Binding of FMLP to the neutrophil N-formyl peptide receptor (FPR) transmits signals through pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins triggering Ca2+ flux, superoxide production, granule exocytosis, and neutrophil aggregation and adhesion involving the beta 2 (CD18) integrins. Expression of the FPR in mouse fibroblasts or human kidney cells has been shown to confer an N-formyl peptide-inducible Ca2+ flux in transfectants. Here we demonstrate that the transfected receptor can also support ligand-induced alterations in cellular adhesion. We established stable transfectants of mouse L1-2 pre-B cells with cDNA for human FPR (L1-2 FPR cells). The transfectants bind N-formyl-Nle-Leu-Phe-Nle-Tyr-Lys-fluorescein with 1.4 x 10(5) sites per cell and a dissociation constant of 3.3 nM. Stimulation with FMLP induces a transient Ca2+ flux. FMLP also triggers adhesion of L1-2 FPR cells to TNF-alpha- or LPS-activated bEnd3 cells (mouse brain-derived endothelial cells) and to purified mouse VCAM-1. Binding is inhibited by Abs to VCAM-1 and to the alpha-chain of its lymphocyte receptor (the alpha 4 beta 1 integrin, VLA-4). Stimulation with FMLP does not induce a change in cell surface expression of alpha 4. Induced adhesion to VCAM-1 is rapid, detectable at the earliest times measurable (30 to 60 s after FMLP addition), and is inhibited by pertussis toxin. We conclude that FPR can mediate integrin activation not only in neutrophils but also in lymphocytes, and can trigger rapid adhesion via lymphocyte alpha 4 beta 1. The adhesion of lymphocytes is critical to their migration and targeting; our results suggest the possibility of manipulating adhesive responses through expression of chemoattractant receptors in lymphoid cells engineered for cellular therapy, allowing targeted adhesion and potentially migration in response to locally administered ligands.

Nonopsonized Bordetella pertussis bind to human monocytes by means of the virulence factors filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA), pertactin, and the minor fimbrial subunit FimD. Receptors on monocytes that mediate binding of B. pertussis to these cells include complement receptor type 3 (CR3), which binds to FHA of B. pertussis, and very late antigen-5 (VLA-5), which binds to an, as yet, unknown ligand on these bacteria. In the present study, the possibility that FimD acts as a ligand for VLA-5 was investigated. Soluble fibronectin, which is the natural ligand for VLA-5, or mAbs against VLA-5 inhibited binding to monocytes of B. pertussis strains that express FimD but not of mutant strains that lack FimD. Beads that were coated with the fusion protein maltose-binding protein-FimD bound to adherent monocytes, and this binding was inhibited by soluble fibronectin or mAb against the alpha- or beta-chain of VLA-5, while soluble collagen or mAb against VLA-4, VLA-6, CR3, or HLA class II had no effect. Down-modulation of VLA-5 on the apical surface of monocytes by plating the cells onto surfaces precoated with anti-VLA-5 mAb also inhibited binding of beads coated with maltose-binding protein-FimD to monocytes, while precoating of the surfaces with mAb against VLA-6 or CR3 had no effect. These results indicate that VLA-5 on monocytes serves as a receptor for FimD on B. pertussis. Binding of C3bi-coated erythrocytes to monocytes, which is a measure of the binding activity of CR3, was enhanced when monocytes were adhered onto plates precoated with purified fimbriae of B. pertussis, while precoating with fimbriae lacking FimD had no effect. Precoating of the plates with FimD-containing fimbriae also enhanced binding of B. pertussis, which express FHA, but not of strains that lack FHA, to monocytes. The enhanced binding of C3bi-coated erythrocytes and B. pertussis to monocytes could be markedly inhibited by tyrphostin-47, a protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor. These results demonstrate that interaction of FimD of B. pertussis with VLA-5 on monocytes activates CR3, which requires protein tyrosine kinases and results in enhanced binding of B. pertussis to the latter receptor via FHA.

Leukocyte recruitment is a key step in the inflammatory reaction. Several changes in the cell morphology take place during lymphocyte activation and migration: spheric-shaped resting T cells become polarized during activation, developing a well defined cytoplasmic projection designated as cellular uropod. We found that the chemotactic and proinflammatory chemokines RANTES, MCP-1, and, to a lower extent, MIP-1 alpha, MIP-1 beta, and IL-8, were able to induce uropod formation and ICAM-3 redistribution in T lymphoblasts adhered to ICAM-1 or VCAM-1. A similar chemokine-mediated effect was observed during T cells binding to the fibronectin fragments of 38- and 80-kD, that contain the binding sites for the integrins VLA-4 and VLA-5, respectively. The uropod structure concentrated the ICAM-3 adhesion molecule (a ligand for LFA-1), and emerged to the outer milieu from the area of contact between lymphocyte and protein ligands. In addition, we found that other adhesion molecules such as ICAM-1, CD43, and CD44, also redistributed to the lymphocyte uropod upon RANTES stimulation, whereas a wide number of other cell surface receptors did not redistribute. Chemokines displayed a selective effect among different T cell subsets; MIP-1 beta had more potent action on CD8+ T cells and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL), whereas RANTES and MIP-1 alpha targeted selectively CD4+ T cells. We have also examined the involvement of cAMP signaling pathway in uropod formation. Interestingly, several cAMP agonists were able to induce uropod formation and ICAM-3 redistribution, whereas H-89, a specific inhibitor of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase, abrogated the chemokine-mediated uropod formation, thus pointing out a role for cAMP-dependent signaling in the development of this cytoplasmic projection. Since the lymphocyte uropod induced by chemokines was completely abrogated by Bordetella pertussis toxin, the formation of this membrane projection appears to be dependent on G proteins signaling pathways. In addition, the involvement of myosin-based cytoskeleton in uropod formation and ICAM-3 redistribution in response to chemokines was suggested by the prevention of this phenomenon with the myosin-disrupting agent butanedione monoxime. Interestingly, this agent also inhibited the ICAM-3-mediated cell aggregation, but not the cell adhesion to substrata. Altogether, these results demonstrate that uropod formation and adhesion receptor redistribution is a novel function mediated by chemokines; this phenomenon may represent a mechanism that significantly contributes to the recruitment of circulating leukocytes to inflammatory foci.

The CC chemokines regulated on activation normal T expressed and secreted (RANTES) and monocyte chemotactic protein 3 (MCP-3), and the anaphylatoxin C5a, induce activation, degranulation, chemotaxis, and transendothelial migration of eosinophils. Adhesion assays on purified ligands showed differential regulation of beta 1 and beta 2 integrin avidity in eosinophils. Adhesiveness of VLA-4 (alpha 4 beta 1, CD29/CD49d) for vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 or fibronectin was rapidly increased but subsequently reduced by RANTES, MCP-3, or C5a. The deactivation of VLA-4 lead to cell detachment, whereas phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate induced sustained activation of VLA-4. In contrast, chemoattractants stimulated a prolonged increase in the adhesiveness of Mac-1 (alpha M beta 2, CD11b/CD18) for intercellular adhesion molecule 1. Inhibition by pertussis toxin confirmed signaling via G protein-coupled receptors. Chemoattractants induced transient, while phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate induced sustained actin polymerization. Disruption of actin filaments by cytochalasins inhibited increases in avidity of VLA-4 but not of Mac-1. Chemoattractants did not upregulate a Mn2+-inducible beta 1 neoepitope defined by the mAb 9EG7, but induced prolonged expression of a Mac-1 activation epitope recognized by the mAb CBRM1/5. This mAb inhibited chemoattractant-stimulated adhesion of eosinophils to intercellular adhesion molecule 1. Thus, regulation of VLA-4 was dependent on the actin cytoskeleton, whereas conformational changes appeared to be crucial for activation of Mac-1. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration that physiological agonists, such as chemoattractants, can differentially regulate the avidity of a beta 1 and a beta 2 integrin expressed on the same leukocyte.

Pertussis toxin treatment in macaques inhibits lymphocyte extravasation from the blood and leads to transient lymphocytosis and leukocytosis. We examined lymphocyte adhesion molecules known to be involved in the extravasation process to find possible mechanisms for the effects of pertussis toxin treatment. The two subunits of LFA-1, CD11a and CD18, showed decreased surface expression on lymphocytes from pertussis toxin treated animals compared to untreated animals. The adhesion molecule CD44, and the alpha subunit of the integrin VLA-4 (CD49d) were not decreased by pertussis toxin treatment. Lower surface expression of CD11a and CD18 was observed on all lymphocyte subsets and was correlated inversely with the extent of lymphocytosis. The magnitude of lymphocytosis after pertussis toxin treatment was higher in SIV-infected macaques than in uninfected animals. However, changes in LFA-1 levels were similar in both groups. These data show that LFA-1 surface levels are affected by pertussis toxin in vivo and this change may account in part, for the ability of pertussis toxin to induce lymphocytosis.

The chemokine stromal cell-derived factor-1alpha (SDF-1alpha) and its G-protein-linked receptor CXCR4 are involved in hematopoietic progenitor cell and lymphocyte migration. The integrin VLA-4 is a cell adhesion receptor for CS-1/fibronectin and VCAM-1 and constitutes one of the main adhesion receptors mediating myeloma cell adhesion to bone marrow (BM) stroma in multiple myeloma (MM). It is shown here that MM CD38(hi)CD45RA(-) BM cells and myeloma-derived cell lines expressed CXCR4 and displayed a moderate chemotactic response to SDF-1alpha. Because cell migration in response to SDF-1alpha might require a dynamic regulation of integrin function, it was investigated whether SDF-1alpha can modulate VLA-4 function on myeloma cells. SDF-1alpha rapidly and transiently up-regulated VLA-4-mediated myeloma cell adhesion to both CS-1/fibronectin and VCAM-1, which was inhibited by pertussis toxin and cytochalasin D, indicating the involvement of G(i) protein downstream signaling and an intact cytoskeleton. Modulation of VLA-4-dependent myeloma cell adhesion by SDF-1alpha could contribute to the trafficking and localization of these cells in the BM microenvironment.

B-cell accumulation and formation of ectopic germinal centers are characteristic changes in the diseased joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Earlier studies suggested that interactions between B lymphocytes and specialized synovial "nurse-like" cells peculiar to the RA synovium may be responsible for the homing and sustained survival of B cells in the synovium. However, in this study, we found that B cells spontaneously migrate beneath ordinary fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) and then experience prolonged survival. FLSs isolated from joints of patients with osteoarthritis also supported this activity, termed B-cell pseudoemperipolesis. We found that FLSs constitutively expressed the chemokine stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1), and that pertussis toxin or antibodies to the SDF-1 receptor (CXCR4) could inhibit B-cell pseudoemperipolesis. However, expression of SDF-1 is not sufficient, as dermal fibroblasts also expressed this chemokine but were unable to support B-cell pseudoemperipolesis unless previously stimulated with IL-4 to express CD106 (VCAM-1), a ligand for the alpha(4)beta(1) integrin, very-late-antigen-4 (VLA-4 or CD49d). Furthermore, mAb's specific for CD49d and CD106, or the synthetic CS1 fibronectin peptide, could inhibit B-cell pseudoemperipolesis. We conclude that ordinary FLSs can support B-cell pseudoemperipolesis via a mechanism dependent upon fibroblast expression of SDF-1 and CD106.

Stromal cell-derived factor-1alpha (SDF-1alpha) is a potent chemoattractant for hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC), suggesting that it could play an important role during their migration within or to the bone marrow (BM). The integrin VLA-4 mediates HPC adhesion to BM stroma by interacting with CS-1/fibronectin and VCAM-1. It is required during hematopoiesis and homing of HPC to the BM. As HPC migration in response to SDF-1alpha might require dynamic regulation of integrin function, we investigated if SDF-1alpha could modulate VLA-4 function on BM CD34(hi) cells.CD34(hi) BM cells and hematopoietic cell lines were tested for the effect of SDF-1alpha on VLA-4-dependent adhesion to CS-1/fibronectin and VCAM-1, as well as to BM stroma. CD34(hi) BM cells that adhered to VLA-4 ligands after SDF-1alpha treatment were characterized in colony-forming and long-term culture-initiating cell (LTC-IC) assays.SDF-1alpha rapidly (1 minute) and transiently upregulated the adhesion of CD34(hi) BM cells and hematopoietic cell lines to both CS-1/fibronectin and VCAM-1, and to BM stromal cells. The upregulation of VLA-4-dependent cell adhesion by SDF-1alpha targeted primitive LTC-IC as well as committed CD34(hi) cells. SDF-1alpha-triggered enhancement in VLA-4 function was inhibited by pertussis toxin (PTx) and cytochalasin D, indicating the involvement of G(i) protein downstream signaling and an intact cytoskeleton. Instead, activation of p44/42 MAP kinases by SDF-1alpha did not functionally correlate with enhancement of VLA-4-dependent cell adhesion. Modulation of VLA-4-mediated CD34(hi) BM cell adhesion by SDF-1alpha could play a key role in their migration within and to the BM and therefore influence their proliferation and differentiation.

Stem cell homing into the bone microenvironment is the first step in the initiation of marrow-derived blood cells. It is reported that human severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) repopulating cells home and accumulate rapidly, within a few hours, in the bone marrow and spleen of immunodeficient mice previously conditioned with total body irradiation. Primitive CD34(+)CD38(-/low)CXCR4(+) cells capable of engrafting primary and secondary recipient mice selectively homed to the bone marrow and spleen, whereas CD34(-)CD38(-/low)Lin(-) cells were not detected. Moreover, whereas freshly isolated CD34(+)CD38(+/high) cells did not home, in vivo stimulation with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor as part of the mobilization process, or in vitro stem cell factor stimulation for 2 to 4 days, potentiated the homing capabilities of cytokine-stimulated CD34(+)CD38(+) cells. Homing of enriched human CD34(+) cells was inhibited by pretreatment with anti-CXCR4 antibodies. Moreover, primitive CD34(+)CD38(-/low)CXCR4(+) cells also homed in response to a gradient of human stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1), directly injected into the bone marrow or spleen of nonirradiated NOD/SCID mice. Homing was also inhibited by pretreatment of CD34(+) cells with antibodies for the major integrins VLA-4, VLA-5, and LFA-1. Pertussis toxin, an inhibitor of signals mediated by Galpha(i) proteins, inhibited SDF-1-mediated in vitro transwell migration but not adhesion or in vivo homing of CD34(+) cells. Homing of human CD34(+) cells was also blocked by chelerythrine chloride, a broad-range protein kinase C inhibitor. This study reveals rapid and efficient homing to the murine bone marrow by primitive human CD34(+)CD38(-/low)CXCR4(+) cells that is integrin mediated and depends on activation of the protein kinase C signal transduction pathway by SDF-1.

In a reconstituted flow chamber system, preincubation with chemokines can trigger the arrest of rolling monocytes, suggesting that this interaction could help recruit these cells to early atherosclerotic lesions. To date, however, the contribution of endothelium-derived chemokines found in these lesion to monocyte arrests has not been investigated. The endothelium of lesion-prone carotid arteries from apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE(-/-)) mice, but not control mice, presents the chemokines KC (mouse GRO-alpha) and JE (mouse monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 [MCP-1]). Arrest of a monocytic cell line or mouse blood monocytes perfused through carotid arteries of ApoE(-/-) mice was reduced by treating with either pertussis toxin, an antagonist of CXCR2, or an antibody to KC, but this process was insensitive to agents that blocked CCR-2 or JE. Conversely, monocyte accumulation more than doubled upon pre-perfusion of the carotid artery with KC but not with mouse MCP-1. Blockade of alpha(4)beta(1) integrin (VLA-4) or vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, but not CD18 or intercellular adhesion molecule-1, almost completely inhibited the arrest of monocytes. We conclude that when presented by early atherosclerotic lesions, KC but not murine MCP-1 triggers VLA-4-dependent monocyte recruitment.
