediately after abdominal surgery. HL-60 cell rolling was almost completely abolished by pretreatment with sialidase or monoclonal antibody (MoAb) AM-3 recognizing sLex, and was reduced by about 80% by O-sialoglycoprotein-endopeptidase (OSGP). By contrast, 300.19-L cells rolled poorly immediately after surgery but rolled well between 40 and 120 minutes after surgery. Their rolling was completely inhibited by the blocking L-selectin MoAb LAM1-3, but not by a binding control MoAb. PMN express both L-selectin and clustered, sialylated glycoproteins including P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1). PMN showed effective rolling at all times, which was abolished by sialidase or MoAb AM-3 pretreatment during the first 30 minutes after surgery, but not later, when PMN rolling was largely L-selectin-dependent. We conclude that in trauma-induced inflammation, a two-step mechanism accounts for most of myeloid cell rolling, which initially requires O-glycans and subsequently depends on L-selectin function.

Lectin-carbohydrate recognition between the selectins and their ligands are among the earliest events in leukocyte recirculation, leukocyte recruitment into inflamed areas, and abnormal egress of leukocytes in diseases. Previously, we have described a dimeric sialoglycoprotein from myeloid cells with subunits of molecular mass = 120 kDa, which is selectively recognized by P-selectin (Moore, K.L., Stults, N.L., Diaz, S., Smith, D.F., Cummings, R.D., Varki, A., and McEver, R.P. (1992) J. Cell Biol. 188, 445-456). Here, we demonstrate that this P-selectin ligand carries alpha 2-3-linked sialic acids and the sialyl-Lewisx (SLex) tetrasaccharide motif. This glycoprotein contains < 1% of the total membrane-bound sialic acids and a very small fraction of the total SLex on neutrophil membranes. In spite of a relative resistance to sialidase digestion, the predominant form of sialic acid on the ligand is N-acetylneuraminic acid. Selective periodate oxidation of the side chain of sialic acids does not affect P-selectin binding and allows the introduction of tritium label into the truncated sialic acids. beta-Elimination with alkaline borohydride releases labeled O-linked oligosaccharides both from the labeled neutrophil ligand and from the ligand purified from HL-60 cells metabolically labeled with [3H]glucosamine. The ligand from both neutrophils and HL-60 cells is also susceptible to cleavage by the enzyme O-sialoglycoprotease from Pasteurella hemolytica. Analysis of the specificity of this enzyme suggests that the P-selectin ligand carries large numbers of closely spaced sialylated O-linked oligosaccharides. O-Sialoglycoprotease abolishes both direct binding of P-selectin to HL-60 cells and the adhesion of HL-60 cells to immobilized P-selectin, without significantly decreasing overall cell surface SLex expression. This indicates that the 120-kDa ligand may be the major determinant of P-selectin:myeloid cell interaction in vivo. Finally, based on the current and previous data, we hypothesize that the high affinity recognition site(s) of this P-selectin ligand may be derived from a "clustered saccharide patch" of sialylated fucosylated O-linked oligosaccharide sequences.

Activated platelets are known to express P-selectin, a lectin-like adhesion receptor (CD62), through which they bind to sialyl Lewis X (sLex) ligands displayed on the membranes of leukocytes. To determine whether direct platelet-platelet interactions via P-selectin/sLex interactions are also possible, we have examined the ganglioside extract of human blood platelets for the presence of sLex ligands. Using the sensitive method of high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC)-immunostaining with the monoclonal antibody (mAb) CSLEX or with sialidase followed by mAbs MC480 or PM81, eight sLex bands were demonstrated at Rf 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10, 0.14 and 0.21 in the solvent 45:55:10 chloroform-methanol-aqueous 0.02% CaCl2. The sensitivity of all eight bands to sialidase or endoglycoceramidase confirmed that they were gangliosides. Comparison of the HPTLC mobilities and densities of platelet bands with those from five other human tissues (granulocytes, monoblasts, kidney, aortic endothelium and erythrocytes) in three different solvents revealed three major bands associated with platelets: 3 (Rf0.03), 6 (0.08) and 14 (0.21). Platelet bands were demonstrated not to have resulted from granulocyte contamination. Partial purification of platelet sLex gangliosides by high-performance liquid chromatography and their reaction with 14 oligosaccharide-specific mAbs (FH4, FH5, LM112-161, LM119-181, A5, 1B2, BR55-2, BE2, ES4, MC631, MH04, SH34, P001 and MC813-70) revealed that band 6 is a multifucosylated neolacto ganglioside and band 14 is a branched, disialo neolacto fucoganglioside. Platelet band 3 combined the features of both bands 6 and 14, and reacted differently than granulocyte band 3. These partial structures resemble gangliosides associated with adhesion in other cell systems. It is concluded that platelets express tissue-specific sLex gangliosides (sLex ligands). Thus, it is possible that platelet-platelet binding may be mediated at least partially through P-selectin/sLex interactions, especially after platelet activation.

Aberrant glycosylation expressed in specific types of human cancer may define stage, direction, and fate of tumor progression. Well-studied examples are expression of sialosyl-Lewis(x) or sialosyl-Lewis(a) in colorectal carcinoma and histo-blood group A and H/Le(y) in lung cancer. In renal cell carcinoma (RCC), expression of sialosyl-Lewis(x) has no correlation with metastatic potential. Clinicopathological studies have revealed that the degree of expression of disialosyl galactosylgloboside (DSGG) and monosialosyl galactosylgloboside is correlated with metastatic potential (to lung and lymph nodes) of RCC and inversely correlated with patient survival. In the present study, we compared the adhesion of RCC lines to sections of various tissues measured by Stamper-Woodruff assay and other similar assays under dynamic flow conditions. Of the eight RCC lines tested, only TOS-1 (which expresses DSGG) bound strongly to lung tissue sections. TOS-1 did not bind to sections of liver, kidney, or lymph nodes. In the same eight RCC lines, we also compared expression of DSGG and monosialosyl galactosylgloboside (reflected by reactivity with RM1 and RM2), overall ganglioside patterns, and correlation with lung tissue-binding ability. Under both static and dynamic flow conditions, the binding of TOS-1 cells to lung alveolar tissue was correlated with their DSGG expression, i.e., the binding was inhibited by RM2 but not by RM1. This binding was also inhibited by sialidase but not by EDTA (i.e., it was CA 2+ independent). The other seven cell lines (TOS-2, TOS-M, SMKT-R1, -R2, -R3, and -R4, and ACHN), which do not express DSGG, showed much weaker adhesion to lung tissue. None of the eight cell lines showed E- or P-selectin-dependent adhesion. These results suggest the existence of a yet-uncharacterized sialoadhesive receptor++ that specifically recognizes DSGG. This receptor could be the binding target in RCC metastasis to lung.

L-Selectin on neutrophils as well as inducible E- and P-selectin on endothelium are involved in the recruitment of neutrophils into inflamed tissue. Based on cell attachment assays, L-selectin was suggested to function as a carbohydrate presenting ligand for E- and P-selectin. However, previous affinity isolation experiments with an E-selectin-Ig fusion protein had failed to detect L-selectin among the isolated E-selectin ligands from mouse neutrophils. We show here that L-selectin from human neutrophils, in contrast to mouse neutrophils, can be affinity-isolated as a major ligand from total cell extracts using E-selectin-Ig as affinity probe. Binding of human L-selectin to E-selectin was direct, since purified L-selectin could be reprecipitated with E-selectin-Ig. Recognition of L-selectin was abolished by sialidase-treatment, required Ca2+, and was resistant to treatment with endoglycosidase F. Binding of L-selectin to a P-selectin-Ig fusion protein was not observed. In agreement with the biochemical data, the anti-L-selectin mAb DREG56 inhibited rolling of human neutrophils on immobilized E-selectin-Ig but not on P-selectin-Ig. No such inhibitory effect was seen with the anti-mouse L-selectin mAb MEL14 on mouse neutrophils. Rolling of E-selectin transfectants on purified and immobilized human L-selectin was inhibited by mAb DREG56. We conclude that L-selectin on human neutrophils is a major glycoprotein ligand among very few glycoproteins that can be isolated by an E-selectin affinity matrix. The clear difference between human and mouse L-selectin suggests that E-selectin-binding carbohydrate moieties are attached to different protein scaffolds in different species.
