Adhesion molecules involved in the interaction of LGL/NK cells and human endothelial cells stimulated with Salmonella bacteria.

Previously we showed that pretreatment of LGL/NK or HUVE cells with Salmonella bacteria augments the adhesion of LGL/NK cells to endothelium. Here we analyse the roles of HUVEC adhesion molecules VCAM-1, ICAM-1 and E-selectin, and the counter-receptors VLA-4, LFA-1 and SLex in the increase of LGL/NK adhesion to HUVEC, stimulated with Salmonella Minnesota mR595 bacteria, LPS or TNF-alpha. On Salmonella-stimulated HUVEC, VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 were the major binding structures involved, and their effect was additive in monoclonal antibody inhibition experiments. We could demonstrate the induction of both structures on cultured HUVEC after 24 h of Salmonella stimulation in flow cytometric analysis. For Salmonella-stimulated LGL/NK, the principal binding structure was LFA-1. Stimulation of LGL/NK cells did not alter the expression of the adhesion structures (subunits CD11a/CD18, CD49d/CD29), as determined by flow cytometric analysis, and thus the increased adherence is presumably produced by an increased avidity of the receptors on LGL/NK cells. Pretreatment of endothelium or lymphocytes with various stimuli, including Salmonella bacteria or LPS, leads to an activation state which provides for characteristic anchorage sites for the increased migration of LGL/NK cells towards the site of inflammation.

Human blood dendritic cells exhibit a distinct T-cell-stimulating mechanism and differentiation pattern.

In this study, the mechanisms underlying stimulation of T-cell proliferation by human blood dendritic cells (BDC) and their differentiation have been defined with a panel of monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs). It was found that the MoAbs against LFA-1 (CD11a), CD11c, LFA-3 (CD58), ICAM-1 (CD54) or HLA-DR could significantly suppress T-cell proliferation in an allogeneic mixed lymphocyte reaction (P < 0.05), while being unable to inhibit clustering of BDC with T cells. Addition of anti-CD18 or CD45 MoAbs increased the size of clusters after 18 h of culture, but had no effect on the proliferation of T cells (P < 0.05). The suppressive effect of the MoAbs may be viewed not as an inhibition of contact between BDC and T cells, but rather as a blocking of co-stimulatory signals for T-cell activation, which are mediated by interaction of the adhesion molecules. After depleting the BDC preparations of monocytes, we used a double staining in FACS analysis to demonstrate that BDC do not express specific T (CD3), B (CD20 and CD21) and myeloid cell markers (CD11b, CD13 and CD14), but abundant class II antigens. This pattern remained unaltered after 8 days of culture in the presence of 100 U/ml GM-CSF, although a threefold increase of HLA-DQ and ICAM-1 molecules on the cultured cells was observed.

Increased expression of ICAM-1, E-selectin, and VCAM-1 by cultured human endothelial cells upon exposure to haptens.

Contact allergens induce several accessory signals which promote the activation of antigen-specific T cells. One of these signals is the increased expression of adhesion molecules on antigen-presenting cells and endothelial cells. Epicutaneous application of non-toxic doses of 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB) onto the skin of non-sensitized individuals elicited progressive staining for ICAM-1 on dermal microvascular endothelial cells. To elucidate the question of whether contact allergens can act directly on endothelial cells to elevate their expression of surface structures that bind leukocytes, confluent monolayers of human umbilical vein endothelial cells were incubated with the contact allergens NiSO4, CoSO4 or DNFB. The ICAM-1, E-selectin and HLA-DR expression were quantified by immunofluorescence flow cytometric analysis. Furthermore VCAM-1, E-selectin and ICAM-1 transcription were demonstrated by Northern blot hybridization. Constitutive ICAM-1 expression on HUVEC increased similarly to that obtained after LPS (20 micrograms/ml) stimulation after 4 and 24 hours of incubation with 1 or 2 mM NiSO4 or CoSO4, respectively. Pulse-stimulation with 100 or 500 nM DNFB resulted in a modest but significant increase of ICAM-1-positive cells. E-selectin and VCAM-1 were not expressed on untreated HUVEC; 4 to 6 hours exposure to nickel sulfate and LPS resulted in a potent induction of E-selectin and VCAM-1 expression. DNFB and PMA had no significant influence on VCAM-1 expression. None of the tested contact allergens was capable of inducing HLA-DR expression on EC at 48 to 72 hours. Enhanced expression of adhesion molecules may be an important early unspecific mechanism for induction and elicitation of a contact dermatitis.

Interactions of leukocyte integrins with intercellular adhesion molecule 1 in the production of inflammatory vascular injury in vivo. The Shwartzman reaction revisited.

We have investigated the role of leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions in a rabbit model of hemorrhagic vasculitis. Microvascular injury was produced in the skin by intradermal injection of Salmonella typhosa endotoxin followed 20 h later by intravenous zymosan, which activates complement. Hemorrhagic necrosis develops in the "prepared" skin sites which is characterized by microthrombi, neutrophil aggregation, platelet and fibrin deposition, and massive extravasation of erythrocytes. Hemorrhage in these Shwartzman-like lesions was quantitated by 99mTc-labeled autologous erythrocytes. Inhibition of the hemorrhagic response was obtained with mAb reactive with ICAM-1 as well as mAb against the leukocyte CD18 when either was administered intravenously just before intravenous zymosan challenge. This observation suggests that an intravascular event occurring in response to complement activation is required for the development of hemorrhagic vasculitis. We hypothesize that agents which successfully prepare the skin for the Shwartzman response after their intradermal injection do so by promoting increased intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) expression on the vascular endothelium. Activation of complement then induces CD11/CD18 expression on circulating leukocytes thus producing an intravascular CD11/CD18-ICAM-1 (leukocyte-endothelium) adhesion event. Inhibition of intravascular leukocyte-leukocyte aggregation with mAb against CD11b (Mac-1) showed partial inhibition of hemorrhage, while mAb against CD11a (LFA-1) showed no inhibitory activity. This type of cytokine-primed, neutrophil-dependent vascular damage may be a model of human vasculitic processes where microvascular damage is produced in the absence of immune-complex deposition.

Expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 in human renal allografts.

The expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in 11 human renal allograft biopsies and 3 normal kidney specimens was investigated by immunocytochemistry. VCAM-1 expression was correlated with the degree of CD3+ T cell infiltration and the clinicopathologic diagnosis of acute rejection. CD3+ infiltrates were seen in all biopsies with rejection, but not in normal biopsies or one with acute tubular necrosis, and were accompanied by CD68+ monocyte/macrophage infiltrates. In normal biopsies, VCAM-1 was present on occasional tubules, where its expression was patchy and restricted to the basolateral surface of cells with slight cytoplasmic staining. The total number of tubules expressing VCAM-1 significantly increased in specimens infiltrated with CD3+ T cells. Moreover, in these infiltrated biopsy specimens, VCAM-1 was present throughout the cytoplasm of tubular cells concentrated on the basolateral surface. VCAM-1 was also observed on vascular endothelial cells where its expression correlated with the degree of CD3+ infiltrate. Mean scores (0 to 3+) for endothelial VCAM-1 expression increased from 0 (CD3+ score, 0) to a mean score of 2.25 in association with CD3+ T cell infiltrates (CD3+ score, 3). Endothelial VCAM-1 was predominantly on vessels in areas of infiltrate, including peritubular capillaries, venules, and arterioles, but was notably absent on glomerular endothelium. VCAM-1 also stained mesangial cells in an occasional CD3+ infiltrated specimen. It was concluded that the expression of VCAM-1 is increased on renal tubules and renovascular endothelium in rejecting renal allografts in association with CD3+ infiltrates.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Multi-omics-based study on the biological characteristics of kidney renal deficiency and blood stasis in ankylosing spondylitis.

OBJECIVE: To explore the objective biological evidence for the classification and diagnosis of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndromes in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) using multiomics analysis. METHODS: Patients with AS were categorized into kidney deficiency and blood stasis syndrome (SX group) and damp-heat stasis syndrome (SR group). Transcriptomic sequencing and quantitative plasma proteomics were performed on patients with AS and healthy volunteers. Multiomics integration was used to characterize the biological basis of AS with renal deficiency and blood stasis syndrome. Specific proteins were validated by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS: Transcriptomic sequencing identified 31 significantly upregulated genes in patients with AS compared to healthy controls. These genes were primarily involved in tumor necrosis factor, interleukin-17, and nuclear factor kappa-B signaling pathways, as well as osteoblast differentiation and various viral infection pathways. Differentially expressed genes, including intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1), 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase, cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A, interleukin 1 receptor antagonist, integrin alpha IIb, and myosin light chain 9 were more upregulated in the SX group than in the SR group. Quantitative proteomics identified 723 differential proteins associated with the disease and 788 differential proteins between the SX and SR groups. Notable proteins such as myeloperoxidase, cluster of differentiation 14, macrophage simulating 1 (MST1), and Ras homolog enriched in brain may serve as characteristic proteins of the SX group. By integrating transcriptomic and proteomic data, 45 associated differential molecules involved in platelet activation, pathogenic intestinal flora infection, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, and T-cell receptor signaling pathways were identified in patients with AS compared to healthy controls. Additionally, ICAM1, MST1, C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 (CXCL8), suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3), and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 1 (IGFBP1) were detected in TCM syndromes by RT-qPCR and ELISA, showing upregulation in AS renal deficiency and blood stasis syndromes, which is consistent with the proteomic and transcriptomic results. CONCLUSIONS: ICAM1, MST1, CXCL8, SOCS3, and IGFBP1 were identified as biomarkers of renal deficiency and blood stasis syndrome in AS. This study provides a biological basis for the differential diagnosis of TCM syndromes in AS, offering new insights into Chinese medicine evidence and more precise Chinese medicine treatments for AS.

Elevated levels of circulating adhesion molecules in IDDM patients and in subjects at risk for IDDM.

Serum levels of recently discovered circulating forms of adhesion molecules, ICAM-1 and L-selectin, were found to be elevated in IDDM patients and in subjects at risk for developing IDDM compared with 100 normal, nondiabetic blood donors. Both adhesion molecules were determined by sandwich ELISA. Serum concentrations of either clCAM-1 or cL-selectin were > 2SD of normal mean in 10 of 14 recent-onset IDDM patients (P < 0.05). Serum levels of clCAM-1 and cL-selectin did not correlate. In first-degree relatives, elevated adhesion molecule levels were observed in the 6 ICA+ individuals and in the ICA- individuals all (n = 14) with a genetic risk of IDDM (sharing HLA-DR3 and/or-DR4 with the diabetic relative) but not in the HLA-DR3- and/or -DR4- relatives (n = 13). We conclude that elevated clCAM-1 and cL-selectin levels occur independently of ICA status and probably reflect ongoing immune processes in recent-onset IDDM patients and first-degree relatives at risk for IDDM.

Molecular interactions mediating T-B lymphocyte collaboration in human lymphoid follicles. Roles of T cell-B-cell-activating molecule (5c8 antigen) and CD40 in contact-dependent help.

In lymphoid follicles, CD4+ T lymphocytes provide contact-dependent stimuli to B cells that are critical for the generation of specific antibody responses in a process termed Th function. The CD4+ T cell-restricted surface activation protein, 5c8 Ag (T-BAM), has recently been shown to be a component of the contact-dependent helper signal to B cells. To further dissect this process, we utilized a Jurkat T cell lymphoma clone, termed D1.1, that constitutively expresses T-BAM and activates peripheral B cells to express surface CD23 in a contact-dependent mechanism that is inhibited by mAb anti-T-BAM (5c8). Similar to its effect on peripheral B cells, Jurkat D1.1 activates B cells from lymphoid organs, as well as a B cell lymphoma clone, RAMOS 266,4CN 3F10 (RAMOS 266), to up-regulate surface CD23. Interestingly, mAb to the B cell surface molecule, CD40 (mAb G28-5 and B-B20), inhibit D1.1 induced activation of RAMOS 266 and peripheral and lymphoid B cells. In contrast, mAb to CR2 or the adhesion molecules, LFA1, LFA3, or ICAM-1, have little effect. The inhibitory effect of anti-CD40 mAb on B cell activation induced by D1.1 is specific because anti-CD40 potentiates, rather than inhibits, the up-regulation of CD23 on B cells induced by rIL-4. Moreover, cross-linking CD40 molecules by anti-CD40 mAb bound to Fc gamma RII+ (CD32) L cells induces B cell CD23 expression. In vivo, T-BAM-expressing cells are CD4+ T cells that are restricted to lymphoid organs and are localized in the mantle and centrocytic zones of lymphoid follicles and the spleen periarteriolar lymphoid sheath in association with CD40+ B cells. Taken together, these data demonstrate that T-BAM on T cells and CD40 on B cells are involved in contact-dependent T-B help interactions that occur in lymphoid follicles.

Adhesion molecules on the endothelium and mononuclear cells in human atherosclerotic lesions.

Atherosclerotic lesions show features of a cell-mediated immune inflammatory process. From this viewpoint, the potential role of arterial endothelium in the recruitment of mononuclear cells (T lymphocytes and macrophages) was studied. The endothelium of diffuse intimal thickening (DIT) and atheromatous plaques (AP) in human coronary arteries and abdominal aortas was characterized for the expression of adhesion molecules ELAM-1, ICAM-1, and the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II antigens HLA-DR/DP. A marked increase in expression of ICAM-1 and ELAM-1, and to a lesser extent HLA-DR/DP was observed on endothelial cells that were adjacent to subendothelial infiltrates of T lymphocytes (CD3+, CD11a+, HLA-DR/DP+) and macrophages (CD14+, CD11a+, CD11c+, HLA-DR/DP+). This contrasted with a lower or absent expression of these activation markers at sites without prominent inflammatory cell infiltrates. These findings could be demonstrated in DIT as well as in AP. The observations suggest that cytokines produced by the subintimal infiltrates may activate the endothelium in a similar way as is observed in the microvasculature at sites of immune inflammation. The expression of these activation markers in the microvasculature is associated with enhanced leukocyte adhesion, permeability for macromolecules, and procoagulant activity, features known to occur also in early experimental atherosclerosis. The findings therefore support the concept that arterial endothelium plays an active role in the recruitment of mononuclear cells in atherosclerotic lesions.

Contribution of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 to the morphological changes in monocytes bound to human venous endothelial cells stimulated with recombinant interleukin-4 (rIL-4) or rIL-1 alpha.

The present study focused on the question of whether the expression of intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) on the surface of cultured human venous endothelial cells (EC), stimulated with recombinant interleukin-4 (rIL-4) or rIL-1 alpha, contributes to the stretching of human monocytes following their binding to EC. Stimulation of monolayers of venous EC with rIL-4 for 24 hr induced marked expression of VCAM-1 but not ICAM-1 on EC, increased the adhesiveness of EC for monocytes but did not promote stretching of EC-bound monocytes over the surface of EC. Stimulation of EC with rIL-1 alpha for 24 hr induced surface expression of both ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, enhanced the binding of monocytes to EC and increased the percentage of EC-bound monocytes with a stretched morphology about 2.7-fold. Anti-ICAM-1 but not anti-VCAM-1 mAb markedly reduced the percentage stretched monocytes on rIL-1 alpha-stimulated EC. We conclude that ICAM-1 but not VCAM-1 on cytokine-stimulated EC is essential for the stretching of EC-bound monocytes.

[The onset mechanism of experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis induced by interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein].

In order to analyze the onset mechanism of experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU), two experimental models were used; one was EAU induced by one injection of purified bovine interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein (IRBP) with complete Freund's adjuvant in Lewis rat, and the other was an IRBP-induced autoimmune uveoretinitis that occurred spontaneously in nude (nu/nu) mice at 4 weeks of age reconstituted by the grafting of rat embryonic thymus (TG nude mouse). EAU develops when the IRBP-reactive lymphocytes in the regional lymph-nodes are activated. Activation begins when the T lymphocyte recognizes the peptide for the epitope bound to a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule in the antigen-presenting cell by way of the T-cell receptor (TCR). In EAU, ten peptide residues p1182-1191 of the IRBP amino acid sequence, were revealed to be sufficiently capable of lymphocyte activation for EAU, and it was also shown that amino acid positions 1182W (tryptophane), 1185G (glycine), 1186V (valine) and 1188P (proline) of IRBP play important roles as the epitopes or agretopes in developing EAU. On the other hand, two amino acids of IRBP, amino acid positions 1182W (tryptophane) and 1194P (proline) were shown to be the agretopes inducing autoimmune uveoretinitis in the TG nude mouse. A study of the variable region of the TCR with a residual p1182-1194 specific T-cell line from the TG nude mouse revealed that as many as 96% utilized the T-cell receptor V beta 6 gene and that the peptide-MHC molecule complex was recognized by restricted receptors. Adhesion molecules such as ICAM-1 and LFA-1 were also found to play an important role as cofactors in activation of lymphocytes in the antigen-recognition process of EAU. Uveoretinitis seemed to result from an immune reaction in the eye occurring when the T lymphocyte arrives there, activating the immunological process. ICAM-1 and LFA-1 were also found to be involved in the infiltration process of inflammatory cells: our immunohistological examination revealed that ICAM-1 was present in the retinal pigment epithelium and epithelium of the ciliary body composing the blood-ocular barrier. In contrast, LFA-1 was expressed in the infiltrating cells. Finally, the tolerance of IRBP was discussed and it was experimentally demonstrated that the absence of IRBP-induced uveoretinitis in human beings and certain experimental animals resulted from endogenous IRBP serving as a tolerogen; we assumed that the breakdown of this self-tolerance would induce EAU due to thymic dysfunction or IRBP antigen injection.

[Adhesion of lymphocytes to allogenic endothelium. Four different pathways].

Lymphocyte adhesion to allogeneic endothelium is a critical step in graft rejection. To further characterize the expression and the regulation of adhesion molecules involved in this process, we stimulated endothelial cells with Interleukin 4 or tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) and blocked lymphocyte adhesion to stimulated-endothelial cells with monoclonal antibodies. We demonstrated that lymphocytes bound endothelial cells by at least four adhesion pathways: a) a LFA 1/ICAM 1 dependent pathway on TNF alpha-stimulated endothelial cells, b) a LFA 1 dependent/ICAM 1 independent pathway on unstimulated or IL 4-stimulated endothelial cells, c) a VLA 4/VCAM 1 dependent pathway on unstimulated and stimulated-endothelial cells, d) a CD 2 dependent/LFA 3 independent pathway on IL 4 and TNF alpha-stimulated endothelial cells.

Frequency of common colds and serum levels of sICAM-1 (CD54), sLFA-3 (CD58) and sIL-2R (CD25).

Epidemiologic case-control studies have suggested an inverse relationship between past medical history of frequency of common colds and subsequent cancer risk for various sites. One hypothetical explanation for this finding may be that there are unknown differences in immune responsiveness between patients developing cancer and healthy individuals. The present study examines the relationship between the frequency of common colds and a) plasma levels of sICAM-1/CD54, sLFA-3/CD58 and sIL-2R/CD25 which are believed to modulate activation of immune responses, and b) cell-mediated immunity in vivo as determined by Multitest Mérieux. The investigation was conducted as a correlation study amongst a healthy group of individuals from the general population in Germany. We found a statistically significant inverse relationship between frequency of common colds and levels of sCD58 and, partially, sCD54. No association was found between levels of sCD25 and results of Multitest Mérieux.

On the immunopathology of multiple sclerosis lesions.

Active chronic multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions contain numerous T-200 and leukocyte function associated antigen (LFA)-1-positive infiltrating cells. Macrophages at the lesion edge are stained for immunoglobulins (Ig), Class I and Class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens, for interferon (IFN)-alpha and for the beta-2 integrin adhesion molecule gp 150/95. In the periplaque area, numerous CD2, CD4, and CD8 positive T cells and cells reactive for the CD45RO phenotype of memory cells and for gamma/delta T cell receptors are located between MHC-positive glial cells. White matter at the edge is diffusely stained for intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 and LFA-3. Remote from lesions, labeling for Class II MHC, ICAM-1 and LFA-3 was enhanced on some endothelial and glial cells. These findings indicate that adhesion molecules are involved in the formation and possibly also in the reactivation of MS lesions.

Impairment of lymphocyte adhesion to cultured fibroblasts and endothelial cells by gamma-irradiation.

A critical component of immune responsiveness is the localization of effector cells at sites of inflammatory lesions. Adhesive molecules that may play a role in this process have been described on the surfaces of both lymphocytes and connective tissue cells. Adhesive interactions of T lymphocytes with fibroblasts or endothelial cells can be inhibited by preincubation of the fibroblasts or endothelial cells with antibody to intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (CD54) or by preincubation of the T cells with antibody to lymphocyte function-associated Ag 1 (CD11a/CD18), molecules shown to be important in several other cell-cell adhesive interactions. Here we show that gamma-irradiation of human T lymphocytes impaired their ability to adhere to both fibroblasts and endothelial cells. This impairment was not associated with a loss of cell viability or of cell surface lymphocyte function-associated Ag 1 expression. gamma-Irradiation of T cells is known to result in the activation of ADP-ribosyltransferase, an enzyme involved in DNA strand-break repair, causing subsequent depletion of cellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) pools by increasing NAD consumption for poly(ADP-ribose) formation. Preincubation of T cells with either nicotinamide or benzamide [corrected], both known inhibitors of ADP-ribosyltransferase, completely reversed the suppressive effects of gamma-irradiation on T cell adhesion. The maintenance of adhesion was accompanied by inhibition of irradiation-induced depletion of cellular NAD. These experiments suggest that the impairment of cellular immune function after irradiation in vivo may be caused, in part, by defective T cell emigration and localization at inflammatory sites.
