BACKGROUND The most predominant beta2-integrin lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1, CD11a/CD18, alphaLbeta2), expressed on all leukocytes, is essential for many adhesive functions of the immune system. Interestingly, RTX toxin-producing bacteria specifically target this leukocyte beta2-integrin which exacerbates lesions and disease development. RESULTS This study reports the seque...
Human neutrophils are primed in the presence of complexes of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) with its serum binding protein (LBP) in a manner dependent on CD14. Cellular consequences of priming include increased responsiveness, the upregulation of surface proteins including the adhesive integrin CD11b/CD18 (Mac-1), the increased binding of certain ligands to CD11b/CD18, and the concurrent shedding of ...
An unusual CD18 monoclonal antibody (mAb) MEM-148 binds, in contrast to standard CD18 mAbs, specifically to peripheral blood monocytes and neutrophils activated by various stimuli such as phorbol myristate acetate, opsonized zymosan, heat-aggregated immunoglobulin, and (after priming with lipopolysaccharide, tumor necrosis factor, or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor) also by for...
BACKGROUND Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) accumulate in postischemic myocardium and may cause injury to myocardium or to vessels by production of oxygen free radicals or by release of proteases and lipases. PMN accumulation is dependent on adherence to endothelium, which is mediated by a family of glycoproteins on the PMN surface, each of which has a common beta-subunit (CD18). The purpos...
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) I is a well-described genetic disorder in which leukocytes are unable to migrate to sites of inflammation due to mutations in the ITGB2 gene coding for the β subunit of β2 (CD18) leukocyte integrins. The classic symptoms of the disease present in the newborn period as failure of separation of the umbilical cord and recurrent bacterial infections, which contin...
We have studied the effect of the DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor camptothecin on growth, differentiation, and gene expression in U-937 human promonocytic leukemia cells. At a concentration of 20 nM, camptothecin caused significant DNA strand breakage and decreased the growth activity by accumulating cells preferentially at the G2 phase of the cycle. The growth arrest occurred concomitantly with ...
Accumulating evidence suggests that enhanced peroxynitrite (ONOO-) formation occurs during inflammation. We have studied the impact and the mechanisms of ONOO- action on expression of adhesion molecules on human neutrophils and coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC) and binding of neutrophils to HCAEC. Addition of ONOO- (0.1 to 200 5M) to isolated neutrophils resulted in a concentration-depe...
We previously reported that natural killer (NK)-sensitive target cells, K562, kill interleukin-2-stimulated (lymphokine-activated killer [LAK]) but not unstimulated NK cells. We have now investigated the molecular basis of this phenomenon. Soluble monoclonal antibody (MoAb) to CD18 inhibited 75% of K562-induced DNA fragmentation and membrane disruption, whereas blocking MoAb to Fas partially in...
Dysfunctional Tregs have been identified in individuals with psoriasis. However, their role in the pathogenesis of the disease remains unclear. Here we explored the effect of diminished CD18 (beta2 integrin) expression on the function of CD4+CD25+CD127(-) Tregs using the Cd18 hypomorphic (Cd18hypo) PL/J mouse model of psoriasis that closely resembles the human disease. We found that reduced CD1...
The cell surface adhesion molecule LFA-1 coordinates leukocyte trafficking and is a costimulatory molecule for T cell activation. We developed a panel of mAbs that recognize activation epitopes on the CD18 subunit, and show that stimulation of T lymphocytes appears to be accompanied by a conformational change in a subpopulation of LFA-1 that does not require ligand binding. Activation epitope u...
