Abstract
In response to different immune challenges, immune cells migrate to specific sites in the body, where they perform their functions such as defense against infection, inflammation regulation, antigen recognition, and immune surveillance. Therefore, the migration ability is a fundamental aspect of immune cell function. Phosphoinositide signaling plays critical roles in modulating immune cell migration by controlling cell polarization, cytoskeletal rearrangement, protrusion formation, and uropod contraction. Upon chemoattractant stimulation, specific phosphoinositide kinases and phosphatases control the local phosphoinositide levels to establish polarized phosphoinositide distribution, which recruits phosphoinositide effectors to distinct subcellular locations to facilitate cell migration. In this Special Issue of "Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Cell Adhesion and Migration", we discuss the significance of phosphoinositide production and conversion by phosphoinositide kinases and phosphatases in the migration of different types of immune cells.

Abstract
T cells control the focus and extent of adaptive immunity in infectious and pathological diseases. The activation of T cells occurs when the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) and costimulatory and/or adhesion receptors are engaged by their ligands. This process drives signaling that promotes cytoskeletal rearrangement and transcription factor activation, both of which regulate the quality and magnitude of the T cell response. However, it is not fully understood how different receptor-induced signals combine to alter T cell activation. The related non-receptor tyrosine kinases focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (Pyk2) are phosphorylated downstream of the TCR and several costimulatory and adhesion receptors. FAK family proteins integrate receptor-mediated signals that influence actin cytoskeletal rearrangement and effector T cell responses. In this review, we summarize the receptor-specific roles that FAK and Pyk2 control to influence T cell development and activation.

Abstract
TCR-induced signaling controls T cell activation that drives adaptive immunity against infections, but it can also induce dysfunctional T cell responses that promote pathologic disease. The PI3K pathway regulates many downstream effector responses after TCR stimulation. However, the molecular mechanisms that induce PI3K function downstream of the TCR are not fully understood. We have previously shown that Pyk2 is activated downstream of the TCR in a PI3K-independent manner. Although Pyk2 controls adhesion, proliferation, and cytokine production in T cells, the mechanisms by which it controls these processes are not known. In this study, we generated Pyk2-deficient human T cells to elucidate further the role that this kinase plays in TCR-induced effector functions and signaling. We observed that Pyk2 localized with the p85 regulatory subunit of PI3K at the LAT complex and that PI3K-dependent signaling was impaired in Pyk2-deficient T cells. Likewise, functions downstream of PI3K, including IFN-γ production and proliferation, were also suppressed in human T cells deficient in Pyk2. Collectively, these data demonstrate that Pyk2 is a critical regulator of PI3K function downstream of the TCR.

Abstract
The neuroregulatory activities of PMS-601, a platelet activating factor antagonist, were investigated in laboratory and animal models of HIV-1 encephalitis (HIVE). For the former, PMS-601 reduced monocyte-derived macrophage pro-inflammatory secretions, multinucleated giant cell (MGC) formation, and neuronal loss independent of antiretroviral responses. PMS-601 treatment of HIVE severe combined immunodeficient mice showed reduced microgliosis, MGCs and neurodegeneration. These observations support the further development of PMS-601 as an adjunctive therapy for HIV-1 associated neurocognitive disorders.

Abstract
Numerous extracellular stimuli trigger trans-autophosphorylation at Tyr402 of Pyk2, inducing its activation. Pyk2 is a key mediator of several signaling pathways and has been implicated in apoptosis induced by specific stress signals. We investigated whether Pyk2 participates in cerebellar granule neuron (CGN) apoptosis induced by the suppression of membrane depolarization. We demonstrate that shifting CGN cultures from 25 mM to 5 mM KCl-containing medium induces an early, transient 70% increase in phosphorylated Tyr402 and Tyr580 Pyk2 levels that is triggered by Ca(2+) released from intracellular stores and mediated by calmodulin (CaM). Overexpression of Pyk2 increases CGN survival after 24 h by 70% compared to the control, thus suggesting that Pyk2 is involved in an anti-apoptotic response to K+ lowering. Furthermore, we show that CGN grown in K25 medium exhibit detectable CaM-dependent Pyk2 activity. When silencing Pyk2 activity by expressing a dominant-negative form, only 40% of the transfected neurons were alive 24 h after transfection when compared to the control. Overall, the present findings demonstrate for the first time that Pyk2 is a critical mediator of CGN survival.

Abstract
Pyk2 is a protein tyrosine kinase expressed primarily in brain and hematopoietic cells. It becomes activated in response to stimulation through numerous receptors, including integrins, chemokine receptors, and antigen receptors, and is found in association with src-family kinases. Although this enzyme associates with many proteins known to be important for activation and has many characteristics of a scaffolding protein, its function remains elusive. A number of studies in non-T-cells suggest that Pyk2 is important for cell spreading, cell migration, and integrin function; however, a defined role in T-cells has not been established. Here, we discuss evidence that implicates Pyk2 in directionality of signaling, which is essential to establishment of the directional killing mediated by cytotoxic lymphocytes.

Abstract
The chemokine macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha (MIP-1alpha) stimulates migration of B cells and affects B cell immunoglobulin production. However, the molecular mechanisms by which MIP-1alpha modulates these biologic effects have not been completely defined. Previously, we demonstrated that treatment of B cells with MIP-1alpha induced the transcription factor, nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB, to bind to DNA, concomitant with the degradation of IkappaBalpha, a cytoplasmic inhibitor of NF-kappaB activation. Here, we report that MIP-1alpha treatment of tonsil B cells induced IkappaB gene expression that was dependent on MIP-1alpha-mediated activation of a pathway(s) involving NF-kappaB and phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K). The NF-kappaB pathway is understood to be controlled in an autoregulatory fashion, so expression of IkappaB is thought to provide a means by which B cells modulate this pathway after stimulation with MIP-1alpha. Although the idea of NF-kappaB autoregulation is not novel, this is the first report to suggest the regulation of B cell gene expression by MIP-1alpha. In addition, we observed the activation of Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 mitogenic-activated protein kinase (MAPK), but not extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) in response to MIP-1alpha. Although p38 and NF-kappaB activity were both necessary for B cell migration, IkappaB gene expression was not affected by p38 inhibition, suggesting that p38 is involved in a separate MIP-1alpha-mediated signal transduction pathway.

Abstract
Survival signals such as insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) or membrane depolarization convey their neuronal protective effects through the activation of signaling networks and nuclear factors. In cerebellar granule neurons, IGF-1 mediates survival primarily through the PI3K/Akt pathway. The function of the transcription factor myocyte enhancer factor-2 (MEF2) is required for mediating membrane depolarization-dependent neuronal survival. However, whether PI3K/Akt regulates MEF2 and the role of MEF2 in IGF-1-mediated survival of neurons are unknown. In addition, the contribution of the PI3K/Akt pathway in membrane depolarization-induced neuronal survival remains undefined. We show here that the PI3K/Akt pathway promotes the survival of cerebellar granule neurons derived from Long-Evans rats following IGF-1 stimulation or membrane depolarization through regulation of MEF2 activity. IGF-1 stimulated the gene transactivation activity of MEF2 and its DNA binding potential. Moreover, regulation of MEF2 function by IGF-1 was dependent on the activity of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Blocking MEF2 function reduced IGF-1-induced survival of cerebellar granule neurons. Membrane depolarization stimulated phosphorylation of Akt in cerebellar granule neurons. Blocking of the PI3K/Akt pathway with either a pharmacological inhibitor of PI3K, LY294002, or dominant negative mutants of PI3K and Akt inhibited the membrane depolarization-induced increase in MEF2 transactivation as well as its DNA binding activity and reduced neuronal survival. Together, these findings provide clear evidence to support an important role of the PI3K/Akt pathway in the regulation of nuclear survival factor MEF2 upon either IGF-1 stimulation or membrane depolarization, thus placing MEF2 as a novel downstream effector of the PI3K/Akt pathway in neurons.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE beta1-integrins mediate hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell homing and retention in the bone marrow (BM) and inhibit hematopoietic proliferation and differentiation. Having no intrinsic kinase activity, integrins recruit intracellular kinases, such as the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) or the related proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (PYK2), to initiate signal transduction. Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K), which is involved in beta1-integrin signaling in many cell types, is physically and functionally associated with FAK in anchorage-dependent cells. Because PYK2 is the principal focal adhesion kinase expressed in primary human CD34+ cells, we assessed its functional relationship with PI3K in CD34+ cells in response to integrin engagement. METHODS beta1-integrins on primary mobilized peripheral blood CD34+ cells and CD34+ KG1A cells were engaged by adhesion to fibronectin (FN) or by cross-linking with an anti-beta1 integrin antibody, respectively. PI3K activity and PYK2 phosphorylation were then assessed in the presence or absence of the PI3K inhibitor, wortmannin. Association between PI3K, PYK2, and the beta1-integrin subunit were also evaluated in co-immunoprecipitation experiments. RESULTS beta1-integrin engagement induced PI3K activation, which was required for, and temporally preceded, PYK2 phosphorylation, indicating that PI3K lies upstream of PYK2 in CD34+ cells. Furthermore, although PYK2 and PI3K were constitutively associated, interaction of the PYK2/PI3K complex with beta1-integrins required prior integrin engagement and PI3K activation. CONCLUSION Activation of PI3K following beta1-integrin engagement on human CD34+ cells results in subsequent phosphorylation of PYK2, and is required for the recruitment of the PI3K/PYK2 complex to beta1-integrins at the cell surface.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) has been described as an important factor in proliferation, cell survival and migration of multiple myeloma (MM) cells. Angiogenesis correlates with development and prognosis of the MM disease. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the prominent factors involved in this process. The different functions of IGF-1 were investigated in the 5TMM mouse model with emphasis on proliferation, migration and VEGF secretion, and the signalling pathways involved. Western Blot analysis revealed that ERK1/2 and Akt (PKB) were activated after IGF-1 stimulation. The activation of ERK1/2 was reduced by the PI3K inhibitor Wortmannin, implying that the PI3K pathway is involved in its activation. Insulin-like growth factor-1 induced an increase in DNA synthesis in MM cells, which was mediated by a PI3K/Akt-MEK/ERK pathway. Insulin-like growth factor-1 enhanced F-actin assembly and this process was only PI3K mediated. Stimulation by IGF-1 of VEGF production was reduced by PD98059, indicating that only the MEK–ERK pathway is involved in IGF-1-stimulated VEGF production. In conclusion, IGF-1 mediates its multiple effects on MM cells through different signal transduction pathways. In the future, we can study the potential in vivo effects of IGF-1 inhibition on tumour growth and angiogenesis in MM.

Abstract
Engagement of very late Ag-4 (integrin alpha(4)beta(1)) by ligands such as VCAM-1 markedly stimulates leukocyte migration mediated by LFA-1 (integrin alpha(L)beta(2)). This form of integrin trans-regulation in T cells requires the binding of paxillin to the alpha(4) integrin cytoplasmic domain. This conclusion is based on the abolition of trans-regulation in Jurkat T cells by an alpha(4) mutation (alpha(4)(Y991A)) that disrupts paxillin binding. Furthermore, cellular expression of an alpha(4)-binding fragment of paxillin that blocks the alpha(4)-paxillin interaction, selectively blocked VCAM-1 stimulation of alpha(L)beta(2)-dependent cell migration. The alpha(4)-paxillin association mediates trans-regulation by enhancing the activation of tyrosine kinases, focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and/or proline-rich tyrosine kinase-2 (Pyk2), based on two lines of evidence. First, disruption of the paxillin-binding site in the alpha(4) tail resulted in much less alpha(4)beta(1)-mediated phosphorylation of Pyk2 and FAK. Second, transfection with cDNAs encoding C-terminal fragments of Pyk2 and FAK, which block the function of the intact kinases, blocked alpha(4)beta(1) stimulation of alpha(L)beta(2)-dependent migration. These results define a proximal protein-protein interaction of an integrin cytoplasmic domain required for trans-regulation between integrins, and establish that augmented activation of Pyk2 and/or FAK is an immediate signaling event required for the trans-regulation of integrin alpha(L)beta(2) by alpha(4)beta(1).

Abstract
Optimal T-cell activation requires both an antigen-specific and a costimulatory signal. The outcome of T-cell activation can be influenced by the nature of the costimulatory signal the T cell receives. We recently demonstrated the ability of stimulation through intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), resident on the T-cell surface, to provide a second signal for T-cell activation, and have extended that work here to begin an examination of the functional outcome of this set of signals. Costimulation through ICAM-1 resulted in a greater percentage of cells having undergone more than three divisions when compared to costimulation through leucocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1). Costimulation through ICAM-1 also had an effect similar to costimulation through CD28 in its ability to down-regulate the cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor p27kip1. Costimulation through ICAM-1 provided greater protection from apoptosis than costimulation through LFA-1, especially in cells having divided more than three times. This was supported by the ability of costimulation through ICAM-1 to up-regulate the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2. Finally, costimulation through ICAM-1 or CD28 produced a greater number of T cells with a memory phenotype than costimulation through LFA-1.

Abstract
Regulation of T cell activation requires two signals. First, appropriately presented Ag in the context of MHC interacts with the T cell Ag receptor-CD3 complex. The best-studied second signal is CD28, which resides on the T cell and responds to its counter receptor, B7. A second signal also can be delivered through LFA-1 residing on the T cell, responding to its counter receptor ICAM-1 residing on a different cell. Characterization of a second signal is tied to its ability to costimulate (along with stimulation through the TCR) proliferation, IL-2 secretion, and coactivation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. We examined whether ICAM-1, residing on the T cell surface, could deliver a second signal into that T cell. Costimulation through CD3 plus ICAM-1 caused increased T cell proliferation, increased expression of the activation marker CD69, increased transcription through the IL-2 regulatory region, and increased secretion of selected Th1 but not Th2 cytokines. Costimulation through CD3 plus ICAM-1 caused synergistic activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. Finally, the combination of anti-CD3 plus anti-ICAM-1 (but not anti-CD3 alone) caused prolonged proliferation of naive T cells in a manner similar to costimulation through LFA-1 or CD28. Thus, we demonstrate for the first time that ICAM-1 resident on a T cell can deliver a costimulatory signal into that T cell.

Abstract
CD22 is a B cell-specific member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and binds to sialic acid. CD22 inhibits B cell receptor signaling. Mice deficient for CD22 show a largely normal B cell development. Here, we have performed a detailed analysis of the splenic B cell population and found that the subset of marginal zone (MZ) B cells was selectively reduced in CD22-deficient mice. CD22-deficient mice showed a lack of TNP-ficoll capturing cells in the MZ and a reduced response to TNP-ficoll, particularly when the antigen was applied intravenously. CD22-deficient B cells showed both enhanced motility as well as enhanced chemotaxis to certain chemokines. The altered chemokine responsiveness or the higher signaling capacity of CD22-deficient B cells may lead to the compromised MZ B cell compartment, as both processes have previously been shown to affect MZ composition.
