ICAM proteins are ligands for the leukocyte adhesion protein LFA-1 (integrin alpha-L/beta-2). During leukocyte trans-endothelial migration, ICAM1 engagement promotes the assembly of endothelial apical cups through ARHGEF26/SGEF and RHOG activation. In case of rhinovirus infection acts as a cellular receptor for the virus.
Rhinoviruses belong to the picornavirus family and cause about 50% of common colds. Most rhinoviruses and some coxsackie viruses share a common receptor on human cells. The glycoprotein intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) has recently been identified as the cellular receptor for the subgroup of rhinoviruses known as the major groups. ICAM-1 is a member of the immunoglobulin supergene family and is a ligand for lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1); these ICAM-1/LFA-1 interactions are critical to many cell adhesion processes involved in the immunological response. Because anti-ICAM-1 antibodies can block binding of major-group rhinoviruses to cells, we considered that antagonism of virus-receptor interaction might be a way of preventing rhinovirus infection. We have constructed and purified a soluble form of the ICAM-1 molecule, which is normally membrane-bound, and demonstrated that it is a potent and specific inhibitor of rhinovirus infection.
During trans-endothelial migration (TEM), leukocytes use adhesion receptors such as intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM1) to adhere to the endothelium. In response to this interaction, the endothelium throws up dynamic membrane protrusions, forming a cup that partially surrounds the adherent leukocyte. Little is known about the signaling pathways that regulate cup formation. In this study, we show that RhoG is activated downstream from ICAM1 engagement. This activation requires the intracellular domain of ICAM1. ICAM1 colocalizes with RhoG and binds to the RhoG-specific SH3-containing guanine-nucleotide exchange factor (SGEF). The SH3 domain of SGEF mediates this interaction. Depletion of endothelial RhoG by small interfering RNA does not affect leukocyte adhesion but decreases cup formation and inhibits leukocyte TEM. Silencing SGEF also results in a substantial reduction in RhoG activity, cup formation, and TEM. Together, these results identify a new signaling pathway involving RhoG and its exchange factor SGEF downstream from ICAM1 that is critical for leukocyte TEM.
The major human rhinovirus receptor has been identified with monoclonal antibodies that inhibit rhinovirus infection. These monoclonal antibodies recognize a 95 kd cell surface glycoprotein on human cells and on mouse transfectants expressing a rhinovirus binding phenotype. Purified 95 kd protein binds to rhinovirus in vitro. Protein sequence from the 95 kd protein showed an identity with that of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1); a cDNA clone obtained from mouse transfectants expressing the rhinovirus receptor had essentially the same sequence as ICAM-1. Thus, the major human rhinovirus receptor is ICAM-1. The gene for this receptor maps to human chromosome 19, which also contains the genes for a number of other picornavirus receptors.
BACKGROUND: MUC1 is aberrantly expressed on a variety of epithelial tumors. We have reported that MUC1 plays important roles in separation from primary site, invasion into the stromal tissue, and protection from immune responses. The aim of this study is to determine the precise binding of MUC1 to intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) that accelerates the cancer metastasis. METHODS: A cell aggregation assay between MUC1 cDNA transfectants and ICAM-1 expressing cells was employed. An anti-MUC1 antibody, anti-ICAM-1 antibody or synthetic peptide of MUC1 core protein was added to the assay to inhibit the cell aggregation. RESULTS: MUC1 transfectants showed a significantly higher aggregation rate compared to the control cells. This aggregation was further enhanced by the inhibition of O-glycan biosynthesis. It was inhibited by either an anti-MUC1 antibody recognizing the tandem repeat domain of MUC1 core protein or an anti-ICAM-1 antibody identifying domain 1. It was also inhibited by a synthetic MUC1 peptide of 40 amino acids corresponding to two tandem repeats. CONCLUSIONS: The results revealed that a tandem repeat domain of MUC1 mucin core protein binds to domain 1 of ICAM-1, suggesting a potential role of MUC1- ICAM-1 interaction in the metastasis of epithelial tumors.
The co-ordinated function of effector and accessory cells in the immune system is assisted by adhesion molecules on the cell surface that stabilize interactions between different cell types. Leukocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1) is expressed on the surface of all white blood cells and is a receptor for intercellular adhesion molecules (ICAM) 1 and 2 (ref. 3) which are members of the immunoglobulin superfamily. The interaction of LFA-1 with ICAMs 1 and 2 provides essential accessory adhesion signals in many immune interactions, including those between T and B lymphocytes and cytotoxic T cells and their targets. In addition, both ICAMs are expressed at low levels on resting vascular endothelium; ICAM-1 is strongly upregulated by cytokine stimulation and plays a key role in the arrest of leukocytes in blood vessels at sites of inflammation and injury. Recent work has indicated that resting leukocytes express a third ligand, ICAM-3, for LFA-1 (refs 11, 12). ICAM-3 is potentially the most important ligand for LFA-1 in the initiation of the immune response because the expression of ICAM-1 on resting leukocytes is low. We report the expression cloning of a complementary DNA, pICAM-3, encoding a protein constitutively expressed on all leukocytes, which binds LFA-1. ICAM-3 is closely related to ICAM-1, consists of five immunoglobulin domains, and binds LFA-1 through its two N-terminal domains.

We have previously shown that the heterodimer CD98/LAT-2 (LAT-2: amino acid transporter) is expressed in the basolateral membrane of intestinal epithelia and is associated with beta1 integrin (Merlin, D., Sitaraman, S., Liu, X., Easterburn, K., Sun, J., Kucharzik, T., Lewis, B., and Madara, J. L. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 39282-39289). In the present study we examined the interaction of CD98/LAT2 with intracellular adhesion molecule I (ICAM-1) and the potential of such interaction on the activation of intracellular signal in Caco2-BBE cell monolayers. ICAM-1 was found to be expressed to the basolateral domain and to selectively coimmunoprecipitate with CD98/LAT-2 in Caco2-BBE monolayers. Using antibodies as ligands to CD98 and ICAM-1, we demonstrate that the basolateral cross-linking of CD98 and ICAM-1 differentially affects the intrinsic activity of the LAT-2 transporter. Whereas CD98 ligation decreases the Km and Vm of the LAT-2 transporter, ICAM-1 ligation increases Km and Vm of the amino acid transporter LAT-2. In addition, basolateral cross-linking of CD98 or ICAM-1 induces threonine phosphorylation of an approximately 160-kDa supramolecular complex that is consistent with CD98/LAT-2-ICAM-1 complex. Together these findings demonstrate that (i). CD98/LAT-2 interacts with ICAM-1 in Caco2-BBE cell monolayers, and (ii). CD98 and ICAM-1 ligands generate intracellular signals that regulate the amino acids transporter (LAT-2) activity. Our data provide a novel mechanism by which events such as adhesion may be integrated by amino acid transport activity resulting from the direct interaction of cell surface molecules such as CD98 and ICAM-1.

Recently our group demonstrated the myogenic capacity of human CD133(+) cells isolated from peripheral blood when delivered in vivo through the arterial circulation into the muscle of dystrophic scid/mdx mice. CD133(+) stem cells express the adhesion molecules CD44, LFA-1, PSGL-1, alpha4-integrins, L-selectin, and chemokine receptor CCR7. Moreover these cells adhere in vitro to VCAM-1 spontaneously and after stimulation with CCL19. Importantly, after muscle exercise, we found that the expression of VCAM-1 is strongly up-regulated in dystrophic muscle vessels, whereas the number of rolling and firmly adhered CD133(+) stem cells significantly increased. Moreover, human dystrophin expression was significantly increased when muscle exercise was performed 24 hours before the intra-arterial injection of human CD133(+) cells. Finally, treatment of exercised dystrophic mice with anti-VCAM-1 antibodies led to a dramatic blockade of CD133(+) stem cell migration into the dystrophic muscle. Our results show for the first time that the expression of VCAM-1 on dystrophic muscle vessels induced by exercise controls muscle homing of human CD133(+) stem cells, opening new perspectives for a potential therapy of muscular dystrophy based on the intra-arterial delivery of CD133(+) stem cells.

Effective interaction between T cells and their targets requires that recognition of specific antigen be coordinated with increased cell-cell adhesion. We show that antigen-receptor cross-linking increases the strength of the adhesion mechanism between lymphocyte function-associated molecule-1 (LFA-1) and intercellular adhesion molecules (ICAMs), with intracellular signals transmitted from the T-cell antigen receptor to the LFA-1 adhesion molecule. The increase in avidity is rapid and transient, providing a dynamic mechanism for antigen-specific regulation of lymphocyte adhesion and de-adhesion.

Ezrin, radixin, and moesin (ERM) regulate cortical morphogenesis and cell adhesion by connecting membrane adhesion receptors to the actin-based cytoskeleton. We have studied the interaction of moesin and ezrin with the vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1 during leukocyte adhesion and transendothelial migration (TEM). VCAM-1 interacted directly with moesin and ezrin in vitro, and all of these molecules colocalized at the apical surface of endothelium. Dynamic assessment of this interaction in living cells showed that both VCAM-1 and moesin were involved in lymphoblast adhesion and spreading on the endothelium, whereas only moesin participated in TEM, following the same distribution pattern as ICAM-1. During leukocyte adhesion in static or under flow conditions, VCAM-1, ICAM-1, and activated moesin and ezrin clustered in an endothelial actin-rich docking structure that anchored and partially embraced the leukocyte containing other cytoskeletal components such as alpha-actinin, vinculin, and VASP. Phosphoinositides and the Rho/p160 ROCK pathway, which participate in the activation of ERM proteins, were involved in the generation and maintenance of the anchoring structure. These results provide the first characterization of an endothelial docking structure that plays a key role in the firm adhesion of leukocytes to the endothelium during inflammation.

To examine the role of the ICAM-1 C-terminal domain in transendothelial T lymphocyte migration and ICAM-1-mediated signal transduction, mutant human (h)ICAM-1 molecules were expressed in rat brain microvascular endothelial cells. The expression of wild-type hICAM-1 resulted in a significant increase over basal levels in both adhesion and transendothelial migration of T lymphocytes. Endothelial cells (EC) expressing ICAM-1 in which the tyrosine residue at codon 512 was substituted with phenylalanine (hICAM-1(Y512F)) also exhibited increased lymphocyte migration, albeit less than that with wild-type hICAM-1. Conversely, the expression of truncated hICAM-1 proteins, in which either the intracellular domain was deleted (hICAM-1DeltaC) or both the intracellular and transmembrane domains were deleted through construction of a GPI anchor (GPI-hICAM-1), did not result in an increase in lymphocyte adhesion, and their ability to increase transendothelial migration was attenuated. Truncated hICAM-1 proteins were also unable to induce ICAM-1-mediated Rho GTPase activation. EC treated with cell-permeant penetratin-ICAM-1 peptides comprising human or rat ICAM-1 intracellular domain sequences inhibited transendothelial lymphocyte migration, but not adhesion. Peptides containing a phosphotyrosine residue were equipotent in inhibiting lymphocyte migration. These data demonstrate that the intracellular domain of ICAM-1 is essential for transendothelial migration of lymphocytes, and that peptidomimetics of the ICAM-1 intracellular domain can also inhibit this process. Such competitive inhibition of transendothelial lymphocyte migration in the absence of an affect on adhesion further implicates ICAM-1-mediated signaling events in the facilitation of T lymphocyte migration across brain EC. Thus, agents that mimic the ICAM-1 intracellular domain may be attractive targets for novel anti-inflammatory therapeutics.

AIM: To examine the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) expression on canals of Hering (CoH) and bile ductules associated with the autoimmune process of bile duct destruction in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). METHODS: Ten wedged liver biopsies of PBC (five cases each of stages 2 and 3) were studied. The liver specimens were processed for transmission electron microscopy. Immunohistochemistry was performed using anti-ICAM-1 and anti-LFA-1 mouse mAbs. In situ hybridization was done to examine the messenger RNA expression of ICAM-1 in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections using peptide nucleic acid probes and the catalyzed signal amplification (CSA) technique. Immunogold-silver staining for electron microscopy was performed using anti-ICAM and anti-LFA-1 mouse mAbs. The immunogold particles on epithelial cells of bile ductules and cholangiocytes of CoH cells were counted and analyzed semi-quantitatively. Western blotting was performed to confirm ICAM-1 protein expression. RESULTS: In liver tissues of PBC patients, immunohistochemistry showed aberrant ICAM-1 expression on the plasma membrane of epithelial cells lining bile ductules, and also on mature cholangiocytes but not on hepatocytes in CoH. LFA-1-positive lymphocytes were closely associated with epithelial cells in bile ductules. ICAM-1 expression at protein level was confirmed by Western blot. In situ hybridization demonstrated ICAM-1 mRNA expression in bile ductules and LFA-1 mRNA in lymphocytes infiltrating the bile ductules. By immunoelectron microscopy, ICAM-1 was demonstrated on the basal surface of epithelial cells in bile ductules and on the luminal surfaces of cholangiocytes in damaged CoH. Cells with intermediate morphology resembling progenitor cells in CoH were not labeled with ICAM-1 and LFA-1. CONCLUSION: De novo expression of ICAM-1 both on mature cholangiocytes in CoH and epithelial cells in bile ductules in PBC implies that lymphocyte-induced destruction through adhesion by ICAM-1 and binding of LFA-1-expressing activated lymphocytes takes place not only in bile ductules but also in the CoH.
