Abstract
Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1, CD54) is a member of the Ig superfamily and is a counterreceptor for the beta 2 integrins: lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1, CD11a/CD18), complement receptor 1 (MAC-1, CD11b/CD18), and p150,95 (CD11c/CD18). Binding of ICAM-1 to these receptors mediates leukocyte-adhesive functions in immune and inflammatory responses. In this report, we describe a cell-free assay using purified recombinant extracellular domains of LFA-1 and a dimeric immunoadhesin of ICAM-1. The binding of recombinant secreted LFA-1 to ICAM-1 is divalent cation dependent (Mg2+ and Mn2+ promote binding) and sensitive to inhibition by antibodies that block LFA-1-mediated cell adhesion, indicating that its conformation mimics that of LFA-1 on activated lymphocytes. We describe six novel anti-ICAM-1 monoclonal antibodies, two of which are function blocking. Thirty-five point mutants of the ICAM-1 immunoadhesin were generated and residues important for binding of monoclonal antibodies and purified LFA-1 were identified. Nineteen of these mutants bind recombinant LFA-1 equivalently to wild type. Sixteen mutants show a 66-2500-fold decrease in LFA-1 binding yet, with few exceptions, retain binding to the monoclonal antibodies. These mutants, along with modeling studies, define the LFA-1 binding site on ICAM-1 as residues E34, K39, M64, Y66, N68, and Q73, that are predicted to lie on the CDFG beta-sheet of the Ig fold. The mutant G32A also abrogates binding to LFA-1 while retaining binding to all of the antibodies, possibly indicating a direct interaction of this residue with LFA-1. These data have allowed the generation of a highly refined model of the LFA-1 binding site of ICAM-1.

Abstract
The cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) NCAM, N-cadherin, and L1 are homophilic binding molecules that stimulate axonal growth. We have postulated that the above CAMs can stimulate this response by activating the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) in neurons. In the present study, we demonstrate that activation of NCAM and L1 can lead to phosphorylation of the FGFR. Both this and the neurite outgrowth response stimulated by all three of the above CAMs are lost when a kinase-deleted, dominant negative form of FGFR1 is expressed in PC12 cells. In addition, we have generated transgenic mice that express the dominant negative FGFR under control of the neuron-specific enolase (NSE) promoter. We show that cerebellar neurons isolated from these mice have also lost their ability to respond to NCAM, N-cadherin, and L1. A peptide inhibitor of phospholipase C gamma (PLCgamma) that inhibits neurite outgrowth stimulated by FGF also inhibited neurite outgrowth stimulated by the CAMs. Thus, we conclude that activation of the FGFR is both necessary and sufficient to account for the ability of the above CAMs to stimulate axonal growth, and that PLCgamma is a key downstream effector of this response.

Abstract
Intracellular signals are required to activate the leukocyte-specific adhesion receptor lymphocyte function-associated molecule-1 (LFA-1; CD11a/CD18) to bind its ligand, intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). In this study, we investigated the role of the cytoskeleton in LFA-1 activation and demonstrate that filamentous actin (F-actin) can both enhance and inhibit LFA-1-mediated adhesion, depending on the distribution of LFA-1 on the cell surface. We observed that LFA-1 is already clustered on the cell surface of interleukin-2/phytohemagglutinin-activated lymphocytes. These cells bind strongly ICAM-1 and disruption of the actin cytoskeleton inhibits adhesion. In contrast to interleukin-2/phytohemagglutinin-activated peripheral blood lymphocytes, resting lymphocytes, which display a homogenous cell surface distribution of LFA-1, respond poorly to intracellular signals to bind ICAM-1, unless the actin cytoskeleton is disrupted. On resting peripheral blood lymphocytes, uncoupling of LFA-1 from the actin cytoskeleton induces clustering of LFA-1 and this, along with induction of a high-affinity form of LFA-1, via "inside-out" signaling, results in enhanced binding to ICAM-1, which is dependent on intact intermediate filaments, microtubules, and metabolic energy. We hypothesize that linkage of LFA-1 to cytoskeletal elements prevents movement of LFA-1 over the cell surface, thus inhibiting clustering and strong ligand binding. Release from these cytoskeletal elements allows lateral movement and activation of LFA-1, resulting in ligand binding and "outside-in" signaling, that subsequently stimulates actin polymerization and stabilizes cell adhesion.

Abstract
We have isolated cDNA encoding human telencephalin (TLN), a brain segment-specific neuronal adhesion molecule. Human TLN comprises an NH2-terminal signal peptide, an extracellular region with nine Ig-like domains, a single transmembrane region, and a COOH-terminal cytoplasmic tail. The NH2-terminal five Ig-like domains of TLN were closely related to those of intercellular adhesion molecules (ICAMs)-1 and -3. The TLN gene was mapped to the human chromosome 19p13.2, where the ICAM-1, -3, and -4 (LW) genes are located. Furthermore, we observed lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1)-mediated adhesion of HL-60 cells on recombinant TLN protein, as well as on ICAM-1. However, the interaction of TLN with LFA-1 on HL-60 cells was divalent cation-independent and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate stimulation-independent. We conclude that TLN is a unique neuronal member of ICAM subgroup of the Ig superfamily and propose a novel type of interaction between the Ig superfamily molecule and integrin, which does not require the activation of integrin. TLN on the surface of telencephalic neurons may be a target molecule in the brain for LFA-1-expressing microglia and leukocytes in physiological or pathological conditions.

Abstract
Considerable advances have been made in our knowledge of the molecular structure of cell adhesion molecules, their binding sites, and adhesion complexes. For the cadherins, protein zero, and CD2, additional experimental data support the insights obtained from structural analysis of their domains and molecular models of their adhesion complexes. For neural cell adhesion molecules, L1, fibronectin, tenascin-C, integrins, and vascular cell adhesion molecules, the molecular structure of domains, and in most cases their binding sites, have been elucidated. The substrate recognition sites in some of these molecules possess rate constants for association and dissociation that permit both rapid cell migration and, through avidity, high-affinity cell-cell interactions.

Abstract
Some means of enhancing the susceptibility of tumor cells to tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) are required in adoptive immunotherapy. This study was designed to investigate whether or not tumor cell lysis by TIL was enhanced by treatment of the tumor cells with cisplatin, and also to clarify the mechanism of cisplatin's action on tumor cells. Autologous tumor cells and established cancer cell lines, including KATO-III and MKN-28, were used. Cytotoxic activities of TIL, the surface antigens of tumor cells, conjugation of TIL and tumor cells, and the production of TNF alpha from TIL were analyzed. Tumor cells treated with 2 micrograms/ml cisplatin for 12 h in vitro were more susceptible to bulk-cultured TIL and TIL clones. The surface antigens of tumor cells were not altered by the treatment with cisplatin. Cisplatin-treated tumor cells showed a higher binding ratio to TIL than did non-treated tumor cells. The anti-(tumor necrosis factor) (anti-TNF) or anti-TNF receptor antibody blocked the enhancement of cytotoxic activity by cisplatin. Thus, it was clarified that cisplatin enhanced the susceptibility of tumor cells to bulk-cultured TIL and TIL clones. Furthermore, the enhancement of cytotoxic activity by TIL in cisplatin-treated tumor cells was caused by a higher binding ratio to TIL and higher susceptibility to the TNF produced by TIL.

Abstract
CD50 (ICAM-3) has been identified as the third CD11a/CD18 (LFA-1) counter receptor. We investigated the expression and possible role of this molecule in the induction of early and late activation events in human thymocytes. We observed that CD50 expression is acquired by early T cell progenitors (CD34+) and maintained during thymic development, reaching the highest levels in the most mature population of thymocytes (CD3high). Neither basal nor cytokine-induced expression of CD50 was observed on untransformed human thymic epithelial cell lines. Cross-linking of CD50 expressed on the surface of human thymocytes, by using mAbs recognizing epitopes not related to the CD11a binding site, transduced transmembrane signals leading to an increase of intracellular calcium concentration. This calcium mobilization was inhibited when CD50 was co-cross-linked with CD45, suggesting that tyrosine phosphorylation is also involved in CD50 signaling. The same anti-CD50 mAbs that were able to affect intracellular calcium levels were shown to induce CD69 but not CD25 expression on human thymocytes. This effect was preferentially observed on CD3low/CD3high thymocyte subpopulations. Cross-linking of CD50 also significantly increased activation-induced cell death of human thymocytes. These results support the idea that CD50 molecule can play a role in developing functionally mature T lymphocytes.

Abstract
Marked intraglomerular infiltration of leukocytes is observed in membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN). We recently demonstrated that this leukocyte infiltration develops partly through macrophage-1 (Mac-1)-positive cells and glomerular C3c deposits (Clin Exp Immunol 100:269-276, 1995). To further investigate the mediation of adhesion molecules in the leukocyte accumulation, we immunohistochemically examined the expression of intraglomerular leukocyte integrins and their ligands as well as surface markers for granulocytes/monocytes (CD15) and macrophages (CD68) in 26 patients with MPGN type I who had undergone repeated biopsies. These patients were divided into two groups. Group A included the patients who showed both normo-complementemia and urinary protein excretion less than 1 g/d at the follow-up biopsy (recovery group: n = 14). Group B (persistent group: n = 12) included the patients other than those in group A. At the initial biopsy, there was no difference in the degree of glomerular C3c deposition, glomerular intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 expression, or the numbers of cells bearing leukocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1), Mac-1, and ICAM-3 between the two groups. At the follow-up biopsy, the degree of glomerular C3c deposition, and the numbers of cells bearing LFA-1, Mac-1, and ICAM-3, were significantly decreased only in group A (P < 0.01, P < 0.001, P < 0.001, and P < 0.01, respectively). No chronological change in ICAM-1 expression was observed in either group. Group B showed a chronological increase in the severity of glomerular injury and serum creatinine level, associated with persistent heavy proteinuria. Neither LFA-1- nor Mac-1-positive cells were positively correlated with ICAM-1 expression. Most of Mac-1-positive cells were CD15-positive cells (granulocytes/monocytes), and a considerable number of Mac-1-positive cells concurrently expressed ICAM-3. In contrast, most LFA-1-positive cells were considered to be CD68-positive cells (macrophages). The number of cells bearing LFA-1 was positively correlated with that of cells bearing ICAM-3 (P < 0.00001). These results suggest that the glomerular leukocytes, infiltrating through Mac-1/complement interaction, express ICAM-3 by themselves, and that LFA-1/ICAM-3 interaction might participate in the glomerular aggregation of leukocytes in MPGN type I. In this study, we could not conclude that LFA-1/ICAM-1 or Mac-1/ICAM-1 interaction was involved in the leukocyte accumulation in this disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To define the synovial distribution of the novel leukointegrin alpha d/CD18, and compare this with other members of the beta 2-integrin family of adhesion molecules, and their counter-receptors. METHODS Monoclonal antibodies to the CD3, CD14, CD29, CD68, beta 2-integrin, and immunoglobulin supergene families were used to immunohistologically define the distribution of these molecules in synovial tissue samples from normal subjects and osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. RESULTS The normal synovial lining cell layer (SLC) expresses CD68, vascular cell adhesion molecule 1, beta 1-integrin (CD29), the beta 2-integrins CD11b/CD18 (alpha m/beta 2, Mac-1), and alpha d/CD18, whereas CD11a/CD18 (alpha L/beta 2, lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1) and CD11c/CD18 (alpha x/beta 2, gp150/95) expression is generally absent. In RA synovitis, expression of beta 2-integrins in the SLC increases in proportion to the degree of hyperplasia. The ratio of cells in the SLC which express CD11c/CD18 increases substantially, approaching that of CD11b/CD18 and alpha d/CD18, while there is minimal increase in CD11a/CD18 expression. In the sublining areas of the tissues, aggregates and diffuse infiltrates of CD3/CD11a/ICAM-3+ lymphocytes are interspersed among CD68/CD14/CD11b/alpha d+ macrophages. A number of aggregates demonstrate intense alpha d staining of the lymphocytes. The synovial endothelium variably expresses intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), ICAM-2, and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1), with minimal evidence of ICAM-3 expression. CONCLUSION The leukointegrin alpha d/CD18 is expressed constitutively by synovial macrophages and macrophage-like lining cells. In rheumatoid synovitis, the intense coexpression of this integrin and its known counter-receptor, ICAM-3, in the inflammatory infiltrates, suggests a potential role for this adhesion pathway in cellular interactions occurring the synovium.

Abstract
Intercellular adhesion molecule-2 (ICAM-2) functions as a ligand for lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) and is involved in leukocyte adhesion. We studied intracellular associations of ICAM-2 using a peptide encompassing the cytoplasmic amino acids 231-254 as an affinity matrix. Among the proteins from placental lysates that bound to the peptide was alpha-actinin as demonstrated by immunoblotting. Purified, 125I-labeled alpha-actinin also bound to the peptide. Confocal microscopic analysis of Eahy926 cells demonstrated a colocalization of ICAM-2 and alpha-actinin. Of overlapping octapeptides covering the entire ICAM-2 cytoplasmic amino acids, ICAM-2241-248 bound alpha-actinin most avidly and effectively competed with the longer cytoplasmic peptide for binding. The site of interaction in alpha-actinin was studied using bacterially expressed alpha-actinin fusion proteins. Several constructs covering nonoverlapping regions of alpha-actinin bound to the ICAM-2 cytoplasmic peptide suggesting that multiple regions in alpha-actinin can mediate the interaction. These results, together with previously demonstrated interactions between alpha-actinin and the adhesion proteins ICAM-1, L-selectin, beta1- and beta2-integrins emphasize the role of alpha-actinin as a linker between cell surface adhesion molecules and the actin-containing cytoskeleton.

Abstract
A cDNA encoding a putative bovine intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-3, a ligand of the leukocyte integrin LFA-1 (CD11a/CD18), was sequenced and compared with human ICAM sequences. The 1635-bp bovine sequence codes for a protein of 544 amino acids (aa). This putative bovine ICAM-3 has five immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domains similar to human ICAM-1 and ICAM-3, and belongs to the Ig gene superfamily. The overall identities of the deduced aa sequence with those of human ICAM-3 and ICAM-1 are 61% and 58%, respectively. The predicted number and positions of Cys residues are all conserved between the bovine and human ICAM 3 aa sequences.

Abstract
ICAM-3/CD50 is a recently described LFA-1 counter receptor that seems to play an important role in the initiation of immune responses. In this study we have examined the expression of ICAM-3/CD50 in a large series of human neoplasms including 101 Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL), 26 Hodgkin's disease, and 38 solid tumors to define the distribution patterns of this molecule in malignant neoplasms and their possible correlation with clinical and pathological characteristics of the patients. In NHL, ICAM-3/CD50 was expressed in almost all the tumors with a tendency to be lost in high grade lymphomas. Reed-Sternberg cells and their variants in Hodgkin's disease were always negative independently of the histological subtype of the disease. No expression was observed in tumor epithelial cells of the 38 solid tumors examined. Strong endothelial cell staining was observed in 31% of the NHL and 31% of Hodgkin's disease. ICAM-3 expression in these cases was restricted to small tumor vessels. ICAM-3 expression in endothelial cells of NHL was significantly more frequent in high grade (40%) than in low grade lymphomas (14%) (p = 0.012). In addition, tumor vessels were also positive in 29% of solid tumors independently of the histological type. No correlation was observed between ICAM-3 expression in tumor or endothelial cells and other clinical and pathological characteristics of the patients. These findings indicate that ICAM-3 expression in human tumors is restricted to hematological neoplasms with a tendency to be lost in high grade lymphomas and Hodgkin's disease. ICAM-3 is also expressed by endothelial cells from tumor-associated neovascularization in both lymphoid and solid tumors.

Abstract
Intercellular adhesion molecule 3 (ICAM-3; CD50) is the predominant counter-receptor on resting T cells and monocytes for the leukocyte integrin, lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1; CD11a/CD18), and may play an important role in the initial stages of the T cell-dependent immune response. Deletion of individual immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) domains of ICAM-3 and ICAM-3 IgSF domain chimeras with CD21 showed there is a single LFA-1 binding site in ICAM-3 and that IgSF domain 1 is necessary and sufficient for LFA-1 binding. Epitope mapping and functional studies performed with 17 anti-ICAM-3 monoclonal antibodies demonstrated that only some monoclonal antibodies, with epitopes wholly within domain 1 of ICAM-3, were able to block binding of ICAM-3 bearing cells to purified LFA-1, in agreement with the data obtained from the domain deletion mutants and CD21 chimeras. Analysis of a panel of 45 point mutants of domain 1 of ICAM-3 identified five residues that may contact LFA-1 as part of the binding site, Asn23, Ser25, Glu37, Phe54, and Gln75. These five residues are predicted by molecular modeling, based on the structure of vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1), to cluster in two distinct locations on domain 1 of ICAM-3 on the BED face (Asn23 and Ser25) and on the C strand or CD loop (E37), the E strand (F54), and the FG loop (Q75). The residues, Asn23 and Ser25, comprise a consensus N-linked glycosylation site.

Abstract
Cellular adhesion is mediated by distinct cell surface receptors (adhesion molecules) and plays a pivotal role in the biological processes of morphogenesis, cell migration and cell-cell communication. During the past decade many adhesion molecules have been identified and structurally analysed. This has allowed an understanding of their role in the pathophysiology of disease, including inflammation and sepsis, ischaemia and reperfusion, transplant rejection, atherosclerosis and thrombosis, angiogenesis and wound healing, as well as carcinogenesis and tumour metastasis. Understanding of the molecular mechanisms of cellular communication is not only vital for advances in surgical pathophysiology, it also has the potential to widen the spectrum of diagnosis and therapy of disease. Analysis of expression of individual surface molecules may help in the diagnosis of transplant rejection and allow a prognostic determination of tumour progression and metastasis formation. Moreover, manipulation of adhesion molecule function by monoclonal antibodies, antisense oligonucleotides or single gene products may open the door for novel therapeutic regimens to prevent transplant rejection and ischaemia-, sepsis- and shock-induced tissue injury.

Abstract
Several studies indicate that the I domain located in the alpha chain (CD11a) of leukocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1; CD11a/CD18) plays an essential role in ligand recognition. We recently identified three distinct epitopes (IdeA, IdeB, and IdeC) within the CD11a I domain, recognized by antibodies that block binding of LFA-1 to intercellular adhesion molecules (ICAM) 1, 2, and 3. In the present study, we used a series of human/murine CD11a I domain chimeras, to localize a fourth I domain epitope (IdeD), recognized by three independently derived anti-CD11a antibodies that selectively block the binding of LFA-1 to ICAM-3, but not to ICAM-1. The IdeD epitope depended on human CD11a residues Asp182 and Ser184 and was not present in CD11b or CD11c. Although mutation of Asp182 and Ser184 failed to abolish ICAM-3 adhesion of LFA-1 transfectants, alignment of these residues with the crystal structure of the CD11a I domain suggested that the IdeD epitope is located in close proximity to residues (Ile126 and Asn129) recently implicated in the ICAM-3 binding site. Interestingly, the IdeB and IdeC epitopes appeared to be in close proximity of a divalent cation binding pocket within the CD11a I domain that regulates both ICAM-1 and ICAM-3 adhesion. Taken together, these data indicate that distinct regions of the CD11a I domain contain epitopes for antibodies that either selectively inhibit binding of LFA-1 to ICAM-3, or interfere with both ICAM-1 and ICAM-3 binding of LFA-1.

Abstract
We found that human neutrophils undergo homotypic aggregation by loading the physiological range of fluid shear stress (12-30 dynes/cm2). Under the fluid shear stress, an increase of intracellular Ca2+ concentration of neutrophils was observed. This increase of intracellular Ca2+ concentration was caused by Ca2+ influx, and the blockage of the flux by NiCl2 suppressed the neutrophil homotypic aggregation. Furthermore, this neutrophil aggregation under fluid shear stress was completely inhibited by pretreatment with antibody against LFA-1 or ICAM-3. These results suggested that NiCl2-sensitive Ca2+ channel played an important role in LFA-1/ICAM-3-mediated neutrophil homotypic aggregation under fluid shear stress.

Abstract
Chemokines are known to induce leukocyte adhesion to the endothelium and emigration into tissues. Here, Miguel Angel del Pozo and colleagues discuss how these molecules also appear to regulate the redistribution of cell adhesion receptors. Recruitment of adhesion molecules towards a cellular uropod in response to chemokines may represent a novel cooperative mechanism in the recruitment of leukocytes to sites of inflammation.

Abstract
We have identified amino acid residues within the evolutionarily conserved I domain of the alpha-chain (CD11a) of the leukocyte integrin leukocyte function-associated antigen (LFA) 1 that are critical for intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) 3 (CD50) binding. ICAM-3, a ligand of LFA-1, is thought to mediate intercellular adhesion essential for the initiation of immune responses. Using a panel of human/murine I domain chimeras and point mutants, we observed that the Ile-Lys-Gly-Asn motif, located in the NH2-terminal part of the CD11a I domain, is required for ICAM-3 but not ICAM-1 binding. These findings demonstrate that the I domain of CD11a contains distinct functional subdomains for ligand specific binding. An aspartic acid located at position 137, which is essential to ICAM-1/LFA-1 interactions (Edwards, C.P., M. Champe, T. Gonzalez, M.E. Wessinger, S.A. Spencer, L.G. Presta, P.W. Berman, and S.C. Bodary. 1995. J. Biol. Chem. 270:12635-12640), was also critical for ICAM-3 binding, whereas Ser at position 139 did not effect ICAM-1 or ICAM-3 binding. A synthetic peptide containing the Ile-Lys-Gly-Asn motif inhibited ICAM-3-dependent adhesion and proliferation of T cells at micromolar concentrations, suggesting that this peptide interferes with immune recognition. These observations underscore the importance of ICAM-3 in leukocyte function, and may lead to development of a new category of immunosuppressive agents.

Abstract
CD31 (PECAM-1) is a member of the immunoglobulin gene superfamily (IgSF) and has an important role in a number of endothelial cell functions including angiogenesis, inflammation, integrin activation and cell-cell adhesion. CD31 has both homotypic and heterotypic adhesive properties and in common with other IgSF members contains multiple functional domains. Using chimaeric fusion proteins of CD31 and a panel of haematopoietic cell lines we show that CD31 can bind cells in a predominantly homotypic or heterotypic manner depending on the cell line used. Heterotypic binding was found to be cation and temperature dependent and enhanced by Mn2+: all features of integrin mediated binding. Using a panel of anti-CD31 and anti-integrin antibodies we show that alpha v beta 3 is a ligand for CD31 on the monocytic cell line U937. The specificity of the interaction between alpha v beta 3 and CD31 was further confirmed by solid phase binding assays and the use of alpha v beta 3 transfected cells which bound CD31 specifically. Furthermore, we have mapped the binding site for alpha v beta 3 to domains 1 and 2 of CD31. The interaction of CD31 with alpha v beta 3 may be important in many aspects of endothelial function including leukocyte-endothelial transmigration and angiogenesis.

Abstract
Cell-cell adhesion is critical in the generation of effective immune responses and is dependent upon the expression of a variety of cell surface receptors. Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1; CD54) is an inducible cell surface glycoprotein expressed at a low level on a subpopulation of hematopoietic cells, vascular endothelium, fibroblasts, and certain epithelial cells. However, its expression is dramatically increased at sites of inflammation, providing important means of regulating cell-cell interactions and thereby inflammatory responses. Inasmuch the modulation of ICAM-1 expression during inflammation by pharmacologic agents might be very attractive for medical treatment, the intracellular regulatory elements and signaling pathways underlying the inducible expression of ICAM-1 by proinflammatory cytokines remain largely unknown. In this review, a novel posttranscriptional regulation of ICAM-1 gene expression by two inflammatory mediators, interferon-gamma and phorbol myristate acetate, and the possible role of the serine/threonine phosphorylation pathway in the cycloheximide-induced ICAM-1 message stabilization are discussed in light of our current understanding of ICAM-1 gene regulation during an inflammatory response.

Abstract
IgE synthesis by purified human B cells is induced by two signals: a class switching factor, most commonly interleukin (IL)-4, and the engagement of CD40, which is activated through its interaction with CD40 ligand (CD40L) expressed on activated T cells. Thus, the combination of IL-4 and anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody (mAb) has been shown to stimulate IgE production in vitro by highly purified B cells. In this T cell-independent system, strong homotypic aggregation of B cells is observed prior to the production of IgE. Flow cytometric analysis and cell binding assays showed that the stimulation of purified B cells with anti-CD40 mAb plus IL-4 resulted in a striking increase of intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1(CD54) expression, an induction of CD43 and an avidity change of lymphocyte functional antigen (LFA)-1(CD11a/CD18), with little augmentation of CD18 expression. Addition of anti-ICAM-1 mAb caused an inhibition of homotypic aggregation but augmented IgE synthesis by B cells stimulated with anti-CD40 mAb and IL-4, although it did not affect B cell proliferation or IL-6 production by the B cells. Among the mAb against counter-receptors for ICAM-1 tested, anti-CD11a mAb suppressed IgE synthesis, while anti-CD18 mAb and anti-CD43 mAb had little effect. The enhancing or inhibitory effect of anti-ICAM-1 mAb or anti-CD11a mAb on IgE production was achieved by the increased or decreased expression of germline C epsilon transcripts by B cells stimulated with anti-CD40 mAb and IL-4. These results indicate that B cell-B cell interaction through ICAM-1 and one of its counter receptors, LFA-1, regulates IgE synthesis by modulating C epsilon germ-line transcription.

Abstract
The intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) 1 is an Ig-like cell adhesion molecule expressed by several cell types, including leukocytes and endothelial cells. It can be induced in a cell-specific manner by several cytokines, for example, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1, and interferon-gamma, and inhibited by glucocorticoids. Its ligands are the membrane-bound integrin receptors LFA-1 and Mac-1 on leukocytes, CD43, the soluble molecule fibrinogen, the matrix factor hyaluronan, rhinoviruses, and Plasmodium falciparum malaria-infected erythrocytes. ICAM-1 expression is predominantly transcriptionally regulated. The ICAM-1 promoter contains several enhancer elements, among them a novel kappa B element which mediates effects of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, interleukin-1, lipopolysaccharide, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and glucocorticoids. Expression regulation is cell specific and depends on the availability of cytokine/hormone receptors, signal transduction pathways, transcription factors, and posttranscriptional modification. ICAM-1 plays a role in inflammatory processes and in the T-cell mediated host defense system. It functions as a costimulatory molecule on antigen-presenting cells to activate MHC class II restricted T-cells, and on other cell types in association with MHC class I to activate cytotoxic T-cells. ICAM-1 on endothelium plays an important role in migration of (activated) leukocytes to sites of inflammation. ICAM-1 is shed by the cell and detected in plasma as sICAM-1. Regulation and significance of sICAM-1 are as yet unclear, but sICAM-1 is increased in many pathological conditions. ICAM-1 may play a pathogenetic role in rhinovirus infections. Derangement of ICAM-1 expression probably contributes to the clinical manifestations of a variety of diseases, predominantly by interfering with normal immune function. Among these are malignancies (e.g., melanoma and lymphomas), many inflammatory disorders (e.g., asthma and autoimmune disorders), atherosclerosis, ischemia, certain neurological disorders, and allogeneic organ transplantation. Interference with ICAM-1 leukocyte interaction using mAbs, soluble ICAM-1, antisense ICAM-1 RNA, and in the case of melanoma mAb-coupled immunotoxin, may offer therapeutic possibilities in the future. Integration of knowledge concerning membrane-bound and soluble ICAM-1 into a single functional system is likely to contribute to elucidating the immunoregulatory function of ICAM-1 and its pathophysiological significance in various disease entities.

Abstract
Sequential interaction of neoplastic cells with the endothelium of tumour neovasculature is believed to be a significant step in tumour metastasis. Increasing evidence suggests that inducible endothelial adhesion molecules are intimately involved in this process. An immunohistochemical approach was used to examine the expression of adhesion molecules in 14 normal controls and a series of 64 invasive breast carcinomas. Endothelium in normal breast showed constitutive expression of PECAM (100 per cent), ICAM-2 (100 per cent), and P-selectin (64 per cent); variable and focal expression of ICAM-1 (71 per cent); and only weak staining for E-selectin (21 per cent). No ICAM-3 or VCAM-1 expression was observed. Similarly to normal breast endothelium, widespread and intense immunoreactivity on the endothelium of tumour-associated vessels was seen for PECAM (100 per cent), ICAM-1 (69 per cent), and ICAM-2 (95 per cent). In contrast to normal tissues, E- and P-selectins showed increased intensity of staining (52 and 67 per cent of cases, respectively) and expression of E- and P-selectins was more prominent at the tumour periphery. ICAM-3 expression was increased on tumour endothelium (15 per cent of cases), but in common with VCAM-1 (10 per cent) expression was focal. A previously unreported finding was the immunoreactivity of the neoplastic epithelial cells for the non-epithelial lineage markers ICAM-1 (34 per cent), ICAM-3 (10.9 per cent), PECAM (1.6 per cent), and E- and P-selectins (7 and 37 per cent of cases, respectively). These findings show that tumour endothelium displays significant heterogeneity and can assume a pro-inflammatory phenotype, probably as a result of cytokine stimulation. Upregulation of adhesion molecules might contribute to changes in invasive phenotype by promoting endothelial cell adhesion and angiogenesis, as well as forming a substratum for tumour cells to assemble and attract macrophages.

Abstract
Leukocyte adhesion involves the leukocyte-specific integrins CD11a/CD18, CD11b/CD18 and CD11c/CD18, which bind to intercellular adhesion molecules (ICAM). Three ICAM have been described, and are expressed on leukocytes and various other cells, but are absent from red cells. Here, we show that the red cell Landsteiner-Wiener (LW) blood group glycoprotein is an ICAM which binds to the leukocyte-specific integrins. This finding has important implications in red cell physiology.

Abstract
Intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-3 is a recently described member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and, as such, is closely related to ICAM-1 and ICAM-2. All three ICAMS are cognate for the counter-receptor lymphocyte function associated antigen-1 (LFA-1, CD11a/CD18). Unlike ICAM-1 and ICAM-2, ICAM-3 is constitutively expressed at high levels on resting leucocytes. We investigated the expression and function of ICAM-3 in normal skin (n = 5), as well as its expression in psoriasis (n = 4), atopic eczema (n = 4), allergic (rhus) contact dermatitis (n = 3), and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL, n = 2). Five-micrometre cryostat sections of skin were stained using monoclonal antibodies to ICAM-3 and a well characterized immunoperoxidase technique. In normal skin, ICAM-3 was expressed by all cutaneous leucocytes but most striking was the strong expression of ICAM-3 by Langerhans cells within both epidermis and dermis. This observation was confirmed by double-labelling with CD1a and negative staining with an IgG1 isotype control. In psoriasis, atopic eczema, allergic contact dermatitis, and CTCL, ICAM-3 was co-expressed on all CD1a+ cells, although, in psoriasis, the intensity of ICAM-3 expression was reduced. Functional blocking experiments were performed to determine whether the observed ICAM-3 expression on Langerhans cells was functionally important in antigen presentation. CD4+ T cells were prepared from peripheral blood and 10(5) CD4+ T cells combined with 10(5) epidermal cells harvested from keratome biopsies of normal skin of an individual allogeneic to the T-cell donor. Addition of 50 micrograms anti-ICAM-3 to the co-culture resulted in a consistent (50%) reduction in degree of alloantigen presentation by Langerhans cells to T cells. Inhibition was 77% of that produced by the addition of anti-LFA-1. These data indicate that ICAM-3 is constitutively expressed by Langerhans cells and is a major ligand for LFA-1 on CD4+ T cells during their response to Langerhans cells. Because fresh Langerhans cells constitutively express little ICAM-1, whereas ICAM-3 is constitutively expressed at high levels, it would appear that ICAM-3 is the dominant functional ICAM on in situ Langerhans cells in the normal epidermis.

Abstract
Building evidence suggests that blocking the ICAM-1/CD18 interaction may affect the course of graft rejection. Treatment with monoclonal antibody (mAb) to CD18 was compared to antibody to ICAM-1 in a rabbit heterotopic heart transplant model to determine whether blocking the leukocyte receptor for ICAM-1, CD18, was more effective than antibody targeting of the ligand for ICAM-1. Following transplantation, 28 recipient rabbits were randomized to receive either placebo, mAb to CD18, or mAb to ICAM-1 for 7 days until sacrifice. The cellular rejection grade and percentage of arteries with vascular rejection were significantly lower in animals treated with anti-CD18 than with anti-ICAM-1. As assessed by histology, antibody treatment was more effective in reducing both cellular and vascular rejection when directed at the leukocyte receptor CD18 than the ICAM-1 ligand. These findings suggest that other ICAM ligands may play an active role in the immune response and that CD18 may be important for migration of lymphocytes through myocardium.

Abstract
A soluble form of ICAM-1 (sICAM-1) have been observed in normal human serum (Rothlein et al., J. Immunol. 147, 3788-3793) and at elevated levels in inflammatory and tumor bearing status (Seth et al., Lancet, 338, 83-84; Giavazzi et al., Canc. Res. 52, 2628-2630; Harning et al., Canc. Res., 51, 5003-5005). However, the mechanism to produce the sICAM-1 has been still unknown. In this report we presented evidence for the presence of the mRNA specifically encoding sICAM-1, which is probably generated by alternative splice donor site selection. A 19-base deletion occurred right upstream of the transmembrane region gave rise to reading frameshift and eliminate the entire transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains, resulting in incapability of ICAM-1 molecules to reside in the membrane. A reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using a primer pair specific to sICAM-1 revealed a positive expression in all tissues analyzed, though the amount and the ratio to the conventional species varied slightly from tissue to tissue. Inflammatory cytokines displayed a complex pattern in the ICAM-1 mRNA expression depending on the combination of cytokines and the cultured cell lines used.

Abstract
Leukocyte recruitment is a key step in the inflammatory reaction. Several changes in the cell morphology take place during lymphocyte activation and migration: spheric-shaped resting T cells become polarized during activation, developing a well defined cytoplasmic projection designated as cellular uropod. We found that the chemotactic and proinflammatory chemokines RANTES, MCP-1, and, to a lower extent, MIP-1 alpha, MIP-1 beta, and IL-8, were able to induce uropod formation and ICAM-3 redistribution in T lymphoblasts adhered to ICAM-1 or VCAM-1. A similar chemokine-mediated effect was observed during T cells binding to the fibronectin fragments of 38- and 80-kD, that contain the binding sites for the integrins VLA-4 and VLA-5, respectively. The uropod structure concentrated the ICAM-3 adhesion molecule (a ligand for LFA-1), and emerged to the outer milieu from the area of contact between lymphocyte and protein ligands. In addition, we found that other adhesion molecules such as ICAM-1, CD43, and CD44, also redistributed to the lymphocyte uropod upon RANTES stimulation, whereas a wide number of other cell surface receptors did not redistribute. Chemokines displayed a selective effect among different T cell subsets; MIP-1 beta had more potent action on CD8+ T cells and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL), whereas RANTES and MIP-1 alpha targeted selectively CD4+ T cells. We have also examined the involvement of cAMP signaling pathway in uropod formation. Interestingly, several cAMP agonists were able to induce uropod formation and ICAM-3 redistribution, whereas H-89, a specific inhibitor of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase, abrogated the chemokine-mediated uropod formation, thus pointing out a role for cAMP-dependent signaling in the development of this cytoplasmic projection. Since the lymphocyte uropod induced by chemokines was completely abrogated by Bordetella pertussis toxin, the formation of this membrane projection appears to be dependent on G proteins signaling pathways. In addition, the involvement of myosin-based cytoskeleton in uropod formation and ICAM-3 redistribution in response to chemokines was suggested by the prevention of this phenomenon with the myosin-disrupting agent butanedione monoxime. Interestingly, this agent also inhibited the ICAM-3-mediated cell aggregation, but not the cell adhesion to substrata. Altogether, these results demonstrate that uropod formation and adhesion receptor redistribution is a novel function mediated by chemokines; this phenomenon may represent a mechanism that significantly contributes to the recruitment of circulating leukocytes to inflammatory foci.

Abstract
We have made a monoclonal anti-CD44 antibody which is able to activate the leukocyte integrin CD11a/CD18. Activated T cells strongly aggregated, and the aggregation was shown to be intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 (CD54) and ICAM-2 (CD102) dependent. Using purified ICAM coated on plastic, only binding to ICAM-1 was increased by the CD44 antibody, whereas activation by phorbol ester increased binding to both ICAM-1 and ICAM-3. The binding to ICAM-2 was not affected by either treatment. These findings show that the CD11a/CD18 integrin can be activated in a ligand-specific manner by engagement of CD44.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DC) are potent stimulators of primary T lymphocyte responses to foreign antigen. The initial DC-T lymphocyte interaction involves the binding of the adhesion molecule leukocyte function antigen-1 (LFA-1; CD11a/CD18) on the T lymphocyte to an intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) on the DC. Although blood and tonsil DC express ICAM-1 (CD54) and ICAM-2 (CD102) on their surface, anti-ICAM-1 and anti-ICAM-2 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) have little inhibitory activity on the DC-stimulated mixed leukocyte reaction (MLR). We therefore examined the expression of the more recently identified LFA-1 ligand, ICAM-3 (CD50), in comparison to ICAM-1 and ICAM-2 on blood DC and sought a functional role for ICAM-3 in DC-mediated T lymphocyte responses. Resting blood DC expressed significantly more ICAM-3 than ICAM-1 or ICAM-2 as assessed by flow cytometry. Treatment of resting DC with interferon-gamma led to increased expression of ICAM-1; however, ICAM-2 and ICAM-3 levels remained relatively constant. Solid-phase recombinant chimeric molecules ICAM-1-, ICAM-2- and ICAM-3-Fc were able to co-stimulate CD4+ T lymphocyte proliferation in conjunction with suboptimal solid-phase CD3 mAb 64.1. However, the anti-ICAM-3 mAb CAL 3.10 inhibited a DC-stimulated MLR to a greater extent than anti-ICAM-1 or anti-ICAM-2 reagents and appeared to act by blocking the DC ICAM-3- T lymphocyte LFA-1 interaction. As ICAM-3 is the predominant LFA-1 ligand on resting blood DC, we postulate that DC may utilize ICAM-3 for initial DC- T lymphocyte interactions, and that ICAM-1, which is up-regulated upon DC activation, and/or ICAM-2, may contribute to DC migration or later phases of the T lymphocyte activation process.

Abstract
ICAM-3 is a newly recognized adhesion molecule, which is a member of the immunoglobulin supergene family of ICAMs, and has been shown to be identical with the CD50 antigen. Recent functional studies have shown that ICAM-3 is a ligand for LFA-1, and plays an important part in immune reactions. To date, very few data exist in the literature concerning its expression in the skin. In the present study, we investigated the expression of ICAM-3 in normal skin and in 98 biopsy specimens of various inflammatory and neoplastic dermatoses. ICAM-3 was found to be expressed by epidermal CD1a+ Langerhans cells, by cells of Langerhans cell histiocytosis, by T and B lymphocytes infiltrating the dermis in cutaneous lymphomas and in a wide spectrum of inflammatory dermatoses. Epidermal keratinocytes were consistently negative; endothelial expression of ICAM-3 was observed in six of the 98 cases. These results show that ICAM-3 is constitutively and widely expressed by cells participating in inflammatory dermatoses (including Langerhans cells and T and B lymphocytes), and that it can be, albeit rarely, induced on endothelial cells and dermal dendrocytes. These results highlight the important part that ICAM-3 may play in cutaneous inflammatory and immune reactions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Inflammatory bowel disease is characterized by a failure to down-regulate the usual self-limited gut inflammatory response, suggesting that one or more of the predisposing genes could be those that determine the level of the immune response along the inflammatory pathway. The aim of this study was to examine potential associations of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) gene polymorphisms with inflammatory bowel disease or subsets of inflammatory bowel disease. METHODS One hundred eighteen patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and 130 patients with Crohn's disease (CD) as well as 77 ethnically matched controls were tested for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) and genotyped by polymerase chain reaction and allele-specific oligonucleotide techniques for ICAM-1 polymorphisms at codon 241 (exon 4) and codon 469 (exon 6). RESULTS There was no significant difference between all patients with UC, patients with CD, and controls in either polymorphism. However, when stratified by ANCA status, ANCA-negative UC showed a significantly increased frequency of allele R241 compared with ANCA-positive UC (16.0% vs. 6.6%; P = 0.047, Fisher's Exact Test). In contrast, it was ANCA-positive CD that had an increased allele frequency compared with ANCA-negative CD (19.6% vs. 8.4%; P = 0.027, Fisher's Exact Test). CONCLUSIONS Because the codon 241 polymorphism is in a functionally important domain III of ICAM-1, we may have identified an actual responsible genetic variation for genetically heterogeneous subsets of both UC and CD.

Abstract
It is now well established that CD4+ T cells can express cytotoxic activity. This type of cell-mediated cytotoxicity is associated with the Th1-, but not with the Th2-phenotype. While the activation of CD4+ CTL is MHC class II-restricted, the effector phase, i.e. the target cell killing is unrestricted and antigen non-specific. In analogy to CD8+ CTL, CD4-mediated target cell death is by DNA fragmentation. However, the molecular mechanism of killing differs from CD8-mediated lysis. Thus, CD4+ CTL preferentially lyse their targets via Fas-Fas ligand interaction, whereas the major cytotoxic effect of CD8+ CTL is by granule exocytosis, i.e. perforin and granzymes. Although CD8+ CTL can also express the FasL, their lytic activity through interaction with Fas is of less importance. Likewise, some CD4+ CTL may also kill by perforin/granzymes activity, but this pathway is of minor significance. The aims of CD8- or CD4-mediated lysis are also different. Thus, the major task of CD8+ CTL which recognize and kill their targets in the context of MHC class I molecules, is the lysis of virally infected cells and battling against tumor cells. CD4+ CTL, on the other hand, have an immunomodulatory role. Thus, they preferentially eliminate activated MHC class II-positive cells, i.e. APC, be they monocytes/macrophages, B cells or T cells. They may lyse these cells in order to prevent an overreaction of the ongoing immune response or in order to remove potentially hazardous cells upon completion of the immune response. The Fas-FasL pathway is particularly suitable for this task as myeloid or lymphoid cells express Fas only if activated, while FasL is preferentially expressed on activated CD4+ Th1 cells. Moreover, activated T cells eliminate themselves by the Fas-mediated pathway. Whether this happens by fratricide only, or also by suicide or both is open. Moreover, CD4+ CTL are particularly suitable for killing tumor cells as well, as they are efficient effectors in bystander lysis in contrast to CD8+ CTL. On the other hand, the non-specific killing via Fas-FasL interaction, which is an important reason for the bystander lysis, may have unwanted effects in that cells which should not be eliminated could be killed. Such reactions affecting various organs and cells, e.g. the liver, thyroid or islet cells of the pancreas could be an explanation for certain autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
Activation of T lymphocytes by antigen-presenting cells requires the interaction of major histocompatibility complex/antigen complexes with the T-cell receptor as well as the binding of co-stimulatory molecules to receptors on T cells. Freshly isolated epidermal Langerhans cells (LC) do not display a significant number of co-stimulatory molecules. After short-term culture, LC express and then upregulate intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) (CD54), leukocyte function-associated antigen (LFA)-3 (CD58), and B7-1 (CD80) accessory molecules and exhibit an enhanced antigen-presenting function. The present study examined the presence on human LC of the LFA-1 ligands ICAM-2 (CD102) and ICAM-3 (CD50) and their functional role in the activation of allogeneic T cells. Immunohistochemistry of skin sections and flow-cytometry analysis of freshly procured epidermal cell suspensions showed that LC (CD1a+ or HLA-DR+) expressed ICAM-3 but not ICAM-2. After 48-72-h culture in the presence of granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor, LC did not stain for ICAM-2 but expressed ICAM-3 at the same level as fresh cells. Incubation of both freshly isolated and cultured LC with monoclonal antibodies directed against ICAM-3 reduced T-cell proliferation (25-75% inhibition) in the primary allogeneic mixed leukocyte reaction assay; incubation of cultured LC with anti-ICAM-1 and anti-ICAM-3 synergistically reduced T-cell response. The results indicate that ICAM-3 is constitutively expressed and represents an important costimulatory molecule on freshly isolated LC but, in contrast to other accessory molecules, is not subjected to regulation during LC culture.

Abstract
CD50, the intercellular adhesion molecule-3 (ICAM-3), is expressed almost exclusively on hematopoietic cells. T lymphocytes display a bimodal distribution on CD50 expression levels. It was observed that CD45RO+ cells expressed higher levels of CD50 than CD45RA+ T lymphocytes. A similar situation was observed when CD4 and CD8 subpopulations were analyzed, with CD8+ cells expressing higher levels of CD50 than CD4+ cells. When adult T lymphocytes were analyzed by three-color flow cytometry in CD8+CD45RA+ cells both CD50low and CD50high expressing cells were detected, in accordance with several memory markers on T lymphocytes, whereas only cells with a low level of CD50 were observed in CD4+CD45RA+. The different level of CD50 expression was confirmed by analyzing purified CD45RA+ and CD45RO+ T cells. Moreover, after the comparison of CD50 expression level in thymocytes, cord blood and adult T lymphocytes, a progressive increase was observed. When T cells were sorted by their intensity of CD50 expression, only CD50high cells proliferated in response to tetanus toxoid. Therefore, the phenotypic and functional analysis of adult and cord blood T lymphocytes as well as thymocytes indicates that CD50 expression increases during the maturation process of T lymphocytes: from the lowest CD50 levels present on CD1+ thymocytes, to the highest levels of CD50 on human memory T cells. In addition, we have observed that after CD50 cross-linking on human T lymphocytes, a transient increase in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) is produced. When CD45RA+ and CD45RO+ T cells were analyzed, in spite of the level of CD50 expression, the stimulation through CD50 induced a similar level of Ca2+ mobilization in both subpopulations, contrasting with the higher rise in [Ca2+]i induced by CD3 stimulation on CD45RA+ versus CD45RO+. These data suggest that the signal transduction pathways activated after CD50 cross-linking are, at least partially, independent of those involved after CD3 stimulation.

Abstract
Adhesion molecules are involved in facilitating cell-mediated immune events. Because lymphocyte-epithelial cell interaction has been implicated in the pathogenesis of colonic inflammation, we analysed expression of a range of adhesion molecules on colonic epithelium in vitro and in vivo using flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. Expression of ICAM-1 by cell lines HT29 and int407 was increased by proinflammatory cytokines interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and IL-1 but not by IL-6. Vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM) and E-selectin were not expressed. Immunohistochemistry using sections of inflamed colon from 16 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), five patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and seven patients with normal colonoscopic biopsies, showed no expression of ICAM-1 on colonic epithelium. VCAM was seen in isolated lymphoid aggregates and E-selectin was expressed on endothelium. In situ hybridization showed no ICAM-1 or ICAM-3 mRNA in colonic epithelium. B7, the ligand for CD28, was not found on normal or inflamed colonic epithelium. The adhesion molecules ICAM-1, ICAM-3 and B7 are not involved in lymphocyte-epithelial cell interaction in the normal or inflamed colon. This may have implications for the development of T cell tolerance to intestinal luminal antigens.

Abstract
Adhesion molecules are important for immune regulatory mechanisms concerning antigen presentation, lymphocyte activation, localisation and migration as well as effector-target cell interactions in inflammatory processes. The immunohistochemical expression of ICAM-3, a recently cloned new member of the immunoglobulin family which also binds leucocyte function antigen 1 (LFA-1), was examined in 80 needle core biopsies from 35 renal allografts, 7 patients with mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis, 5 patients with extracapillary glomerulonephritis, 4 patients with interstitial nephritis and 5 patients with diabetic nephropathy and 20 normal kidneys. In all types of lesions ICAM-3 was constitutively expressed on the majority of infiltrating leucocytes without detectable upregulation or presentation on possible target structures during inflammation indicating its possible role to be mainly in initiation of the inflammatory response.

Abstract
Three different intercellular adhesion molecules (ICAMs) have been identified acting as ligand for counter-receptor leukocyte-function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) (CD11a/CD18). We have recently shown that ICAM-1 (CD54) is present on cultured human epidermal Langerhans cells but not on freshly isolated Langerhans cells, and that this molecule participates in the generation of an antigen-specific T-cell response. ICAM-2 (CD102) was not involved because this molecule is expressed by neither fresh nor cultured Langerhans cells. In this study, the presence of ICAM-3 (CD50) on Langerhans cells was examined. Flow cytofluorometric analysis demonstrated that ICAM-3 is strongly displayed by fresh Langerhans cells, and daily determinations showed that the level of this trypsin-resistant molecule remained nearly unchanged during in vitro culture for up to 4 d, indicating that Langerhans cells constitutively express this molecule. Analysis of RNA extracted from purified cultured Langerhans cells by means of reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction demonstrated the presence of mRNA specific for ICAM-3. Antigen-specific T-cell responses triggered by Langerhans cells were dose-dependently inhibited by anti-ICAM-3 if the antibody was added within the first 16 h of T-cell stimulation. Simultaneous addition of anti-ICAM-1 and anti-ICAM-3 synergistically inhibited T-cell responses, although a total block was never achieved. Pretreatment of Langerhans cells with anti-ICAM-3 resulted in a reduced T-cell response, whereas pretreatment of T cells did not. These results suggest that ICAM-3 on Langerhans cells, like ICAM-1, is functionally involved in the initiation of antigen-specific activation of T cells, but the expression of these two ICAMs on Langerhans cells is differently regulated.

Abstract
Leukocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) is a cell surface adhesion receptor for intercellular adhesion molecule-1, -2, and -3 (ICAM-1, -2, -3). Using human/murine chimeras of the I-domain of the LFA-1 alpha subunit (CD11a), we recently identified the epitopes recognized by eight monoclonal antibodies against CD11a that inhibit LFA-1 binding to ICAM-1. In this report, we determined that replacement of the entire human I-domain with the entire murine I-domain in CD11a completely abrogated LFA-1 binding to human ICAM-1 without affecting the gross conformation or heterodimer formation of LFA-1, as assayed by antibody binding. In order to assess which residues of the I-domain are responsible for binding to ICAM-1, we tested the ability of a panel of human/murine I-domain chimeras to bind to human ICAM-1. When complexed with CD18, all CD11a chimeras bound ICAM-1 at levels comparable to wild-type CD11a/CD18, indicating that the residues in these chimeras which differ in human and murine I-domains may not play a critical role in LFA-1 binding to ICAM-1. A series of point mutations of residues that are conserved between murine and human CD11a I-domains, as well as between CD11b and CD11c, were also generated. Substitution of alanine for proline at position 192 in the human CD11a I-domain abrogated adhesion of LFA-1 to ICAM-1. Antibody binding data suggested that this was due to conformational changes within the I-domain. Mutation of the aspartic acids at positions 137 and 239 to either alanine or lysine completely destroyed ICAM-1 binding. The conformation of LFA-1 alanine mutants was not significantly altered. This suggests that these aspartic acids are required for binding of human LFA-1 to human ICAM-1.

Abstract
beta 2 integrin (CD11a,b,c/CD18)-mediated cell adhesion is required for many leukocyte functions. Under normal circumstances, the integrins are nonadhesive, and become adhesive for their cell surface ligands, the intercellular adhesion molecules (ICAMs), or soluble ligands such as fibrinogen and iC3b, when leukocytes are activated. Recently, we defined a peptide derived from ICAM-2, which specifically binds to purified CD11a/CD18. Furthermore, this peptide strongly induces T cell aggregation mainly mediated by CD11a/CD18-ICAM-1 interaction, and natural killer cell cytotoxicity. In the present study, we show that the same ICAM-2 peptide also avidly binds to purified CD11b/CD18, but not to CD11c/CD18. This binding can be blocked by the CD11b antibody OKM10. The peptide strongly stimulates CD11b/CD18-ICAM-1-mediated cell aggregations of the monocytic cell lines THP-1 and U937. The aggregations are energy and divalent cation-dependent. The ICAM-2 peptide also induces CD11b/CD18 and CD11c/CD18-mediated binding of THP-1 cells to fibrinogen and iC3b coated on plastic. These findings indicate that in addition to induction of CD11a/CD18-mediated cell adhesion, the ICAM-2 peptide may also serve as a "trigger" for high avidity ligand binding of other beta 2 integrins.

Abstract
Intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1, ICAM-2, and ICAM-3 have been identified as counter-receptors for the leukocyte integrin lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1). The other leukocyte integrins, Mac-1 and p150,95, also interact with ICAM-1. ICAM-1 and ICAM-3 are highly homologous, and an undefined ligand for Mac-1 is present on neutrophils where ICAM-3 is well expressed. In addition, glycosylation has been shown to affect the interaction of ICAM-1 with Mac-1. We therefore sought to characterize ICAM-3 heterogeneity and determine whether ICAM-3 was a ligand for either Mac-1 or p150,95. Despite extensive differences in N-linked glycosylation, ICAM-3 purified from lymphoid cells and from neutrophils supports adhesion of LFA-1-bearing cells equally well; however, neither supports adhesion of Mac-1 or p150,95-expressing chinese hamster ovary cell transfectants. Similarly, purified Mac-1 does not support adhesion of ICAM-2 or ICAM-3-expressing L cell transfectants. ICAM-3 on neutrophils does not participate in Mac-1-dependent homotypic aggregation. Thus, ICAM-3 is not a counter-receptor for either Mac-1 or p150,95.

Abstract
There are conflicting reports regarding intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). Expression of adhesion molecules ICAM-1, lymphocyte adhesion molecule-1 (LFA-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM), and E-selectin was examined together with HLA-DR in 16 liver biopsy specimens showing PSC and 12 specimens showing PBC. These were compared with biopsy specimens showing large duct obstruction (n = 7), chronic active hepatitis (n = 4), alcoholic liver disease (n = 4), and normal liver histological results (n = 5). ICAM-1 was detected on biliary epithelium in five of seven PSC specimens of histological stage 3 or 4, but not in nine early PSC specimens or in specimens from disease controls. In PBC, ICAM-1 was positive on three of 12 cases, two stage 2, and one stage 3. Nine of 16 PSC specimens (three of nine early, six of seven late disease) and six of 10 PBC specimens (three early, three late disease) were positive for HLA-DR. LFA-1 stained infiltrating inflammatory cells in PSC, PBC, and disease controls. In conclusion, ICAM-1 expression on biliary epithelium in PSC occurs mainly in late stage disease and therefore may be secondary to previous events inducing inflammation rather than of primary pathogenic importance. ICAM-1 expression in PBC is less common and not clearly associated with a particular disorder. Previous reports of ICAM-1 prevalence may have been biased towards end stage, pre-transplantation biopsy specimens.
