Lymphocyte function-associated Ag-1 (LFA-1) or CD11a/CD18 mediates lymphocyte adhesion to cultured vascular endothelial cells (EC). Thus, LFA-1 likely plays a major role in lymphocyte migration out of the blood, but there is little information on this in vivo. Small peritoneal exudate lymphocytes (sPEL) and lymph node (LN) lymphoblasts adhere to cytokine-activated EC and preferentially migrate to cutaneous inflammatory sites. The role of LFA-1 in the adherence and in vivo migration of these T cells was determined. Because of a lack of anti-rat LFA-1, mAb were prepared to rat T cells. One mAb, TA-3, inhibited homotypic aggregation; T cell proliferation to Ag, alloantigens, and mitogens; stained all leukocytes; and immunoprecipitated 170- and 95-kDa polypeptides from lymphocytes and neutrophils. TA-3 binding to lymphocytes also required Ca2+, but not Mg2+. Thus, TA-3 appears to react with rat LFA-1. TA-3 inhibited spleen T cell adhesion to unstimulated EC by 30% and to IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, IL-1 alpha, and LPS stimulated EC by 50 to 60% but inhibited sPEL EC adhesion by only 10%. TA-3 also strongly inhibited anti-CD3-stimulated LN T cell adherence. The migration of spleen T cells to delayed-type hypersensitivity and skin sites injected with LPS, poly I:C, IFN-gamma, IFN-alpha/beta, and TNF was inhibited by 72 to 88% by TA-3, and was decreased by 50% to peripheral LN. TA-3 caused less but still 50 to 60% inhibition of sPEL migration to inflamed skin. Lymphoblast migration to skin was inhibited 40 to 80% and to PLN by 30%. Migration of lymphocytes from all sources to mesenteric LN was inhibited by 32 to 60%. In conclusion, LFA-1 mediates much of the adherence of spleen T cells and lymphoblasts to EC in vitro, most of the migration of these cells to dermal inflammation and about 50% of the homing of LN and spleen T cells to peripheral and mesenteric LN. sPEL are less dependent on LFA-1 for adhesion to EC in vitro and for migration to inflamed skin and LN in vivo.  相似文献

Murine anti-CD14 mAb which recognize different CD14 epitopes induced marked homotypic adhesion of normal human monocytes. Induction of aggregation by anti-CD14 mAb required Mg2+, occurred at an optimal temperature of 37 degrees C, but not at 4 degrees C, and exhibited a kinetics which differed from adhesion triggered by IFN-gamma and anti-CD43 mAb. Monocyte adhesion induced by anti-CD14 mAb required neither Fcy gamma R engagement nor cross-linking of CD14, because adhesion was induced by F(ab)'2 fragments, as well as by monovalent F(ab) fragments of anti-CD14 mAb. mAb to CD11a, CD18, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), but not antibodies to CD11b and CD11c, inhibited monocyte adhesion induced by CD14 engagement. These results indicate that CD14-dependent adhesion is mediated by lymphocyte function-associated Ag-1/ICAM-1 interactions. This was confirmed by the absence of aggregation in anti-CD14-stimulated cells from a patient with leukocyte adhesion deficiency. Monocyte adhesion upon CD14 engagement was blocked by an inhibitor of protein kinases, sphingosine. This suggests that protein kinases play a role in the intracellular signaling pathway(s) which couple CD14 to lymphocyte function-associated Ag-1/ICAM-1.  相似文献

We have previously shown a novel galactose/N-acetylgalactosamine specific lectin activity (Hodgkin's disease (HD) lectin) on the surface of cultured HD cells (lines L428, its variants, and line L540) to mediate lymphocyte adhesion. We here demonstrate that both surface membrane-bound and secreted HD lectin activities participate in the activation of agglutinated lymphocytes. Among known adhesion molecules expressed by the HD cells, only the intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) contributed to this activation as an alternative PBL binding site. As yet we have not identified the cellular ligand(s) for the HD lectin on the lymphocyte surface. Pretreatment of lymphocytes with mAb to the accessory molecules CD2, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD11b, or CD11c did not interfere with their response to HD cells. mAb to CD11a (LFA-1), the alleged ligand of ICAM-1, inhibited the ICAM-1 but not the HD lectin-mediated lymphocyte stimulation. Although lymphocyte binding could proceed via either pathway, lymphocyte activation always depended upon factors secreted by the HD cells, one of which we identified as a soluble form of the HD lectin based on its shared properties with the membrane-bound form including immunologic cross-recognition and carbohydrate-binding specificity. Although HD cell-conditioned medium alone stimulated lymphocytes, HD cell plasma membranes could compensate for low concentrations of this medium. In addition, resting lymphocytes, normally unresponsive, were triggered into DNA synthesis by growth medium when cocultured with HD cell membranes. The unique functions of the surface-expressed HD lectin and its soluble counterpart as lymphocyte adhesion molecule and mitogen might be physiologically relevant to the severe immunodeficiencies occurring in patients with HD.  相似文献

The leukocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) integrin (CD11a/CD18) is an important adhesion molecule for lymphocyte migration and the initiation of an immune response. At the cell surface, LFA-1 activity can be regulated by divalent cations that enhance receptor affinity but also by membrane clustering induced by treatment of cells with substances such as phorbol esters. Membrane clustering leads to increased LFA-1 avidity. We report here that LFA-1-mediated binding of mouse thymocytes or activated T lymphocytes to intercellular adhesion molecule 1 can be rapidly induced by clustering of membrane rafts using antibodies to the glycosylphophatidylinositol-anchored molecule CD24 or cholera toxin (CTx). CD24 and CD18 were found to co-localize in rafts and cross-linking with CTx lead to enhanced LFA-1 clustering. We observed that disruption of raft integrity by lowering the membrane cholesterol content abolished the CTx and the phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-induced LFA-1 binding but left the ability to activate LFA-1 with Mg(2+)/EGTA unimpaired. In contrast to activation with Mg(2+)/EGTA, activation via raft clustering was dependent on PI3-kinase, required cytoskeletal mobility, and was accompanied by Tyr phosphorylation of a 18-kDa protein. Our results support the notion that rafts as preformed adhesion platforms could be important for the rapid regulation of lymphocyte adhesion.  相似文献

Our previous studies have demonstrated that cultured human endothelial cells (EC) provide costimulation to PHA-activated CD4+ T cells, measured as augmentation of IL-2 synthesis, through a cell contact-department pathway. Here we show that fixed and living EC provide comparable degrees of costimulation to CD4+ T cell populations, indicating that EC costimulation does not depend upon active metabolism. EC achieve these effects in part by utilizing lymphocyte function-associated antigen-3 (LFA-3) to interact with T cell CD2 as shown by observations that EC augmentation of IL-2 is partially (50-70%) blocked by eight of eight mAb tested which recognize LFA-3; that purified phosphatidylinositol-linked LFA-3 (PI-LFA-3) can also provide costimulation to CD4+ T cells; and that there is a delay of the EC effect on CD4+ T cells which express low levels of CD2 compared to those which express high levels of CD2. However, three lines of evidence suggest that EC also utilize at least one additional ligand. First, there is incomplete replacement of the EC effect by PI-LFA-3 such that the costimulatory ability of EC combined with PI-LFA-3 is additive at all concentrations of PI-LFA-3 tested. Second, costimulation by PI-LFA-3, but not by EC, is fully inhibited by anti-CD2 or anti-LFA-3 mAb. Finally, costimulation by PI-LFA-3, but not by EC, is completely suppressed by cyclosporine A. We have not formally identified the second ligand but it does not appear to be intercellular adhesion molecule-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, CD44, or B7/BB1.  相似文献

CD73, otherwise known as ecto-5′-nucleotidase, is a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol–linked 70-kD molecule expressed on different cell types, including vascular endothelial cells (EC) and certain subtypes of lymphocytes. There is strong evidence for lymphocyte CD73 having a role in several immunological phenomena such as lymphocyte activation, proliferation, and adhesion to endothelium, but the physiological role of CD73 in other cell types is less clear. To compare the biological characteristics of CD73 in different cell types, we have studied the structure, function, and surface modulation of CD73 on lymphocytes and EC. CD73 molecules on lymphocytes are shed from the cell surface as a consequence of triggering with an antiCD73 mAb, mimicking ligand binding. In contrast, triggering of endothelial CD73 does not have any effect on its expression. Lymphocyte CD73 is susceptible to phosphatidylinositol phospholipase, whereas only a small portion of CD73 on EC could be removed by this enzyme. Furthermore, CD73 on EC was unable to deliver a tyrosine phosphorylation inducing signal upon mAb triggering, whereas triggering of lymphocyte CD73 can induce tyrosine phosphorylation. Despite the functional differences, CD73 molecules on lymphocytes and EC were practically identical structurally, when studied at the protein, mRNA, and cDNA level. Thus, CD73 is an interesting example of a molecule which lacks structural variants but yet has a wide diversity of biological functions. We suggest that the ligand- induced shedding of lymphocyte CD73 represents an important and novel means of controlling lymphocyte– EC interactions.  相似文献

The interaction of lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) with its ligands mediates multiple cell adhesion processes of capital importance during immune responses. We have obtained three anti-ICAM-3 mAbs which recognize two different epitopes (A and B) on the intercellular adhesion molecule-3 (ICAM-3) as demonstrated by sequential immunoprecipitation and cross-competitive mAb-binding experiments. Immunoaffinity purified ICAM-3-coated surfaces were able to support T lymphoblast attachment upon cell stimulation with both phorbol esters and cross-linked CD3, as well as by mAb engagement of the LFA-1 molecule with the activating anti-LFA-1 NKI-L16 mAb. T cell adhesion to purified ICAM-3 was completely inhibited by cell pretreatment with mAbs to the LFA-1 alpha (CD11a) or the LFA-beta (CD18) integrin chains. Anti-ICAM-3 mAbs specific for epitope A, but not those specific for epitope B, were able to trigger T lymphoblast homotypic aggregation. ICAM-3-mediated cell aggregation was dependent on the LFA-1/ICAM-1 pathway as demonstrated by blocking experiments with mAbs specific for the LFA-1 and ICAM-1 molecules. Furthermore, immunofluorescence studies on ICAM-3-induced cell aggregates revealed that both LFA-1 and ICAM-1 were mainly located at intercellular boundaries. ICAM-3 was located at cellular uropods, which in small aggregates appeared to be implicated in cell-cell contacts, whereas in large aggregates it appeared to be excluded from cell-cell contact areas. Experiments of T cell adhesion to a chimeric ICAM-1-Fc molecule revealed that the proaggregatory anti-ICAM-3 HP2/19 mAb was able to increase T lymphoblast attachment to ICAM-1, suggesting that T cell aggregation induced by this mAb could be mediated by increasing the avidity of LFA-1 for ICAM-1. Moreover, the HP2/19 mAb was costimulatory with anti-CD3 mAb for T lymphocyte proliferation, indicating that enhancement of T cell activation could be involved in ICAM-3-mediated adhesive phenomena. Altogether, our results indicate that ICAM-3 has a regulatory role on the LFA-1/ICAM-1 pathway of intercellular adhesion.  相似文献

The role of leukocyte function-associated Ag-1 (LFA-1) in intercellular adhesion is well documented. Previously, we demonstrated that the LFA-1 molecule (CD11a/CD18) can also regulate the induction of proliferation of peripheral blood T cells. In these studies, we observed opposite effects of antibodies against CD11a (LFA-1-alpha-chain) or CD18 (LFA-1-beta-chain). Here, we determined the effects of anti-CD11a and anti-CD18 mAb on proliferation of cloned influenza virus-specific T cells. Anti-CD18 mAb had similar inhibiting effects on the proliferative response of T cell clones induced by immobilized anti-CD3 mAb as it had on the response of peripheral blood T cells. In contrast to its costimulatory effect on resting peripheral blood T cells, anti-CD11a mAb did not increase the proliferation of cloned T cells. Similar differences in effects of anti-CD11a and anti-CD18 mAb were observed when proliferation of the T cell clones was induced by immobilized anti-TCR mAb. When proliferation was induced by influenza virus presented by monocytes as APC, both anti-CD11a and anti-CD18 mAb inhibited T cell proliferation. However, when EBV-transformed B cells were used as APC, neither anti-CD11a nor anti-CD18 mAb inhibited proliferation. These results demonstrate that the effects of antibodies against CD11a (LFA-1-alpha) or CD18 (LFA-1-beta) on T cell proliferation depend on 1) the stage of activation of the T cells, 2) the activation stimulus and its requirement for intercellular adhesion involving LFA-1, and 3) the type of cell used to present Ag.  相似文献

Intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-3, a recently described counter- receptor for the lymphocyte function-associated antigen (LFA)-1 integrin, appears to play an important role in the initial phase of immune response. We have previously described the involvement of ICAM-3 in the regulation of LFA-1/ICAM-1-dependent cell-cell interaction of T lymphoblasts. In this study, we further investigated the functional role of ICAM-3 in other leukocyte cell-cell interactions as well as the molecular mechanisms regulating these processes. We have found that ICAM-3 is also able to mediate LFA-1/ICAM-1-independent cell aggregation of the leukemic JM T cell line and the LFA-1/CD18-deficient HAFSA B cell line. The ICAM-3-induced cell aggregation of JM and HAFSA cells was not affected by the addition of blocking mAb specific for a number of cell adhesion molecules such as CD1 1a/CD18, ICAM-1 (CD54), CD2, LFA-3 (CD58), very late antigen alpha 4 (CD49d), and very late antigen beta 1 (CD29). Interestingly, some mAb against the leukocyte tyrosine phosphatase CD45 were able to inhibit this interaction. Moreover, they also prevented the aggregation induced on JM T cells by the proaggregatory anti-LFA-1 alpha NKI-L16 mAb. In addition, inhibitors of tyrosine kinase activity also abolished ICAM-3 and LFA-1- mediated cell aggregation. The induction of tyrosine phosphorylation through ICAM-3 and LFA-1 antigens was studied by immunofluorescence, and it was found that tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins were preferentially located at intercellular boundaries upon the induction of cell aggregation by either anti-ICAM-3 or anti-LFA-1 alpha mAb. Western blot analysis revealed that the engagement of ICAM-3 or LFA-1 with activating mAb enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation of polypeptides of 125, 70, and 38 kD on JM cells. This phenomenon was inhibited by preincubation of JM cells with those anti-CD45 mAb that prevented cell aggregation. Altogether these results indicate that CD45 tyrosine phosphatase plays a relevant role in the regulation of both intracellular signaling and cell adhesion induced through ICAM-3 and beta 2 integrins.  相似文献

Interaction of CD2 with its ligand, LFA-3, in human T cell proliferation   总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9  
Recently, it has been demonstrated that lymphocyte function-associated Ag (LFA-3) is a natural ligand for CD2 and that this receptor-ligand interaction functions in cell-cell adhesion. In this report, we demonstrate that LFA-3 plays a role in T cell activation. L cells were transfected with human genomic DNA and sorted for expression of LFA-3. We demonstrate that LFA-3+ L cells, together with anti-CD3 mAb or with suboptimal doses of PHA, stimulate proliferation of human peripheral blood T cells. Furthermore, thymocyte proliferation was induced by LFA-3+ L cells and suboptimal doses of PHA. Proliferation was inhibited by mAb directed against either CD2 or LFA-3. Stimulation of thymocytes by the combination of PHA and LFA-3+ L cells resulted in the increased expression of the IL-2R, as well as of the surface Ag 4F2, transferrin receptor, and HLA-DR. These data support the conclusion that LFA-3 plays a role in CD2-dependent T cell activation. LFA-3 is widely distributed and is expressed on all APC and target cells. Thus, the ability of the CD2/LFA-3 interaction to costimulate with an anti-CD3 mAb suggests that the CD2/LFA-3 interaction may be involved not only in an Ag-independent alternate pathway of T cell activation but also in Ag-specific T cell activation.  相似文献

The leukocyte function-associated molecule-1 (LFA-1) plays a key role in cell adhesion processes between cells of the immune system. We investigated the mechanism that may regulate LFA-1-ligand interactions, which result in cell-cell adhesion. To this end we employed an intriguing anti-LFA-1 alpha mAb (NKI-L16), capable of inducing rather than inhibiting cell adhesion. Aggregation induced by NKI-L16 or Fab fragments thereof is not the result of signals transmitted through LFA-1. The antibody was found to recognize a unique Ca2(+)-dependent activation epitope of LFA-1, which is essentially absent on resting lymphocytes, but becomes induced upon in vitro culture. Expression of this epitope correlates well with the capacity of cells to rapidly aggregate upon stimulation by PMA or through the TCR/CD3 complex, indicating that expression of the NKI-L16 epitope is essential for LFA-1 to mediate adhesion. However, expression of the NKI-L16 epitope in itself is not sufficient for cell binding since cloned T lymphocytes express the NKI-L16 epitope constitutively at high levels, but do not aggregate spontaneously. Based on these observations we propose the existence of three distinct forms of LFA-1: (a) an inactive form, which does not, or only partially exposes the NKI-L16 epitope, found on resting cells; (b) an intermediate, NKI-L16+ form, expressed by mature or previously activated cells; and (c) an active (NKI-L16+) form of LFA-1, capable of high affinity ligand binding, obtained after specific triggering of a lymphocyte through the TCR/CD3 complex, by PMA, or by binding of NKI-L16 antibodies.  相似文献

Patients with the leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) syndrome have a genetic defect in the common beta 2-chain (CD18) of the leukocyte integrins. This defect can result in the absence of cell surface expression of all three members of the leukocyte integrins. We investigated the capacity of T cell clones obtained from the blood of an LAD patient and of normal T cell clones to adhere to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (EC). Adhesion of the number of LAD T cells to unstimulated EC was approximately half of that of leukocyte function-associated antigen (LFA)-1+ T cells. Stimulation of EC with human rTNF-alpha resulted in an average 2- and 2.5-fold increase in adhesion of LFA-1+ and LFA-1- cells, respectively. This effect was maximal after 24 h and lasted for 48 to 72 h. The involvement of surface structures known to participate in cell adhesion (integrins, CD44) was tested by blocking studies with mAb directed against these structures. Adhesion of LFA-1+ T cells to unstimulated EC was inhibited (average inhibition of 58%) with mAb to CD11a or CD18. Considerably less inhibition of adhesion occurred with mAb to CD11a or CD18 (average inhibition, 20%) when LFA-1+ T cells were incubated with rTNF-alpha-stimulated EC. The adhesion of LFA-1- T cells to EC stimulated with rTNF-alpha, but not to unstimulated EC, was inhibited (average inhibition, 56%) by incubation with a mAb directed to very late antigen (VLA)-4 (CDw49d). In contrast to LAD T cell clones and the LFA-1+ T cell line Jurkat, mAb to VLA-4 did not inhibit adhesion of normal LFA-1+ T cell clones to EC, whether or not the EC had been stimulated with rTNF-alpha. We conclude that the adhesion molecule pair LFA-1/intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 plays a major role in the adhesion of LFA-1+ T cell clones derived from normal individuals to unstimulated EC. Adhesion of LFA-1-T cells to TNF-alpha-stimulated EC is mediated by VLA-4/vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1 interactions. Since we were unable to reduce significantly the adhesion of cultured normal LFA-1+ T cells to 24 h with TNF-alpha-stimulated endothelium with antibodies that block LFA-1/ICAM-1 or VLA-4/VCAM-1 interactions, and lectin adhesion molecule-1 and endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 appeared not to be implicated, other as yet undefined cell surface structures are likely to participate in T cell/EC interactions.  相似文献

The CD2 T lymphocyte glycoprotein surface molecule mediates both cell to cell adhesion and T cell activation, two processes that are involved in the spread of HIV infection. Treatment of chronically HIV-infected PBMC with anti-CD2 mAb has been shown to induce the expression of infectious virus from these cultures. In this study we investigated the mechanisms whereby anti-CD2 antibodies stimulate viral production. We demonstrate that treatment of transiently transfected T lymphocytes with anti-CD2 antibodies results in activation of the HIV long terminal repeat. Furthermore, CAT assays using mutated HIV long terminal repeat-CAT constructs and gel shift assays demonstrate that this activation is dependent on the NF-kappa B enhancer. These studies suggest that interaction of CD2 with its natural ligand, LFA-3, may play a role in regulation of HIV expression.  相似文献

CD2 (T11, the T cell E receptor), a nonpolymorphic 47- to 55-kDa glycoprotein, is a T cell-specific surface protein that plays an important role in T lymphocyte adhesion, signal transduction, and differentiation. A natural ligand of CD2 is lymphocyte function associated Ag-3 (LFA-3 (CD58)), a widely expressed glycoprotein of 50 to 70 kDa. The physiologic interaction of CD2 with LFA-3 functions to increase intercellular adhesion and plays a role in T cell activation. This interaction, however, in the absence of other stimuli, has not previously been shown to induce intracellular signals such as Ca2+ mobilization or IL-2 production. To investigate whether cAMP may play a role in ligand-triggered CD2-mediated signal transduction, we have studied the ability of purified LFA-3 and anti-CD2 mAb to induce changes in intracellular cAMP content in murine Ag-specific T cell hybridomas that stably express wild-type and mutated human CD2 molecules. By using a RIA sensitive to the femtomolar range and specific for cAMP, we demonstrate that purified LFA-3, like anti-CD2 mAb, is capable of inducing marked, transient increases in the intracellular concentration of cAMP. Presentation of purified LFA-3, like anti-CD2 mAb, is capable of inducing marked, transient increases in the intracellular concentration of cAMP. Presentation of purified LFA-3 alone to CD2-expressing hybridoma cells, however, did not stimulate phosphatidylinositol turnover nor IL-2 production. The cytoplasmic domain of CD2 is necessary for these ligand-induced cAMP changes, demonstrating that LFA-3 binding to CD2 transduces a signal to the cell. Experiments using the phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methyl-xanthine showed that CD2-mediated regulation of cAMP levels occurs primarily by the stimulation of cAMP production rather than by the inhibition of cAMP degradation. These results demonstrate that the interaction of LFA-3 with CD2, in the absence of other stimuli, is capable of initiating intracellular biochemical changes and suggest that CD2/LFA-3 interactions may regulate T cell function at least in part through the generation of intracellular cAMP.  相似文献

Recent studies have implicated sulfated polysaccharide (SP) recognition in a range of cell adhesion systems. Inasmuch as the CD2 (E rosette receptor, T11, LFA-2) molecule of human T lymphocytes is a cell surface glycoprotein involved in the adhesion of T cells to various target cells the possibility that CD2 binds SP was investigated. It was found that E rosetting of human T lymphocytes, a phenomenon involving CD2, was readily inhibited by the SP dextran sulfate (DxS) and, to a lesser extent, by the sulfated polymer polyvinyl sulfate whereas 11 other SP had no effect on E rosetting, this effect occurring at the T cell level. mAb binding studies revealed that DxS and polyvinyl sulfate, but none of the other SP tested, inhibited the binding to T cells of the anti-CD2 mAb OKT11 and anti-T112 but augmented expression of the T113 epitope of the CD2 molecule. In contrast, DxS had little or no effect on the binding of anti-CD3, -CD4, -CD8, -Pgp-1 and WT31 (TCR alpha/beta) mAb. Direct evidence that CD2 binds DxS was demonstrated by the ability of DxS-coupled fibers to totally deplete the CD2 Ag from lysates of radiolabeled human T lymphocytes and by the quantitative recovery of the CD2 Ag in fiber eluates. Control fibers coupled with other SP bound little or no CD2. Collectively, the data indicate that the CD2 molecule specifically binds DxS and suggest that a potential target cell ligand for CD2 is a sulfated carbohydrate structure.  相似文献

Intracellular signals are required to activate the leukocyte-specific adhesion receptor lymphocyte function-associated molecule-1 (LFA-1; CD11a/CD18) to bind its ligand, intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). In this study, we investigated the role of the cytoskeleton in LFA-1 activation and demonstrate that filamentous actin (F-actin) can both enhance and inhibit LFA-1-mediated adhesion, depending on the distribution of LFA-1 on the cell surface. We observed that LFA-1 is already clustered on the cell surface of interleukin-2/phytohemagglutinin-activated lymphocytes. These cells bind strongly ICAM-1 and disruption of the actin cytoskeleton inhibits adhesion. In contrast to interleukin-2/phytohemagglutinin-activated peripheral blood lymphocytes, resting lymphocytes, which display a homogenous cell surface distribution of LFA-1, respond poorly to intracellular signals to bind ICAM-1, unless the actin cytoskeleton is disrupted. On resting peripheral blood lymphocytes, uncoupling of LFA-1 from the actin cytoskeleton induces clustering of LFA-1 and this, along with induction of a high-affinity form of LFA-1, via "inside-out" signaling, results in enhanced binding to ICAM-1, which is dependent on intact intermediate filaments, microtubules, and metabolic energy. We hypothesize that linkage of LFA-1 to cytoskeletal elements prevents movement of LFA-1 over the cell surface, thus inhibiting clustering and strong ligand binding. Release from these cytoskeletal elements allows lateral movement and activation of LFA-1, resulting in ligand binding and "outside-in" signaling, that subsequently stimulates actin polymerization and stabilizes cell adhesion.  相似文献

We have recently shown that engagement of the human monocytic Ag CD14 by murine mAb induces lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1/intercellular adhesion molecule-1-dependent homotypic adhesion. To determine whether CD14 plays a role in monocyte-T cell interactions, we tested the effect of anti-CD14 mAb on the proliferation of human T cells. Our results show that anti-CD14 mAb strongly inhibited T cell proliferation induced by Ag, anti-CD3 mAb, and mitogenic lectins. Inhibition by anti-CD14 mAb was epitope-dependent and required physical contact between monocytes and T cells. CD14 engagement did not affect IL-2R expression or IL-2 synthesis but induced a state of unresponsiveness that was not IL-2 specific; proliferation of anti-CD3-activated T cell blasts in response to both IL-2 and IL-4 was abrogated by addition of monocytes preincubated with anti-CD14 mAb. Inhibition of T cell proliferation after engagement of CD14 on monocytes was likely to result from delivery of a negative signal to T cells, rather than from disruption of a costimulatory monocyte-derived signal, because incubation of monocytes with anti-CD14 mAb also inhibited monocyte-independent T cell proliferation induced by PMA and ionophore. These results, together, point to a role of CD14 in the monocyte-dependent regulation of T cell proliferation.  相似文献

The role of leukocyte function-associated Ag-1 (LFA-1, CD11a/CD18) and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1, CD54) interactions in human T cell and B cell collaboration was examined by studying the effect of mAb to these determinants on B cell proliferation and differentiation stimulated by culturing resting B cells with CD4+ T cells activated with immobilized mAb to the CD3 molecular complex. In this model system, mAb to either the alpha (CD11a) or beta (CD18) chain of LFA-1 or ICAM-1 (CD54) inhibited B cell responses significantly. The mAb did not directly inhibit B cell function, inasmuch as T cell-independent activation induced by formalinized Staphylococcus aureus and IL-2 was not suppressed. Moreover, DNA synthesis and IL-2 production by immobilized anti-CD3-stimulated CD4+ T cells were not suppressed by the mAb to LFA-1 or ICAM-1. Although the mAb to LFA-1 inhibited enhancement of IL-2 production by co-culture of immobilized anti-CD3-stimulated CD4+ T cells with B cells, addition of exogenous IL-2 or supernatants of mitogen-activated T cells could not abrogate the inhibitory effects of the mAb to LFA-1 or ICAM-1 on B cell responses. Inhibition was most marked when the mAb were present during the initial 24 h in culture. Immobilized anti-CD3-stimulated LFA-1-negative CD4+ T cell clones from a child with leukocyte adhesion deficiency could induce B cell responses, which were inhibited by mAb to LFA-1 or ICAM-1. These results indicate that the interactions between LFA-1 and ICAM-1 play an important role in mediating the collaboration between activated CD4+ T cells and B cells necessary for the induction of B cell proliferation and differentiation, and for enhancement of IL-2 production by CD4+ T cells. Moreover, the data are consistent with a model of T cell-B cell collaboration in which interactions between LFA-1 on resting B cells and ICAM-1 on activated CD4+ T cells play a critical role in initial T cell-dependent B cell activation.  相似文献

We have shown that intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) (CD54) positive cells are mainly responsible for the natural cytotoxic function of human blood lymphocytes. The evidences were the inhibition of cytotoxicity by anti-ICAM-1 (LB-2) monoclonal antibodies (mAb) and the loss of lytic activity after removal of the ICAM-1+ cells. In addition, the cytotoxic potential of the separated ICAM-1- lymphocyte population after activation appeared in parallel with the expression of this molecule. The ICAM-1+ lymphocytes lysed both LFA-1 (CD11a/CD18 or Leu-CAMa) positive and negative cell lines, and pretreatment of the effectors with the LB-2 mAb also inhibited the lysis of LFA-1- targets. The results point to a yet unrecognized role of ICAM-1 on the lymphocytes. Kinetics experiments suggested that pretreatment of lymphocytes with alpha-ICAM-1 (LB-2) mAb did not inhibit the promptly established lytic interactions but influenced later events, recycling and/or recruitment of effectors. It is possible that the cytotoxic potential is regulated by contacts between the members of the lymphocyte population and that these events occur via their ICAM-1 and LFA-1. Exposure of lymphocytes to NK-sensitive targets for 16 hr elevated their cytotoxic potential. The function of activated lymphocytes was not inhibited by the LB-2 mAb.  相似文献

The complex processes of cellular adhesion involve a variety of receptor to ligand interactions that are extremely important during the development of immune function. Lymphocyte activation by Ag or mitogen, CTL- and NK-mediated cytolysis, homing to lymphoid-associated tissue, and the attachment of lymphocytes to extracellular matrix proteins are all governed, at least in part, by cell surface adhesion receptors. During the analysis of mAb for the ability to block human cytotoxic T lymphocyte-mediated killing an inhibitory mAb was noted that caused rapid and vigorous aggregation among the CTL. This antibody, mAb L25, also induced aggregation among human T and B tumor cell lines. mAb L25 binds to an epitope on the alpha 4 subunit of the integrin protein VLA-4 and induced an adhesion event requiring divalent cations, energy, a fluid plasma membrane, and an intact cytoskeleton. The Ag-independent homotypic adhesion induced by mAb L25 was not inhibited by mAb to the lymphocyte function associated Ag-1 (CD11a/CD18), CD2, CD4, and CD8, or to their ligands ICAM-1, LFA-3, MHC class I, or MHC class II. We believe that these experiments suggest a role for VLA-4 in a novel system of leukocyte adhesion.  相似文献
