Abstract
CD14 is the primary receptor for lipopolysaccharide (LPS)that plays important roles in host defense and subserves other host-related biological functions. We previously identified CD14 on cultured human retinal pigment epithelial (HRPE) cells using immunocytochemical techniques. In this study, we investigated immunoreactive HRPE CD14 expression by immunohistochemically staining HRPE cells and HRPE cells in sections of human eyes with anti-CD14 monoclonal antibodies (mAb). Constitutive HRPE gene and protein expression were confirmed by semiquantitative PCR and western blotting. ELISA for cell-associated and secreted (s) HRPE CD14 revealed that specific digestion by phosphoinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) significantly reduced (P<0.01) cell-associated HRPE CD14 which was not modulated by LPS or gamma-IFN. ELISA of the conditioned media (CM) of HRPE cells treated with PI-PLC contained significantly more (P<0.001) sCD14, but sCD14 was not modulated by LPS or gamma-IFN. FACS analysis confirmed HRPE cell surface CD14. To show functional CD14, fluorescently-labelled LPS and CD14 were demonstrated to show significant co-localization on live, cultured HRPE cells in close proximity (<7A) as demonstrated by resonance energy transfer of the fluorescent ligands (P<0.0001). Significant inhibition (P<0.001) of LPS-induced IL-8 secretion, as measured by ELISA, occurred in the presence of function blocking anti-CD14 mAb. Significant inhibition of LPS-induced HRPE IL-8 secretion by PKC, PTK, PI3 kinase, and p38 kinase inhibitors indicated cell mediators responsible for LPS-induced HRPE chemokine secretion. This study demonstrates that HRPE cells express functional CD14 in vitro and in situ along at the outer blood-retina barrier.

Abstract
A lectin function within CD11b mediates both cytotoxic priming of Mac-1/complement receptor type 3 (CR3) by beta-glucan and the formation of transmembrane signaling complexes with GPI-anchored glycoproteins such as CD16b (FcgammaRIIIb). A requirement for GPI-anchored urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR; CD87) in neutrophil adhesion and diapedesis has been demonstrated with uPAR-knockout mice. In this study, neutrophil activation conditions generating high-affinity (H-AFN) or low-affinity (L-AFN) beta(2) integrin adhesion were explored. A role for the Mac-1/CR3 lectin domain and uPAR in mediating H-AFN or L-AFN adhesion was suggested by the inhibition of Mac-1/CR3-dependent adhesion to ICAM-1 or fibrinogen by beta-glucan or anti-uPAR. The formation of uPAR complexes with Mac-1/CR3 activated for L-AFN adhesion was demonstrated by fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Conversely, Jurkat cell LFA-1 H-AFN-adhesion to ICAM-1 was not associated with uPAR/LFA-1 complexes, any requirement for GPI-anchored glycoproteins, or inhibition by beta-glucan. A single CD11b lectin site for beta-glucan and uPAR was suggested because the binding of either beta-glucan or uPAR to Mac-1/CR3 selectively masked two CD11b epitopes adjacent to the transmembrane domain. Moreover, treatment with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C that removed GPI-anchored proteins increased CD11b-specific binding of (125)I-labeled beta-glucan by 3-fold and this was reversed with soluble recombinant uPAR. Conversely, neutrophil activation for generation of Mac-1/CR3/uPAR complexes inhibited CD11b-dependent binding of (125)I-labeled beta-glucan by 75%. These data indicate that the same lectin domain within CD11b regulates both the cytotoxic and adhesion functions of Mac-1/CR3.

Abstract
Legionella pneumophila causes Legionnaires' disease by replication in alveolar macrophages and monocytes. The bacteria are internalized most efficiently by opsonin-dependent, CR3-mediated phagocytosis. This investigation focused on determining the role of actin polymerization and phosphorylation signals in this uptake mechanism. Uptake inhibition assays and confocal microscopic analysis indicated that entry of L. pneumophila activated tyrosine kinase (TK) and protein kinase C (PKC) and induced actin polymerization at the site of bacterial entry. Upon L. pneumophila entry, six major cellular proteins (75, 71, 59, 56, 53, and 52 kDa) were TK phosphorylated in soluble fractions of monocytes, and three of these proteins (52, 53, and 56 kDa) were consistently found in insoluble (i.e., cytoskeletal) fractions of monocytes as well. Tyrosine phosphorylation was suppressed when cells were pretreated with the kinase inhibitor genistein, tyrphostin, or staurosporine. A similar tyrosine-phosphorylated protein pattern was observed with CR3-mediated entry of avirulent L. pneumophila, Escherichia coli, or zymosan into monocytes. This study has shown that PKC and TK signals which activate actin polymerization during the process of phagocytosis are induced upon L. pneumophila entry. In addition, CR3 receptor-mediated phagocytosis into monocytes may involve tyrosine phosphorylation of similar proteins, regardless of the particle being phagocytosed. Therefore, the tyrosine-induced phosphorylation observed during opsonized L. pneumophila entry is not a virulence-associated event.

Abstract
Urokinase receptors (uPAR; CD87) from complexes with complement receptor 3 (CR3) (CD11b/CD18), a beta2 integrin. In this study, we sought to determine if this association modulates the adhesive function of CR3. Both CR3 and uPAR concentrate at the ventral surface of fibrinogen-adherent human monocytes, and CR3-uPAR coupling increases substantially upon adhesion to fibrinogen. Pretreatment with anti-uPAR monoclonal antibody reduced adhesion to CR3 counterligands (fibrinogen and keyhole limpet hemocyanin) by 50%, but did not affect adhesion to fibronectin, a beta1 integrin counterligand. Antisense (AS) oligonucleotides were used to determine if selectively suppressing uPAR expression also modulates CR3 adhesive function. AS-uPAR oligo reduced CR3-dependent adhesion by 43+/-9% (P<0.01), but did not affect CR3-independent adhesion. To determine if the effects of uPAR are mediated through its ligand, monocytes were pre-treated with AS oligo to block uPA expression. Unlike the effects of blocking uPAR expression, AS-uPA oligo increased adhesion by 46% (P<0.005), and exogenous intact uPA, but not uPA fragments, reversed this effect. We conclude that complex formation with uPAR facilitates the adhesive functions of CR3. This function of uPAR is not dependent upon its occupancy with uPA, which negatively influences adhesion.

Abstract
We have explored the transmembrane associations of leukocyte function associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) in response to T cell receptor ligation using resonance energy transfer (r.e.t.) microscopy to detect receptor to microfilament proximity. R.e.t. was detected using both imaging and photon counting techniques. T cells were labeled with fluorescein-conjugated F(ab')2 fragments of an anti-LFA-1 monoclonal antibody. Cells were incubated at 37 degrees C on unmodified glass surfaces and surfaces coated with anti-CD3 or anti-H-9 antibodies. Microfilaments of fixed cells were labeled with rhodamine-phalloidin. R.e.t. was not affected on unmodified (blank) or irrelevant antibody-treated (H-9) surfaces. However, both fluorescence images and photon count rates were significantly enhanced when cells bound to anti-CD3-coated surfaces. This enhancement was not due to a general effect of T cell activation on transmembrane cytoskeletal proximity since CD45-phalloidin r.e.t. was not affected by CD3 ligation. These experiments provide direct physical evidence that ligation of the CD3 complex specifically increases the proximity of LFA-1 and microfilaments, which may be relevant to T cell mediated adherence reactions.

Abstract
In this study we test the hypothesis that reactive oxygen metabolites are delivered from neutrophils to simultaneously both the cell surface and cytosol of opsonized YAC erythroleukemic target cells. Using 5' (or 6') carboxyl-2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein (H2-CDCF) diacetate as starting material, we synthesized its succinimidyl ester derivative. H2-CDCF-conjugated IgG prepared from the succinimidyl ester derivative was used to opsonize targets. In vitro studies have shown that H2-CDCF becomes fluorescent upon exposure to reactive oxygen metabolites, including hydrogen peroxide. Using video intensified epifluorescence microscopy, we observed that reactive oxygen metabolites are deposited on tumor cell membranes during neutrophil-mediated antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). This deposition process is catalase sensitive. The role of reactive oxygen metabolites produced by neutrophils in triggering the oxidation of H2-CDCF is further supported by the observation that neutrophils from chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) patients did not affect target fluorescence. YAC tumor cells were also labeled with dihydrorhodamine 123 or dihydrotetramethylrosamine. The oxidized forms of these reagents were found within the cytoplasm of YAC cells. During ADCC normal neutrophils, but not neutrophils obtained from CGD patients, triggered the oxidation of dihydrorhodamine 123 and dihydrotetramethylrosamine within tumor cells. Using two-color automated epifluorescence microscopy, we could not detect temporal intermediates with fluorescence in only one compartment, i.e., either solely on the plasma membrane or in the cytoplasm. These observations suggest that reactive oxygen metabolites cross target membranes (< 12 sec. These studies show that reactive oxygen metabolites are deposited both onto and into tumor cells during ADCC, wherein both compartments could become vulnerable to oxidant-mediated damage.

Abstract
Optical microscopic techniques have been utilized to study the deposition of lactoferrin, a specific granule marker, and superoxide anions into target erythrocytes during antibody-dependent phagocytosis. Previous studies from this laboratory have shown that the entry of superoxide anions into erythrocytes can be sensitively monitored with Soret band transmitted light microscopy. When neutrophils were incubated with BAPTA/AM, an intracellular Ca2+ chelator, they phagocytosed IgG-opsonized sheep red blood cells (SRBC) but did not affect the microscopically detected absorption of their Soret band. When these same erythrocytes were observed after the infusion of 20 microM ionomycin, a Ca2+ ionophore, 58% of the cell-bound SRBC targets were destroyed immediately. However, neutrophils from chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) patients were unable to affect the Soret absorption of erythrocyte targets under any conditions. These results suggest that a Ca2+ signal can participate in triggering superoxide deposition in targets. Since Ca2+ signals are known to participate in the exocytic release of granules, we tested the hypothesis that specific lactoferrin-bearing granules are delivered to targets in parallel with superoxide anions. Lactoferrin delivery to phagosomes was monitored using resonance energy transfer (r.e.t.) microscopy. SRBCs were opsonized with both unconjugated and rhodamine B isothiocyanate (RBITC)-conjugated rabbit anti-SRBC IgG. After incubation with adherent neutrophils, the samples were washed, fixed with 3.7% paraformaldehyde, then labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated antilactoferrin IgG. Energy transfer between FITC and RBITC was imaged microscopically and quantitated by photon counting. Significant levels of r.e.t. between antilactoferrin and anti-SRBC labels were observed after phagocytosis, but not in the absence of acceptor fluorochromes. To control for r.e.t. specificity, neutrophil membranes were labeled with FITC-conjugated, anti-HLA IgG after internalization of rhodamine B-tagged SRBCs (RSRBCs). Although r.e.t. between lactoferrin and RSRBCs labels was observed, no r.e.t. between HLA and RSRBC labels could be found. Further studies showed that treatment of neutrophils with BAPTA inhibited r.e.t. between anti-lactoferrin and RSRBCs. However, addition of ionomycin relieved this inhibition of energy transfer. These experiments show that both lactoferrin and superoxide delivery to targets are regulated in parallel by a Ca(2+)-dependent pathway. Furthermore, by combining Soret microscopy with r.e.t. microscopy, we have shown that superoxide anions and lactoferrin are delivered to the same phagosomes. We speculate that the NADPH oxidase, which produces superoxide anions, is assembled on specific granule membranes, thus accounting for their parallel Ca(2+)-dependence, activation, and delivery.

Abstract
Fluorescence intensified/enhanced microscopy has been used to study the metabolic activation of living human neutrophils in time-lapse sequences. The autofluorescence associated with NAD(P)H's emission band was studied within individual quiescent and stimulated cells. Excitation of NAD(P)H-associated autofluorescence was provided by a high-intensity Hg-vapor lamp. The background-subtracted autofluorescence signals were computer enhanced. In some cases the ratio image of NAD(P)H-associated autofluorescence to tetramethyl-rhodamine methyl ester (TRME) fluorescence, which was found to be uniformly distributed within neutrophils, was calculated to normalize autofluorescence intensities for cell thickness. Activation of the NADPH oxidase by phorbol myristate acetate, F-, N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP), or tumor necrosis factor (TNF) dramatically reduced autofluorescence levels. Membrane solubilization with sodium dodecyl sulfate eliminated autofluorescence. Thus, control experiments indicated that most or all of the detectable NAD(P)H-associated autofluorescence was due to NAD(P)H, consistent with previous non-microscopic studies. To understand the metabolic events surrounding the internalization and oxidative destruction of targets, we have imaged the NAD(P)H-associated autofluorescence of neutrophils and the Soret band of antibody coated target erythrocytes during cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Absorption contrast microscopy of the erythrocyte's Soret band is an especially sensitive indicator of the entry of reactive oxygen metabolites into this target's cytosol. Thus, it is possible to spectroscopically dissect and image the substrate (NADPH) and product (O2-) reactions of the NADPH oxidase in living unlabeled neutrophils. During real-time experiments at 37 degrees C, the level of NAD(P)H-associated autofluorescence surrounding phagosomes greatly increases before the disappearance of the target's Soret band. NAD(P)H-associated autofluorescence in the vicinity of phagocytosed erythrocytes is greatly diminished after target oxidation. This suggests that NAD(P)H is translocated to the vicinity of phagosomes prior to the oxidation of targets. The apparent cytosolic redistribution of NAD(P)H was confirmed by ratio imaging microscopy to control for cell thickness. We suggest that NADPH including its sources and/or carriers accumulate near phagosomes prior to target oxidation and that local NADPH molecules are consumed during target oxidation.

Abstract
Transmitted Soret band optical microscopy has been used to image the entry and passage of reactive oxygen metabolites across target erythrocytes. Due to the rapid cytosolic diffusion of hemoglobin in comparison to video rates, it was necessary to use erythrocytes with relatively immobilized hemoglobin. To achieve this, erythrocytes from patients with sickle cell anemia were used. The movement of reactive oxygen metabolites across rabbit IgG-opsonized sickle cells was observed in real time. These observations indicate that reactive oxygen metabolites can enter and cross targets in an asymmetric fashion.
