Abstract
Integrins are adhesion receptors on the cell surface that enable cells to respond to their environment. Most integrins are heterodimers, comprising α and β type I transmembrane glycoprotein chains with large extracellular domains and short cytoplasmic tails. Integrins deliver signals through multiprotein complexes at the cell surface, which interact with cytoskeletal and signaling proteins to influence gene expression, cell proliferation, morphology, and migration. Integrin expression on γδ T cells (γδTc) has not been systematically investigated; however, reports in the literature dating back to the early 1990s reveal an understated role for integrins in γδTc function. Over the years, integrins have been investigated on resting and/or activated peripheral blood-derived polyclonal γδTc, γδTc clones, as well as γδ T intraepithelial lymphocytes. Differences in integrin expression have been found between αβ T cells (αβTc) and γδTc, as well as between Vδ1 and Vδ2 γδTc. While most studies have focused on human γδTc, research has also been carried out in mouse and bovine models. Roles attributed to γδTc integrins include adhesion, signaling, activation, migration, tissue localization, tissue retention, cell spreading, cytokine secretion, tumor infiltration, and involvement in tumor cell killing. This review attempts to encompass all reports of integrins expressed on γδTc published prior to December 2017, highlights areas warranting further investigation, and discusses the relevance of integrin expression for γδTc function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pulmonary diseases associated with fibrosis, including scleroderma lung disease, are characterized by the accumulation of T cells in the lungs. These cells are thought to facilitate lung fibrosis, but the exact mechanisms of their profibrotic action are not clear. Several alphaV-containing integrins, including alphaVbeta3 and alphaVbeta5, have been shown to directly activate transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) and promote collagen accumulation. The aim of this study was to investigate whether pulmonary T cells express profibrotic integrins and regulate collagen accumulation. METHODS Expression of integrins was assessed by immunohistochemical analysis of lung tissue, by flow cytometry using bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc), and in a CCL18 overexpression animal model of pulmonary T cell infiltration. Experiments in cell cultures were performed to determine whether integrin-expressing T cells are profibrotic in cocultures with pulmonary fibroblasts and, if so, through what possible mechanism. RESULTS Lymphocytes and integrin-positive cells were present in the lungs, and pulmonary T cells expressed integrins alphaVbeta3 and alphaVbeta5 in patients with SSc and in the animal model. Systemic administration of neutralizing anti-integrin alphaV antibody or a genetic deficiency of integrin beta3 in the CCL18 overexpression model significantly attenuated CCL18-driven pulmonary lymphocytic infiltration and collagen accumulation. Jurkat T cells overexpressing integrin alphaVbeta3 or integrin alphaVbeta5 in cocultures with primary pulmonary fibroblasts stimulated collagen accumulation and Smad2 nuclear translocation. Neutralizing anti-TGFbeta antibody attenuated the profibrotic effect of integrin-expressing T cells. CONCLUSION Pulmonary infiltrating T lymphocytes may express integrins alphaVbeta3 and alphaVbeta5 that are necessary for lymphocytic infiltration and T cell-associated TGFbeta activation and collagen accumulation.

Abstract
Cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions are of critical importance in immunobiology. Leukocytes make extensive use of a specialized repertoire of receptors to mediate such processes. Among these receptors, integrins are known to be of crucial importance. This review deals with the central role of integrins and their counterreceptors during the establishment of leukocyte-endothelium contacts, interstitial migration, and final encounter with antigen-presenting cells to develop an appropriate immune response. Particularly, we have addressed the molecular events occurring during these sequential processes, leading to the dynamic subcellular redistribution of adhesion receptors and the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, which is reflected in changes in cytoarchitecture, including leukocyte polarization, endothelial docking structure formation, or immune synapse organization. The roles of signaling and structural actin cytoskeleton-associated proteins and organized membrane microdomains in the regulation of receptor adhesiveness are also discussed.

Abstract
The vascular endothelial basement membrane and extra cellular matrix is a compilation of different macromolecules organized by physical entanglements, opposing ionic charges, chemical covalent bonding, and cross-linking into a biomechanically active polymer. These matrices provide a gel-like form and scaffolding structure with regional tensile strength provided by collagens, elasticity by elastins, adhesiveness by structural glycoproteins, compressibility by proteoglycans – hyaluronans, and communicability by a family of integrins, which exchanges information between cells and between cells and the extracellular matrix of vascular tissues. Each component of the extracellular matrix and specifically the capillary basement membrane possesses unique structural properties and interactions with one another, which determine the separate and combined roles in the multiple diabetic complications or diabetic opathies. Metabolic syndrome, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and their parallel companion (atheroscleropathy) are associated with multiple metabolic toxicities and chronic injurious stimuli. The adaptable quality of a matrix or form genetically preloaded with the necessary information to communicate and respond to an ever-changing environment, which supports the interstitium, capillary and arterial vessel wall is individually examined.

Abstract
Hybridomas expressing murine gammadelta T-cell receptors were found to produce cytokines in response to cardiolipin (CL) and structurally related anionic phospholipids. This response required serum at concentrations related to the amount of CL in cultures. The purified serum factor, beta2-glycoprotein 1 (beta2-GP1) (apolipoprotein H), supported the CL response alone, whereas several other serum proteins and ovalbumin did not. beta2-GP1 is known to form complexes with anionic phospholipids, particularly CL, which are often recognized by pathological autoantibodies. We speculate that gammadelta T cells also recognize such complexes and that the hybridoma response reported here reflects this specificity.

Abstract
To clarify the function of integrin alpha(v)beta3 in the early stage of liver metastasis, we investigated the interactions of metastatic cells with their target organ under the actual blood flow by using positron emission tomography (PET). The cells used were CHO-K1 cells and their transfectants bearing human integrin alpha(v)beta3 cDNA (alpha(v)beta3-CHO-K1 cells). The liver accumulation of alpha(v)beta3-CHO-K1 cells was significantly higher than that of CHO-K1 cells after injection via the portal vein, whereas no significant difference was observed in the lung accumulation after tail vein injection, suggesting a specific interaction of alpha(v)beta3-CHO-K1 cells with the hepatic sinusoids. Furthermore, to clarify the precise location of each cell in the liver, i.e., to determine whether individual cells were intravascularly localized or had extravasated, we performed intravital fluorescence microscopy (IVM) on the liver by using stable transfectants bearing the green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene, namely, GFP-CHO-K1 and GFP-alpha(v)beta3-CHO-K1 cells. Both types of cells remained in the hepatic blood vessels 1 h after injection via the portal vein. On the other hand, expression of integrin alpha(v)beta3 promoted the cells to reach the extravascular region after 24 h. These results suggest the possibility that the specific accumulation of alpha(v)beta3-CHO-K1 cells in the liver is followed by migration of the cells into the extravascular region. Interestingly, the adhesion of the two types of cells to hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells in vitro did not correspond to in vivo accumulation of these cells. Therefore, integrin alpha(v)beta3 may function to promote extravasation of integrin alpha(v)beta3-expressing tumor cells in liver through a process possibly mediated by vitronectin produced by this organ.

Abstract
Hantaviruses cause two potentially lethal diseases, HPS and HFRS, and both diseases result in defects in vascular permeability and platelet function. Human beta 3 integrins confer cellular susceptibility to HPS- and HFRS-causing hantaviruses, a fact directly linking platelets, endothelial cells, and hantavirus diseases to the use of [figure: see text] cellular receptors that maintain capillary integrity and regulate platelet function. The role of vitronectin, PAI-1, uPAR, and complement cascades in hantavirus pathogenesis are unstudied but may contribute to specific disease syndromes effected by hantaviruses. The divergence of hantavirus surface glycoproteins and common beta 3-integrin usage provides further insight into the interaction of hantaviruses with cells. G1 and G2 glycoprotein variation is likely to contribute to additional interactions that determine pathogenic responses to individual viruses. beta 3-integrin usage also suggests that common elements exist on G1 or the more highly conserved G2 surface glycoprotein, which mediate viral attachment to integrins. Although there is currently no data defining the virion attachment protein, the development of antibodies that recognize the hantavirus attachment protein and block integrin interactions is of interest since it is likely to provide an additional point for therapeutic intervention and vaccine development. There are a plethora of effects that could be elicited by hantavirus regulation of cellular beta 3 integrins and their ligands that are consistent with hantavirus diseases. Since beta 3 integrins are critical adhesive receptors on platelets and endothelial cells and regulate both vascular permeability and platelet activation and adhesion, the use of these receptors by hantaviruses is likely to be fundamental to hantavirus pathogenesis. The lack of an animal model for hantavirus pathogenesis has prevented a systematic analysis of immune and cellular responses to hantavirus infections, and it impedes our ability to study protective or therapeutic approaches to hantavirus diseases. However, recent findings suggest that human beta 3 integrins within transgenic mice may provide animal models of hantavirus pathogenesis and have the potential to radically alter the ability to investigate hantavirus disease.

Abstract
Targeted drug delivery has gained recognition in modern therapeutics and attempts are being made to explore the potentials and possibilities of cell biology related bioevents in the development of specific, programmed and target oriented systems. The components which have been recognized to be tools include receptors and ligands, where the receptors act as molecular targets or portals, and ligands, with receptor specificity and selectivity, are trafficked en route to the target site. Although ligands of exogenous or synthetic origin contribute to the selectivity component of carrier constructs, they may impose immunological manifestations of different magnitudes. The latter may entail a continual quest for bio-compatible, non-immunogenic and target orientated delivery. Endogenous serum, cellular and extracellular bio-ligands interact with the colloidal carrier constructs and influence their bio-fate. However, these endogenous bio-ligands can themselves serve as targeting modules either in their native form or engineered as carrier cargo. Bio-regulatory, nutrient and immune ligands are sensitive, specific and effective site directing handles which add to targeted drug delivery. The present review provides an exhaustive account of the identified bio-ligands, which are not only non-immunogenic in nature but also site-specific. The cell-related bioevents which are instrumental in negotiating the uptake of bio-ligands are discussed. Further, a brief account of ligand-receptor interactions and the set of biological events which ensures ligand-driven trafficking of the ligand-receptor complex to the cellular interior is also presented. Since ligand-receptor interaction is a critical pre-requisite for negotiating cellular uptake of endogenous ligands and anchored carrier cargo, an attempt has been made to identify differential expression of receptors and bio-ligands under normal and etiological conditions. Studies which judiciously utilized bio-ligands or their analogs in negotiating site-specific drug delivery have been reviewed and presented. Targeted delivery of bioactives using endogenous bio-ligands offers enormous options and opportunities through carrier construct engineering and could become a future reality in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immunosuppressive drugs that target T cells are useful for prolonging allograft survival. The anti-CD3 immunotoxin FN18-CRM9 has been shown to effectively prolong renal allograft survival in a rhesus monkey model of transplantation. However, immunotoxin-treated monkeys showed increased levels of inflammatory cytokines and produced antibodies to donor proteins. To better understand the role of FN18-CRM9 in the production of cytokines and anti-donor antibodies in the monkey model, we examined whether this immunotoxin elicits functional responses in T cells. METHODS Purified normal rhesus monkey T cells (>98% purity) were incubated with immunotoxin FN18-CRM9 or the unconjugated anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies and then examined for changes in protein tyrosine phosphorylation, adhesion to fibronectin, gene expression, and proliferation in the presence or absence of anti-CD28 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) and interleukin-2. RESULTS Immunotoxin treatment of T cells in vitro increased protein tyrosine phosphorylation, cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix, and expression of the inflammatory cytokines interferon-gamma and tumor necrosis factor-alpha. These immunotoxin effects were similar in magnitude to those induced by the unconjugated mAb. In contrast, immunotoxin-induced T cell proliferation was markedly less than that induced by the unconjugated mAb. Interestingly, the mitogenic molecules IL-2 and anti-CD28 mAb did not prevent immunotoxin-induced inhibition of cell proliferation. CONCLUSIONS The activation of T cells for protein phosphorylation, adhesion, and cytokine expression strongly suggests that the actions of FN18-CRM9 in vivo are not limited to the inhibition of protein synthesis.

Abstract
Lymphocytes accumulate within the extracellular matrix (ECM) of tumor, wound, or inflammatory tissues. These tissues are largely comprised of polymerized adhesion proteins such as fibrin and fibronectin or their fragments. Nonactivated lymphoid cells attach preferentially to polymerized ECM proteins yet are unable to attach to monomeric forms or fragments of these proteins without previous activation. This adhesion event depends on the appropriate spacing of integrin adhesion sites. Adhesion of nonactivated lymphoid cells to polymeric ECM components results in activation of the antigen receptor-associated Syk kinase that accumulates in adhesion-promoting podosomes. In fact, activation of Syk by antigen or agonists, as well as expression of an activated Syk mutant in lymphoid cells, facilitates their adhesion to monomeric ECM proteins or their fragments. These results reveal a cooperative interaction between signals emanating from integrins and antigen receptors that can serve to regulate stable lymphoid cell adhesion and retention within a remodeling ECM.

Abstract
Immune-mediated diseases of the CNS and PNS, such as multiple sclerosis and Guillain-Barré syndrome, respectively, constitute a major cause of transient and permanent neurological disability in the adult. The aetiology and pathogenesis of these disorders are only partially understood. On a cellular level, focal mononuclear-cell infiltration with demyelination and eventual axonal loss is a crucial pathogenetic event that leads to inflammation and subsequent dysfunction. Here, the evidence that integrins, a family of cell adhesion molecules, expressed on neural and immune cells might play a central role in immune cell recruitment to the CNS and PNS, and probably in tissue repair is reviewed. Distinct integrin expression patterns are observed in multiple sclerosis and Guillain-Barré syndrome. Therapeutic targeting of integrins has been very successful in the corresponding animal models and holds promise as a novel treatment strategy to combat human immune-mediated disorders of the nervous system.
