Activation of resting human CD4+ T cells mediated by mAb ligation of the TCR/CD3 complex requires costimulatory signals to result in proliferation; these can be provided by intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1, CD54) a natural ligand of leukocyte function-associated Ag-1 (LFA-1, CD11a/CD18). We analyzed early signaling events involved in T cell activation to determine the contribution by the LFA-1/ICAM-1 interaction. We studied in detail the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol(4,5)bisphosphate and intracellular levels of free Ca2+ during stimulation with beads coated with the CD3 mAb OKT3 alone or in combination with purified ICAM-1 protein. Our investigations show no response to LFA-1/ICAM-1 alone, but that costimulation by LFA-1/CAM-1 interaction induces prolonged inositol phospholipid hydrolysis (up to 4 h), resulting in generation of both inositol(1,4,5)phosphate3 and inositol(1,3,4,5)phosphate4 and their derivatives. Based on studies with cycloheximide, this costimulatory effect of prolonged inositol phospholipid hydrolysis appears dependent in part on de novo protein synthesis. A sustained increase in intracellular levels of free Ca2+ level is also observed after LFA-1/ICAM-1 costimulation, which is at least partly dependent on extracellular sources of Ca2+. Kinetic studies indicate that costimulation requires a minimal period of 4 h of LFA-1/ICAM-1 interaction to provide maximal costimulation for OKT3-mediated T cell proliferation. Thus, the necessary costimulation required for OKT3-mediated proliferation in this model system may be provided by an extended LFA-1/ICAM-1 interaction that in combination with OKT3 mAb leads to signal-transducing events, resulting in prolonged phospholipase C activation and phosphatidylinositol(4,5)bisphosphate hydrolysis, and a sustained increase in intracellular levels of free Ca2+.

Primitive clonogenic progenitor cells in human bone marrow bind to preformed marrow-derived stromal layers in vitro and generate colonies of blast cells. The binding interaction does not require calcium or magnesium ions and occurs equally well in serum-free and serum-supplemented culture medium. It does not appear to involve known cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) for which monoclonal antibodies are available (integrins, N-CAM, LFA-1, and ICAM-1), and we were unable to demonstrate a role for the progenitor cell antigen CD34 in progenitor cell adhesion to cultured stroma. The CAM expressed by the blast colony-forming cells may exist in transmembrane or phosphatidylinositol (PI)-linked forms because it is only partially degraded by exposure to trypsin or to PI-specific phospholipase C. However, binding of these cells to stroma is not prevented in the presence of monoclonal antibodies reacting with known PI-linked structures (Thy-1, CD14, and CD16). It is either masked by neuraminidase-sensitive residues or is no longer expressed as cells mature, respectively, along the granulocytic or erythroid lineages. The properties of the hemopoietic progenitor CAM are discussed with reference to the properties of other CAMs and of hemopoietic progenitor cell markers.

B lymphocytes must respond to low concentrations of antigen despite having low affinity antigen receptors during the primary immune response. CD19, a B cell-restricted membrane protein of the immunoglobulin superfamily that associates with the antigen receptor complex, may help the B cell meet this requirement. Cross-linking CD19 to membrane immunoglobulin (mIg) lowers, by two orders of magnitude, the number of mIg that must be ligated to activate phospholipase C (PLC) or to induce DNA synthesis. CD19 is coupled, via protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs), to PLC and phosphatidylinositol 3' kinase (PI3' kinase), and it interacts with the Src-type nonreceptor PTK lyn. It also associates with two other membrane proteins, CR2 (complement receptor type 2, CD21), which permits nonimmunologic ligation of CD19, and TAPA-1, a member of the tetraspan family of membrane proteins. CR2 binds fragments of C3 that are covalently attached to glycoconjugates. This indirectly enables CD19 to be cross-linked to mIg after preimmune recognition of an immunogen by the complement system. CR2 also can be ligated by CD23, a lectin-like membrane protein that resides on cells that may present antigen to B cells. TAPA-1 associates with several other membrane proteins on B and T cells, including MHC class II, CD4, and CD8, and it promotes Ca2(+)- and LFA-1-independent homotypic aggregation when ligated directly or indirectly through CD19 or CR2. This may facilitate interaction of the B cell with other cells essential for cellular activation. The formation of this membrane protein complex by representatives of three different protein families helps the B cell resolve its dilemma of combining broad specificity with high sensitivity.

T-cell hybridomas metastasize widely, and the extent of dissemination correlates with invasiveness in fibroblast cultures. Previously, we provided evidence that both metastasis and in vitro invasion require activation of LFA-1, induced by G-protein-transduced signals triggered by as yet unidentified factors. We show here that LFA-1-mediated adhesion of TAM2D2 T-cell hybridoma cells to ICAM-1 can in fact be induced by direct activation of G-proteins using AIF-4, to the same extent as by using PMA or Mn2+. We assessed effects of protein kinase C (PKC), tyrosine kinase (TK), PI3-kinase (PI3K), and phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitors. Both AIF-4-induced adhesion and invasion were completely blocked by the TK inhibitor genistein and partially blocked by the PI3K inhibitor wortmannin, but not influenced by PKC inhibitor GF109203X. Downregulation of PKC did not affect invasion or adhesion induced by AIF-4 either. In contrast, GF109203X and PKC downregulation blocked PMA-induced adhesion, but genistein and wortmannin had no effect. Invasion and both AIF-4- and PMA-induced adhesion were completely blocked by the PLC inhibitor U73122. Mn(2+)-induced adhesion, which was not or was only partially blocked by the other inhibitors, was delayed by U73122, and spreading of Mn(2+)-treated cells was completely prevented by U73122. However, PLC activity during adhesion was not detected. We conclude that signals required for invasion and G-protein-induced adhesion are similar and are distinct from PKC-induced adhesion, and that in all cases PLC is likely to be activated, but is probably too local and/or transient to be detected.

Coelomocytes of Themiste petricola, a marine invertebrate of the phylum Sipuncula, were exposed in vitro to bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS), and the phagocytic activity against heat-killed yeast (Saccharomices cerevisiae) was evaluated using a flow cytometric assay. An increase of phagocytic activity was observed following pre-incubation of coelomocytes over 20 h with either 5 micrograms/mL LPS or 1.5 micrograms/mL phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). The phagocytic enhancement induced by LPS was blocked by co-incubation with polymixin B, a ligand for the lipid A region of LPS. In a 72 h stimulation assay, LPS was also found to enhance phagocytosis. The enhancement was significantly higher when coelomocytes were incubated with LPS plus coelomic plasma. Using mAbs directed against human CD14 and components of the human LFA-1 complex, we identified coelomocyte surface antigens cross-reactive with CD14, CD11b and CD11c. The expression of CD11b and CD11c antigens was augmented by LPS treatment of coelomocytes. By double fluorescence assays, using mAb Leu-M3 and fluorescein labeled yeast, phagocytic coelomocytes were found to be mainly anti-CD14 positive. No cross-reactions were detected with mAbs against CD11a and CD18. Enzymatic treatment of coelomocytes with phosphatidyl inositol phospholipase C (PI-PLC) reduced the expression of the CD14-like antigen. The presence, in sipunculan coelomocytes, of antigens cross-reactive with CD14, the alpha chain of CR3 and of p150,95 raises the possibility that molecules related, although not necessary homologous, to the mammalian counterparts may have a role in the defense systems of these animals.

ICAM-3 is a pan-hematopoietic, constitutive adhesion molecule. ICAM-3 binds to LFA-1 on antigen-presenting cells (APC) stabilizing the T cell-APC interaction, facilitating signaling through the CD3/TCR complex. However, recent evidence using cultured and transformed T cells suggests ICAM-3 may also function in signaling. Because ICAM-3 is constitutively expressed on resting T cells, we postulated that signaling through ICAM-3 in resting T cells represents an important costimulatory mechanism in these cells. In purified resting human T cells, cross-linking both ICAM-3 and CD3 with plate-bound antibodies resulted in a marked increase in cell size (consistent with blastogenesis), synergistically increased surface expression of CD25 and CD69, and increased T cell metabolism. Similarly, concomitant ICAM-3 and CD3 stimulation significantly (P < 0.001) increased resting human T cell phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis and phospholipase C-gamma1 phosphorylation. These results indicate that ICAM-3 augments signaling through CD3, functioning as a costimulatory molecule for resting T cells in the initial activation step.

We previously showed that LFA-1-dependent in vitro invasion and in vivo migration of a T cell hybridoma was blocked in cells overexpressing a truncated dominant-negative zeta-associated protein (ZAP)-70. The truncated ZAP-70 also blocked LFA-1-dependent chemotaxis through ICAM-1-coated filters induced by 1 ng/ml stromal cell-derived factor-1, but not LFA-1-independent chemotaxis induced by 100 ng/ml stromal cell-derived factor-1. This suggested that LFA-1 engagement triggers a signal that amplifies a weak chemokine signal and that dominant-negative ZAP-70 blocks this LFA-1 signal. Here we show that cross-linking of part of the LFA-1 molecules with Abs causes activation of free LFA-1 molecules (not occupied by the Ab) on the same cell, which then bind to ICAM-2 on other cells. This causes cell aggregation that was also blocked by dominant-negative ZAP-70. Thus, an LFA-1 signal involving ZAP-70 activates other LFA-1 molecules, suggesting that the chemokine signal can be amplified by multiple cycles of LFA-1 activation. The chemokine and the LFA-1 signal were both blocked by a phospholipase C inhibitor and a calpain inhibitor, suggesting that one of the amplified signals is the phospholipase C-dependent activation of calpain. Finally, we show that both Src-homology 2 domains are required for inhibition of invasion, chemotaxis, and aggregation by the truncated ZAP-70, suggesting that ZAP-70 interacts with a phosphorylated immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) sequence. Remarkably, this is not an ITAM in the TCR/CD3 complex because this is not expressed by this T cell hybridoma.

During acute inflammatory processes, beta(2) and beta(1) integrins sequentially mediate leukocyte recruitment into extravascular tissues. We studied the influence of VLA-4 (very late antigen-4) (alpha(4)beta(1)) engagement on beta(2) integrin activation-dependent cell-to-cell adhesion. Ligation of VLA-4 by the soluble chimera fusion product vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1)-Fc or by 2 anti-CD29 (beta(1) chain) monoclonal antibodies (mAb) rapidly induced adhesion of myelomonocytic cells (HL60, U937) to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Cell adhesion was mediated via beta(2) integrin (LFA-1 and Mac-1) activation: induced adhesion to HUVECs was inhibited by blocking mAbs anti-CD18 (70%-90%), anti-CD11a (50%-60%), or anti-CD11b (60%-70%). Adhesion to immobilized ligands of beta(2) integrins (intercellular adhesion molecule-1 [ICAM-1], fibrinogen, keyhole limpet hemocyanin) as well as to ICAM-1-transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells, but not to ligands of beta(1) integrins (VCAM-1, fibronectin, laminin, and collagen), was augmented. VCAM-1-Fc binding provoked the expression of the activation-dependent epitope CBRM1/5 of Mac-1 on leukocytes. Clustering of VLA-4 through dimeric VCAM-1-Fc was required for beta(2) integrin activation and induction of cell adhesion, whereas monovalent VCAM-1 or Fab fragments of anti-beta(1) integrin mAb were ineffective. Activation of beta(2) integrins by alpha(4)beta(1) integrin ligation (VCAM-1-Fc or anti-beta(1) mAb) required the presence of urokinase receptor (uPAR) on leukocytic cells, because the removal of uPAR from the cell surface by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C reduced cell adhesion to less than 40%. Adhesion was reconstituted when soluble recombinant uPAR was allowed to reassociate with the cells. Finally, VLA-4 engagement by VCAM-1-Fc or anti-beta(1) integrin mAb induced uPAR-dependent adhesion to immobilized vitronectin as well. These results elucidate a novel activation pathway of beta(2) integrin-dependent cell-to-cell adhesion that requires alpha(4)beta(1) integrin ligation for initiation and uPAR as activation transducer. (Blood. 2000;96:506-513)

The formation of a conjugate between a T cell and an APC requires the activation of integrins on the T cell surface and remodeling of cytoskeletal elements at the cell-cell contact site via inside-out signaling. The early events in this signaling pathway are not well understood, and may differ from the events involved in adhesion to immobilized ligands. We find that conjugate formation between Jurkat T cells and EBV-B cells presenting superantigen is mediated by LFA-1 and absolutely requires Lck. Mutations in the Lck kinase, Src homology 2 or 3 domains, or the myristoylation site all inhibit conjugation to background levels, and adhesion cannot be restored by the expression of Fyn. However, ZAP-70-deficient cells conjugate normally, indicating that Lck is required for LFA-1-dependent adhesion via other downstream pathways. Several drugs that inhibit T cell adhesion to ICAM-1 immobilized on plastic, including inhibitors of mitogen-activated protein/extracellular signal-related kinase kinase, phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase, and calpain, do not inhibit conjugation. Inhibitors of phospholipase C and protein kinase C block conjugation of both wild-type and ZAP-70-deficient cells, suggesting that a phospholipase C that does not depend on ZAP-70 for its activation is involved. These results are not restricted to Jurkat T cells; Ag-specific primary T cell blasts behave similarly. Although the way in which Lck signals to enhance LFA-1-dependent adhesion is not clear, we find that cells lacking functional Lck fail to recruit F-actin and LFA-1 to the T cell:APC contact site, whereas ZAP-70-deficient cells show a milder phenotype characterized by disorganized actin and LFA-1 at the contact site.

We analyzed differences in the transendothelial migration (TEM) ability of T-helper (Th)-1 and Th2 cells across a murine endothelial cell line (F-2) under static conditions. The TEM abilities of Th1 cells from mice bearing autoimmune diseases and antigen-specific Th1 cell lines were severalfold higher than those of Th2 cells and lines of the same origin. These preferences were observed without exogenous chemoattractant and were insensitive to pertussis toxin, which completely blocks TEM induced by exogenous chemoattractants. Antibodies against LFA-1 and ICAM-1 as well as CD44 markedly blocked the TEM of Th1 cells. TEM ability was also blocked by pharmacological inhibitors of Src family protein-tyrosine kinases (PP2 and herbimycin A), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (wortmannin), and phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (). Cross-linking of CD44 strongly induced highly elongated morphology in Th1 lines, but weakly in Th2 lines. The pharmacological inhibitors that blocked TEM also inhibited this morphological change, whereas pertussis toxin did not. These data indicate that there are signaling pathways for TEM independent of chemokine attraction, but through adhesion molecules including CD44, and that the preferential TEM ability of Th1 over Th2 cells is formed, at least in part, by intrinsic differences in these pathways.
