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+.

Human granulocytes express several species of nonspecific cross-reacting antigens (NCA), glycoproteins belonging to the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) family. Our previous studies have shown that at least two different NCA of 95 and 90 kDa are contained in the major NCA band of 90 to 100 kDa detectable upon gel electrophoresis of immunoprecipitates obtained from the cell surfaces of granulocytes with polyclonal anti-NCA. In the present study, the 90 to 100-kDa NCA band was found to include one more species of 100 kDa. This component was reactive with an anti-CD67 antibody as well as polyclonal anti-NCA and released from the cell surface with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C, indicating that the 100-kDa NCA species is CD67. Both antibodies revealed high binding activities with a recombinant protein of CGM6, which has been identified in a leukocyte cDNA library as an NCA gene and found to encode a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol-anchored heterotypic cell adhesion molecule. Furthermore, the apparent molecular mass of the deglycosylated CD67 (38 kDa) corresponded with that of the CGM6 protein. These results suggest that CD67 is equivalent to the NCA species CGM6.

The interactions between haemopoietic progenitor cells and marrow stromal cells that are essential for the regulation of normal haemopoiesis are defective in chronic phase chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML). The presence of primitive progenitor cells (blast colony-forming cells, Bl-CFC) in the blood of patients with CML is reflected by their reduced capacity to bind to marrow derived stromal layers in vitro. Whereas normal bone marrow Bl-CFC bind irreversibly to cultured stromal layers (and none are found in normal blood), the Bl-CFC in CML bind transiently and then detach. The normal cell adhesion mechanism is partially sensitive to treatment with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (Pl-PLC), indicating the participation of a phosphatidylinositol (Pl)-linked structure; however, when CML cells were treated with Pl-PLC it had no effect on progenitor binding. Two other Pl-linked structures, decay-accelerating factor (DAF) and lymphocyte function associated antigen-3 (LFA-3) were normally expressed on CD34 positive CML cells and normally susceptible to Pl-PLC treatment. The treatment of normal cells with Pl-PLC, to mimic the situation in CML, resulted in the indiscriminate and inefficient binding of Bl-CFC to stroma. Moreover, treatment of the normal cells with 5637 conditioned medium (CM), which contains haemopoietic growth factors, also reduced the binding capacity of normal Bl-CFC; 5637CM treatment did not alter the expression of DAF. It is proposed that a Pl-linked cell adhesion molecule (CAM) is deficient in CML as a consequence of the constitutive activation of ABL kinase whilst, in normal cells, CAMs attached in this manner are responsible for efficient adhesion to stroma and are regulated by growth factors.

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.

Lymphocyte function-associated antigen 3 (LFA-3) is a widely distributed cell surface glycoprotein that binds to the T lymphocyte CD2 surface glycoprotein. This interaction mediates CTL-target cell conjugate formation and adhesion of thymocytes to thymic epithelial cells. CD2 is also the E rosette receptor of T lymphocytes and mediates rosetting with autologous E by binding to LFA-3. We describe deficient expression of LFA-3 on E from paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) patients. PNH is an acquired defect affecting phosphatidylinositol-anchored membrane proteins, of which decay-accelerating factor (DAF) is most important in the clinical symptoms of PNH. LFA-3-negative, weakly positive, and positive populations were found among PNH E. There was a good correlation with DAF deficiency. PNH E exhibited decreased binding of 125I-CD2 and rosetting with a human T lymphoma cell line. PNH E readily incorporated purified LFA-3, restoring LFA-3 expression and the CD2 binding and rosetting activity to normal levels. The expression of DAF was not restored after the incorporation of purified LFA-3 into PNH E, showing that LFA-3 and DAF are different molecules. Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PIPLC) treatment of a B lymphoma cell line released 35% of the cell surface LFA-3 and 62% of DAF. LFA-3 on E was resistant to PIPLC. However, when LFA-3 purified from human E was reconstituted in sheep E or human E and subjected to PIPLC treatment, 40-50% of LFA-3 was released from the cell membrane. The results show that LFA-3 is attached to the cell membrane by a phosphatidylinositol glycolipid moiety, and confirm previous findings (37-41) that LFA-3 is a cell adhesion molecule that mediates adhesion by interacting with CD2 antigen.

Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) is a member of the Ig superfamily that shows increased expression in a number of pathologic conditions. The role of VCAM-1 in human disease remains undefined and murine models are being extensively studied to help define the importance of VCAM-1 in inflammatory disorders. We have cloned and characterized the murine Vcam1 gene including 3 kb of 5'-flanking sequences and mapped the gene to chromosome 3 near Amy1. cDNA clones isolated from a stimulated hepatic library were found to encode a truncated form of VCAM-1 (T-VCAM-1) which contains Ig domains 1 through 3 and has a unique alternative carboxyl terminus. This form arises by alternative splicing. High level expression of T-VCAM-1 in transfected L cells was sufficient to support adhesion of lymphocytes, and this adhesion was blocked by Abs to VCAM-1. Treatment of transfected COS cells with phospholipase C led to reduced levels of T-VCAM-1 on the cell surface consistent with glycosylphosphatidylinositol linkage. Northern blot analysis showed that mRNA for T-VCAM-1 is inducible in multiple tissues after stimulation with endotoxin. Both forms of VCAM-1 were expressed in cultured endothelial, fibroblast, and aortic smooth muscle cells, whereas neither form was observed in monocyte- and lymphocyte-derived lines. Differential regulation of both forms of VCAM-1 was observed in the three different cell types that are present in the vessel wall. Thus, expression of VCAM-1 is restricted and controlled at the level of transcription and by alternative splicing.

Myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) is a myelin-specific cell adhesion molecule of the immunoglobulin supergene family and is tyrosine-phosphorylated in the developing brain. To define the role of MAG in signal transduction, the tyrosine phosphorylation sites were analyzed. The major tyrosine phosphorylation residue was identified as Tyr-620, which was found to interact specifically with the SH2 domains of phospholipase C (PLC gamma). This domain may represent a novel protein binding motif that can be regulated by tyrosine phosphorylation. MAG also specifically bound the Fyn tyrosine kinase, suggesting that MAG serves as a docking protein that allows the interaction between different signaling molecules.

Adhesion of hematopoietic progenitor cells to marrow-derived adherent cells has been noted for erythroid, myeloid, and lymphoid precursors. In this report, we have characterized very late antigen (VLA) integrin expression on normal CD34+ marrow progenitors, on leukemic cell lines, and on blasts from patients with acute myelogenous or monocytic leukemias. CD34+ progenitor cells expressed the integrin beta 1 chain (CD29), VLA-4 alpha (CD49d), and VLA-5 alpha (CD49e). The myeloid lines KG1 and KG1a also expressed CD49d and CD49e as did the Mo7e megakaryoblastic line. CD29, CD18, and CD11a were also present on each of these cell lines. Only the Mo7e line expressed the cytoadhesins GPIIbIIIa or GPIb. Binding of KG1a to marrow stroma was partially inhibited by antibodies to CD49d and its ligand, vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM-1). The majority of leukemic blasts studied expressed CD49d and CD49e as well. Blasts from patients with acute myelomonocytic leukemia consistently bound to stroma at levels greater than 20%, and adhesion to stroma could in some cases be partly inhibited by anti-CD49d. No role for glycosylphosphatidyl-inositol (GPI)-linked structures was demonstrated in these binding assays because the adhesion of leukemic blasts to stroma was not diminished after treatment with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC). These studies indicate that CD34+ myeloid progenitors, myeloid leukemic cell lines, and leukemic blasts possess a similar array of VLA integrins. Their functional importance individually or in combination with other mediators of attachment in adhesion, transendothelial migration, and differentiation has yet to be fully elucidated.

Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM1) is a member of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily which interacts with the integrin very late antigen-4 (VLA4). The VCAM1/VLA4 interaction mediates both adhesion and signal transduction and is thought to play an important role in inflammatory and immune responses in vivo. VCAM1 cDNAs cloned from mouse, rat, rabbit, and human libraries contain six, seven, or eight extracellular Ig-like domains generated by alternate splicing, but to date shorter forms have not been found. We have cloned a novel cDNA encoding only the three N-terminal domains of murine VCAM1 followed by a unique C-terminal tail generated by alternate splicing of a previously undescribed exon. This truncated form of murine VCAM1 (3D-VCAM1) is expressed in COS cells as a functional adhesion molecule which is lost from the cell surface following treatment with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. 3D-VCAM1 is found only in endotoxin-treated but not control murine and rat tissues. Thus in rodents alternate splicing of the VCAM1 gene generates a unique truncated inflammation-specific phosphatidylinositol-linked form of VCAM1.

We present evidence that the neurite out-growth stimulated by the binding of Thy-1 antibodies to PC12 cells is mediated by calcium influx through both N- and L-type calcium channels. PC12 cells cultured on a noncellular substratum in the presence of NGF, or on a cellular substratum in the absence of NGF, responded to soluble Thy-1 antibody by extending longer neurites. The response required bivalent antibody and could be blocked by removing Thy-1 from the surface of PC12 cells with phosphatidylinositol specific phospholipase C. The response could also be blocked by reducing extracellular calcium to 0.25 mM, or by antagonists of L- and N-type calcium channels. Additionally, the response could be fully inhibited by preloading PC12 cells with BAPTA/AM which buffers changes in intracellular calcium. A heterotrimeric G-protein is also implicated in the pathway as the response could be fully inhibited by pertussis toxin. These data suggest that antibody-induced clustering of Thy-1 stimulates neurite outgrowth by activating a second messenger pathway that has previously been shown to underlie cell adhesion molecule (NCAM, N-cadherin, and L1), but not integrin or NGF-dependent neurite outgrowth.
