Staphylococcal superantigen-like protein 3 triggers murine mast cell adhesion by binding to CD43 and augments mast cell activation. Genes Cells 2024; 29:397-416.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is a noteworthy pathogen in allergic diseases, as four staphylococcal exotoxins activate mast cells, a significant contributor to inflammation, in an IgE-independent manner. Although the adhesion of mast cells is an essential process for their immune responses, only a small number of exotoxins have been reported to affect the process. Here, we demonstrated that staphylococcal superantigen-like (SSL) 3, previously identified as a toll-like receptor 2 agonist, induced the adhesion of murine bone marrow-derived mast cells to culture substratum. SSL3-induced adhesion was mediated by fibronectin in an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence-dependent manner, suggesting the integrins were involved in the process. Additionally, SSL3 was found to bind to an anti-adhesive surface protein CD43. SSL3 induced the adhesion of HEK293 cells expressing exogenous CD43, suggesting that CD43 is the target molecule for adhesion induced by SSL3. Evaluation of SSL3-derived mutants showed that the C-terminal region (253-326), specifically T285 and H307, are necessary to induce adhesion. SSL3 augmented the IL-13 production of mast cells in response to immunocomplex and SSL12. These findings reveal a novel function of SSL3, triggering cell adhesion and enhancing mast cell activation. This study would clarify the correlation between S. aureus and allergic diseases such as atopic dermatitis.

Abstract
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a neurovascular disease produced by extravasation of blood to the subarachnoid space after rupture of the cerebral vessels. After bleeding, the immune response is activated. The role of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in this response is a current subject of research. We have analysed the changes in PBMCs of patients with aSAH and their interaction with the endothelium, focusing on their adhesion and the expression of adhesion molecules. Using an in vitro adhesion assay, we observed that the adhesion of PBMCs of patients with aSAH is increased. Flow cytometry analysis shows that monocytes increased significantly in patients, especially in those who developed vasospasm (VSP). In aSAH patients, the expression of CD162, CD49d, CD62L and CD11a in T lymphocytes and of CD62L in monocytes increased. However, the expression of CD162, CD43, and CD11a decreased in monocytes. Furthermore, monocytes from patients who developed arteriographic VSP had lower expression of CD62L. In conclusion, our results confirm that after aSAH, monocyte count and adhesion of PBMCs increase, especially in patients with VSP, and that the expression of several adhesion molecules is altered. These observations can help predict VSP and to improve the treatment of this pathology.

Abstract
How do cells process environmental cues to make decisions? This simple question is still generating much experimental and theoretical work, at the border of physics, chemistry and biology, with strong implications in medicine. The purpose of mechanobiology is to understand how biochemical and physical cues are turned into signals through mechanotransduction. Here, we review recent evidence showing that (i) mechanotransduction plays a major role in triggering signalling cascades following cell-neighbourhood interaction; (ii) the cell capacity to continually generate forces, and biomolecule properties to undergo conformational changes in response to piconewton forces, provide a molecular basis for understanding mechanotransduction; and (iii) mechanotransduction shapes the guidance cues retrieved by living cells and the information flow they generate. This includes the temporal and spatial properties of intracellular signalling cascades. In conclusion, it is suggested that the described concepts may provide guidelines to define experimentally accessible parameters to describe cell structure and dynamics, as a prerequisite to take advantage of recent progress in high-throughput data gathering, computer simulation and artificial intelligence, in order to build a workable, hopefully predictive, account of cell signalling networks.

Abstract
T cells carry out the formidable task of identifying small numbers of foreign antigenic peptides rapidly and specifically against a very noisy environmental background of endogenous self-peptides. Early steps in T cell activation have thus fascinated biologists and are among the best-studied models of cell stimulation. This remarkable process, critical in adaptive immune responses, approaches and even seems to exceed the limitations set by the physical laws ruling molecular behavior. Despite the enormous amount of information concerning the nature of molecules involved in the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) signal transduction network, and the description of the nanoscale organization and real-time analysis of T cell responses, the general principles of information gathering and processing remain incompletely understood. Here we review currently accepted key data on TCR function, discuss the limitations of current research strategies, and suggest a novel model of TCR triggering and a few promising ways of going further into the integration of available data.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sialophorin is a transmembrane sialoglycoprotein. Normally, the molecule is only produced by white blood cells where it regulates functions such as intercellular adhesion, intracellular signalling, apoptosis, migration and proliferation. METHODS Normal breast tissue and primary breast tumours were analysed by immunohistochemistry for sialophorin expression. The sialophorin-positive breast cancer cell line MCF7 was engineered to stably express either non-targeted or sialophorin-targeted small interfering RNA (siRNA). Assays were then performed in vitro to assess apoptosis, intracellular adhesion, transendothelial migration and cytotoxicity. An orthotopic mouse model assayed ability to produce tumours in vivo. RESULTS Normal breast epithelial cells exhibit expression of the N-terminal domain of sialophorin in the cytoplasm but not the nucleus. The majority of these normal cells are also negative for expression of the C-terminal domain. In contrast, malignant breast epithelial cells exhibit N-terminal expression both in the cytoplasm and nucleus and the majority express the C-terminus in the nucleus. Using differential patterns of intracellular expression of the N and C termini of sialophorin, we define six subtypes of breast cancer that are independent of histological and receptor status classification. Targeting sialophorin with siRNA resulted in the MCF7 breast cancer cell line exhibiting increased homotypic adhesion, decreased transendothelial migration, increased susceptibility to apoptosis, increased vulnerability to lysis by natural killer cells and decreased ability to produce tumours in mice. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that intracellular patterns of sialophorin expression define a new molecular classification of breast cancer and that sialophorin represents a novel therapeutic target.

Abstract
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood are known to adhere to the luminal surface of the microvasculature via receptor-mediated adhesion, which contributes to the spread of cancer metastasis to anatomically distant organs. Such interactions between ligands on CTCs and endothelial cell-bound surface receptors are sensitive to receptor-ligand distances at the nanoscale. The sugar-rich coating expressed on the surface of CTCs and endothelial cells, known as the glycocalyx, serves as a physical structure that can control the spacing and, thus, the availability of such receptor-ligand interactions. The cancer cell glycocalyx can also regulate the ability of therapeutic ligands to bind to CTCs in the bloodstream. Here, we review the role of cell glycocalyx on the adhesion and therapeutic treatment of CTCs in the bloodstream.

Abstract
CD43 is a transmembrane sialoglycoprotein. Normally the molecule is only produced by white blood cells where it regulates functions such as intercellular adhesion, intracellular signaling, apoptosis, migration and proliferation. Two CD43 antibodies were used to interrogate 66 cases of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and 24 cases of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). In addition, we engineered the CD43-positive lung cancer cell line A549 to stably express either non-targeted or CD43-targeted small-interfering RNA (siRNA). These lines were then subjected to in vitro assays of apoptosis, natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity, intercellular adhesion and transendothelial migration. A xenograft mouse model evaluated the ability of the lines to grow primary tumors in vivo. CD43 was found to be expressed in the majority of both SCLC and NSCLC. Inclusive of CD43-negative tumors, differential patterns of nuclear and cytoplasmic expression of CD43 define four molecular subcategories of lung cancer. Targeting CD43 in A549 lung cancer cells, increased homotypic adhesion, decreased heterotypic adhesion and transendothelial migration, increased susceptibility to apoptosis and increased vulnerability to lysis by NK cells. Furthermore, targeting inhibited the growth of primary tumors in nude mice.

Abstract
CD43/sialophorin/leukosialin, a common leukocyte antigen, is known as an inhibitor for cell adhesion. The ectodomain of CD43 is considered as a molecular barrier for cell adhesion, while the cytoplasmic domain has a binding site for Ezrin/Radixin/Moesin (ERM). We found expression of CD43 induced cell rounding, inhibition of cell re-attachment, augmentation of microvilli, and phosphorylation of ERM in HEK293T cells. Mutant studies revealed the ectodomain of CD43, but not the intracellular domain, essential and sufficient for all these phenomena. We also found that forced cell detachment by itself induced phosphorylation of ERM in HEK293T cells. Taken together, these findings indicate that inhibition of cell adhesion by the ectodomain of CD43 induces phosphorylation of ERM, microvilli formation, and eventual cell rounding. Furthermore, our study suggests a novel possibility that cell detachment itself induces activation of ERM and modification of cell shape.

Abstract
In the present study, human monocytic THP-1 cells were treated with phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) in order to obtain macrophage-like cells. Before and after treatment, plant lectins with distinct sugar specificities were applied in order to elucidate the glycosylation patterns of both monocytic and macrophage-like cell types and to follow changes during differentiation. As a result of flow-cytometric analyses, for untreated as well as for PMA-differentiated cells WGA yielded the highest binding rate without significant changes in the binding capacity. For the other lectins, divergent results were obtained which point to reorganization of sugar residues on the cell surface during differentiation. Additionally, cytoinvasion being beneficial for enhanced drug absorption was studied with WGA which had displayed a high binding capacity together with a high specificity. For both untreated and PMA-differentiated cells decreased fluorescence intensity at 37 degrees C as compared to 4 degrees C was observable pointing to internalization and accumulation within acidic compartments. Moreover, WGA-functionalized PLGA nanoparticles were prepared, and their uptake evaluated. Uptake rates of 55% in case of PMA-differentiated cells suggested that WGA-grafted drug delivery systems might be an interesting approach for treatment of infectious diseases provoked by parasites, facultative intracellular bacteria, or viruses such as HIV.

Abstract
Antibodies specific to moesin, which are frequently detectable in the serum of patients with aplastic anemia (AA), can induce tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) secretion from monocytes and a human monocytic leukemia cell line THP-1. We investigated the mechanisms responsible for TNF-alpha secretion from monocytic cells induced by the auto-antibodies that are purified from the sera of AA patients. TNF-alpha induction by anti-moesin antibodies depended on the amount of cell surface moesin expressed by THP-1 cells. F(ab')(2) fragments prepared from the anti-moesin antibodies were able to stimulate THP-1 cells to secrete TNF-alpha and this stimulatory effect was enhanced by cross-linking of moesins with anti-human IgG F(ab')(2) fragment antibodies. Anti-moesin antibodies as well as their F(ab')(2) fragments induced the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 in monocytic cells and this effect was suppressed by the addition of an ERK1/2 inhibitor. Moreover, anti-moesin antibody treatment induced the phosphorylation of moesin proteins in the monocytes and THP-1 cells within 30 min. These results indicate that anti-moesin antibodies induce TNF-alpha secretion from monocytes through the activation of the ERK1/2 pathway provoked by direct binding to moesin on the cells.

Abstract
It is now well demonstrated that cell adhesion to a foreign surface strongly influences prominent functions such as survival, proliferation, differentiation, migration or mediator release. Thus, a current challenge of major practical and theoretical interest is to understand how cells process and integrate environmental cues to determine future behaviour. The purpose of this review is to summarize some pieces of information that might serve this task. Three sequential points are discussed. First, selected examples are presented to illustrate the influence of substratum chemistry, topography and mechanical properties on nearly all aspects of cell behaviour observed during the days following adhesion. Second, we review reported evidence that long term cell behaviour is highly dependent on the alterations of cell shape and cytoskeletal organization that are often initiated during the minutes to hours following adhesion. Third, we review recently obtained information on cell membrane roughness and dynamics, as well as kinetics and mechanics of molecular interactions. This knowledge is required to understand the influence of substratum structure on cell signaling during the first minute following contact, before the appearance of detectable structural changes. It is suggested that unraveling the earliest phenomena following cell-to-substratum encounter might provide a tractable way of better understanding subsequent events.

Abstract
Cell membranes are studded with protrusions that were thoroughly analyzed with electron microscopy. However, the nanometer-scale three-dimensional motions generated by cell membranes to fit the topography of foreign surfaces and initiate adhesion remain poorly understood. Here, we describe the dynamics of surface deformations displayed by monocytic cells bumping against fibronectin-coated surfaces. We observed membrane undulations with typically 5 nm amplitude and 5-10 s lifetime. Cell membranes behaved as independent units of micrometer size. Cells detected the presence of foreign surfaces at 50 nm separation, resulting in time-dependent amplification of membrane undulations. Molecular contact then ensued with apparent cell-membrane separation of 30-40 nm, and this distance steadily decreased during the following tens of seconds. Contact maturation was associated with in-plane egress of bulky molecules and robust membrane fluctuations. Thus, membrane undulations may be the major determinant of cell sensitivity to substrate topography, outcome of interaction, and initial kinetics of contact extension.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is widely accepted as a central regulator of vascular tone and a vast array of other cardiovascular signaling mechanisms. An emerging player in these mechanisms is hemoglobin (Hb), an erythrocytic protein that serves as the archetypical model for an allosteric protein. Specifically, red blood cells (RBC) are suggested to be integral in matching blood flow to tissue oxygen demands. The mechanisms proposed involve the ability of Hb to sense changes in oxygen concentrations and coupling this process to modulating vascular NO levels. The molecular basis of these mechanisms remains under investigation, but is clearly diverse and discussed in this article from the basis of the blood flow responses to hypoxia. Another emerging theme in RBC biology is the role of these cells during inflammatory disease in which disease processes promote the interaction of vascular NO and the RBC. This is exemplified in hemolytic diseases, in which released Hb has drastic affects on vascular homeostasis mechanisms. Additionally, it is becoming evident that RBC express numerous molecules that mediate interactions with the extracellular matrix and cellular mediators of inflammation. The functional implications for such interactions remain unclear but highlight potential roles of the RBC in modulating inflammatory disease.

Abstract
This study addressed the hypothesis that endothelin promotes neutrophil accumulation in ischemic/reperfused myocardium, not only via its direct effect on neutrophils, but also because it mediates post-ischemic endothelial injury. Langendorff-perfused guinea-pig hearts were subjected to 30 min ischemia/35 min reperfusion, and infusion of neutrophils between 15 and 25 min of reperfusion. The infusion of the endothelin ET(A)/ET(B) receptor antagonist, tezosentan, the endothelin ET(A) receptor antagonist, BQ 123 [cyclo(-D-Trp-D-Asp-Pro-D-Val-Leu-], and superoxide dismutase was terminated at reperfusion, 5 min before the start of the neutrophil infusion, to avoid the contact of the drugs with neutrophils. Coronary flow responses to acetylcholine and nitroprusside were used as measures of endothelium-dependent and -independent vascular function, respectively. Neutrophil adhesion and endothelium glycocalyx ultrastructure were assessed in histological preparations. Ischemia/reperfusion resulted in a 54%-impaired acetylcholine response, endothelium glycocalyx disruption, and enhanced neutrophil adhesion (21.6% of microvessels contained neutrophils vs. 2.6% in sham group), the latter prevented by a selectin blocker, sulfatide, 20 microg/ml. These alterations were completely prevented by 0.5 and 5 nM, but not 0.05 nM, tezosentan, and were greatly attenuated by BQ 123, 1 and 10 nM. The glycocalyx-protective effect of these interventions preceded their effect on neutrophil adhesion. Superoxide dismutase, 150 IU/ml, reported before by us to protect post-ischemic endothelium glycocalyx, here prevented the post-ischemic endothelial dysfunction and neutrophil adhesion. The data imply that neutrophil adhesion in ischemic/reperfused guinea-pig heart is a selectin-dependent process, secondary to mostly endothelin ET(A) receptor- and free radical-mediated functional and/or structural changes in the coronary endothelium. Thus, endothelin ET(A)/ET(B) as well as ET(A) receptor antagonists may be useful in attenuation of the inflammatory response in ischemic/reperfused heart. The antagonists may be effective because of their direct effect on neutrophils, as demonstrated by others, and because they provide endothelial protection, as demonstrated here.

Abstract
The expression of cell-surface antigens can delineate specific leucocyte developmental or functional stages. For example, certain membrane glycoproteins are expressed selectively on leucocyte subsets only after activation. Leucocyte activation can also induce changes in carbohydrate epitopes expressed on surface antigens. In the present studies, we report on a novel monoclonal immunoglobulin M antibody (mAb 13.22) that recognizes a unique carbohydrate epitope expressed on human leucocyte membrane proteins. Characterization of mAb 13.22 specificity by immunoblotting showed that it recognized proteins of MW approximately 95 000 and 150 000, including both CD18 and CD11b. The mAb 13.22 epitope was removed by N-glycosidase F but not by endoglycosidase H or fucosidase, demonstrating that it is an N-linked carbohydrate antigen. Interestingly, immunoblot staining was enhanced after neuraminidase treatment, suggesting that the antibody epitope might also be partially masked by sialic acid. In resting leucocytes, the mAb 13.22 antigen was expressed strongly on neutrophils, while dull staining was present on monocytes, and no lymphocyte staining was observed. In marked contrast, treatment of leucocytes with neuraminidase resulted in exposure of a mAb 13.22 neoepitope on a subset of lymphocytes (primarily T lymphocytes and natural killer cells) as well as up-regulated staining more than 18-fold on monocytes. Activation of lymphocytes in culture with phytohaemagglutinin or concanavalin A also unmasked the mAb 13.22 neoepitope on approximately 37% of the CD45RO+ lymphocytes. Furthermore, analysis of leucocytes collected from the synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis showed that approximately 18% of the lymphocytes present expressed the mAb 13.22 neoepitope. Taken together, our results suggest that the mAb 13.22 carbohydrate neoepitope could represent a physiologically relevant marker that is up-regulated on leucocyte subsets during the inflammatory response.

Abstract
Here we present experimental evidence that phagocytic cells use modulation of specific components of their glycocalyx to regulate their binding capacity. Particles coated with antibodies specific for the CD32 medium affinity IgG receptor were driven along human monocytic THP-1 cells (expressing CD32) in a flow chamber operated at low shear rate. Surprisingly, only minimal adhesion was observed. However, when cells were activated by exposure to fibronectin-coated surfaces and/or soluble γ interferon, adhesion efficiency was dramatically increased, whereas the apparent glycocalyx thickness displayed 20% decrease, and the surface density of CD43/leukosialin carbohydrate epitopes displayed 30–40% decrease on activated cells. The existence of a causal link between adhesion increase and glycocalyx alteration was strongly supported by the finding that (i) both phenomena displayed similar kinetics, (ii) an inverse relationship between THP-1 cell binding capacity and glycocalyx density was demonstrated at the individual cell level, and (iii) adhesion enhancement could not be ascribed to an increased binding site density or improved functional capacity of activated cells. Additional experiments revealed that cell-to-particle adhesion resulted in delayed (i.e. more than a few minutes) egress of CD43/leukosialin from contact areas. Since the time scale of particle attachment was less than a second, surface mobility should not affect the potential of CD43 to impair the initial step of adhesion. Finally, studies performed with fluorescent lectins suggested that THP-1 cell activation and increased adhesive potential were related to a decrease of O-glysosylation rather than N-glycosylation of surface glycoproteins.

Abstract
This study analyzed the behavior of an antiadhesive membrane molecule, CD43, in neutrophil polarization and locomotion. CD43 cross-linking by antibodies induced neutrophil locomotion, with CD43 molecules clustered at the uropod of polarized neutrophils. In contrast, CD11b/CD18 cross-linking by antibodies did not affect either cell polarization or locomotion. Stimulation of suspended or adherent neutrophils with chemotactic peptide results in cell polarization and locomotion and a concomitant redistribution of CD43 to the uropod. This process is entirely reversible. The study also investigated which actin-binding protein could be involved in CD43 lateral redistribution. -Actinin and moesin are preferentially adsorbed on Sepharose beads bearing a recombinant CD43 intracellular domain. Analysis by immunofluorescence confocal microscopy shows a codistribution of moesin during CD43 lateral redistribution. By contrast, -actinin is located at the leading edge, an area devoid of CD43. These results shed new light on the role of CD43 membrane redistribution, which appears to be directly related to neutrophil polarity and locomotion.

Abstract
Cell shape control is complex since it may involve multiple cytoskeletal components and metabolic pathways. Here we present a kinetic study of the mechanical and structural responses of cells from the monocytic THP-1 line to a rapid increase of cytosolic calcium level. Cells were exposed to ionomycin in a medium of varying calcium concentration and they were probed at regular intervals for (1) cortical rigidity as determined with micropipette aspiration, and (2) content and distribution of polymerized actin, myosin or ABP-280, as determined with flow cytometry and/or confocal microscopy. An increase of free intracellular calcium level induced: (1) a biphasic deformability change with marked stiffening within a second, and significant softening a minute later; (2) a biphasic change of actin polymerization with initial decrease (within less than a second) and rapid recovery (within a few seconds); (3) a topographical redistribution of microfilaments with an oscillatory behavior of the cortical fraction, while no substantial redistribution of myosin or ABP-280 was detected. It is suggested that a regulation of cell rigidity might be achieved without any structural change by suitable modulation of the lifetime of bridges formed between microfilaments by actin binding proteins.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This review was aimed at summarizing recent advances in the understanding of cell adhesion in order to discuss the possible relevance of new knowledge to the exploration of cancer patients and elaboration of therapeutic strategies. CURRENT KNOWLEDGE AND KEY POINTS During the last 10 years, many adhesion molecules were identified, thus allowing to determine their tissue distribution and functional regulation. The concept of adhesiveness was refined. It is now well known that adhesive rate (i.e., the minimal contact time required for bond formation) and binding strength (i.e., the minimal force required to detach bound cells) are distinct parameters. They may be regulated independently, and influence the cell behavior in different ways. It is now possible to achieve accurate control of tumor cell adhesiveness, either by inhibiting an adhesive mechanism (through monoclonal antibodies, competitive ligands, or inhibition of receptor expression with antisense strategy or gene knock-out) or by promoting a binding mechanism (with receptor transfection or pro-inflammatory stimulation). FUTURE PROSPECTS AND PROJECTS Recent progress opens new possibilities for diagnosis and treatment. First, the interpretation of experimental data may be improved. Cell adhesive behavior is not entirely accounted for by the density of membrane adhesion receptors. Indeed, adhesion is influenced by receptor connection to the cytoskeleton and structure of the cell coat. An adhesion receptor may be anti-metastatic through an increase in tumor cohesion and cell differentiation, or pro-metastatic, through facilitation of cell migration towards a target tissue. New therapeutic strategies may include anti-adhesive procedure aimed at preventing metastasis formation. The potential importance of a better control of inflammatory processes is also emphasized in view of the influence of these processes on the expression of adhesion molecules.

Abstract
Large polysaccharide molecules composing the glycocalyx have been shown to prevent cell adhesion. However, this process was not observed microscopically. Terbium labeling, combined with a new quantitative imaging method based on electron energy loss spectroscopy, allowed specific glycocalyx staining with excellent contrast. Image analysis enabled us to compare glycocalyx structure in free membrane areas and contacts between monocytic cells and bound erythrocytes. Apparent glycocalyx thickness, in contact areas, was half of the sum of glycocalyx thicknesses in free areas without label density increase. Ultrastructural immunogold localization of CD43 molecules, a major component of glycocalyx, was also demonstrated to be excluded from contact areas during adhesion. Thus, both approaches strongly suggest that some glycocalyx elements must exit from contact to allow binding of adhesion molecules.

Abstract
We report that the cell surface mucin CD43 acts as an anti-adhesin on T lymphocytes. CD43-deficient murine lymphocytes homed significantly more frequently to secondary lymphoid organs than wild-type cells. Intravital microscopy of peripheral lymph node venules revealed that CD43-deficient lymphocytes were twice as likely to tether, roll, and stick than wild-type cells. This effect was due to CD43 interference with the homing receptor, L-selectin, and was most pronounced in venules with low L-selectin ligand density. In vitro, CD43-deficient cells tethered to L-selectin ligands more efficiently and rolled more slowly than wild-type lymphocytes. Thus, CD43 exerts a negative regulatory effect on T cell trafficking by counterbalancing L-selectin-mediated adhesion.
