Proteomic analysis of cardiovascular disease-associated proteins in Korean patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. World Allergy Organ J 2024; 17:100949. [PMID: 39220465 PMCID: PMC11363482 DOI: 10.1016/j.waojou.2024.100949] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 06/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/25/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have been associated with atopic dermatitis (AD), including in Korean patients. Previous studies on AD have primarily focused on patients of European ancestry, while the Asian endotype exhibits distinct characteristics. This study aimed to characterize the blood proteomic signature of Korean patients with moderate-to-severe AD, with an emphasis on proteins related to CVDs. Methods A total of 78 participants, including 39 patients with moderate-to-severe AD and 39 age- and sex-matched healthy controls, were enrolled. Blood proteomics analysis was performed using the Olink CVD II panel, which measures the expression levels of 92 proteins associated with CVDs. Results Unsupervised hierarchical clustering revealed 44 upregulated and 5 downregulated proteins in AD patients compared to healthy controls. Principal component analysis (PCA) effectively distinguished AD patients from healthy subjects based on the complete set of proteins or the subset of upregulated proteins. A multiple linear regression model comprising CCL17 and FGF21 showed a strong correlation with disease severity (R = 0.619). Correlation analysis identified 25 highly correlated proteins, including STK4, ITGB1BP2, and DECR1, which were newly found to be upregulated in Korean AD patients. Pathway analysis highlighted the involvement of these proteins in vascular system, inflammation, and lipid metabolism pathways. Conclusion The blood proteomic profile of moderate-to-severe AD patients in Korea differed from healthy controls using the CVD II panel. This study provides potential biomarkers for the AD-CVD association and insights into the pathways contributing to this relationship in the Korean population.

İçen Taşkın I, Gürbüz S, Koç A, Kocabay S, Yolbaş S, Keser MF. The roles of SFKs in the regulation of proinflammatory cytokines and NLRP3 in familial mediterranean fever patients. Cytokine 2024; 179:156615. [PMID: 38640560 DOI: 10.1016/j.cyto.2024.156615] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024]
Abstract
Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is caused by mutations in pyrin, a protein produced in innate immune cells that regulates the development of interleukin (IL)-1β by interacting with caspase-1 and other components of inflammasomes. Although overexpression of proinflammatory cytokines have been observed in FMF patients, no studies have been conducted on the role of Src family kinases (SFKs). The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of SFKs on the modulation of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, and NLRP3 inflammasome in patients with FMF. The study included 20 FMF patients and 20 controls. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated by density gradient centrifugation. Protein expression levels of SFKs members were measured by western blot. The effect of lipopolysaccharide-induced (LPS) activation and PP2- induced inhibition of SFKs on NLRP3 and IL-1β, IL 6, IL-8, TNF-α were examined by western blot and flow cytometry respectively. Patients with FMF have considerably greater levels of Lck expression. In addition, patients had a substantially greater basal level of NLRP3 than the control group (*p = 0.016). Most importantly, the levels of IL-1 β were elevated with LPS stimulation and reduced with PP2 inhibition in FMF patients. These results suggest that SFKs are effective in regulation of IL-1 β in FMF patients.

Abstract
Cancer progression and metastasis are processes heavily controlled by the integrin receptor family. Integrins are cell adhesion molecules that constitute the central components of mechanosensing complexes called focal adhesions, which connect the extracellular environment with the cell interior. Focal adhesions act as key players in cancer progression by regulating biological processes, such as cell migration, invasion, proliferation, and survival. Src family kinases (SFKs) can interplay with integrins and their downstream effectors. SFKs also integrate extracellular cues sensed by integrins and growth factor receptors (GFR), transducing them to coordinate metastasis and cell survival in cancer. The non-receptor tyrosine kinase CSK is a well-known SFK member that suppresses SFK activity by phosphorylating its specific negative regulatory loop (C-terminal Y527 residue). Consequently, CSK may play a pivotal role in tumour progression and suppression by inhibiting SFK oncogenic effects in several cancer types. Remarkably, CSK can localise near focal adhesions when SFKs are activated and even interact with focal adhesion components, such as phosphorylated FAK and Paxillin, among others, suggesting that CSK may regulate focal adhesion dynamics and structure. Even though SFK oncogenic signalling has been extensively described before, the specific role of CSK and its crosstalk with integrins in cancer progression, for example, in mechanosensing, remain veiled. Here, we review how CSK, by regulating SFKs, can regulate integrin signalling, and focus on recent discoveries of mechanotransduction. We additionally examine the cross talk of integrins and GFR as well as the membrane availability of these receptors in cancer. We also explore new pharmaceutical approaches to these signalling pathways and analyse them as future therapeutic targets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Advances in cancer therapeutics have improved overall survival and prognosis in this patient population; however, this has come at the expense of cardiotoxicity including arrhythmia. SUMMARY Cancer and its therapies are associated with cardiotoxicity via several mechanisms including inflammation, cardiomyopathy, and off-target effects. Among cancer therapies, anthracyclines and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are particularly known for their pro-arrhythmia effects. In addition to cardiomyopathy, anthracyclines may be pro-arrhythmogenic via reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and altered calcium handling. TKIs may mediate their cardiotoxicity via inhibition of off-target tyrosine kinases. Ibrutinib-mediated inhibition of CSK may be responsible for the increased prevalence of atrial fibrillation. Further investigation is warranted to further elucidate the mechanisms behind arrhythmias in cancer therapies. KEY MESSAGES Arrhythmias are a common cardiotoxicity of cancer therapies. Cancer therapies may induce arrhythmias via off-target effects. Understanding the mechanisms underlying arrhythmogenesis associated with cancer therapies may help design cancer therapies that can avoid these toxicities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exploring the mechanisms of valvular heart disease at the cellular level may be useful to identify new therapeutic targets; however, the comprehensive cellular landscape of nondiseased human cardiac valve leaflets remains unclear. METHODS The cellular landscapes of nondiseased human cardiac valve leaflets (5 aortic valves, 5 pulmonary valves, 5 tricuspid valves, and 3 mitral valves) from end-stage heart failure patients undergoing heart transplantation were explored using single-cell RNA sequencing. Bioinformatics was used to identify the cell types, describe the cell functions, and investigate cellular developmental trajectories and interactions. Differences among the 4 types of cardiac valves at the cellular level were summarized. Pathological staining was performed to validate the key findings of single-cell RNA sequencing. An integrative analysis of our single-cell data and published genome-wide association study-based and bulk RNA sequencing-based data provided insights into the cell-specific contributions to calcific aortic valve diseases. RESULTS Six cell types were identified among 128 412 cells from nondiseased human cardiac valve leaflets. Valvular interstitial cells were the largest population, followed by myeloid cells, lymphocytes, valvular endothelial cells, mast cells, and myofibroblasts. The 4 types of cardiac valve had distinct cellular compositions. The intercellular communication analysis revealed that valvular interstitial cells were at the center of the communication network. The integrative analysis of our single-cell RNA sequencing data revealed key cellular subpopulations involved in the pathogenesis of calcific aortic valve diseases. CONCLUSIONS The cellular landscape differed among the 4 types of nondiseased cardiac valve, which might explain their differences in susceptibility to pathological remodeling and valvular heart disease.

Abstract
Nervous tissue homeostasis requires the regulation of microglia activity. Using conditional gene targeting in mice, we demonstrate that genetic ablation of the small GTPase Rhoa in adult microglia is sufficient to trigger spontaneous microglia activation, producing a neurological phenotype (including synapse and neuron loss, impairment of long-term potentiation [LTP], formation of β-amyloid plaques, and memory deficits). Mechanistically, loss of Rhoa in microglia triggers Src activation and Src-mediated tumor necrosis factor (TNF) production, leading to excitotoxic glutamate secretion. Inhibiting Src in microglia Rhoa-deficient mice attenuates microglia dysregulation and the ensuing neurological phenotype. We also find that the Rhoa/Src signaling pathway is disrupted in microglia of the APP/PS1 mouse model of Alzheimer disease and that low doses of Aβ oligomers trigger microglia neurotoxic polarization through the disruption of Rhoa-to-Src signaling. Overall, our results indicate that disturbing Rho GTPase signaling in microglia can directly cause neurodegeneration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ibrutinib is a Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor with remarkable efficacy against B-cell cancers. Ibrutinib also increases the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), which remains poorly understood. METHODS We performed electrophysiology studies on mice treated with ibrutinib to assess inducibility of AF. Chemoproteomic analysis of cardiac lysates identified candidate ibrutinib targets, which were further evaluated in genetic mouse models and additional pharmacological experiments. The pharmacovigilance database, VigiBase, was queried to determine whether drug inhibition of an identified candidate kinase was associated with increased reporting of AF. RESULTS We demonstrate that treatment of mice with ibrutinib for 4 weeks results in inducible AF, left atrial enlargement, myocardial fibrosis, and inflammation. This effect was reproduced in mice lacking Bruton tyrosine kinase, but not in mice treated with 4 weeks of acalabrutinib, a more specific Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor, demonstrating that AF is an off-target side effect. Chemoproteomic profiling identified a short list of candidate kinases that was narrowed by additional experimentation leaving CSK (C-terminal Src kinase) as the strongest candidate for ibrutinib-induced AF. Cardiac-specific Csk knockout in mice led to increased AF, left atrial enlargement, fibrosis, and inflammation, phenocopying ibrutinib treatment. Disproportionality analyses in VigiBase confirmed increased reporting of AF associated with kinase inhibitors blocking Csk versus non-Csk inhibitors, with a reporting odds ratio of 8.0 (95% CI, 7.3-8.7; P<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS These data identify Csk inhibition as the mechanism through which ibrutinib leads to AF. Registration: URL: https://ww.clinicaltrials.gov; Unique identifier: NCT03530215.

Abstract
Full T cell activation depends on stimulation of the TCR in conjunction with a costimulatory receptor. The involvement of costimulatory molecules is potent, and a mechanistic understanding of how downstream signaling is regulated is required to fully understand T cell responsiveness. In this study, a proteomic approach was taken to identify the interactomes of the coreceptors CD2 and CD28. These coreceptors are both positive regulators of T cell activation, but CD28 less potently induces TCR-proximal signaling. C-terminal Src kinase (CSK), a negative regulator of TCR signaling, was identified as a specific and direct interactor only of activated CD28. CSK is recruited to CD28 upon T cell activation, and the in vitro kinase activity of CSK is enhanced in the presence of phosphorylated CD28. Interruption of the CSK/CD28 interaction prior to TCR/CD28 costimulation induces a signaling response which mimics the more potent CD2-induced TCR-proximal pathway activation. Thus, CD28 functions as a novel adaptor protein for CSK, and CSK regulates signaling downstream of CD28.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Behcet's Disease (BD) is a multisystemic inflammatory disorder affecting large vessels, lungs joints, gastrointestinal and neurological systems. The pathogenesis of BD remains poorly understood. Identifying the key signaling pathway is crucial for a complete understanding of the pathogenesis of BD. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine mRNA expression level of Src family kinases (SFKs) members and their involvement in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) regulation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of active BD patients. METHODS Twenty- five active BD patients and twenty-five healthy controls were included in the study. PBMCs were isolated from total blood by density gradient centrifugation. The mRNA expression levels of SFKs members were measured by real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). The effect of SFKs activity on LPS-induced activation MAPKs (Erk1/2, p38 and JNK) was examined by Western blot. RESULTS The mRNA expression levels of Hck, Src, Lyn, Yes and Fyn were found to be slightly decreased in active BD patients compared to the control subjects, but a slight change in mRNA level of SFKs members did not impact on protein levels and protein activity. LPS-induced Erk1/2 phosphorylation was significantly increased in the absence of SFKs activity in active BD patients. However, inhibition of SFKs activity had no effect on LPS-induced phosphorylation of p38 and JNK in both controls and active BD patients. CONCLUSION SFKs downregulate LPS-induced Erk1/2 phosphorylation in PBMCs of active BD patients.

Positive and Negative Regulatory Roles of C-Terminal Src Kinase (CSK) in FcεRI-Mediated Mast Cell Activation, Independent of the Transmembrane Adaptor PAG/CSK-Binding Protein.

Abstract
C-terminal Src kinase (CSK) is a major negative regulator of Src family tyrosine kinases (SFKs) that play critical roles in immunoreceptor signaling. CSK is brought in contiguity to the plasma membrane-bound SFKs via binding to transmembrane adaptor PAG, also known as CSK-binding protein. The recent finding that PAG can function as a positive regulator of the high-affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI)-mediated mast cell signaling suggested that PAG and CSK have some non-overlapping regulatory functions in mast cell activation. To determine the regulatory roles of CSK in FcεRI signaling, we derived bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) with reduced or enhanced expression of CSK from wild-type (WT) or PAG knockout (KO) mice and analyzed their FcεRI-mediated activation events. We found that in contrast to PAG-KO cells, antigen-activated BMMCs with CSK knockdown (KD) exhibited significantly higher degranulation, calcium response, and tyrosine phosphorylation of FcεRI, SYK, and phospholipase C. Interestingly, FcεRI-mediated events in BMMCs with PAG-KO were restored upon CSK silencing. BMMCs with CSK-KD/PAG-KO resembled BMMCs with CSK-KD alone. Unexpectedly, cells with CSK-KD showed reduced kinase activity of LYN and decreased phosphorylation of transcription factor STAT5. This was accompanied by impaired production of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines in antigen-activated cells. In line with this, BMMCs with CSK-KD exhibited enhanced phosphorylation of protein phosphatase SHP-1, which provides a negative feedback loop for regulating phosphorylation of STAT5 and LYN kinase activity. Furthermore, we found that in WT BMMCs SHP-1 forms complexes containing LYN, CSK, and STAT5. Altogether, our data demonstrate that in FcεRI-activated mast cells CSK is a negative regulator of degranulation and chemotaxis, but a positive regulator of adhesion to fibronectin and production of proinflammatory cytokines. Some of these pathways are not dependent on the presence of PAG.

Abstract
C-terminal Src kinase (Csk) is one of the critical negative regulators of the Src family of kinases. The Src family of kinases are nonreceptor tyrosine kinases that regulate inflammation, cell proliferation, motility, and adhesion. To investigate potential histologic lesions associated with systemic loss of Csk gene activity in adult mice, conditional Csk-knockout mice were examined. Cre-mediated systemic excision of Csk induced by tamoxifen treatment resulted in multiorgan inflammation. Specifically, induction of Csk gene excision with three days of tamoxifen treatment resulted in greater than 90% gene excision. Strikingly, these mice developed enteritis that ranged from minimal and suppurative to severe, fibrinonecrosuppurative and hemorrhagic. Other inflammatory lesions included suppurative pneumonia, gastritis, and myocarditis, and increased numbers of inflammatory cells within the hepatic parenchyma. When tamoxifen treatment was reduced from three days to one day in an effort to lower the level of Csk gene excision and limit lesion development, the mice developed severe suppurative to pyogranulomatous pneumonia and minimal to mild suppurative enteritis. Lesions observed secondary to Csk gene excision suggest important roles for Csk in downregulating the proinflammatory activity of the Src family of kinases and limiting neutrophil-mediated inflammation.

Abstract
Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) play a critical role in host defense against infection and in the resolution of inflammation. However, immune responses mediated by PMN must be tightly regulated to facilitate elimination of invading pathogens without inducing detrimental inflammation and host tissue damage. Specific engagement of cell surface immunoreceptors by a diverse range of extracellular signals regulates PMN effector functions through differential activation of intracellular signaling cascades. Although mechanisms of PMN activation mediated via cell signaling pathways have been well described, less is known about negative regulation of PMN function by immune signaling cascades. Here, we provide an overview of immunoreceptor-mediated negative regulation of key PMN effector functions including maturation, migration, phagocytosis, reactive oxygen species release, degranulation, apoptosis, and NET formation. Increased understanding of mechanisms of suppression of PMN effector functions may point to possible future therapeutic targets for the amelioration of PMN-mediated autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Tissue injury, pathogen infection, and diseases are often accompanied by inflammation to release mediators that sensitize nociceptors and further recruit immune cells, which can lead to chronic hyperalgesia and inflammation. Tissue acidosis, occurring at the inflammatory site, is a major factor contributing to pain and hyperalgesia. The receptor G2 accumulation (G2A), expressed in neurons and immune cells, responds to protons or oxidized free fatty acids such as 9-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid produced by injured cells or oxidative stresses. We previously found increased G2A expression in mouse dorsal root ganglia (DRG) at 90 min after complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced inflammatory pain, but whether G2A is involved in the inflammation or hyperalgesia remained unclear. In this study, we overexpressed or knocked-down G2A gene expression in DRG to explore the roles of G2A. G2A overexpression reduced the infiltration of acute immune cells (granulocytes) and attenuated hyperalgesia at 90 to 240 min after CFA injection. G2A knockdown increased the number of immune cells before CFA injection and prolonged the inflammatory hyperalgesia after CFA injection. G2A may serve as a threshold regulator in neurons to attenuate the initial nociceptive and inflammatory signals, modulating the chronic state of hyperalgesia.

Abstract
Exposure to crystalline silica results in serious adverse health effects, most notably, silicosis. An understanding of the mechanism(s) underlying silica-induced pulmonary toxicity is critical for the intervention and/or prevention of its adverse health effects. Rats were exposed by inhalation to crystalline silica at a concentration of 15 mg/m3, 6 hr/day, 5 days/week for 3, 6 or 12 weeks. Pulmonary toxicity and global gene expression profiles were determined in lungs at the end of each exposure period. Crystalline silica was visible in lungs of rats especially in the 12-week group. Pulmonary toxicity, as evidenced by an increase in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and albumin content and accumulation of macrophages and neutrophils in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), was seen in animals depending upon silica exposure duration. The most severe histological changes, noted in the 12-week exposure group, consisted of chronic active inflammation, type II pneumocyte hyperplasia, and fibrosis. Microarray analysis of lung gene expression profiles detected significant differential expression of 38, 77, and 99 genes in rats exposed to silica for 3-, 6-, or 12-weeks, respectively, compared to time-matched controls. Among the significantly differentially expressed genes (SDEG), 32 genes were common in all exposure groups. Bioinformatics analysis of the SDEG identified enrichment of functions, networks and canonical pathways related to inflammation, cancer, oxidative stress, fibrosis, and tissue remodeling in response to silica exposure. Collectively, these results provided insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying pulmonary toxicity following sub-chronic inhalation exposure to crystalline silica in rats.

Abstract
UNLABELLED ESSENTIALS: Thrombosis is a major comorbidity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Roflumilast is a selective phosphodiesterase type-4 (PDE4) inhibitor approved for treatment of severe COPD. PDE4 blockade by roflumilast inhibits prothrombotic functions of neutrophils and monocytes. PDE4 inhibitors may reduce thrombotic risk in COPD as well as in other vascular diseases. BACKGROUND Roflumilast, an oral selective phosphodiesterase type 4 inhibitor, is approved for the treatment of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A recent meta-analysis of trials on COPD revealed that treatment with roflumilast was associated with a significant reduction in the rate of major cardiovascular events. The mechanisms of this effect remain unknown. OBJECTIVES We tested the hypothesis that roflumilast N-oxide (RNO), the active metabolite of roflumilast, curbs the molecular mechanisms required for leukocyte-platelet (PLT) interactions and prevents the prothrombotic functions of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and monocytes (MNs). METHODS Using well-characterized in vitro models, we analysed the effects of RNO on: (i) PMN adhesiveness; (ii) the release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs); and (iii) tissue factor expression in MNs. Key biochemical events underlying the inhibitory effects of RNO were defined. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS In PMNs, RNO prevented phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-dependent phosphorylation of Akt on Ser473, and Src family kinase (SFK)-mediated Pyk2 phosphorylation on Tyr579-580, while inducing protein kinase A-mediated phosphorylation of C-terminal Src kinase, the major negative regulator of SFKs. Modulation of these signaling pathways by RNO resulted in a significant impairment of PMN adhesion to activated PLTs or human umbilical vein endothelial cells, mainly mediated by inhibition of the adhesive function of Mac-1. Moreover RNO curbed SFK/PI3K-mediated NET release by PMNs adherent on fibrinogen-coated surfaces. In MNs interacting with activated PLTs, RNO curbed PI3K-mediated expression of tissue factor. The efficacy of RNO was significantly potentiated by formoterol, a long acting β-adrenergic receptor agonist. This study reveals novel antithrombotic activities by which roflumilast may exert protective effects against cardiovascular comorbodities in COPD.

Abstract
A2A adenosine receptor (A2AAR) signaling negatively regulates inflammatory responses in many disease models, but the detailed mechanisms remain unclear. We used the selective A2AAR agonist, ATL313, to examine how A2AAR signaling affects human and murine neutrophil adhesion under flow. Treating neutrophils with ATL313 inhibited selectin-induced, β2 integrin-dependent slow rolling and chemokine-induced, β2 integrin-dependent arrest on ICAM-1. ATL313 inhibited selectin-induced β2 integrin extension, which supports slow rolling, and chemokine-induced hybrid domain "swing-out," which supports arrest. Furthermore, ATL313 inhibited integrin outside-in signaling as revealed by reduced neutrophil superoxide production and spreading on immobilized anti-β2 integrin Ab. ATL313 suppressed selectin-triggered activation of Src family kinases (SFKs) and p38 MAPK, chemokine-triggered activation of Ras-related protein 1, and β2 integrin-triggered activation of SFKs and Vav cytoskeletal regulatory proteins. ATL313 activated protein kinase A and its substrate C-terminal Src kinase, an inhibitor of SFKs. Treating neutrophils with a protein kinase A inhibitor blocked the actions of ATL313. In vivo, ATL313-treated neutrophils rolled faster and arrested much less frequently in postcapillary venules of the murine cremaster muscle after TNF-α challenge. Furthermore, ATL313 markedly suppressed neutrophil migration into the peritoneum challenged with thioglycollate. ATL313 did not affect A2AAR-deficient neutrophils, confirming its specificity. Our findings provide new insights into the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of A2AAR signaling and the potential utility of A2AAR agonists in inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Myeloid leukocyte recruitment into the lung in response to environmental cues represents a key factor for the induction of lung damage. We report that Hck- and Fgr-deficient mice show a profound impairment in early recruitment of neutrophils and monocytes in response to bacterial LPS. The reduction in interstitial and airway neutrophil recruitment was not due to a cell-intrinsic migratory defect, because Hck- and Fgr-deficient neutrophils were attracted to the airways by the chemokine CXCL2 as wild type cells. However, early accumulation of chemokines and TNF-α in the airways was reduced in hck(-/-)fgr(-/-) mice. Considering that chemokine and TNF-α release into the airways was neutrophil independent, as suggested by a comparison between control and neutrophil-depleted mice, we examined LPS-induced chemokine secretion by neutrophils and macrophages in wild type and mutant cells. Notably, mutant neutrophils displayed a marked deficit in their capability to release the chemokines CXCL1, CXCL2, CCL3, and CCL4 and TNF-α in response to LPS. However, intracellular accumulation of these chemokines and TNF-α, as well as secretion of a wide array of cytokines, including IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10, by hck(-/-)fgr(-/-) neutrophils was normal. Intriguingly, secretion of CXCL1, CXCL2, CCL2, CCL3, CCL4, RANTES, and TNF-α, but not IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, and GM-CSF, was also markedly reduced in bone marrow-derived macrophages. Consistently, the Src kinase inhibitors PP2 and dasatinib reduced chemokine secretion by neutrophils and bone marrow-derived macrophages. These findings identify Src kinases as a critical regulator of chemokine secretion in myeloid leukocytes during lung inflammation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Platelet-neutrophil interactions play a key role in cardiovascular disease and inflammatory processes. Src family kinases mediate P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1-Mac-1 cross talk necessary for firm platelet-neutrophil adhesion. Because Src family kinase activity can be regulated by cAMP-dependent pathways, in this work, we evaluated the role of phosphodiesterases in the signaling events that are required to sustain platelet-neutrophil interactions and neutrophil recruitment at the site of vascular injury. APPROACH AND RESULTS In neutrophils exposed to P-selectin, selective phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibition prevented Src family kinase-mediated phosphorylation of the proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 on Tyr579/Tyr580. The effects of PDE4 inhibition required protein kinase A, likely through protein kinase A-mediated activation of COOH-terminal Src kinase, a major negative regulator of Src family kinases. PDE4, but not other phosphodiesterase inhibitors, reduced platelet-neutrophil conjugates as well as neutrophil firm adhesion on spread platelets under flow conditions. The effect of PDE4 inhibition on neutrophil adhesion was primarily mediated by downregulation of P-selectin-induced activation of Mac-1. In a murine model of endovascular injury, selective inhibition of PDE4 significantly reduced neutrophil recruitment at the site of vascular damage. CONCLUSIONS This study identifies PDE4 as a central node in the signaling network that mediates platelet-neutrophil adhesion and suggests that pharmacological inhibition of PDE4 may represent a novel therapeutic avenue for the treatment of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
There has been a resurgence of interest in the neutrophil's role in autoimmune disease. Classically considered an early responder that dies at the site of inflammation, new findings using live imaging of embryonic zebrafish and other modalities suggest that neutrophils can reverse migrate away from sites of inflammation. These 'inflammation-sensitized' neutrophils, as well as the neutrophil extracellular traps and other products made by neutrophils in general, may have many implications for autoimmunity. Here, we review what is known about the role of neutrophils in three different autoimmune diseases: rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and small vessel vasculitis. We then highlight recent findings related to several cytoskeletal regulators that guide neutrophil recruitment including Lyn, Rac2, and SHIP. Finally, we discuss how our improved understanding of the molecules that control neutrophil chemotaxis may impact our knowledge of autoimmunity.

Abstract
CXCL12 governs cellular motility, a process deregulated by hematopoietic stem cell oncogenes such as p210-BCR-ABL. A phosphoproteomics approach to the analysis of a hematopoietic progenitor cell line treated with CXCL12 and the Rac 1 and 2 inhibitor NSC23766 has been employed to objectively discover novel mechanisms for regulation of stem cells in normal and malignant hematopoiesis. The proteomic data sets identified new aspects of CXCL12-mediated signaling and novel features of stem cell regulation. We also identified a novel phosphorylation event in hematopoietic progenitor cells that correlated with motile response and governed by the chemotactic factor CXCL12. The novel phosphorylation site on PTPRC/CD45; a protein tyrosine phosphatase, was validated by raising an antibody to the site and also using a mass spectrometry absolute quantification strategy. Site directed mutagenesis and inhibitor studies demonstrated that this single phosphorylation site governs hematopoietic progenitor cell and lymphoid cell motility, lies downstream from Rac proteins and potentiates Src signaling. We have also demonstrated that PTPRC/CD45 is down-regulated in leukemogenic tyrosine kinase expressing cells. The use of discovery proteomics has enabled further understanding of the regulation of PTPRC/CD45 and its important role in cellular motility in progenitor cells.

Abstract
The non-receptor tyrosine kinase Csk serves as an indispensable negative regulator of the Src family tyrosine kinases (SFKs) by specifically phosphorylating the negative regulatory site of SFKs, thereby suppressing their oncogenic potential. Csk is primarily regulated through its SH2 domain, which is required for membrane translocation of Csk via binding to scaffold proteins such as Cbp/PAG1. The binding of scaffolds to the SH2 domain can also upregulate Csk kinase activity. These regulatory features have been elucidated by analyses of Csk structure at the atomic levels. Although Csk itself may not be mutated in human cancers, perturbation of the regulatory system consisting of Csk, Cbp/PAG1, or other scaffolds, and certain tyrosine phosphatases may explain the upregulation of SFKs frequently observed in human cancers. This review focuses on the molecular bases for the function, structure, and regulation of Csk as a unique regulatory tyrosine kinase for SFKs.

Abstract
Though chronic autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus affect a significant percentage of the human population and strongly diminish the quality of life and life expectancy in Western societies, the molecular pathomechanisms of those diseases are still poorly understood, hindering the development of novel treatment strategies. Autoimmune diseases are thought to be caused by disturbed recognition of foreign and self antigens, leading to the emergence of autoreactive T-cells (so-called immunization phase). Those autoreactive T-cells then trigger the second (so-called effector) phase of the disease which is characterized by immune-mediated damage to host tissues. For a long time, neutrophils have mainly been neglected as potential players of the development of autoimmune diseases. However, a significant amount of new experimental data now indicates that neutrophils likely play an important role in both the immunization and the effector phase of autoimmune diseases. Here we review the current literature on the role of neutrophils in autoimmune diseases with special emphasis on rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, autoimmune vasculitides and blistering skin diseases. We also discuss the role of neutrophil cell surface receptors (e.g. integrins, Fc-receptors or chemokine receptors) and intracellular signal transduction pathways (e.g. Syk and other tyrosine kinases) in the pathogenesis of autoimmune inflammation. Though many of the results discussed in this review were obtained using animal models, additional data indicate that those mechanisms likely also contribute to human pathology. Taken together, neutrophils should be considered as one of the important cell types in autoimmune disease pathogenesis and they may also prove to be suitable targets of the pharmacological control of those diseases in the future.

Abstract
Pneumonia is a severe disease with high morbidity and mortality. A major causative pathogen is the Gram-negative bacterium Klebsiella (K.) pneumoniae. Kinases play an integral role in the transduction of intracellular signaling cascades and regulate a diverse array of biological processes essential to immune cells. The current study explored signal transduction events during murine Gram-negative pneumonia using a systems biology approach. Kinase activity arrays enable the analysis of 1,024 consensus sequences of protein kinase substrates. Using a kinase activity array on whole lung lysates, cellular kinase activities were determined in a mouse model of K. pneumoniae pneumonia. Notable kinase activities also were validated with phospho-specific Western blots. On the basis of the profiling data, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling via p42 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p42) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38) and transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) activity were reduced during infection, whereas v-src sarcoma (Schmidt-Ruppin A-2) viral oncogene homolog (avian) (SRC) activity generally was enhanced. AKT signaling was represented in both metabolic and inflammatory (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 2 [MKK], apoptosis signal-regulating kinase/mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 5 [ASK] and v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 [b-RAF]) context. This study reaffirms the importance of classic inflammation pathways, such as MAPK and TGFβ signaling and reveals less known involvement of glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β), AKT and SRC signaling cassettes in pneumonia.

Abstract
The protein tyrosine kinase C-terminal Src kinase (Csk) is activated by the engagement of its Src homology (SH) 2 domain. However, the molecular mechanism required for this is not completely understood. The crystal structure of the active Csk indicates that Csk could be activated by contact between the SH2 domain and the beta3-alphaC loop in the N-terminal lobe of the kinase domain. To study the importance of this interaction for the SH2-domain-mediated activation of Csk, we mutated the amino acid residues forming the contacts between the SH2 domain and the beta3-alphaC loop. The mutation of the beta3-alphaC loop Ala228 to glycine and of the SH2 domain Tyr116, Tyr133, Leu138, and Leu149 to alanine resulted in the inability of the SH2 domain ligand to activate Csk. Furthermore, the overexpressed Csk mutants A228G, Y133A/Y116A, L138A, and L149A were unable to efficiently inactivate endogenous Src in human embryonic kidney 293 cells. The results suggest that the SH2-domain-mediated activation of Csk is dependent on the binding of the beta3-alphaC loop Ala228 to the hydrophobic pocket formed by the side chains of Tyr116, Tyr133, Leu138, and Leu149 on the surface of the SH2 domain.

Abstract
C-terminal Src kinase (Csk) is a non-receptor type of tyrosine kinase, and serves as an essential negative regulator of Src family tyrosine kinases (SFKs) in vertebrates. However, analyses of Csk and SFKs from primitive animals suggest that the Csk-mediated mechanisms regulating SFK activity might diverge between evolutional branches, different tissues or SFK family members. We examined in vivo roles of CSK-1, a Caenorhabditis elegans orthologue of Csk, by generating animals lacking csk-1 function. Although some csk-1 mutants died during embryogenesis, the majority of mutants died during the first stage of larval development. In csk-1 mutants, the function of pharyngeal muscles, the major site of CSK-1 expression, was severely damaged. The pumping of pharyngeal grinder cells became arrhythmic, causing disabled feeding. Electron microscopy showed that pharyngeal muscle filaments were disorientated in the csk-1 mutants. These indicate that CSK-1 is crucial for proper organization of pharyngeal muscles. However, the growth arrest phenotype in csk-1 mutants could not be suppressed by src-1 and/or src-2 mutation, and SRC-1 was not significantly activated in the csk-1 mutants. These results suggest that CSK-1 has an essential function in organization of pharyngeal muscle filaments that does not require C. elegans SFKs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The cells of the immune system originate from the bone marrow, where many of them also mature. This study was undertaken to examine gene expression in the bone marrow of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), in order to better understand the aberrant immune response in this disease. METHODS Bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs) from 20 SLE patients (11 with active disease and 9 with inactive disease) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 27 patients (16 with active disease and 11 with inactive disease) were studied; BMMCs and PBMCs from 7 healthy individuals and 3 osteoarthritis patients were studied as controls. Samples were analyzed on genome-scale DNA microarrays, with 21,329 genes represented. RESULTS We identified 102 genes involved in various biologic processes that were differentially expressed between patient and control BMMCs; 53 of them are genes that are involved in major networks, including cell death, growth, signaling, and proliferation. Comparative analysis revealed 88 genes that were differentially expressed between bone marrow and blood, the majority of which are involved in cell growth and differentiation, cellular movement and morphology, immune response, and other hematopoietic cell functions. Unsupervised clustering of highly expressed genes revealed 2 major SLE patient clusters (active disease and inactive disease) based on gene expression in bone marrow, but not in peripheral blood. The up-regulated genes in the bone marrow of patients with active disease included genes involved in cell death and granulopoiesis. CONCLUSION Microarray analysis of the bone marrow differentiated active from inactive SLE and provided further evidence of the role of apoptosis and granulocytes in the pathogenesis of the disease.

Abstract
E-selectin binding to P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) can activate the β2 integrin lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 by signaling through spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk). This signaling is independent of Gαi-protein–coupled receptors, results in slow rolling, and promotes neutrophil recruitment to sites of inflammation. However, the signaling pathways linking E-selectin engagement of PSGL-1 to Syk activation are unknown. To test the role of Src family kinases and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activating motif (ITAM)–containing adaptor proteins, we used different gene-deficient mice in flow chamber, intravital microscopy, and peritonitis studies. E-selectin–mediated phosphorylation of Syk and slow rolling was abolished in neutrophils from fgr−/− or hck−/− lyn−/− fgr−/− mice. Neutrophils from Tyrobp−/− Fcrg−/− mice lacking both DAP12 and FcRγ were incapable of sustaining slow neutrophil rolling on E-selectin and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and were unable to phosphorylate Syk and p38 MAPK. This defect was confirmed in vivo by using mixed chimeric mice. Gαi-independent neutrophil recruitment into the inflamed peritoneal cavity was sharply suppressed in Tyrobp−/− Fcrg−/− mice. Our data demonstrate that an ITAM-dependent pathway involving the Src-family kinase Fgr and the ITAM-containing adaptor proteins DAP12 and FcRγ is involved in the initial signaling events downstream of PSGL-1 that are required to initiate neutrophil slow rolling.

Abstract
The CD45 phosphatase is uniquely expressed by all leukocytes, but its role in regulating hematopoietic progenitors is poorly understood. We show that enhanced CD45 expression on bone marrow (BM) leukocytes correlates with increased cell motility in response to stress signals. Moreover, immature CD45 knockout (KO) cells showed defective motility, including reduced homing (both steady state and in response to stromal-derived factor 1) and reduced granulocyte colony-stimulating factor mobilization. These defects were associated with increased cell adhesion mediated by reduced matrix metalloproteinase 9 secretion and imbalanced Src kinase activity. Poor mobilization of CD45KO progenitors by the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB ligand, and impaired modulation of the endosteal components osteopontin and stem cell factor, suggested defective osteoclast function. Indeed, CD45KO osteoclasts exhibited impaired bone remodeling and abnormal morphology, which we attributed to defective cell fusion and Src function. This led to irregular distribution of metaphyseal bone trabecules, a region enriched with stem cell niches. Consequently, CD45KO mice had less primitive cells in the BM and increased numbers of these cells in the spleen, yet with reduced homing and repopulation potential. Uncoupling environmental and intrinsic defects in chimeric mice, we demonstrated that CD45 regulates progenitor movement and retention by influencing both the hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic compartments.

Abstract
Macrophages are key components of the innate immune response. These cells possess a diverse repertoire of receptors that allow them to respond to a host of external stimuli including cytokines, chemokines, and pathogen-associated molecules. Signals resulting from these stimuli activate a number of macrophage functional responses such as adhesion, migration, phagocytosis, proliferation, survival, cytokine release and production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. The cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase Src and its family members (SFKs) have been implicated in many intracellular signaling pathways in macrophages, initiated by a diverse set of receptors ranging from integrins to Toll-like receptors. However, it has been difficult to implicate any given member of the family in any specific pathway. SFKs appear to have overlapping and complementary functions in many pathways. Perhaps the function of these enzymes is to modulate the overall intracellular signaling network in macrophages, rather than operating as exclusive signaling switches for defined pathways. In general, SFKs may function more like rheostats, influencing the amplitude of many pathways.

Abstract
Src family kinases (SFKs) have been implicated in the regulation of cell motility. To verify their in vivo roles during development, we generated mutant mice in which Csk, a negative regulator of SFKs, was inactivated in neural crest lineages using the Protein zero promoter in a Cre-loxP system. Inactivation of Csk caused deformities in various tissues of neural crest origins, including facial dysplasia and corneal opacity. In the cornea, the stromal collagen fibril was disorganized and there was an overproduction of collagen 1a1 and several metalloproteases. The corneal endothelium failed to overlie the central region of the eye and the peripheral endothelium displayed a disorganized cytoskeleton. Corneal mesenchymal cells cultured from mutant mice showed attenuated cell motility. In these cells, p130 Crk-associated substrate (Cas) was hyperphosphorylated and markedly downregulated. The expression of a dominant negative Cas (Cas Delta SD) could suppress the cell motility defects. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer analysis revealed that activation of Rac1 and Cdc42 was depolarized in Csk-inactivated cells, which was restored by the expression of either Csk or Cas Delta SD. These results demonstrate that the SFKs/Csk circuit plays crucial roles in corneal development by controlling stromal organization and by ensuring cell motility via the Cas-Rac/Cdc42 pathways.

Abstract
The propagation of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a complex process that requires both host and viral proteins. To facilitate identification of host cell factors that are required for HCV replication, we screened a panel of small interference RNAs that preferentially target human protein kinases using an HCV replicon expressing the firefly luciferase gene as a genetic reporter. Small interference RNAs specific for three human kinases, Csk, Jak1, and Vrk1, were identified that reproducibly reduce viral RNA and viral protein levels in HCV replicon-bearing cells. Treatment of replicon cells with a small molecule inhibitor of Csk also resulted in a significant reduction in HCV RNA and proteins, further supporting a role for Csk in HCV replication. The effects of siRNAs targeting eight kinases known to be negatively regulated by Csk were then examined; knock down of one of these kinases, Fyn, resulted in up-regulation of the HCV replicon, suggesting that Csk mediates its effect on HCV replication through Fyn. This conclusion was further corroborated by demonstration that replicon cells treated with Csk inhibitor contained lower levels of the phosphorylated form of Fyn than control cells.

Abstract
A common signaling pathway is known to operate downstream of immunoreceptors, such as the T-cell, B-cell, or Fc receptors, following engagement by their respective ligands. This pathway involves Src family kinase-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) that recruit and activate spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) or Zap70 (zeta-associated protein of 70 kDa) kinases, which in turn activate a variety of downstream signals. Evidence has been building from a variety of sources, particularly mouse models, that molecules involved in the immunoreceptor signaling pathway are also required for signals initiated by integrins. Integrins are the major cell surface receptors that mediate adhesion of leukocytes to a variety of extracellular matrix proteins and counter-receptors expressed on endothelial cells. Integrin ligation is a critical step in the activation of leukocyte effector functions (such as neutrophil degranulation or lymphocyte proliferation). Integrin signaling through pathways common to those utilized by immunoreceptors provides a mechanism by which leukocyte adhesion can regulate activation of cellular responses. In animal models, integrin-mediated signal transduction plays a critical role in inflammatory disease. In this review, we discuss the convergence of immunoreceptor and integrin signaling, focusing on how these pathways modulate leukocyte activation.

Abstract
The chemotactic peptide formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenilalanine (fMLP) triggers intracellular protein tyrosine phosphorylation leading to neutrophil activation. Deficiency of the Src family kinases Hck and Fgr have previously been found to regulate fMLP-induced degranulation. In this study, we further investigate fMLP signaling in hck-/-fgr-/- neutrophils and find that they fail to activate a respiratory burst and display reduced F-actin polymerization in response to fMLP. Additionally, albeit migration of both hck-/-fgr-/-mouse neutrophils and human neutrophils incubated with the Src family kinase inhibitor 4-amino-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-7-(t-butyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (PP2) through 3-microm pore size Transwells was normal, deficiency, or inhibition, of Src kinases resulted in a failure of neutrophils to migrate through 1-microm pore size Transwells. Among MAPKs, phosphorylation of ERK1/2 was not different, phosphorylation of p38 was only partially affected, and phosphorylation of JNK was markedly decreased in fMLP-stimulated hck-/-fgr-/- neutrophils and in human neutrophils incubated with PP2. An increase in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration and phosphorylation of Akt/PKB occurred normally in fMLP-stimulated hck-/-fgr-/- neutrophils, indicating that activation of both phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C and PI3K is independent of Hck and Fgr. In contrast, phosphorylation of the Rho/Rac guanine nucleotide exchange factor Vav1 and the Rac target p21-activated kinases were markedly reduced in both hck-/-fgr-/- neutrophils and human neutrophils incubated with a PP2. Consistent with these findings, PP2 inhibited Rac2 activation in human neutrophils. We suggest that Hck and Fgr act within a signaling pathway triggered by fMLP receptors that involves Vav1 and p21-activated kinases, leading to respiratory burst and F-actin polymerization.

Abstract
Carboxy-terminal Src kinase (Csk) is a negative regulator of Src family kinases, which play pivotal roles in controlling cell adhesion, migration, and cancer progression. To elucidate the in vivo role of Csk in epithelial tissues, we conditionally inactivated Csk in squamous epithelia using the keratin-5 promoter/Cre-loxP system in mice. The mutant mice developed apparent defects in the skin, esophagus, and forestomach, with concomitant hyperplasia and chronic inflammation. Histology of the mutant epidermis revealed impaired cell-cell adhesion in basal cell layers. Analysis of primary keratinocytes showed that the defective cell-cell adhesion was caused by cytoskeletal remodeling via activation of the Rac1 pathway. Mutant keratinocytes also showed elevated expression of mesenchymal proteins, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and the proinflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha. Inhibition of the expression of TNF-alpha and MMP9 by the anti-inflammatory reagent FK506 could cure the epidermal hyperplasia, suggesting a causal link between inflammation and epidermal hyperplasia. These observations demonstrate that the Src/Csk circuit plays crucial roles in development and maintenance of epithelia by controlling cytoskeletal organization as well as phenotypic conversion linked to inflammatory events.

Abstract
Evolutionarily conserved, widely expressed genes provide the functional backbone of most, if not all, cell types. Although mouse mutants created by germ line gene inactivation are instrumental in establishing the importance of such genes in vivo, distortion of embryonic development or multiple body systems often preclude detailed functional studies. To overcome this limitation, DNA recombination systems such as Cre/loxP of bacteriophage P1, have been adapted for use in mammalian cells. The mutagenic event is restricted to the tissue or cell type in question leaving other body systems undisturbed. Conditional inactivation of Csk or Socs3, for example, established their key role in the prevention of inappropriate inflammation, while unexpected immunoregulatory activities emerged from studies of the NF-kappaB and AP-1 pathways. Also, cell types responsible for protective or pathogenic TNFalpha production have been identified. Inactivation of immunoregulatory receptors in leukocyte subsets can provide robust experimental systems revealing the conceptual simplicity underlying the modulation of complex signaling pathways during homeostatic responses. As illustrated for TGF-beta receptor, such system-guided approaches can provide a comprehensive picture of the regulatory events driving in vivo phenotype and specific responses of primary cells. This in turn facilitates the identification of novel regulatory mechanisms, targets for therapeutic intervention and prediction of side effects. With the increasing evidence for a role of somatic mutations in a wider range of human diseases, conditional mouse models are set to play a continuing part in the identification of pathogenic mechanisms for restoration of normal cellular processes in diseases including cancer, inflammation and autoimmunity.

Abstract
At sites of inflammation, ligation of leukocyte integrins is critical for the activation of cellular effector functions required for host defense. However, the signaling pathways linking integrin ligation to cellular responses are poorly understood. Here we show that integrin signaling in neutrophils and macrophages requires adaptors containing immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs). Neutrophils and macrophages lacking two ITAM-containing adaptor proteins, DAP12 and FcRgamma, were defective in integrin-mediated responses. Activation of the tyrosine kinase Syk by integrins required that DAP12 and FcRgamma were first phosphorylated by Src family kinases. Retroviral transduction of neutrophils and macrophages with wild-type and mutant Syk or DAP12 demonstrated that the Src homology 2 domains of Syk and the ITAM of DAP12 were required for integrin signaling. Our data show that integrin signaling for the activation of cellular responses in neutrophils and macrophages proceeds by an immunoreceptor-like mechanism.

Abstract
Neutrophil beta(2) integrins are activated by inside-out signaling regulating integrin affinity and valency; following ligand binding, beta(2) integrins trigger outside-in signals regulating cell functions. Addressing inside-out and outside-in signaling in hck(-/-)fgr(-/-) neutrophils, we found that Hck and Fgr do not regulate chemoattractant-induced activation of beta(2) integrin affinity. In fact, beta(2) integrin-mediated rapid adhesion, in static condition assays, and neutrophil adhesion to glass capillary tubes cocoated with ICAM-1, P-selectin, and a chemoattractant, under flow, were unaffected in hck(-/-)fgr(-/-) neutrophils. Additionally, examination of integrin affinity by soluble ICAM-1 binding assays and of beta(2) integrin clustering on the cell surface, showed that integrin activation did not require Hck and Fgr expression. However, after binding, hck(-/-)fgr(-/-) neutrophil spreading over beta(2) integrin ligands was reduced and they rapidly detached from the adhesive surface. Whether alterations in outside-in signaling affect sustained adhesion to the vascular endothelium in vivo was addressed by examining neutrophil adhesiveness to inflamed muscle venules. Intravital microscopy analysis allowed us to conclude that Hck and Fgr regulate neither the number of rolling cells nor rolling velocity in neutrophils. However, arrest of hck(-/-)fgr(-/-) neutrophils to >60 microm in diameter venules was reduced. Thus, Hck and Fgr play no role in chemoattractant-induced inside-out beta(2) integrin activation but regulate outside-in signaling-dependent sustained adhesion.

Abstract
Most inhibitory receptors in the immune system contain one or several immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIM) and recruit the SH2 domain-containing phosphatases SHP-1, SHP-2 and/or SHIP, which are generally believed to be essential for the inhibitory function. However, it has not been systematically investigated whether ITIM-bearing receptors exert their function through alternative interactions. Here we describe that leukocyte-associated Ig-like receptor (LAIR)-1 has inhibitory function in DT40 chicken B cells that lack both SHP-1 and SHP-2. In addition, we found that LAIR-1 did not recruit SHIP upon phosphorylation. Thus, LAIR-1 can function independently from SH2 domain-containing phosphatases and must recruit at least one other signaling molecule. Using a yeast-tri-hybrid system, we found that phosphorylated LAIR-1 bound the C-terminal Src kinase (Csk). The interaction required the SH2 domain of Csk and phosphorylation of the tyrosine in the N-terminal ITIM of LAIR-1. We propose that Csk is an additional player in the regulation of the immune system by ITIM-bearing receptors.

Abstract
C-terminal Src kinase (CSK) and CSK-homologous kinase (CHK) are endogenous inhibitors of the Src-family protein tyrosine kinases (SFKs). Since constitutive activation of SFKs contributes to cancer formation and progression, to prevent excessive activation of SFKs, their activity in normal cells is kept at the basal level by CSK and CHK. CSK and CHK inactivate SFKs by specifically phosphorylating a consensus tyrosine (called Y(T)) near their C-termini. Upon phosphorylation, the phospho-Y(T) engages in intramolecular interactions that lock the SFK molecule in an inactive conformation. SFKs are anchored to the plasma membrane, while CSK and CHK are localized predominantly in the cytosol. To inhibit SFKs, CSK and CHK need to translocate to the plasma membrane. Recruitment of CSK and CHK to the plasma membrane is mediated by the binding of their SH2, SH3 and/or kinase domains to specific transmembrane proteins, G-proteins and adaptor proteins located near the plasma membrane. For CSK, membrane recruitment often accompanies activation. CSK and CHK employ two types of direct interactions with SFKs to achieve efficient Y(T) phosphorylation: (i) short-range interactions involving binding of the active sites of CSK and CHK to specific residues near Y(T), (ii) long-range non-catalytic interactions involving binding of SFKs to motifs located distally from the active sites of CSK and CHK. The interactions between CSK and SFKs are transient in nature. Unlike CSK, CHK binds tightly to SFKs to form stable protein complexes. The binding is non-catalytic as it is independent of Y(T). More importantly, the tight binding alone is sufficient to completely inhibit SFKs. This non-catalytic inhibitory binding represents a novel mechanism employed by CHK to inhibit SFKs. Given that SFKs are implicated in cancer development, compounds mimicking the non-catalytic inhibitory mechanism of CHK are potential anti-cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Src-family kinases and Syk tyrosine kinases have crucial roles in multiple leukocyte intracellular signaling pathways. In immunoreceptor-related pathways, these enzymes work together sequentially, with Src-family kinases phosphorylating specific protein substrates, which in turn recruit and activate Syk. Recent evidence indicates that several non-immunoreceptors also use Src-family kinases and Syk in this same fashion. In leukocyte integrin signaling, the interaction between the kinases is more complex, where they appear to act in a sequential manner but the mechanisms by which they are activated remain poorly defined. Elucidating the regulation of these tyrosine kinase-based signaling pathways in leukocytes remains an important goal in understanding how immune cells respond to the multitude of activating agents they encounter.

Abstract
In macrophages and monocytes, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) triggers the production of pro-inflammatory cytokine through Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4. Although major TLR signalling pathways are mediated by serine or threonine kinases including IKK, TAK1, p38 and JNKs, a number of reports suggested that tyrosine phosphorylation of intracellular proteins is involved in LPS signalling. Here, we identified several tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins using mass spectrometric analysis in response to LPS stimulation. Among these proteins, we characterized C-terminal Src kinase (Csk), which negatively regulates Src-like kinases in RAW 264.7 cells using RNAi knockdown technology. Unexpectedly, LPS-induced CD40 activation and the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokine such as IL-6 and TNF-alpha, was down-regulated in Csk knockdown cells. Furthermore, overall cellular tyrosine phosphorylation and TLR4-mediated activation of IkappaB-alpha, Erk and p38 but not of JNK, were also down-regulated in Csk knockdown cells. The protein expression levels of a tyrosine kinase, Fgr, were reduced in Csk knockdown cells, suggesting that Csk is a critical regulator of TLR4-mediated signalling by modifying the levels of Src-like kinases.

Abstract
The proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF) modulates cellular responses through the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) signaling pathways, but the molecular mechanisms underlying MAPK activation are unknown. T cell protein tyrosine phosphatase (TCPTP) is essential for hematopoietic development and negatively regulates inflammatory responses. Using TCPTP-deficient fibroblasts, we show here that TCPTP regulates TNF-induced MAPK but not NF-kappaB signaling. TCPTP interacted with the adaptor protein TRAF2, and dephosphorylated and inactivated Src tyrosine kinases to suppress downstream signaling through extracellular signal-regulated kinases and production of interleukin 6. These results link TCPTP and Src tyrosine kinases to the selective regulation of TNF-induced MAPK signaling and identify a previously unknown mechanism for modulating inflammatory responses mediated by TNF.

Abstract
PML-retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARalpha) regulated adaptor molecule 1 (PRAM-1) is an intracellular adaptor molecule that is upregulated during the induced granulocytic differentiation of promyelocytic leukemic cells and during normal human myelopoiesis. This report describes the generation of PRAM-1-deficient mice and an analysis of the function of this adaptor in neutrophil differentiation and mature neutrophil function. We demonstrate here that neutrophil differentiation is not impaired in PRAM-1-deficient mice and that PRAM-1-deficient neutrophils function normally following engagement of Fcgamma receptors. In contrast, mature PRAM-1-null neutrophils exhibit significant defects in adhesion-dependent reactive oxygen intermediate production and degranulation. Surprisingly, other integrin-dependent responses, such as cell spreading and activation of several signaling pathways, are normal. Together, these findings demonstrate the uncoupling of key integrin-dependent responses in the absence of PRAM-1 and show this adaptor to be critical for select integrin functions in neutrophils.

Abstract
The Ig-like receptor family member, PIR-B, has been shown to play an inhibitory role in receptor signaling within B cells, mast cells, and dendritic cells. As it has been implicated in integrin-mediated responses, we investigated the effect of loss of the PIR-B protein on integrin-mediated signaling in primary murine myeloid cells. The pir-b-/- neutrophils displayed enhanced respiratory burst, secondary granule release, and a hyperadhesive phenotype when plated on surfaces coated with either extracellular matrix proteins or cellular adhesion molecules in the presence or absence of the soluble inflammatory agonist TNF-alpha. The pir-b-/- and wild-type cells responded equivalently when stimulated with TNF-alpha in suspension, indicating that the hyperresponsive phenotype of the pir-b-/- cells during adhesion was due to enhanced integrin signaling. Both wild-type and pir-b-/- neutrophils expressed similar levels of integrin subunits. Primary bone marrow-derived macrophages from pir-b-/- mice were also hyperadhesive and spread more rapidly than wild-type cells following plating on surfaces that cross-linked cellular beta2 integrins. Biochemical analysis of macrophages from pir-b-/- mice revealed enhanced phosphorylation and activation of proteins involved in integrin signaling. These observations point to a nonredundant role for PIR-B in the regulation of leukocyte integrin signaling.
