We recently reported that cross-linking the leukocyte common antigen (CD45) can rapidly induce aggregation of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells via lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) interactions. Herein, we have examined both T-cell--monocyte cellular interactions and the molecular signaling that are involved in this phenomenon. Experiments using highly purified T lymphocytes showed that CD45-induced aggregation requires the presence of both T cells and monocytes. Cross- linking CD45 only on T lymphocytes, but not on monocytes, initiated cellular clustering after reconstituting to the respective untreated cell type. By several criteria, CD45-induced clustering of T cells to autologous monocytes was shown to be Fc-receptor--independent. When comparing intracellular signaling in leukocyte aggregation induced by CD45 cross-linking versus phorbol myristate-12–13-acetate (PMA) treatment, the former was found to be fivefold to 10-fold more sensitive to H-8, a reagent that effectively blocks cAMP- and cGMP- dependent protein kinases. On the other hand, reagents that increase intracellular cAMP levels (eg, dbcAMP, forskolin, and IBMX), protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors (eg, staurosporine), and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (eg, herbimycin A and genistein) all readily inhibited PMA- induced, but not CD45 monoclonal antibody-induced, aggregation. We conclude that cross-linking the leukocyte common antigen on T cells induces LFA-1--/ICAM-1--dependent T-cell--monocyte aggregation through a unique signaling pathway independent of PKC, which involves instead cAMP-/cGMP-dependent protein kinases.

A regulated order of adhesion events directs leukocytes from the vascular compartment into injured tissues in response to inflammatory stimuli. We show that on human T cells, the interaction of the β2 integrin leucocyte function–associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) with its ligand intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) will decrease adhesion mediated by α4β1 and, to a lesser extent, α5β1. Similar inhibition is also seen when T cells are exposed to mAb 24, which stabilizes LFA-1 in an active state after triggering integrin function through divalent cation Mg2+, PdBu, or T cell receptor/ CD3 complex (TCR/CD3) cross-linking. Such cross talk decreases α4β1 integrin–mediated binding of T cells to fibronectin and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1). In contrast, ligand occupancy or prolonged activation of β1 integrin has no effect on LFA-1 adhesion to ICAM-1. We also show that T cell migration across fibronectin, unlike adhesion, is mediated solely by α5β1, and is increased when the α4β1-mediated component of fibronectin adhesion is decreased either by cross talk or the use of α4-blocking mAb. The ability of mAb 24 Fab′ fragments to induce cross talk without cross-linking LFA-1 suggests signal transduction through the active integrin. These data provide the first direct evidence for cross talk between LFA-1 and β1 integrins on T cells. Together, these findings imply that activation of LFA-1 on the extravasating T cell will decrease the binding to VCAM-1 while enhancing the subsequent migration on fibronectin. This sequence of events provides a further level of complexity to the coordination of T cell integrins, whose sequential but overlapping roles are essential for transmigration.

Activation of resting human CD4+ "naive" (CD45RA+CD45RO-) and "memory" (CD45RA-CD45RO+) T cells requires costimulatory signals in addition to engagement of the T cell receptor/CD3 complex (TCR/CD3). The adhesion pathways mediated by lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1/intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (LFA-1/ICAM-1) and CD2/LFA-3 are capable of providing such costimulatory signals. Our work shows that these costimulatory adhesion pathways are critically involved in regulation of T cell differentiation/maturation. Evidence for subset-specific costimulatory requirements is demonstrated by the finding that only memory CD4+ T cells were costimulated by LFA-3, whereas both naive and memory CD4+ T cells were costimulated by ICAM-1. In addition, these costimulatory adhesion pathways regulated reciprocal cytokine secretion patterns for interleukin 5 (IL-5) and granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Repeated costimulation of CD4+ memory T cells with LFA-3 led to secretion of high levels of IL-5, while repeated costimulation with ICAM-1 induced high levels of secreted GM-CSF. Significant interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) production was observed with either of the costimulatory ligands. Extensive cell surface analysis of these in vitro cultures of peripheral blood derived memory CD4+ T cells, with monoclonal antibodies obtained from the 5th Leucocyte Typing Workshop, revealed differential expression of a singular antigen, CD60. This antigen was preferentially expressed on LFA-3-costimulated cells suggesting a positive correlation between CD60 expression and a T helper type 2-like cytokine profile. In conclusion, this report demonstrates a new functional role for costimulatory adhesion molecules in regulating differential cytokine secretion in human memory CD4+ T cells.

A rapid induction of adhesion to immobilized intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 occurs when cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) are stimulated with either soluble anti-T cell receptor (TCR) monoclonal antibodies (mAb) or with immobilized alloantigen, and this binding is blocked by the addition of anti-lymphocyte function-associated (LFA)-1 mAbs. Requirements for activating LFA-1 adhesion to ICAM-1 are similar to those found for induction of binding to immobilized fibronectin (FN), but distinct from those for activating CD8-mediated adhesion to class I major histocompatibility complex. A distinct role for LFA-1 in co-signaling for TCR-dependent degranulation could not be demonstrated. In contrast, both CD8 and the FN-binding integrin provide costimulatory signals for this response. Thus, if co-signaling via LFA-1 occurs, it clearly differs from that provided by CD8 or the FN-binding integrin. On the basis of antibody blocking effects, alloantigen-dependent activation of adhesion to ICAM-1 involves both the TCR and CD8. These results support a view of CTL activation as a cascade of adhesion and signaling events, with different coreceptors making distinct contributions.

Abstract Solid tumor cells have an altered metabolism that can protect them from cytotoxic lymphocytes. The antidiabetic drug metformin modifies tumor cell metabolism and several clinical trials are testing its effectiveness for the treatment of solid cancers. The use of metformin in hematologic cancers has received much less attention, although allogeneic cytotoxic lymphocytes are very effective against these tumors. We show here that metformin induces expression of Natural Killer G2-D (NKG2D) ligands (NKG2DL) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), a ligand of the lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1). This leads to enhance sensitivity to cytotoxic lymphocytes. Overexpression of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 family members decrease both metformin effects. The sensitization to activated cytotoxic lymphocytes is mainly mediated by the increase on ICAM-1 levels, which favors cytotoxic lymphocytes binding to tumor cells. Finally, metformin decreases the growth of human hematological tumor cells in xenograft models, mainly in presence of monoclonal antibodies that recognize tumor antigens. Our results suggest that metformin could improve cytotoxic lymphocyte-mediated therapy.

The contribution of the immune system to the pathogenesis of ischemic lesions is still uncertain. We have analyzed leukocyte infiltration in photochemically induced focal ischemia of the rat parietal cortex by immunocytochemistry. Between 1 and 2 days after photothrombosis, CD5 + T cells adhered to subpial and cortical vessels and infiltrated the ischemic lesion prior to macrophages. By day 3 numerous T cells and some macrophages, whose number increased further between day 3 and day 7, had infiltrated the border zone around the lesion sparing the center. In addition, CD5–/CD8+ lymphocytes that probably represent natural killer cells were found. Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) was expressed on endothelial cells on days 1 and 2 and in the border zone on infiltrating leukocytes from day 3 to day 7. Starting on day 7, macrophages infiltrated the core of the lesion to remove debris. When the entire lesion was covered by macrophages at day 14, the number of T cells had decreased and ICAM-1 immunoreactivity was no longer found in or around the infarct. In conclusion, our study shows that ischemic lesions can lead to a local immune reaction in the CNS. Thus, blocking of lymphocyte-derived cytokines or cell adhesionmolecules may provide a new approach to confining the sequelae of stroke.

ABSTRACT We have examined the expression and function of rat CD54, a homologue of human intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), by the continuously growing rat thyroid cell line FRTL-5. Approximately 10% of FRTL-5 cells express CD54 under basal conditions and this is not influenced by thyrotrophin. Expression of CD54 is increased by cytokines (γ-interferon, tumour necrosis factor, interleukin-1) and by an activator of C-kinase, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. Blocking ICAM-1 with a monoclonal antibody directed against this molecule significantly (P <0·01) reduced the binding of splenic lymphocytes to FRTL-5 cells but inhibition was consistently greater (P <0·01) in the presence of antibodies against a rat homologue of lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1, the receptor on T cells for ICAM-1. In no case was complete blocking of cluster formation observed. These results show that a pure line of rat thyroid cells can express an ICAM-1 homologue and this is directly enhanced by cytokines. Expression of this homologue is partially responsible for lymphocyte adhesion to thyroid cells, which is likely to be a major event in T cell recognition of thyroid antigens in autoimmune thyroiditis.

Abstract Cell adhesion molecules have a key role in the migration of T cells to inflammatory foci. However, the effect of the endothelial-lymphocyte interaction on the activation of the latter cells remains unresolved. We have studied the effect of resting and stimulated endothelial cells (ECs) on the activation of peripheral blood T cells (PBTLs), as assessed by the expression of CD69 and CD25 activation antigens. The incubation of PBTLs with tumor necrosis factor-–activated EC monolayers, either alive or fixed, induced the expression of CD69 but not CD25, preferentially in the CD8+CD45RO+ cell subset. Furthermore, it induced the production of cytokines such as IFN-γ, but not that of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and IL-4. EC treated with other stimuli such as IL-1β, IFN-γ, or lipopolysaccharide also showed the same proactivatory effect on T cells. Lymphocyte activation was almost completely inhibited by blocking anti-CD18 and anti–intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (anti–ICAM-1) monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs), but only slightly affected by MoAbs against CD49d, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, and anti–IL-15. In addition, the interaction of PBTL with immobilized ICAM-1 induced CD69 expression in the same memory T-cell subset. IL-15 induced T-cell activation with expression of CD69 and CD25, and production of IFN-γ, and its effect was additive with that triggered by cell adhesion to either EC or immobilized ICAM-1. The transmigration of PBTLs through either confluent EC monolayers or ICAM-1–coated membranes also induced efficiently the expression of CD69. When IL-15 was used as chemoattractant in these assays, a further enhancement in CD69 expression was observed in migrated cells. Together these results indicate that stimulated endothelium may have an important role in T-cell activation, through the lymphocyte function antigen-1/ICAM-1 pathway, and that IL-15 efficiently cooperates in this phenomenon. These observations could account for the abundance of CD69+ cells in the lymphocytic infiltrates of several chronic inflammatory diseases.
