چکیده

Mouse CD99 and its paralog CD99-like 2 (CD99L2) are surface proteins implicated in cellular adhesion and migration. Although their distributions overlap in a wide variety of cells, their physical/functional relationship is currently unknown. In this study, we show the interaction between the two molecules and its consequence for membrane trafficking of mouse (m)CD99L2. The interaction was analyzed by bimolecular fluorescence complementation, immunoprecipitation, and fluorescence resonance energy transfer assays. When coexpressed, mCD99 formed heterodimers with mCD99L2, as well as homodimers, and the heterodimers were localized more efficiently at the plasma membrane than were the homodimers. Their interaction was cytoplasmic domain-dependent and enhanced mCD99L2 trafficking to the plasma membrane regardless of whether it was transiently overexpressed or endogenously expressed. Surface levels of endogenous mCD99L2 were markedly low on thymocytes, splenic leukocytes, and CTL lines derived from CD99-deficient mice. Importantly, the surface levels of mCD99L2 on mCD99-deficient cells recovered significantly when wild-type mCD99 was exogenously introduced, but they remained low when a cytoplasmic domain mutant of mCD99 was introduced. Our results demonstrate a novel role for mCD99 in membrane trafficking of mCD99L2, providing useful insights into controlling transendothelial migration of leukocytes.

A CD99-related antigen on endothelial cells mediates neutrophil but not lymphocyte extravasation in vivo.

CD99 is a long-known leukocyte antigen that does not belong to any of the known protein families. It was recently found on endothelial cells, where it mediates transendothelial migration of human monocytes and lymphocyte recruitment into inflamed skin in the mouse. Here, we show that CD99L2, a recently cloned, widely expressed antigen of unknown function with moderate sequence homology to CD99,...

CD99 and CD99L2 act at the same site as, but independently of, PECAM-1 during leukocyte diapedesis.

Leukocyte extravasation depends on various adhesion receptors at endothelial cell contacts. Here we have analyzed how mouse CD99 and CD99L2 cooperate with PECAM-1. We found that antibodies against mouse CD99 and PECAM-1 trap neutrophils between endothelial cells in in vitro transmigration assays. A sequential function, as has been suggested for human PECAM-1 and CD99, could not be demonstrated....

Immune function genes CD99L2, JARID2 and TPO show association with autism spectrum disorder

BACKGROUND A growing number of clinical and basic research studies have implicated immunological abnormalities as being associated with and potentially responsible for the cognitive and behavioral deficits seen in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) children. Here we test the hypothesis that immune-related gene loci are associated with ASD. FINDINGS We identified 2,012 genes of known immune-functi...
