Abstract
Inflammatory processes are associated with the rapid migration of dendritic cells (DCs) to regional lymph nodes and depletion of these potent antigen-presenting cells (APCs) from the inflamed tissue. This study examined whether sites of cutaneous inflammation can be repopulated with DCs from a pool of immature DCs circulating in the blood. In adoptive transfer experiments with ex vivo-generated radioactively labeled primary bone marrow-derived DCs injected into mice challenged by an allergic contact dermatitis reaction, immature DCs were actively recruited from the blood to sites of cutaneous inflammation, whereas mature DCs were not. Immature, but not mature, DCs were able to adhere specifically to immobilized recombinant E- and P-selectin under static as well as under flow conditions. P-selectin-dependent adhesion of immature DCs correlates with their higher level of expression of the carbohydrate epitope cutaneous lymphocyte-associated antigen (CLA) and is blocked by a novel inhibitory antibody against mouse P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 (PSGL-1). Surprisingly, however, emigration of immature DCs into inflamed skin is retained in the presence of this anti-PSGL-1 antibody and is also normal when immature DCs are generated from fucosyltransferase (Fuc-T) Fuc-TVII-deficient mice. By contrast, emigration of wild-type immature DCs is reduced by adhesion-blocking anti-E- and P-selectin antibodies, and immature DCs generated ex vivo from Fuc-TVII/Fuc-TIV double-deficient mice emigrate poorly. Thus, fucosylated ligands of the endothelial selectins, determined in part by Fuc-TIV, and independent of PSGL-1, are required for extravasation of DCs into sites of cutaneous inflammation.

Abstract
TCR activation of naive T cells in the presence of IL-12 drives polarization toward a Th1 phenotype and synthesis of P- and E-selectin ligands. Fucosyltransferase VII (Fuc-T VII) and core 2 beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (C2GnT) are critical for biosynthesis of selectin ligands. P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 is the best characterized ligand for P-selectin and also binds E-selectin. The contributions of TCR and cytokine signaling pathways to up-regulate Fuc-T VII and C2GnT during biosynthesis of E- and P-selectin ligands, such as P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1, are unknown. IL-12 signals via the STAT4 pathway. Here, naive DO11.10 TCR transgenic and STAT4(-/-) TCR transgenic CD4(+) T cells were stimulated with Ag and IL-12 (Th1 condition), IL-4 (Th2), or neutralizing anti-IL-4 mAb only (Th0). The levels of Fuc-T VII and C2GnT mRNA in these cells were compared with their adhesive interactions with P- and E-selectin in vitro under flow. The data show IL-12/STAT4 signaling is necessary for induction of C2GnT, but not Fuc-TVII mRNA, and that STAT4(-/-) Th1 cells do not traffic normally to sites of inflammation in vivo, do not interact with P-selectin, and exhibit a partial reduction of E-selectin interactions under shear stress in vitro. Ag-specific TCR activation in CD4(+) T cells was sufficient to trigger induction of Fuc-TVII, but not C2GnT, mRNA and expression of E-selectin, but not P-selectin, ligands. Thus, Fuc-T VII and C2GnT are regulated by different signals during Th cell differentiation, and both cytokine and TCR signals are necessary for the expression of E- and P-selectin ligands.

Abstract
E-selectin is an endothelial adhesion molecule, which mediates the tethering and rolling of leukocytes on vascular endothelium. It recognizes the glycoprotein E-selectin ligand-1 (ESL-1) as a major binding partner on mouse myeloid cells. Using surface plasmon resonance, we measured the kinetics and affinity of binding of monomeric E-selectin to ESL-1 isolated from mouse bone marrow cells. E-selectin bound to ESL-1 with a fast dissociation rate constant of 4.6 s(-1) and a calculated association rate constant of 7.4 x 10(4) m(-1) s(-1). We determined a dissociation constant (K(d)) of 62 microm, which resembles the affinity of L-selectin binding to glycosylation-dependent cell adhesion molecule-1. The affinity of the E-selectin-ESL-1 interaction did not change significantly when the temperature was varied from 5 degrees C to 37 degrees C, indicating that the enthalpic contribution to the binding is small at physiological temperatures, and that, in contrast to typical protein-carbohydrate interactions, binding is driven primarily by favorable entropic changes. Interestingly, surface plasmon resonance experiments with recombinant ESL-1 from alpha 1,3-fucosyltransferase IV-expressing Chinese hamster ovary cells showed a very similar K(d) of 66 microm, suggesting that this fucosyltransferase is sufficient to produce fully functional recombinant ESL-1. Following the recent description of the affinity and kinetics of the selectin-ligand pairs L-selectin-glycosylation-dependent cell adhesion molecule-1 and P-selectin-P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1, this is the first determination of the parameters of E-selectin binding to one of its naturally occurring ligands.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We evaluated the frequency of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) in CD34(+)CLA(+) (cutaneous lymphocyte-associated antigen) and CD34(+)CLA(-) cord blood cells, and followed cellular growth and HPC production during cultures in Flt3 ligand, thrombopoietin, and stem cell factor (FTS). MATERIALS AND METHODS Immunomagnetic bead-purified CD34(+) cells were sorted into CD34(+)CLA(+) or CD34(+)CLA(-) cells. HPC frequency was assessed by clonal assays in methylcellulose either ex vivo or after, 7, 14, or 21 days of culture with FTS. Dendritic cell (DC) progenitors were evaluated after induction of FTS-amplified cells into DC using secondary cultures containing granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and interleukin-4. RESULTS Ex vivo, granulocyte-macrophage progenitors were more frequent and erythroid progenitors were less frequent in the CLA(+) fraction. In FTS culture, CD34(+)CLA(+) cells produced greater absolute numbers of CD34(+) cells, granulocyte-macrophage-, erythroid-, and DC (including Langerhans cell-related) progenitors compared to CD34(+)CLA(-) cells. In CD34(+)CLA(+) cultures, CLA(+) cells steadily decreased with time, and CD34(+)CLA(-) cells appeared. In CD34(+)CLA(-) cultures, CLA(+) cells were generated, increased up to day 7, and decreased thereafter. CLA was expressed only on CD34(-) cells in these cultures. Ex vivo, CD34(+)CLA(+) cells could be subdivided further into CD38(low) and CD38(high) cells. Cord blood and growth factor-mobilized CD34(+) cells contained more CLA(+)CD38(low) cells than nonmobilized peripheral blood CD34(+) cells and proliferated more extensively with FTS than the latter cells. CONCLUSIONS CD34(+)CLA(+) cells contain a rather immature progenitor capable of high proliferation and extensive amplification of HPC in vitro. This progenitor may be localized in the CD34(+)CLA(+)CD38(low) fraction. In addition, cultures of CD34(+)CLA(+) cells from cord blood produced CD34(+)CLA(-) cells, suggesting that these cells may derive directly from CD34(+)CLA(+) cells in vivo.

Abstract
Memory T cells in inflamed skin express the cutaneous lymphocyte-associated antigen (CLA), a glycosylated epitope defined by the mAb HECA-452. We previously reported that on T cells, CLA occurs almost exclusively on the protein backbone of P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1). T cells exhibiting the CLA isoform of PSGL-1 can tether and roll on both E- and P-selectin, while T cells expressing PSGL-1 without the CLA epitope do not bind E-selectin, though they may bind P-selectin. We show here that circulating neutrophils and monocytes, and cultured blood dendritic cells, also express CLA almost entirely as an isoform of PSGL-1. These cells all tether and roll on both E- and P-selectin. A chimeric fusion protein incorporating the 19 N-terminal amino acids of mature PSGL-1 exhibited HECA-452 immunoreactivity and supported rolling of CHO cells expressing either E- or P-selectin. These findings indicate a site for the CLA modification within the distal tip of PSGL-1, previously shown to be critical for P-selectin binding and to mediate some, but not all, of the E-selectin binding of PSGL-1. We hypothesize that the types of circulating leukocytes discussed above all use CLA/PSGL-1 to tether and roll on E- and P-selectin along the vascular endothelium.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the role of the endothelial cell adhesion molecules E- and P-selectin in the development and severity of adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) in the rat. METHODS Lewis rats were immunized subcutaneously with Mycobacterium butyricum (Mb), and blocking monoclonal antibodies (mAb) to rat E- and P-selectin were administered. Clinical score, radiolabeled (51Cr and 111In) blood polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) and monocyte migration to joints, and histologic features were monitored. RESULTS When mAb treatment was started on day 5 postimmunization with Mb (preclinical stage), development of AIA was significantly (P < 0.01) inhibited by mAb to E- but not to P-selectin (mean score on day 14 control 10.2, anti-E 2.8, anti-P 9.1). This was associated with markedly decreased migration (by 66-94%) of PMN and monocytes to arthritic joints and diminished cartilage degradation. When treatment was delayed until animals showed signs of arthritis (day 10 postimmunization), only a marginal and variable effect was observed as compared with blockade during the preclinical (day 5) stage. E-selectin blockade on day 5 and day 7 postimmunization resulted in inhibition of antigen-dependent T cell-mediated inflammation, since it decreased T cell migration to sites of dermal-delayed hypersensitivity induced by Mb without affecting migration to concanavalin A or cytokines. The proliferative response of T cells to Mb in vitro was not altered. CONCLUSION E-selectin plays an important role early in the development of AIA. This adhesion molecule may contribute to the migration of antigen-reactive T cells to peripheral tissues, including the joints where T cells initiate the arthritis.

Abstract
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency type II (LADII) is a rare inherited disorder of fucose metabolism. Patients with LADII lack fucosylated glycoconjugates, including the carbohydrate ligands of the selectins, leading to an immunodeficiency caused by the lack of selectin-mediated leukocyte-endothelial interactions. A simple and effective therapy has recently been described for LADII, based on the administration of oral fucose. Parallel to this treatment the lack of E- and P-selectin ligands on neutrophils was corrected, and high peripheral neutrophil counts were reduced to normal levels. This study reports that discontinuation of this therapy leads to the complete loss of E-selectin ligands within 3 days and of P-selectin ligands within 7 days. Peripheral neutrophil counts increased parallel to the decrease of selectin ligands. Selectin ligands reappeared promptly after resumption of the fucose therapy, demonstrating a causal relationship between fucose treatment and selectin ligand expression and peripheral neutrophil counts.

Abstract
P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 (PSGL-1) is a sialomucin expressed on leukocytes that mediates neutrophil rolling on the vascular endothelium. Here, the role of PSGL-1 in mediating lymphocyte migration was studied using mice lacking PSGL-1. In a contact hypersensitivity model, the infiltration of CD4(+) T lymphocytes into the inflamed skin was reduced in PSGL-1-deficient mice. In vitro-generated T helper (Th)1 cells from PSGL-1-deficient mice did not bind to P-selectin and migrated less efficiently into the inflamed skin than wild-type Th1 cells. To assess the role of PSGL-1 in P- or E-selectin-mediated migration of Th1 cells, the cells were injected into E- or P-selectin-deficient mice. PSGL-1-deficient Th1 cells did not migrate into the inflamed skin of E-selectin-deficient mice, indicating that PSGL-1 on Th1 cells is the sole ligand for P-selectin in vivo. In contrast, PSGL-1-deficient Th1 cells migrated into the inflamed skin of P-selectin-deficient mice, although less efficiently than wild-type Th1 cells. This E-selectin-mediated migration of PSGL-1-deficient or wild-type Th1 cells was not altered by injecting a blocking antibody to L-selectin. These data provide evidence that PSGL-1 on Th1 cells functions as one of the E-selectin ligands in vivo.

Abstract
P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) and E-selectin ligand-1 (ESL-1) are the two major selectin ligands on mouse neutrophils. Transfection experiments demonstrate that each ligand requires alpha1,3-fucosylation for selectin-binding. However, the relative contributions made by the two known myeloid alpha1, 3-fucosyltransferases Fuc-TVII or Fuc-TIV to this alpha1, 3-fucosylation are not yet clear. To address this issue, we have used mice deficient in Fuc-TIV and/or Fuc-TVII to examine how these enzymes generate selectin-binding glycoforms of PSGL-1 and ESL-1 in mouse neutrophils. Selectin binding was analyzed by affinity isolation experiments using recombinant, antibody-like forms of the respective endothelial selectins. We observe essentially normal binding of E- or P-selectin to PSGL-1 expressed by Fuc-TIV-deficient neutrophils but find that PSGL-1 expressed by Fuc-TVII-deficient neutrophils is not bound by E- or P-selectin. By contrast, E-selectin binds with normal efficiency to ESL-1 on Fuc-TVII-deficient neutrophils but exhibits an 80% reduction in its ability to bind ESL-1 isolated from Fuc-TIV-deficient neutrophils. The same specificity with which Fuc-TVII and Fuc-TIV generate selectin-binding forms of PSGL-1 and ESL-1 was found in transfection experiments with CHO-Pro(-)5 cells. In contrast, each fucosyltransferase alone could generate selectin-binding glycoforms of each of the two ligands in CHO-DUKX-B1 cells. Our data imply that in mouse neutrophils and their precursors, Fuc-TVII exclusively directs expression of PSGL-1 glycoforms bound with high affinity by P-selectin. By contrast, Fuc-TIV preferentially directs expression of ESL-1 glycoforms that exhibit high affinity for E-selectin. This substrate specificity can be mimicked in CHO-Pro(-)5 cells.

Abstract
The regulation of membrane trafficking is thought to be predominantly under the control of agonist-receptor transduction pathways. In the present study, osmomechanical stress due to swelling, a condition often accompanying cell activation, was shown to induce multiple membrane trafficking pathways in polarized absorptive epithelial cells in the absence of agonists. Osmomechanical stress activated rapidly (seconds) pathways of calcium-dependent membrane insertion into the basolateral domain, pathways of calcium-independent membrane retrieval from the basolateral domain, and a novel pathway of transcytosis (transcellular) between basolateral and apical cell domains. These pathways appear to underlie the transfer and regulation of transport proteins amongst cell compartments. This broad affect of osmomechanical stress on trafficking pathways may reflect a global mechanism for redistribution of transport proteins and other membrane components amongst cell compartments during states of mechanical stress.

Abstract
Natural killer (NK) cells are components of the innate immune system that can recognize and kill virally infected cells, tumor cells, and allogeneic cells without prior sensitization. NK cells also elaborate cytokines (e.g., interferon-gamma and tumor necrosis factor-alpha) and chemokines (e.g., macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha) that promote the acquisition of antigen-specific immunity. NK cell differentiation is accompanied by the cell surface expression of a mucin-like glycoprotein bearing an NK cell-restricted keratan sulfate-related lactosamine carbohydrate, the PEN5 epitope. Here, we report that PEN5 is a post-translational modification of P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1). The PEN5 epitope creates on PSGL-1 a unique binding site for L-selectin, which is independent of PSGL-1 tyrosine sulfation. On the surface of NK cells, the expression of PEN5 is coordinated with the disappearance of L-selectin and the up-regulation of Killer cell Ig-like Receptors (KIR). These results indicate that NK cell differentiation is accompanied by the acquisition of a unique carbohydrate, PEN5, that can serve as part of a combination code to deliver KIR(+) NK cells to specific tissues.

Abstract
P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 (PSGL-1) is a mucin-like selectin counterreceptor that binds to P-selectin, E-selectin, and L-selectin. To determine its physiological role in cell adhesion as a mediator of leukocyte rolling and migration during inflammation, we prepared mice genetically deficient in PSGL-1 by targeted disruption of the PSGL-1 gene. The homozygous PSGL-1-deficient mouse was viable and fertile. The blood neutrophil count was modestly elevated. There was no evidence of spontaneous development of skin ulcerations or infections. Leukocyte infiltration in the chemical peritonitis model was significantly delayed. Leukocyte rolling in vivo, studied by intravital microscopy in postcapillary venules of the cremaster muscle, was markedly decreased 30 min after trauma in the PSGL-1-deficient mouse. In contrast, leukocyte rolling 2 h after tumor necrosis factor alpha stimulation was only modestly reduced, but blocking antibodies to E-selectin infused into the PSGL-1-deficient mouse almost completely eliminated leukocyte rolling. These results indicate that PSGL-1 is required for the early inflammatory responses but not for E-selectin-mediated responses. These kinetics are consistent with a model in which PSGL-1 is the predominant neutrophil P-selectin ligand but is not a required counterreceptor for E-selectin under in vivo physiological conditions.

Abstract
AbstractWe describe a simple, noninvasive, and effective therapy for leukocyte adhesion deficiency type II (LAD II), a rare inherited disorder of fucose metabolism. This disorder leads to an immunodeficiency caused by the absence of carbohydrate-based selectin ligands on the surface of neutrophils as well as to severe psychomotor and mental retardation. The fucosylation defect in LAD II fibroblasts can be corrected by addition of L-fucose to the culture medium. This prompted us to initiate dietary fucose therapy on a patient with LAD II. Oral supplementation of fucose in this patient induced the expression of fucosylated selectin ligands on neutrophils and core fucosylation of serum glycoproteins. During 9 months of treatment, infections and fever disappeared, elevated neutrophil counts returned to normal, and psychomotor capabilities improved.

Abstract
Abstract
Leukocytes express L-selectin ligands critical for leukocyte-leukocyte interactions at sites of inflammation. The predominant leukocyte L-selectin ligand is P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1), which displays appropriate sialyl Lewis x (sLex)-like carbohydrate determinants for L-selectin recognition. Among the sLex-like determinants expressed by human leukocytes is a unique carbohydrate epitope defined by the HECA-452 mAb. The HECA-452 Ag is a critical component of L-selectin ligands expressed by vascular endothelial cells. However, HECA-452 Ag expression on human leukocyte L-selectin ligands has not been assessed. In this study, the HECA-452 mAb blocked 88–99% of neutrophil rolling on, or attachment to, adherent cells expressing L-selectin in multiple experimental systems. A function-blocking anti-PSGL-1 mAb also inhibited L-selectin binding to neutrophils by 89–98%. In addition, the HECA-452 and anti-PSGL-1 mAbs blocked the majority of P-selectin binding to neutrophils. Western blot analysis revealed that PSGL-1 immunoprecipitated from neutrophils displayed HECA-452 mAb-reactive determinants and that PSGL-1 was the predominant scaffold for HECA-452 Ag display. Leukocyte L-selectin ligands also contained sulfated determinants since culturing ligand-bearing cells with NaClO3 abrogated L-selectin binding. Consistent with this, human neutrophils expressed mRNA encoding five different sulfotransferases associated with the generation of selectin ligands: CHST1, CHST2, CHST3, TPST1, and HEC-GlcNAc6ST. Therefore, the HECA-452-defined carbohydrate determinant displayed on PSGL-1 represented the predominant L-selectin and P-selectin ligand expressed by neutrophils.

Abstract
Recirculation of B lymphocytes through the secondary lymphoid organs is key for recognition and response to foreign antigen. B lymphocytes within secondary lymphoid organs comprise a heterogeneous population of cells at distinct differentiation stages. To ascribe a particular adhesive behavior to discrete B-cell subsets within secondary lymphoid organs, we investigated their functional interaction with endothelial selectins under flow. We describe herein the characterization of a subset of human tonsillar B cells that interact with E-selectin but not P-selectin. E-selectin-interacting B cells had a phenotype of non-germinal center (CD10(-), CD38(-), CD44(+)), memory (IgD-) cells. Furthermore, FucT-VII was expressed selectively in CD44(+) E-selectin-adherent B lymphocytes. B-cell rolling on E-selectin required sialic acid but was independent of previously described selectin ligands. A novel glycoprotein ligand of 240 kDa carrying N-linked glycans was isolated from B-cell membranes by an E-selectin immunoadhesin. Binding of this protein was strictly Ca2+ dependent, was inhibited by a cell adhesion-blocking mAb against E-selectin, and required the presence of sialic acid but not N-linked carbohydrates. Our results enable us to assign to resident memory B lymphocytes a novel adhesion function, the rolling on E-selectin, that provides insights on the adhesion pathways involved in homing of memory B cells to tertiary sites.

Abstract
Abstract
Immune responses may be qualitatively distinct depending on whether Th1 or Th2 cells predominate at the site of Ag exposure. T cell subset-specific expression of ligands for vascular selectins may underlie the distinct patterns of recruitment of Th1 or Th2 cells to peripheral inflammatory sites. Here we examine the regulation of selectin ligand expression during murine T helper cell differentiation. Large numbers of Th1 cells interacted with E- and P-selectin under defined flow conditions, while few Th2 and no naive T cells interacted. Th1 cells also expressed more fucosyltransferase VII mRNA than naive or Th2 cells. IL-12 induced expression of P-selectin ligands on Ag-activated naive T cells, even in the presence of IL-4, and on established Th2 cells restimulated in the presence of IL-12 and IFN-γ. In contrast, Ag stimulation alone induced only E-selectin ligand. Interestingly, restimulation of established Th2 cells in the presence of IL-12 and IFN-γ induced expression of P-selectin ligands but not E-selectin ligands; IFN-γ alone did not enhance expression of either selectin ligand. In summary, functional P- and E-selectin ligands are expressed on most Th1 cells, few Th2 cells, but not naive T cells. Furthermore, selectin ligand expression is regulated by the cytokine milieu during T cell differentiation. IL-12 induces P-selectin ligand, while IL-4 plays a dominant role in down-regulating E-selectin ligand.

Abstract
Synthetic carbohydrate and glycoprotein mimics displaying sulfated saccharide residues have been assayed for their L-selectin inhibitory properties under static and flow conditions. Polymers displaying the L-selectin recognition epitopes 3',6-disulfo Lewis x(Glc) (3-O-SO3-Galbeta1alpha4(Fucalpha1alpha3)-6-O-SO3-Glcbeta+ ++-OR) and 3',6'-disulfo Lewis x(Glc) (3, 6-di-O-SO3-Galbeta1alpha4(Fucalpha1alpha3)Glcbeta-OR) both inhibit L-selectin binding to heparin under static, cell-free binding conditions with similar efficacies. Under conditions of shear flow, however, only the polymer displaying 3',6-disulfo Lewis x(Glc) inhibits the rolling of L-selectin-transfected cells on the glycoprotein ligand GlyCAM-1. Although it has been shown to more effective than sialyl Lewis x at blocking the L-selectin-GlyCAM-1 interaction in static binding studies, the corresponding monomer had no effect in the dynamic assay. These data indicate that multivalent ligands are far more effective inhibitors of L-selectin-mediated rolling than their monovalent counterparts and that the inhibitory activities are dependent on the specific sulfation pattern of the recognition epitope. Importantly, our results indicate the L-selectin specificity for one ligand over another found in static, cell-free binding assays is not necessarily retained under the conditions of shear flow. The results suggest that monovalent or polyvalent carbohydrate or glycoprotein mimetics that inhibit selectin binding in static assays may not block the more physiologically relevant process of selectin-mediated rolling.

Abstract
Three techniques, constant-potential amperometry, high-speed chronoamperometry, and fast-scan cyclic voltammetry, have been used extensively to investigate the rapid events associated with neurotransmission. These techniques vary in sensitivity, chemical resolution and temporal resolution. Amperometry provides the best temporal resolution but little chemical resolution. Fast-scan cyclic voltammetry provides both good temporal and chemical resolution, while high-speed chronoamperometry offers good temporal resolution and moderate chemical resolution. The amount of chemical information which is needed for a neurochemical measurement depends upon the sample. For single cells, secondary methods, such as HPLC and capillary electrophoresis, offer extensive chemical information about the contents of a cell. With this information, chemical information is not needed during the electrochemical measurement. Therefore, amperometry is employed to obtain the greatest temporal resolution. However, when using more complex biological samples, such as brain slices or in vivo implantation, there is a greater demand for chemical resolution provided by the electrochemical measurement. To bolster results, further confirmation is sought from anatomical, physiological and pharmaceutical evidence. Within this review, the three electrochemical techniques are outlined and compared. Examples are then provided of measurements which have been made in the three predominant biological samples which have been studied: single cells, brain slices and intact animals.

Abstract
Selectins are a family of three cell adhesion molecules (L-, E-, and P-selectin) specialized in capturing leukocytes from the bloodstream to the blood vessel wall. This initial cell contact is followed by the selectin-mediated rolling of leukocytes on the endothelial cell surface. This represents the first step in a cascade of molecular interactions that lead to leukocyte extravasation, enabling the processes of lymphocyte recirculation and leukocyte migration into inflamed tissue. The central importance of the selectins in these processes has been well documented in vivo by the use of adhesion-blocking antibodies as well as by studies on selectin gene-deficient mice. This review focuses on the molecular mechanisms that regulate expression and function(s) of the selectins and their ligands. Cell-surface expression of the selectins is regulated by a variety of different mechanisms. The selectins bind to carbohydrate structures on glycoproteins, glycolipids, and proteoglycans. Glycoproteins are the most likely candidates for physiologically relevant ligands. Only a few glycoproteins are appropriately glycosylated to allow strong binding to the selectins. Recently, more knowledge about the structure and the regulated expression of some of the carbohydrates on these ligands necessary for selectin binding has been accumulated. For at least one of these ligands, the physiological function is now well established. A novel and exciting aspect is the signaling function of the selectins and their ligands. Especially in the last two years, convincing data have been published supporting the idea that selectins and glycoprotein ligands of the selectins participate in the activation of leukocyte integrins.

Abstract
Abstract
T lymphocytes up-regulate the synthesis of ligands for E- and P-selectin during proliferative responses in vivo and in vitro. Previous studies from our laboratories indicated that the α(1,3)-fucosyltransferase FucT-VII regulates the synthesis of E-selectin ligands and sialylated Lewisx-related epitopes (sLex-related epitopes) in human T lymphoblasts. The current report shows that production of both P- and E-selectin ligands is FucT-VII dependent, but peak synthesis of each occurs at different levels of fucosyltransferase activity in intact cells. In brief, FucT-VII mRNA levels were higher in cultured T lymphoblasts expressing sLex-related epitopes and both selectin ligands than in cells expressing P-selectin ligands alone. However, synthesis of the epitopes and both selectin ligands required the FucT-VII enzyme in transfected Molt-4 cells. In contrast, neither constitutive nor transfection-enhanced levels of the FucT-IV enzyme generated active P-selectin ligands in these lines. In addition, targeted deletion of the FucT-VII gene in mice markedly inhibited the synthesis of both P- and E-selectin ligands during blast transformation in vitro. Finally, the optimal synthesis of active P-selectin ligands occurred at lower level of FucT-VII activity than required for synthesis of equally active E-selectin ligands in both cultured T lymphoblasts and FucT-VII transfectants. Consequently, the FucT-VII enzyme is essential for the synthesis of both P- and E-selectin ligands by T lymphoblasts, and its activity determines whether P-selectin ligands are expressed alone or in conjunction with E-selectin ligands and sLex-related epitopes on human T cells.

Abstract
Vitiligo is an autoimmune condition characterized by loss of epidermal melanocytes. Using tetrameric complexes of human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I to identify antigen-specific T cells ex vivo, we observed high frequencies of circulating MelanA-specific, A*0201-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes (A2-MelanA tetramer+ CTLs) in seven of nine HLA-A*0201-positive individuals with vitiligo. Isolated A2-MelanA tetramer+ CTLs were able to lyse A*0201-matched melanoma cells in vitro and their frequency ex vivo correlated with extent of disease. In contrast, no A2-MelanA tetramer+ CTL could be identified ex vivo in all four A*0201-negative vitiligo patients or five of six A*0201-positive asymptomatic controls. Finally, we observed that the A2-MelanA tetramer+ CTLs isolated from vitiligo patients expressed high levels of the skin homing receptor, cutaneous lymphocyte-associated antigen, which was absent from the CTLs seen in the single A*0201-positive normal control. These data are consistent with a role of skin-homing autoreactive melanocyte-specific CTLs in causing the destruction of melanocytes seen in autoimmune vitiligo. Lack of homing receptors on the surface of autoreactive CTLs could be a mechanism to control peripheral tolerance in vivo.

Abstract
Abstract
In this study, an in vitro flow model and a blocking mAb to P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) were used to define the role of PSGL-1 in monocyte attachment and rolling on E- and P-selectin and in attachment and accumulation on 6-h TNF-α-activated HUVEC. KPL1, an adhesion-blocking mAb directed against the tyrosine sulfate motif of PSGL-1, abolished monocyte-adhesive interactions with P-selectin, but only partially blocked monocyte interaction with E-selectin. Further analysis showed that on E-selectin, KPL1 blocked only secondary (i.e., monocyte/monocyte) interactions, but did not block primary (i.e., monocyte/E-selectin) interactions, with secondary adhesion accounting for 90% of the total adhesive interactions on either E- or P-selectin. On cytokine-activated HUVEC, monocytes initially attached and formed linear strings of adherent cells, which involved both primary and secondary adhesion. PSGL-1 or L-selectin mAb reduced string formation, and the combination of PSGL-1 and L-selectin mAb prevented monocyte strings and inhibited 86% of accumulation. Monocyte attachment and rolling on purified adherent monocytes were also critically dependent on PSGL-1 on the adherent monocytes. These studies document that secondary interactions between monocytes, mediated by PSGL-1, are crucial for monocyte initial attachment, rolling, and accumulation on activated endothelium under laminar shear flow.

Abstract
Abstract
Lymphocyte trafficking into Peyer’s patches requires β7 integrins and L-selectin. Here, we use intravital microscopy to examine leukocyte rolling and adhesion in Peyer’s patch high endothelial venules (HEV) of wild-type, L-selectin-deficient (L−/−), β7 integrin-deficient (β7−/−), and β7/L−/− mice. Although the leukocyte rolling flux fraction was reduced by 70%, Peyer’s patches in L−/− mice were of normal size and cellularity. In β7−/− mice, the rolling flux fraction was normal, but the number of adherent leukocytes in HEV was greatly reduced. The median leukocyte rolling velocity was reduced in L−/− mice and increased in β7−/− mice, suggesting that β7 integrins and L-selectin mediate rolling in Peyer’s patch HEV at different velocities. β7/L−/− exhibited both a low rolling flux fraction and low adhesion and had severely reduced Peyer’s patch size and cellularity. The residual rolling in these mice was completely blocked by a P-selectin mAb. A significant P-selectin component was also detected in the other genotypes. Twenty-six percent of B and T lymphocytes isolated from Peyer’s patches of wild-type mice expressed functional ligands for P-selectin, and this fraction was increased to 57% in β7/L−/− mice. Peyer’s patch HEV were found to express P-selectin under the conditions of intravital microscopy, but not in situ. Our data suggest a novel P-selectin dependent mechanism of lymphocyte homing to Peyer’s patches. In situ, β7 integrins and L-selectin account for all lymphocyte homing to Peyer’s patches, but P-selectin-dependent rolling, as induced by minimal trauma, may support trafficking of effector T lymphocytes to Peyer’s patches.

Abstract
Biophysical events involved in late stages of exocytosis occur at highly localized areas of cells on millisecond and submillisecond time scales. Thus, methodologies with high spatio-temporal resolution are required to achieve measurements at individual secretory cells. Much has been learned about the mechanisms and kinetics of vesicular release through analysis with the carbon fiber microelectrode techniques amperometry and cyclic voltammetry. Coupling of these techniques with other methods such as patch-clamp continues to reveal details of the secretion process. It is now clear that extrusion of the vesicular contents is a more complex process than previously believed. Vesicle-cell fusion, revealed by cell capacitance measurements, is temporally dissociated from secretion measured amperometrically. The stability imparted by interaction and association of vesicle contents at rest results in a rate-limiting extrusion process after full fusion. Furthermore, the presence of partial fusion events and the occurrence of nonquantized release have been revealed with electrochemical tools.

Abstract
One of the key control points in the trafficking of the T cell effector subsets, Th1 and Th2, to sites of inflammation is their migration out of the bloodstream. The mechanism by which the cells initially adhere to the endothelium is dependent on the selectin family of adhesion molecules. Only polarised Th1 cells are capable of binding P-selectin despite both Th1 and Th2 cells expressing PSGL-1, the P-selectin ligand. This may be due to a secondary modification of PSGL-1 that is present on Th1 but not Th2 cells. One key modification of PSGL-1 is the alpha3 fucosylation of the O-glycans. To address whether the binding of Th1 and Th2 cells may be regulated by fucosylation, we have studied the expression of the alpha3 fucosyltransferases, FucT-IV and VII, using in vitro differentiated mouse T cells. Messenger RNA levels for both FucT-IV and VII were found to be higher in Th1 than Th2 cells. alpha3 fucosyltransferase enzyme activities were also elevated in Th1 cells. The increased expression of the alpha3 fucosyltransferases in Th1 cells correlated with the ability of Th1, but not Th2, cells to bind to P-selectin. Thus, the regulation of the binding of effector T cells to the endothelium, and subsequent trafficking to inflammatory sites, may be controlled by the fucosylation state of PSGL-1 mediated by the selective expression of the alpha3 fucosyltransferases.
