The ADAP-SKAP-55 module regulates T-cell receptor (TCR)-induced integrin clustering and adhesion in T cells. However, it has been unclear whether ADAP and/or SKAP-55 is an effector of the response. ADAP controls SKAP-55 expression such that ADAP(-/-) T cells are also deficient in SKAP-55 expression. In this study, we report the phenotype of the SKAP-55-deficient mouse. SKAP-55(-/-) T cells retain ADAP expression yet show defects in beta1 and beta2 integrin adhesion, leukocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1) clustering, production of the cytokines interleukin-2 and gamma interferon, and proliferation. This dependency was also reflected in more-transient conjugation times in response to the superantigen staphylococcal enterotoxin A on dendritic cells and a reduced number of cells with TCR/CD3 microcluster localization at the immunological synapse. SKAP-55(-/-) T cells showed the same general impairment of function as ADAP(-/-) T cells, indicating that SKAP-55 is an effector of the ADAP-SKAP-55 module. At the same time, the requirement for ADAP and SKAP-55 was not absolute, since a subset of peripheral T cells adhered with loss of expression of either adaptor. Further, dependency on SKAP-55 or ADAP differed with the strength of the TCR signal. As with the ADAP(-/-) mouse, SKAP-55-deficient mice showed no major effects on lymphoid development or the appearance of peripheral T cells, B cells, and NK cells. Our findings identify a clear effector role for SKAP-55 in LFA-1 adhesion in peripheral T cells and demonstrate that dependency on SKAP-55 and ADAP differs among T cells and differs with the strength of the TCR signal. 相似文献

The adapter molecule Src homology 2 (SH2) domain-containing leukocyte phosphoprotein of 76 kDa (SLP-76) is essential for FcepsilonRI-mediated signaling, degranulation and IL-6 production in mast cells. To test the structural requirements of SLP-76 in mast cell signaling and function, we have studied the functional responses of murine bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) expressing mutant forms of SLP-76. We found that the N-terminal tyrosines as well as the central proline-rich region of SLP-76 are required for participation of SLP-76 in FcepsilonRI-mediated signaling and function. The C-terminal SH2 domain of SLP-76 also contributes to optimal function of SLP-76 in mast cells. Another adapter molecule, adhesion- and degranulation-promoting adapter protein (ADAP), is known to bind the SH2 domain of SLP-76, and cell line studies have implicated ADAP in mast cell adhesion and FcepsilonRI-induced degranulation. Surprisingly, we found that mast cells lacking ADAP expression demonstrate no defects in FcepsilonRI-induced adhesion, granule release, or IL-6 production, and that ADAP-deficient mice produce a normal passive systemic anaphylactic response. Thus, failure to bind ADAP does not underlie the functional defects exhibited by SLP-76 SH2 domain mutant-expressing mast cells. 相似文献

One outcome of T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling is increased affinity and avidity of integrins for their ligands. This occurs through a process known as inside-out signaling, which has been shown to require several molecular components including the adapter proteins ADAP (adhesion and degranulation-promoting adapter protein) and SKAP-55 (55-kDa src kinase-associated phosphoprotein) and the small GTPase Rap1. Herein, we provide evidence linking ADAP and SKAP-55 to RIAM, a recently described adapter protein that binds selectively to active Rap1. We identified RIAM as a key component linking the ADAP/SKAP-55 module to the small GTPase Rap1, facilitating TCR-mediated integrin activation. We show that RIAM constitutively interacts with SKAP-55 in both a heterologous transfection system and primary T cells and map the region essential for this interaction. Additionally, we find that the SKAP-55/RIAM complex is essential both for TCR-mediated adhesion and for efficient conjugate formation between T cells and antigen-presenting cells. Mechanistic studies revealed that the ADAP/SKAP-55 module relocalized RIAM and Rap1 to the plasma membrane following TCR activation to facilitate integrin activation. These results describe for the first time a link between ADAP/SKAP-55 and the Rap1/RIAM complex and provide a potential new mechanism for TCR-mediated integrin activation. 相似文献

Affinity modulation of very late antigen-5 through phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase in mast cells 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Adhesiveness of integrins is up-regulated rapidly by a number of molecules, including growth factors, cytokines, chemokines, and other cell surface receptors, through a mechanism termed inside-out signaling. The inside-out signaling pathways are thought to alter integrin affinity for ligand, or cell surface distribution of integrin by diffusion/clustering. However, it remains to be clarified whether any physiologically relevant agonists induce a rapid change in the affinity of beta1 integrins and how ligand-binding affinity is modulated upon stimulation. In this study, we reported that affinity of beta1 integrin very late Ag-5 (VLA-5) for fibronectin was rapidly increased in bone marrow-derived mast cells by Ag cross-linking of FcepsilonRI. Ligand-binding affinity of VLA-5 was also augmented by receptor tyrosine kinases when the phospholipase Cgamma-1/protein kinase C pathway was inhibited. Wortmannin suppressed induction of the high affinity state VLA-5 in either case. Conversely, introduction of a constitutively active p110 subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) increased the binding affinity for fibronectin. Failure of a constitutively active Akt to stimulate adhesion suggested that the affinity modulation mechanisms mediated by PI 3-kinase are distinct from the mechanisms to control growth and apoptosis by PI 3-kinase. Taken together, our findings demonstrated that the increase of affinity of VLA-5 was induced by physiologically relevant stimuli and PI 3-kinase was a critical affinity modulator of VLA-5. 相似文献

Adhesion of T cells after stimulation of the T-cell receptor (TCR) is mediated via signaling processes that have collectively been termed inside-out signaling. The molecular basis for inside-out signaling is not yet completely understood. Here, we show that a signaling module comprising the cytosolic adapter proteins ADAP and SKAP55 is involved in TCR-mediated inside-out signaling and, moreover, that the interaction between ADAP and SKAP55 is mandatory for integrin activation. Disruption of the ADAP/SKAP55 module leads to displacement of the small GTPase Rap1 from the plasma membrane without influencing its GTPase activity. These findings suggest that the ADAP/SKAP55 complex serves to recruit activated Rap1 to the plasma membrane. In line with this hypothesis is the finding that membrane targeting of the ADAP/SKAP55 module induces T-cell adhesion in the absence of TCR-mediated stimuli. However, it appears as if the ADAP/SKAP55 module can exert its signaling function outside of the classical raft fraction of the cell membrane. 相似文献

Adhesion and degranulation-promoting adapter protein (ADAP) is critically involved in downstream signalling events triggered by the activation of the T cell receptor. Cytokine production, proliferation and integrin clustering of T cells are dependent on ADAP function, but the molecular basis for these processes is poorly understood. We now show the hSH3 domain of ADAP to be a lipid-interaction module that binds to acidic lipids, including phosphatidylinositides. Positively charged surface patches of the domain preferentially bind to polyvalent acidic lipids such as PIP2 or PIP3 over the monovalent PS phospholipid and this interaction is dependent on the N-terminal helix of the hSH3 domain fold. Basic amino acid side-chains from the SH3 scaffold also contribute to lipid binding. In the context of T cell signalling, our findings suggest that ADAP, upon recruitment to the cell-cell junction as part of a multiprotein complex, directly interacts with phosphoinositide-enriched regions of the plasma membrane. Furthermore, the ADAP lipid interaction defines the helically extended SH3 scaffold as a novel member of membrane interaction domains. 相似文献

Mast cell activation through the high affinity IgE receptor (FcepsilonRI) is a critical component of atopic inflammation. The cytokine TGF-beta1 has been shown to inhibit IgE-dependent mast cell activation, possibly serving to dampen mast cell-mediated inflammatory responses. We present proof that TGF-beta1 inhibits mast cell FcepsilonRI expression through a reversible pathway that diminishes protein, but not mRNA, expression of the FcepsilonRI subunit proteins alpha, beta, and gamma. The stability of the expressed proteins and the assembled cell surface complex was unaltered by TGF-beta1 treatment. However, TGF-beta1 decreased the rate of FcepsilonRI beta-chain synthesis, arguing that this inhibitory cytokine exerts its effects at the level of mRNA translation. TGF-beta1 consistently diminished FcepsilonRI expression on cultured human or mouse mast cells as well as freshly isolated peritoneal mast cells. The related cytokines, TGF-beta2 and TGF-beta3, had similar effects. We propose that TGF-beta1 acts as a negative regulator of mast cell function, in part by decreasing FcepsilonRI expression. 相似文献

Engagement of the high affinity receptor for IgE (FcepsilonRI) on mast cells and basophils results in FcepsilonRI beta and gamma subunits ubiquitination by an as yet undefined mechanism. Here we show that, upon FcepsilonRI engagement on RBL-2H3 cells Syk undergoes ubiquitination and Syk kinase activity is required for its own ubiquitination and that of FcepsilonRI beta and gamma chains. This requirement was demonstrated by overexpression of Syk wild-type or its kinase-dead mutant in RBL cells or using an Syk-deficient RBL-derived cell line transfected with wild-type or a kinase inactive form of Syk. We also identify c-Cbl as the E3 ligase responsible for both Syk and receptor ubiquitination. Furthermore, we demonstrate that Syk controls tyrosine phosphorylation of Syk-associated Cbl induced after receptor engagement. These data suggest a mutual regulation between Syk and Cbl activities. Finally, we show that a selective inhibitor of proteasome degradation induces persistence of tyrosine-phosphorylated receptor complexes, of activated Syk, and of FcepsilonRI-triggered degranulation. Our results provide a molecular mechanism for down-regulation of engaged receptor complexes by targeting ubiquitinated FcepsilonRI and activated Syk to the proteasome for degradation. 相似文献

Integrin adhesion is essential for aspects of immune function, including antigen presentation and migration in lymph nodes, germinal centers and sites of inflammation. Antigen receptors on B and T cells generate 'inside-out' signals for increased integrin clustering and adhesion. Although upstream components of B-cell-receptor or T-cell-receptor signaling are needed, the identity of key downstream effectors that mediate integrin adhesion is only just emerging. New candidates include immune-cell-specific adaptor proteins ADAP, SKAP-55 and SKAP-55-related (SKAP-55R). SKAP-55 has recently been identified as an effector in T cells in SKAP-55-deficient mice, whereas SKAP-55R is needed for B-cell adhesion. ADAP is required for SKAP-55 and SKAP-55R protein stability. SKAP-55 and SKAP-55R have unexpectedly specialized roles in T- and B-cell adhesion of the immune system. 相似文献

Integrins are alpha/beta heterodimeric cell surface receptors devoid of enzymatic activity. Signal transduction therefore requires the association of cytosolic and cytoskeletal proteins with the integrin subunit intracellular regions. This association is initiated upon ligand binding to the integrin receptor and includes clustering of the integrins and recruitment of focal adhesion-associated proteins. Whether integrin clustering is solely dependent on ligand binding to the integrin extracellular parts or involves also interactions between the intracellular tails of integrins is so far unknown. To investigate intracellular events in integrin clustering, we have used peptides corresponding to the integrin beta1 cytoplasmic region. Loading of cells with the peptides results in a decreased cell adhesion and in an inhibition of cell spreading in agreement with the previously reported dominant negative effect of the beta1 integrin cytoplasmic tail on integrin clustering. Direct protein-protein interaction studies by surface plasmon resonance demonstrate that integrin beta1 cytoplasmic peptides self-associate in contrast to integrin beta3 cytoplasmic tails. Size exclusion chromatography and SDS-PAGE analysis of the peptides further show that the integrin beta1 cytoplasmic parts form oligomers and that they assume alpha helical conformation to the extent of about 13% and that this fraction is increased upon aggregation. Thus self-association of the integrin beta1 subunit cytoplasmic regions may be central to beta1 integrin clustering. 相似文献

We investigated in a colon adenocarcinoma cell line, the exclusive role of extracellular matrix (ECM) components in the absence of soluble factors regarding the integrin clustering processes, and their implication in cell adhesion, spreading and organization of the actin cytoskeleton. Caco-2 cells were shown to express at the plasma membrane 11 integrins, some of which (e.g. alpha3beta1, alpha5beta1, alpha6beta1/beta4, alpha8beta1 and alpha(v)beta1/beta5/beta6) were identified for the first time in this cell line. Cell adhesion and spreading processes were governed essentially by lamellipodium, the regulation of which was shown to be induced by two types of integrin clustering processes mediated by ECM proteins alone. During these phenomena, alpha2beta1, alpha(v)beta6 and alpha6beta1 integrins, the Caco-2 cell specific receptors of type IV collagen, fibronectin and laminin, respectively, were clustered in small focal complexes (point contacts), whereas alpha(v)beta5, the vitronectin receptor in this cell line, was aggregated in focal adhesions. The two levels of integrin clustering induced only F-actin cortical web formation organized in thin radial and/or circular filaments. We conclude thus that ECM components per se through their action on integrin clustering are involved in cell adhesion, cortical actin cytoskeleton organization and cell spreading. 相似文献

In this study, we used clone A, a human colon carcinoma cell line, to characterize those integrins that mediate colon carcinoma adhesion to laminin. Monoclonal antibodies specific for the human beta 1 subunit inhibited clone A adhesion to laminin. They also precipitated a complex of surface proteins that exhibited an electrophoretic behavior characteristic of alpha 2 beta 1 and alpha 3 beta 1. A monoclonal antibody specific for alpha 2 (PIH5) blocked clone A adhesion to laminin, as well as to collagen I. An alpha 3-specific antibody (P1B5) had no effect on clone A adhesion to laminin, even though it can block the adhesion of other cell types to laminin. Thus, the alpha 2 beta 1 integrin can function as both a laminin and collagen I receptor on clone A cells. Although these cells express alpha 3 beta 1, an established laminin receptor, they do not appear to use it to mediate laminin adhesion. In addition, the monoclonal antibody GoH3, which recognizes the alpha 6 integrin subunit, also inhibited carcinoma adhesion to laminin but not to fibronectin or collagen I. This antibody precipitated the alpha 6 subunit in association with the beta 4 subunit. There was no evidence of alpha 6 beta 1 association on these cells. In summary, the results obtained in this study indicate that multiple integrin alpha subunits, in association with two distinct beta subunits, are involved in colon carcinoma adhesion to laminin. Based on the behavior of alpha 3 beta 1 and alpha 2 beta 1, the results also suggest that cells can regulate the ability of a specific integrin to mediate adhesion. 相似文献

Galectins are a taxonomically widespread family of galactose-binding proteins of which galectin-3 is known to modulate cell adhesion. Using single cell force spectroscopy, the contribution of galectin-3 to the adhesion of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells to different extracellular matrix proteins was investigated. When adhering to collagen-I or -IV, some cells rapidly entered an enhanced adhesion state, marked by a significant increase in the force required for cell detachment. Galectin-3-depleted cells had an increased probability of entering the enhanced adhesion state. Adhesion enhancement was specific to integrin alpha(2)beta(1), as it was not observed when cells adhered to extracellular matrix substrates by other integrins. The adhesion phenotype of galectin-3-depleted cells was mimicked in a galactoside-deficient MDCK cell line and could be complemented by the addition of recombinant galectin-3. We propose that galectin-3 influences integrin alpha(2)beta(1)-mediated adhesion complex formation by altering receptor clustering. 相似文献

Studies in B cells from Lyn-deficient mice have identified Lyn as both a kinetic accelerator and negative regulator of signaling through the BCR. The signaling properties of bone marrow-derived mast cells from Lyn(-/-) mice (Lyn(-/-) BMMCs) have also been explored, but their signaling phenotype remains controversial. We confirm that Lyn(-/-) BMMCs release more beta-hexosaminidase than wild-type BMMCs following FcepsilonRI cross-linking and show that multiple mast cell responses to FcepsilonRI cross-linking (the phosphorylation of receptor subunits and other proteins, the activation of phospholipase Cgamma isoforms, the mobilization of Ca(2+), the synthesis of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate, the activation of the alpha(4)beta(1) integrin, VLA-4) are slow to initiate in Lyn(-/-) BMMCs, but persist far longer than in wild-type cells. Mechanistic studies revealed increased basal as well as stimulated phosphorylation of the Src kinase, Fyn, in Lyn(-/-) BMMCs. Conversely, there was very little basal or stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation or activity of the inositol phosphatase, SHIP, in Lyn(-/-) BMMCs. We speculate that Fyn may substitute (inefficiently) for Lyn in signal initiation in Lyn(-/-) BMMCs. The loss of SHIP phosphorylation and activity very likely contributes to the increased levels of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate and the excess FcepsilonRI signaling in Lyn(-/-) BMMCs. The unexpected absence of the transient receptor potential channel, Trpc4, from Lyn(-/-) BMMCs may additionally contribute to their altered signaling properties. 相似文献

Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a nonreceptor protein tyrosine kinase that plays an important role in many cellular processes and is tyrosine phosphorylated after FcepsilonRI aggregation in mast cells. In mice, null mutation of the fak gene results in a lethal phenotype in which the embryos fail to develop past day 8.5 of gestation. To study the role of FAK in these mast cells, 8.5-day embryos were isolated and placed in culture with IL-3 and stem cell factor (SCF). Although FAK was not required for the development of mast cells in culture, the FAK(-/-) embryo-derived mast cells had several distinct characteristics. Compared with the controls, the mast cells that lack FAK were less metachromatic and by electron microscopy had granules that appeared largely electron lucid, although their histamine content was unchanged. The FAK-deficient mast cells had a reduction in the content of chondroitin/dermatan sulfate, the major glycosaminoglycan component of the granular matrix. The FAK-deficient cells had fewer microvilli that were fused with each other, giving the cell surface a ruffled appearance. There was also a 3-fold increase in the number of cells highly expressing beta(7) integrin. However, signal transduction from the high affinity IgE receptor for the secretion of histamine was similar in the wild-type, heterozygote, and the FAK-deficient cells. The FcepsilonRI-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin, Crk-associated tyrosine kinase substrate (CAS), and mitogen-activated protein kinase proteins was independent of FAK. These results indicate that FAK plays a role in regulating the glycosaminoglycan content of the secretory granules and influences the cell surface morphology of mast cells. 相似文献

Aggregation of the high affinity receptor for IgE (FcepsilonRI) induces activation of mast cells. In this study we show that upon low intensity stimulation of FcepsilonRI with monomeric IgE, IgE plus anti-IgE, or IgE plus low Ag, Lyn (a Src family kinase) positively regulates degranulation, cytokine production, and survival, whereas Lyn works as a negative regulator of high intensity stimulation with IgE plus high Ag. Low intensity stimulation suppressed Lyn kinase activity and its association with FcepsilonRI beta subunit, whereas high intensity stimulation enhanced Lyn activity and its association with FcepsilonRI beta. The latter induced much higher levels of FcepsilonRI beta phosphorylation and Syk activity than the former. Downstream positive signaling molecules, such as Akt and p38, were positively and negatively regulated by Lyn upon low and high intensity stimulations, respectively. In contrast, the negative regulators, SHIP and Src homology 2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase-1, interacted with FcepsilonRI beta, and their phosphorylation was controlled by Lyn. Therefore, we conclude that Lyn-mediated positive vs negative regulation depends on the intensity of the stimuli. Studies of mutant FcepsilonRI beta showed that FcepsilonRI beta subunit-ITAM (ITAM motif) regulates degranulation and cytokine production positively and negatively depending on the intensity of FcepsilonRI stimulation. Furthermore, Lyn-mediated negative regulation was shown to be exerted via the FcepsilonRI beta-ITAM. 相似文献

Mast cells express the high affinity IgE receptor FcepsilonRI, which upon aggregation by multivalent antigens elicits signals that cause rapid changes within the mast cell and in the surrounding tissue. We previously showed that FcepsilonRI aggregation caused a rapid increase in phosphorylation of both Fer and Fps/Fes kinases in bone marrow-derived mast cells. In this study, we report that FcepsilonRI aggregation leads to increased Fer/Fps kinase activities and that Fer phosphorylation downstream of FcepsilonRI is independent of Syk, Fyn, and Gab2 but requires Lyn. Activated Fer/Fps readily phosphorylate the C terminus of platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1 (Pecam-1) on immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs) and a non-ITIM residue (Tyr(700)) in vitro and in transfected cells. Mast cells devoid of Fer/Fps kinase activities display a reduction in FcepsilonRI aggregation-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of Pecam-1, with no defects in recruitment of Shp1/Shp2 phosphatases observed. Lyn-deficient mast cells display a dramatic reduction in Pecam-1 phosphorylation at Tyr(685) and a complete loss of Shp2 recruitment, suggesting a role as an initiator kinase for Pecam-1. Consistent with previous studies of Pecam-1-deficient mast cells, we observe an exaggerated degranulation response in mast cells lacking Fer/Fps kinases at low antigen dosages. Thus, Lyn and Fer/Fps kinases cooperate to phosphorylate Pecam-1 and activate Shp1/Shp2 phosphatases that function in part to limit mast cell activation. 相似文献

Activation of beta1 integrins induces cell-cell adhesion 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Integrins are highly regulated receptors that can function in both cell-substrate and cell-cell adhesion. We have found that the activating anti-beta1 mAb, 12G10, can specifically and rapidly induce both cell-substrate and cell-cell adhesion of HT-1080 human fibrosarcoma and other cell types. Binding of mAb 12G10 induced clustering of cell-surface integrins, and the preferential localization of beta1 integrins expressing the 12G10 epitope at cell-cell adhesion sites. Fab fragments of mAb 12G10 induced HT-1080 cell-cell adhesion as effectively as did intact antibodies, suggesting that integrin clustering was not due to direct antibody crosslinking. Latrunculin B, an inhibitor of F-actin polymerization, inhibited cell-cell adhesion but not the clustering of integrins. Results from a novel, two-color cell-cell adhesion assay suggested that nonactivated cells can bind to activated cells and that integrin activation-induced HT-1080 cell-cell adhesion minimally requires the interaction of activated alpha2beta1 with nonactivated alpha3beta1. These findings suggest that HT-1080 cell-cell adhesion induced by integrin activation require a signaling process involving integrin clustering and the subsequent organization of the cytoskeleton. Integrin activation could therefore play a key role in cell-cell adhesion. 相似文献
