Eldeeb MA, Zhou W, Esmaili M, Elgohary AM, Wei H, Fahlman RP. N-degron-mediated degradation of the proteolytically activated form of PKC-theta kinase attenuates its pro-apoptotic function. Cell Signal 2023; 110:110830. [PMID: 37516395 DOI: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2023.110830] [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: 05/22/2023] [Revised: 07/04/2023] [Accepted: 07/26/2023] [Indexed: 07/31/2023]
Abstract
Cellular signalling cues lead to the initiation of apoptotic pathways and often result in the activation of caspases which in turn cause the generation of proteolytically generated protein fragments with new or altered functions. Mounting number of studies reveal that the activity of these proteolytically activated protein fragments can be counteracted via their selective degradation by the N-degron degradation pathways. Here, we investigate the proteolytically generated fragment of the PKC theta kinase, where we demonstrate the first report on the stability of this pro-apoptotic protein fragment. We have determined that the pro-apoptotic cleaved fragment of PKC-theta is unstable in cells because its N-terminal lysine targets it for proteasomal degradation via the N-degron degradation pathway and this degradation is inhibited by mutating the destabilizing N-termini, knockdown of the UBR1 and UBR2 E3 ligases. Tellingly, we demonstrate that the metabolic stabilization of the cleaved fragment of PKC-theta or inhibition of the N-degron degradation augments the apoptosis-inducing effect of staurosporine in Jurkat cells. Notably, we have unveiled that the cleaved fragment of PKC theta, per se, can induce apoptotic cell death in Jurkat T-cell leukemia. Our results expand the functional scope of mammalian N-degron degradation pathways, and support the notion that targeting N-degron degradation machinery may have promising therapeutic implications in cancer cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Structural variations (SVs) in individual genomes are major determinants of complex traits, including adaptability to environmental variables. The Mongolian and Hainan cattle breeds in East Asia are of taurine and indicine origins that have evolved to adapt to cold and hot environments, respectively. However, few studies have investigated SVs in East Asian cattle genomes and their roles in environmental adaptation, and little is known about adaptively introgressed SVs in East Asian cattle. RESULTS In this study, we examine the roles of SVs in the climate adaptation of these two cattle lineages by generating highly contiguous chromosome-scale genome assemblies. Comparison of the two assemblies along with 18 Mongolian and Hainan cattle genomes obtained by long-read sequencing data provides a catalog of 123,898 nonredundant SVs. Several SVs detected from long reads are in exons of genes associated with epidermal differentiation, skin barrier, and bovine tuberculosis resistance. Functional investigations show that a 108-bp exonic insertion in SPN may affect the uptake of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by macrophages, which might contribute to the low susceptibility of Hainan cattle to bovine tuberculosis. Genotyping of 373 whole genomes from 39 breeds identifies 2610 SVs that are differentiated along a "north-south" gradient in China and overlap with 862 related genes that are enriched in pathways related to environmental adaptation. We identify 1457 Chinese indicine-stratified SVs that possibly originate from banteng and are frequent in Chinese indicine cattle. CONCLUSIONS Our findings highlight the unique contribution of SVs in East Asian cattle to environmental adaptation and disease resistance.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint therapy (ICT) has the power to eradicate cancer, but the mechanisms that determine effective therapy-induced immune responses are not fully understood. Here, using high-dimensional single-cell profiling, we interrogate whether the landscape of T cell states in the peripheral blood predict responses to combinatorial targeting of the OX40 costimulatory and PD-1 inhibitory pathways. Single-cell RNA sequencing and mass cytometry expose systemic and dynamic activation states of therapy-responsive CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in tumor-bearing mice with expression of distinct natural killer (NK) cell receptors, granzymes, and chemokines/chemokine receptors. Moreover, similar NK cell receptor-expressing CD8+ T cells are also detected in the blood of immunotherapy-responsive cancer patients. Targeting the NK cell and chemokine receptors in tumor-bearing mice shows the functional importance of these receptors for therapy-induced anti-tumor immunity. These findings provide a better understanding of ICT and highlight the use and targeting of dynamic biomarkers on T cells to improve cancer immunotherapy.

Genome Med 2021; 13:172. [PMID: 34715901 PMCID: PMC8557010 DOI: 10.1186/s13073-021-00972-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2021] [Accepted: 09/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Deletions and duplications of the multigenic 16p11.2 and 22q11.2 copy number variant (CNV) regions are associated with brain-related disorders including schizophrenia, intellectual disability, obesity, bipolar disorder, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The contribution of individual CNV genes to each of these identified phenotypes is unknown, as well as the contribution of these CNV genes to other potentially subtler health implications for carriers. Hypothesizing that DNA copy number exerts most effects via impacts on RNA expression, we attempted a novel in silico fine-mapping approach in non-CNV carriers using both GWAS and biobank data. METHODS We first asked whether gene expression level in any individual gene in the CNV region alters risk for a known CNV-associated behavioral phenotype(s). Using transcriptomic imputation, we performed association testing for CNV genes within large genotyped cohorts for schizophrenia, IQ, BMI, bipolar disorder, and ASD. Second, we used a biobank containing electronic health data to compare the medical phenome of CNV carriers to controls within 700,000 individuals in order to investigate the full spectrum of health effects of the CNVs. Third, we used genotypes for over 48,000 individuals within the biobank to perform phenome-wide association studies between imputed expressions of individual 16p11.2 and 22q11.2 genes and over 1500 health traits. RESULTS Using large genotyped cohorts, we found individual genes within 16p11.2 associated with schizophrenia (TMEM219, INO80E, YPEL3), BMI (TMEM219, SPN, TAOK2, INO80E), and IQ (SPN), using conditional analysis to identify upregulation of INO80E as the driver of schizophrenia, and downregulation of SPN and INO80E as increasing BMI. We identified both novel and previously observed over-represented traits within the electronic health records of 16p11.2 and 22q11.2 CNV carriers. In the phenome-wide association study, we found seventeen significant gene-trait pairs, including psychosis (NPIPB11, SLX1B) and mood disorders (SCARF2), and overall enrichment of mental traits. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate how integration of genetic and clinical data aids in understanding CNV gene function and implicates pleiotropy and multigenicity in CNV biology.

Abstract
Immunotherapy using immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) induces durable responses in many metastatic cancers. Metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM), typically occurring in the liver, is one of the most refractory tumours to ICIs and has dismal outcomes. Monosomy 3 (M3), polysomy 8q, and BAP1 loss in primary uveal melanoma (pUM) are associated with poor prognoses. The presence of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) within pUM and surrounding mUM - and some evidence of clinical responses to adoptive TIL transfer - strongly suggests that UMs are indeed immunogenic despite their low mutational burden. The mechanisms that suppress TILs in pUM and mUM are unknown. We show that BAP1 loss is correlated with upregulation of several genes associated with suppressive immune responses, some of which build an immune suppressive axis, including HLA-DR, CD38, and CD74. Further, single-cell analysis of pUM by mass cytometry confirmed the expression of these and other markers revealing important functions of infiltrating immune cells in UM, most being regulatory CD8+ T lymphocytes and tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs). Transcriptomic analysis of hepatic mUM revealed similar immune profiles to pUM with BAP1 loss, including the expression of IDO1. At the protein level, we observed TAMs and TILs entrapped within peritumoural fibrotic areas surrounding mUM, with increased expression of IDO1, PD-L1, and β-catenin (CTNNB1), suggesting tumour-driven immune exclusion and hence the immunotherapy resistance. These findings aid the understanding of how the immune response is organised in BAP1 - mUM, which will further enable functional validation of detected biomarkers and the development of focused immunotherapeutic approaches. © 2020 The Authors.

Abstract
Microglia, the brain-resident myeloid cells, are strongly implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis by human genetics. However, the mechanisms by which microglial gene expression is regulated in a region-specific manner over the course of normal aging and in neurodegenerative disease are only beginning to be deciphered. Herein, we used a specific marker of microglia (TMEM119) and a cell-type expression profiling tool (CellMapper) to identify a human microglial gene expression module. Surprisingly, we found that microglial module genes are robustly expressed in several healthy human brain regions known to be vulnerable in AD, in addition to other regions affected only later in disease or spared in AD. Surveying the microglial gene set for differential expression over the lifespan in mouse models of AD and a related tauopathy revealed that the majority of microglial module genes were significantly upregulated in cortex and hippocampus as a function of age and transgene status. Extending these results, we also observed significant upregulation of microglial module genes in several AD-affected brain regions in addition to other regions using postmortem brain tissue from human AD samples. In pathologically confirmed AD cases, we found preliminary evidence that microglial genes may be dysregulated in a sex-specific manner. Finally, we identified specific and significant overlap between the described microglial gene set—identified by unbiased co-expression analysis—and genes known to impart risk for AD. Our findings suggest that microglial genes show enriched expression in AD-vulnerable brain regions, are upregulated during aging and neurodegeneration in mice, and are upregulated in pathologically affected brain regions in AD. Taken together, our data-driven findings from multiple publicly accessible datasets reemphasize the importance of microglial gene expression alterations in AD and, more importantly, suggest that regional and sex-specific variation in microglial gene expression may be implicated in risk for and progression of neurodegenerative disease.

Abstract
CD43 is one of the most abundant co-stimulatory molecules on a T-cell surface; it transduces activation signals through its cytoplasmic domain, contributing to modulation of the outcome of T-cell responses. The aim of this study was to uncover new signalling pathways regulated by this sialomucin. Analysis of changes in protein abundance allowed us to identify pyruvate kinase isozyme M2 (PKM2), an enzyme of the glycolytic pathway, as an element potentially participating in the signalling cascade resulting from the engagement of CD43 and the T-cell receptor (TCR). We found that the glycolytic activity of this enzyme was not significantly increased in response to TCR+CD43 co-stimulation, but that PKM2 was tyrosine phosphorylated, suggesting that it was performing moonlight functions. We report that phosphorylation of both Y105 of PKM2 and of Y705 of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 was induced in response to TCR+CD43 co-stimulation, resulting in activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 5/extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 (MEK5/ERK5) pathway. ERK5 and the cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) were activated, and c-Myc and nuclear factor-κB (p65) nuclear localization, as well as Bad phosphorylation, were augmented. Consistent with this, expression of human CD43 in a murine T-cell hybridoma favoured cell survival. Altogether, our data highlight novel signalling pathways for the CD43 molecule in T lymphocytes, and underscore a role for CD43 in promoting cell survival through non-glycolytic functions of metabolic enzymes.

Abstract
The effect of resistin (RETN) on the response to anti-HCV therapy remains unclear. A prospective cohort study was performed using 655 consecutive HCV patients, of whom 513 had completed a course of interferon-based therapy. Multivariate and GEE analyses revealed four RETN single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs34861192, rs3219175, rs3745367 and rs1423096, to be synergistically associated with resistin levels. After adjusting for co-factors such as interferon λ-3 (IFNL3)-rs12979860, the resistin level and the hyper-resistinemic genotype at the 4 RETN SNPs were positively and negatively associated with a sustained virological response (SVR), respectively. RETN-rs3745367 was in linkage disequilibrium with IFNL3-rs12979860. Compared to non-SVR patients, SVR patients had higher levels of pre-therapy resistin, primarily originating from intrahepatic lymphocytes, stellate cells, Kupffer cells, hepatic progenitor cells and hepatocytes. This difference diminished over the course of therapy, as only SVR patients exhibited a 24-week post-therapy decrease in resistin. Both resistin and IFNL3 mRNAs were upregulated, but only resistin mRNA was upregulated by recombinant resistin in peripheral blood mononuclear cells with and without hyper-resistinemic genotypes of the 4 RETN SNPs, respectively. Fine-tuned by RETN SNPs, intrahepatic, multi-cellular resistin reinforced IFNL3 in eliminating HCV via immunomodulation to counteract pro-inflammation. These results encourage the development of novel resistin-targeted anti-viral agents.

Abstract
In normal tissues, strict control of tissue size is achieved by regulating cell numbers. The mechanism that controls total cell number is known as contact inhibition of growth and it depends on the NF2/Merlin pathway. Negative regulation of this pathway by deleterious mutations or by oncogenes results in cell transformation and tumor progression. Here we provide evidence that the CD43 sialomucin cooperates with oncogenic signals to promote cell transformation by abrogating the contact inhibition of growth through a molecular mechanism that involves AKT-dependent Merlin phosphorylation and degradation. Accordingly, inhibition of endogenous CD43 expression by RNA interference in lung, cervix and colon human cancer cells impaired tumor growth in vivo. These data underscore a previously unidentified role for CD43 in non-hematopoietic tumor progression.

Abstract
CD43 is a glycosylated surface protein abundantly expressed on lymphocytes. Its role in immune responses has been difficult to clearly establish, with evidence supporting both costimulatory and inhibitory functions. In addition, its contribution to disease pathogenesis remains elusive. Using a well-characterized murine model of elastase-induced abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) that recapitulates many key features of the human disease, we established that the presence of CD43 on T cells is required for AAA formation. Moreover, we found that IFN-γ-producing CD8(+) T cells, but not CD4(+) T cells, promote the development of aneurysm by enhancing cellular apoptosis and matrix metalloprotease activity. Reconstitution with IFN-γ-producing CD8(+) T cells or recombinant IFN-γ promotes the aneurysm phenotype in CD43(-/-) mice, whereas IFN-γ antagonism abrogates disease in wild-type animals. Furthermore, we showed that the presence of CD43 with an intact cytoplasmic domain capable of binding to ezrin-radixin-moesin cytoskeletal proteins is essential for optimal in vivo IFN-γ production by T cells and aneurysm formation. We have thus identified a robust physiologic role for CD43 in a relevant animal model and established an important in vivo function for CD43-dependent regulation of IFN-γ production. These results further suggest that IFN-γ antagonism or selective blockade of CD43(+)CD8(+) T cell activities merits further investigation for immunotherapy in AAA.

Abstract
Core 2 N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 1 (C2GnT1) is a key enzyme participating in the synthesis of core 2-associated sialyl Lewis x (C2-O-sLe(x)), a ligand involved in selectin-mediated leukocyte trafficking and cancer metastasis. To accomplish that, C2GnT1 needs to be localized to the Golgi and this step requires interaction of its cytoplasmic tail (CT) with a protein that has not been identified. Employing C2GnT1 CT as the bait to perform a yeast two-hybrid screen, we have identified Golgi phosphoprotein 3 (GOLPH3) as a principal candidate protein that interacts with C2GnT1 and demonstrated that C2GnT1 binds to GOLPH3 via the LLRRR(9) sequence in the CT. Confocal fluorescence microscopic analysis shows substantial Golgi co-localization of C2GnT1 and GOLPH3. Upon GOLPH3 knockdown, C2GnT1 is found mainly in the endoplasmic reticulum and decorated with complex-type N-glycans, indicating that the enzyme has been transported to the Golgi but is not retained. Also, we have found that a recombinant protein consisting of C2GnT1 CT(1-16)-Leu(17-32)-Gly(33-42)-GFP is localized to the Golgi although the same construct with mutated CT (AAAAA(9)) is not. The data demonstrate that the C2GnT1 CT is necessary and sufficient for Golgi localization of C2GnT1. Furthermore, GOLPH3 knockdown results in reduced synthesis of C2-O-sLe(x) associated with P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1, reduced cell tethering to and rolling on immobilized P- or E-selectin, and compromised E-selectin-induced activation of spleen tyrosine kinase and cell adhesion to intercellular adhesion molecule-1 under dynamic flow. Our results reveal that GOLPH3 can regulate cell-cell interaction by controlling Golgi retention of C2GnT1.

Abstract
T cell (TC) activation requires the coordinated signaling of the T cell receptor (TCR) and coreceptor molecules, allowing TCs to respond to lower degrees of TCR occupancy. Coreceptor molecules set the threshold for TC activation by controlling different regulatory signaling loops. The Cbl family members prevent undesired activation of T cells by regulating TCR signals. In this report, we show that TC prestimulation by the CD43 coreceptor molecule before TCR engagement inhibits TCR-dependent c-Cbl tyrosine phosphorylation, c-Cbl interaction with the adapter molecule Crk-L and promotes Cbl-b degradation in a PKCθ-dependent manner. Consequently, the prolonged tyrosine phosphorylation and delayed degradation of ZAP-70 and of the ζ chain lead to enhanced mitogen-activated protein kinase activation and robust TC response. These data indicates that CD43-mediated signals lower the threshold for TC activation by restricting the c-Cbl and Cbl-b inhibitory effects on TCR signaling. In addition to the strength and duration of intracellular signals, our data underscore temporality with which certain molecules are engaged as yet another mechanism to fine tune TC signal quality, and ultimately immune function.

Abstract
TCR signaling leads to the activation of kinases such as inducible tyrosine kinase (Itk), a key regulatory protein in T-lymphocyte activation and function. The homolog of Itk in B cells is Bruton's tyrosine kinase, previously shown to bind and phosphorylate the transcription factor TFII-I. TFII-I plays major roles in transcription and signaling. Our purpose herein was twofold: first, to identify some of the molecular determinants involved in TFII-I activation downstream of receptor crosslinking in T cells and second, to uncover the existence of Itk-TFII-I signaling in T lymphocytes. We report for the first time that TFII-I is tyrosine phosphorylated upon TCR, TCR/CD43, and TCR/CD28 co-receptor engagement in human and/or murine T cells. We show that Itk physically interacts with TFII-I and potentiates TFII-I-driven c-fos transcription. We demonstrate that TFII-I is phosphorylated upon co-expression of WT, but not kinase-dead, or kinase-dead/R29C mutant Itk, suggesting these residues are important for TFII-I phosphorylation, presumably via an Itk-dependent mechanism. Structural analysis of TFII-I-Itk interactions revealed that the first 90 residues of TFII-I are dispensable for Itk binding. Mutations within Itk's kinase, pleckstrin-homology, and proline-rich regions did not abolish TFII-I-Itk binding. Our results provide an initial step in understanding the biological role of Itk-TFII-I signaling in T-cell function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human peripheral blood monocytes (Mo) consist of subsets distinguished by expression of CD16 (FCgammaRIII) and chemokine receptors. Classical CD16- Mo express CCR2 and migrate in response to CCL2, while a minor CD16+ Mo subset expresses CD16 and CX3CR1 and migrates into tissues expressing CX3CL1. CD16+ Mo produce pro-inflammatory cytokines and are expanded in certain inflammatory conditions including sepsis and HIV infection. RESULTS To gain insight into the developmental relationship and functions of CD16+ and CD16- Mo, we examined transcriptional profiles of these Mo subsets in peripheral blood from healthy individuals. Of 16,328 expressed genes, 2,759 genes were differentially expressed and 228 and 250 were >2-fold upregulated and downregulated, respectively, in CD16+ compared to CD16- Mo. CD16+ Mo were distinguished by upregulation of transcripts for dendritic cell (DC) (SIGLEC10, CD43, RARA) and macrophage (MPhi) (CSF1R/CD115, MafB, CD97, C3aR) markers together with transcripts relevant for DC-T cell interaction (CXCL16, ICAM-2, LFA-1), cell activation (LTB, TNFRSF8, LST1, IFITM1-3, HMOX1, SOD-1, WARS, MGLL), and negative regulation of the cell cycle (CDKN1C, MTSS1), whereas CD16- Mo were distinguished by upregulation of transcripts for myeloid (CD14, MNDA, TREM1, CD1d, C1qR/CD93) and granulocyte markers (FPR1, GCSFR/CD114, S100A8-9/12). Differential expression of CSF1R, CSF3R, C1QR1, C3AR1, CD1d, CD43, CXCL16, and CX3CR1 was confirmed by flow cytometry. Furthermore, increased expression of RARA and KLF2 transcripts in CD16+ Mo coincided with absence of cell surface cutaneous lymphocyte associated antigen (CLA) expression, indicating potential imprinting for non-skin homing. CONCLUSION These results suggest that CD16+ and CD16- Mo originate from a common myeloid precursor, with CD16+ Mo having a more MPhi - and DC-like transcription program suggesting a more advanced stage of differentiation. Distinct transcriptional programs, together with their recruitment into tissues via different mechanisms, also suggest that CD16+ and CD16- Mo give rise to functionally distinct DC and MPhi in vivo.

Abstract
Establishment of Tuberculosis infection begins with the successful entry and survival of the pathogen within macrophages. We previously showed that macrophage CD43 is required for optimal uptake and growth inhibition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis both in vitro and in vivo. Here, we explore the mechanisms by which CD43 restricts mycobacterial growth in murine macrophages. We found that although M. tuberculosis grows more readily in resting CD43-/- macrophages, priming of cells with IFN-gamma returns the bacterial growth rate to that seen in CD43+/+ cells. To discern the mechanisms by which M. tuberculosis exhibits enhanced growth within resting CD43-/- macrophages, we assessed the induction of inflammatory mediators in response to infection. We found that absence of CD43 resulted in reduced production of TNF-alpha, IL-12 and IL-6 by M. tuberculosis-infected macrophages. We also found that infected resting, but not activated CD43-/- macrophages, showed decreased apoptosis and increased necrosis. Exogenous addition of the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha restored control of M. tuberculosis growth and induction of apoptosis to CD43+/+ levels. We propose that CD43 is involved in the inflammatory response to M. tuberculosis and, through the induction of pro-inflammatory mediators, can regulate apoptosis to control intracellular growth of the bacterium.

Abstract
Binding of Ag by the Ag receptor in combination with other stimuli provided by costimulatory receptors triggers the expansion and differentiation of T lymphocytes. However, it is unclear whether the time when costimulatory molecules interact with their counterreceptors with regards to Ag recognition leads to different T cell responses. Provided that the coreceptor molecule CD43 is a very abundant molecule evenly distributed on the membrane of T cell surface protruding 45 nm from the cell, we hypothesized that CD43 is one of the first molecules that interacts with the APC and thus modulates TCR activation. We show that engaging CD43 before or simultaneously with the TCR inhibited Lck-Src homology 2 domain containing phosphatase-1 interaction, preventing the onset of a negative feedback loop on TCR signals, favoring high levels of IL-2, cell proliferation, and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. In contrast, the intracellular signals resulting of engaging the TCR before CD43 were insufficient to induce IL-2 production and cell proliferation. Interestingly, when stimulated through the TCR and CD28, cells proliferated vigorously, independent of the order with which molecules were engaged. These results indicate that CD43 induces a signaling cascade that prolongs the duration of TCR signaling and support the temporal summation model for T cell activation. In addition to the strength and duration of intracellular signals, our data underscore temporality with which certain molecules are engaged as yet another mechanism to fine tune T cell signal quality, and ultimately immune function.

Abstract
E-selectin, an inducible cell adhesion molecule expressed on endothelial cells, mediates the rolling on endothelium of leukocytes expressing E-selectin ligands, such as neutrophils and activated T cells. Although previous studies using mice lacking P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) have indicated that PSGL-1 on Th1 cells functions as an E-selectin ligand, the molecular nature of E-selectin ligands other than PSGL-1 remains unknown. In this study, we show that a 130-kDa glycoprotein was precipitated by an E-selectin-IgG chimera from mouse Th1 cells. This protein was cleaved by O-sialoglycoprotein endopeptidase and required sialic acid for E-selectin binding. The mAb 1B11, which recognizes the 130-kDa glycoform of CD43, recognized the 130-kDa band in the E-selectin-IgG precipitate. In addition, immunoprecipitation of the E-selectin-IgG precipitate with 1B11 depleted the 130-kDa protein, further confirming its identity as CD43. CD43 was also precipitated with E-selectin-IgG from cultured human T cells. E-selectin-dependent cell rolling on CD43 was observed under flow conditions using a CD43-IgG chimera generated in Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing alpha-1,3-fucosyltransferase VII and a core 2 beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase. These results suggest that CD43, when modified by a specific set of glycosyltranferases, can function as an E-selectin ligand and therefore potentially mediate activated T cell migration into inflamed sites.

Abstract
The turnover of phosphoinositides leading to PKC activation constitutes one of the principal axes of intracellular signaling. In T lymphocytes, the enhanced and prolonged PKC activation resulting from the engagement of the TcR and co-receptor molecules ensures a productive T cell response. The CD43 co-receptor promotes activation and proliferation, by inducing IL-2 secretion and CD69 expression. CD43 engagement has been shown to promote phosphoinositide turnover and DAG production. Moreover, PKC activation was found to be required for the activation of the MAP kinase pathway in response to CD43 ligation. Here we show that CD43 engagement led to the membrane translocation and enzymatic activity of specific PKC isoenzymes: cPKC (alpha/beta), nPKC (epsilon and theta;), aPKC (zeta) and PKCmu. We also show that activation of PKCtheta; resulting from CD43 ligation induced CD69 expression through an ERK-dependent pathway leading to AP-1, NF-kappaB activation and an ERK independent pathway promoting NFAT activation. Together, these data suggest that PKCtheta; plays a critical role in the co-stimulatory functions of CD43 in human T cells.

Abstract
We have used HSCA-2, an mAb that recognizes a sialic acid-dependent epitope on the low molecular mass (approximately 115-kDa) glycoform of CD43 that is expressed in resting T and NK cells, to examine the expression characteristics and stimulatory functions of CD43 in human CD4+ memory T cells. Having previously reported that the memory cells that respond to recall Ags in a CD4+ CD45RO+ T cell population almost all belong to a subset whose surface CD43 expression levels are elevated, we now find that exposing these same memory T cells to HSCA-2 mAb markedly increases their proliferative responsiveness to recall Ags. We think it unlikely that this increase in responsiveness is a result of CD43-mediated monocyte activation, especially given that the HSCA-2 mAb differs from all previously used CD43 mAbs in having no obvious binding specificity for monocyte CD43. Predictably, treatment with HSCA-2 mAb did not lead to significant recall responses in CD4+ CD45RO+ T cells, whose CD43 expression levels were similar to or lower than those of naive cells. Other experiments indicated that the HSCA-2 mAb was capable of enhancing the proliferative responsiveness of CD4+ memory T cells that had been exposed to polyclonal stimulation by monocyte-bound CD3 mAb and could also act in synergy with CD28 mAb to enhance the responsiveness of CD4+ T cells to CD3 stimulation. Taken together, these findings suggest that the CD43 molecules expressed on CD4+ memory T cells may be capable of enhancing the costimulatory signaling and hence providing accessory functions to TCR-mediated activation processes.

Abstract
CD43 or leukosialin is a transmembrane sialoglycoprotein, whose extracellular domain participates in cell adhesiveness and the cytoplasmic tail regulates a variety of intracellular signal transduction pathways involved in cell proliferation. CD43 is abundantly expressed on the surface of hematopoietic cells, but CD43 expression is also frequently found in the tumor cells of nonhematopoietic origin. In the early stages of some tumors, the accumulation of tumor suppressor protein p53 has been described. Here, we show that the expression of CD43 causes the induction of functionally active p53 protein. Moreover, we found that the activation of p53 by CD43 is mediated by tumor suppressor protein ARF. The coexpression of CD43 and ARF in ARF-null mouse embryonic fibroblasts resulted in programmed cell death, but that was not the case when CD43 alone was expressed in these cells. These data provide the first evidence of the connection between p53- and CD43-dependent pathways.

Abstract
CD43 (leukosialin, sialophorin), a prominent component of the hemopoietic cell surface, has an enigmatic role in cell-cell interaction. The observation that CD43 ligation triggers homotypic aggregation of monoblastoid U937 cells has permitted analysis of this: CD43-induced aggregation was distinguishable from CD29- (also known as beta1 integrin) or CD98- (also known as 4F2, or fusion-related protein 1) induced aggregation, with different energy requirements and with partial dependence on beta2 integrins. Previous studies have focused on the role of CD43 ligation in tyrosine phosphorylation. However, in the homotypic adhesion assay, although there is initial tyrosine phosphorylation, protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors did not block aggregation. Therefore, other signaling pathways were examined. CD43 ligation induced protein tyrosine dephosphorylation, and protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors blocked aggregation. Activation of MAP kinases was not necessary. Cytoskeletal inhibitors amplified aggregation. Protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors amplified aggregation, implicating PKC as a negative regulator. CD43 ligation up-regulated surface adhesion molecules and enhanced CD29- and CD98-induced aggregation. Thus, CD43 participation in cell-cell adhesion is under stringent control, involving both surface events and several different intracellular signaling pathways, acting together to regulate the process. These mechanisms add a further dimension to the potential role of CD43 in tissue immune responses.

Abstract
CD43 is an abundant cell surface sialoglycoprotein implicated in hemopoietic cell adhesion and activation. Cell stimulation through CD43 results in recruitment of different signaling proteins, including members of the Src family kinases, Syk, phospholipase Cgamma2, the adapter protein Shc, the guanine nucleotide exchange factor Vav, and activation of protein kinase C. In this study, we report that in human T lymphocytes, the zeta-chain is part of the CD43 signaling pathway. Upon CD43 engagement, the zeta-chain was tyrosine-phosphorylated, generating docking sites for tyrosine-phosphorylated zeta-associated protein of 70 kDa and Vav. In vitro kinase assays suggested that zeta-associated protein of 70 kDa could account for the kinase activity associated with the zeta-chain following CD43 engagement. Cross-linking CD43 on the surface of the Lck-deficient JCaM.1 cells failed to phosphorylate the zeta-chain and associated proteins, suggesting that Lck is a key element in the CD43 signaling pathway leading to zeta phosphorylation. CD43 engagement with beads coated with anti-CD43 mAb resulted in concentration of the zeta-chain toward the bead attachment site, but interestingly, the distribution of the T cell Ag receptor complex remained unaffected. Recruitment of the zeta-chain through CD43-mediated signals was not restricted to T lymphocytes because phosphorylation and redistribution of the zeta-chain was also observed in NK cells. Our results provide evidence that the zeta-chain functions as a scaffold molecule in the CD43 signaling pathway, favoring the recruitment and formation of downstream signaling complexes involved in the CD43-mediated cell activation of T lymphocytes and other leukocytes such as NK cells.

Abstract
CD43 is an abundant, heavily glycosylated molecule expressed specifically on the surface of leukocytes and platelets. When leukocytes are at rest, CD43 acts to prevent both homotypic and heterotypic interactions. However, during leukocyte activation CD43 expression is repressed, facilitating the intercellular contact required for chemotaxis, phagocytosis, aggregation, adhesion to endothelium, and transendothelial migration. Consequently, CD43 repression plays a vital role both in innate and acquired immunity. Here we report that a dramatic down-regulation of CD43 mRNA levels occurs during activation of the leukocytic cell line K562. This repression coincides with repression of the transcriptional activity of the CD43 gene promoter. We have determined that heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNP-K) and Pur(alpha) act together to mediate repression of the CD43 promoter during K562 activation. The hnRNP-K molecule and Pur(alpha) bind single-stranded DNA. Therefore, exposure of single-stranded structures within the CD43 promoter probably plays a major role in effecting CD43 repression.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) transcriptional activity is regulated by several cytokines and T cell activators. CD43 (sialophorin) is a sialoglycoprotein expressed on the surface of a wide variety of blood cells including T lymphocytes. Several studies have shown that CD43 ligation induces proliferation and activation of human T lymphocytes. We were thus interested in defining whether CD43-mediated signaling events can modulate the life cycle of HIV-1. We demonstrate here that CD43 cross-linking potentiates HIV-1 promoter-driven activity and virus production that is seen following the engagement of the T-cell receptor (TCR).CD3 complex. This effect is independent of the CD28 co-stimulatory molecule and is mediated by both NF-kappaB and NFAT transcription factors. A number of signal transducers known to be involved in the TCR/CD3-dependent signal transduction pathway, including p56(lck), p36(lat), and SLP-76, as well as capacitative entry of calcium, are crucial for the noticed CD43 co-stimulatory effect. Calcium mobilization studies indicate that a synergy is occurring between CD43- and TCR/CD3-mediated signaling events leading to an augmented calcium release. These data suggest that CD43 can be seen as a co-stimulatory cell surface constituent that can modulate HIV-1 expression in T lymphocytes.

Abstract
We propose a classification of human CD4(+)CD45RO(+) memory T cells into three new subsets based on cell surface expression levels of CD43. The first subset consists of cells whose CD43 expression is relatively high; this subset also contains the highest proportion of recall Ag-reactive precursors, and its constituent cells respond far more strongly than cells in either of the other subsets to immobilized CD3 Ab in addition to secreting substantially more IFN-gamma and IL-4. Cells of the second subset express similar levels of CD43 to naive cells, and they also respond weakly to TCR-mediated stimuli as judged by either their ability to proliferate or capacity for cytokine production. The third subsets consists of cells whose CD43 expression levels are clearly down-regulated; its cells appear to be anergic to TCR-mediated stimuli, and when examined ex vivo many of them appear to be undergoing either spontaneous apoptosis via a caspase-independent pathway or Fas-mediated apoptosis via a caspase-dependent pathway, even in the resting state. An analysis of telomere lengths revealed that the typical telomere of a cell in the second subset was significantly longer than the typical telomere in the first or third subset. Taken together, these results appear to indicate that CD4(+)CD45RO(+) T cells fall into three functionally differing subsets, one being a subset of cells with fully matured memory phenotype, a second being a less mature subset of cells that retain longer telomeres and whose memory functionality is marginal, and a third consisting of anergic cells that give every appearance of being death-prone and/or in the process of dying.

Abstract
During a viral response, Ag-specific effector T cells show dramatically increased binding by the mAb 1B11 and the lectin peanut agglutinin (PNA). We investigated the contribution of CD43 expression to 1B11 and PNA binding as well as its role in generation and maintenance of a CD8 T cell response. Analysis of CD43(-/-) mice revealed no increased 1B11 binding and reduced PNA binding on virus-specific CD8 T cells from -/- mice compared with +/+ mice. Furthermore, we examined the role of CD43 in the kinetics of an immune response. We show that CD43 expression modestly effects generation of a primary virus-specific CD8 T cell response in vivo but plays a more significant role in trafficking of CD8 T cells to tissues such as the brain. More interestingly, CD43 plays a role in the contraction of the immune response, with CD43(-/-) mice showing increased numbers of Ag-specific CD8 T cells following initial expansion. Following the peak of expansion, Ag-specific CD8 T cells from -/- mice show similar proliferation but demonstrate increased Bcl-2 levels and decreased apoptosis of Ag-specific effector CD8 T cells in vitro. Consistent with a delay in the down-modulation of the immune response, following chronic viral infection CD43(-/-) mice show increased morbidity. These data suggest a dynamic role of CD43 during an immune response: a positive regulatory role in costimulation and trafficking of T cells to the CNS and a negative regulatory role in the down-modulation of an immune response.

Abstract
Movement of T-lymphocyte cell surface CD43 is associated with both antigen activation of T-cell clones and chemokine induction of T-lymphocyte motility. Here, we demonstrate that CD43 movement away from the site of T-cell receptor ligation occurs in unprimed CD4(+) T cells as well as T-cell clones. The T-cell receptor (TCR)-dependent movement of CD43 in unprimed T cells is associated with a polarized morphology and CD43 accumulation at the uropods of the cells, unlike that reported for primed T cells. The polarization of CD43 has a requirement for Src kinases and occurs in conjunction with lipid raft coalescence. Thymocytes and T-cell hybridomas, cells that have altered responses to TCR activation and lack lipid raft coalescence, do not polarize CD43 as readily as unprimed T cells. The movement of CD43 depends on the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase. Blockade of this enzyme can specifically prevent CD43 redistribution without affecting cell shape polarization. The likely mechanism of this alteration in CD43 redistribution is through decreased protein prenylation because the cholesterol-dependent lipid rafts still coalesce on activation. These findings suggest that the polarization of cell shape, lipid raft coalescence, and CD43 redistribution on T-cell activation have signaling pathway distinctions. Dissecting out the relationships between various stages of molecular redistribution and lymphocyte activation may facilitate fine-tuning of immunologic responses.

Abstract
To assess the release of proteases from neutrophils infiltrated into the peritoneal cavity in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), we investigated the regulation of CD43, LAM-1 and Mac-1 expression on the neutrophil plasma membrane using FACS analysis in CAPD patients with peritonitis. Five CAPD patients with peritonitis and five CAPD patients without peritonitis were studied. CD43 expression was immunohistochemically determined in both groups of patients using flow cytometry, and comparisons were made between the two groups. Down-regulation of CD43 and LAM-1, and up-regulation of Mac-1 were demonstrated on neutrophils obtained from CAPD dialysate of peritonitis patients after 1-h dwell time. Further up-regulation of Mac-1 developed until a dwell time of 4 h. Immunoblot analysis for neutrophil lysate from dialysate showed the presence of the asialo form of CD43 molecules and their fragments, which may be produced by cleavage of the CD43 molecule at extracellular sites. The intraperitoneal neutrophils in dialysate from CAPD patients with peritonitis are continuously activated during dwell time, and proteases may be released from neutrophils into dialysate after only a short dwell time.

Abstract
Formation of the immunological synapse requires TCR signal-dependent protein redistribution. However, the specific molecular mechanisms controlling protein relocation are not well defined. Moesin is a widely expressed phospho-protein that links many transmembrane molecules to the cortical actin cytoskeleton. Here, we demonstrate that TCR-induced exclusion of the large sialoprotein CD43 from the synapse is an active event mediated by its reversible binding to moesin. Our results also reveal that relocalization of moesin is associated with changes in the phosphorylation status of this cytoskeletal adaptor protein. Finally, these findings raise the possibility that the change in moesin localization resulting from TCR engagement modifies the overall topology of the lymphocyte membrane and facilitates molecular interactions at the site of presenting cell contact.

Abstract
Late-gestation (embryonic day 18; E18) mouse submandibular glands (SMG) comprise a network of large and small ducts that terminate in lumen-containing, presumptive acini (terminal buds) expressing unique, cell membrane-associated embryonic mucin. The objective here was to clone and sequence embryonic low molecular-weight SMG mucin, predict its secondary structure, and begin to investigate its possible role in SMG development. Evidence was found that: (1) embryonic low molecular-weight mucin is an alternatively spliced Muc10 gene product, 220 amino acids in size (approximately 25 kDa), rich in potential O-glycosylation sites, and variably glycosylated (approximately 40 and 68 kDa); (2) consensus secondary-structure prediction for embryonic low molecular-weight mucin is consistent with a molecule that is anchored to the plasma membrane, directly or indirectly (via a glycolipid), and has a protein core that serves as a scaffold for carbohydrate presentation; (3) embryonic L-selectin is immunolocalized to the plasma membrane region of terminal-bud epithelial cells in a pattern similar to that seen for embryonic mucin; (4) embryonic, but not adult, mucin is able to bind L-selectin and does so endogenously in E18 SMG. As the primary role of L-selectin is to mediate cell adhesion and its ligands are mucin-like glycoproteins, it is suggested that this embryonic low molecular-weight mucin be termed MucCAM.

Abstract
Current data suggest that interplay between two classes of molecules contributes to the regulation of hematopoiesis: hematopoietic growth factors, which regulate the survival, proliferation, and development of primitive hematopoietic cells and cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), which are responsible for the localization of hematopoiesis to the bone marrow (BM) and for mediating physical association between developing hematopoietic cells and marrow stromal tissue. A range of cell surface molecules representing several CAM superfamilies including integrins, selectins, the immunoglobulin gene superfamily and an emerging family of mucin-like molecules (the sialomucins) are involved in supporting cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions between primitive hematopoietic cells and the stromal cell-mediated hematopoietic microenvironment (HM) of the bone marrow. There is abundant evidence in non-hematopoietic tissues that CAMs are signalling molecules which participate in a range of signal transduction events important not only for regulating cell adhesion and motility, but also for cell growth and survival. Although the signalling functions of CAMs have not been studied extensively in primitive hematopoietic progenitors (HPCs), extrapolation from burgeoning data in other systems is consistent with the hypothesis that hematopoiesis within the BM is regulated by interaction between signals generated locally by CAMs and those elicited by cytokines. Evidence in support of this notion was initially provided by studies on normal HPCs demonstrating cross-talk between members of the integrin superfamily and cytokine receptors. In this article we review recent reports that mucin-like molecules are also signalling molecules on primitive hematopoietic cells and that the signals they deliver potently inhibit hematopoiesis.

Abstract
CD43 (also known as leukosialin and sialophorin) is a surface sialoglycoprotein expressed at high levels on most leukocytes implicated in adhesion, antiadhesion, and activation/proliferation mechanisms. We studied the expression of this molecule on the leukocytes of patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) in an effort to detect acquired deficiencies of this molecule. We used immunofluorescence flow cytometry in analyzing whole blood and isolated neutrophils from 49 MDS patients, 33 men and 16 women aged 33 to 85 years (median, 75 years), and 18 healthy individuals aged 35 to 80 years (median, 72 years). According to French-American-British classification criteria, 13 patients had refractory anemia, 18 had refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts, 9 had refractory anemia with excess of blasts, 4 had refractory anemia with excess of blasts in transformation to acute leukemia, and 5 had chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. We found decreased expression of CD43 on the neutrophils of these patients, and we correlated this finding with the activation status of these cells as it is defined by their phenotypes. We studied the expression of CD11b, CD18, CD35, CD67, CD69, CD44, and CD53 molecules known to be changed in the activated form of neutrophils. CD43 expression correlated positively with CD53 and CD44 expression and negatively with CD11b, CD18, CD35, CD67, and CD69 expression. Additionally, increased levels of soluble vascular cell adhesion molecules were detected in these patients, suggesting endothelial cell activation. In conclusion, we believe that the decreased expression of CD43 on the neutrophils of MDS patients is associated with activation of these cells and is probably due to cleavage of the molecule from the cell surface and that the same mechanism is possibly responsible for the parallel down-regulation of CD44 and CD53.

Abstract
CD43, one of the most abundant glycoproteins on the T cell surface, has been implicated in selection and maturation of thymocytes and migration, adhesion, and activation of mature T cells. The adapter molecule Cbl has been shown to be a negative regulator of Ras. Furthermore, it may also regulate intracellular signaling through the formation of several multi-molecular complexes. Here we investigated the role of Cbl in the CD43-mediated signaling pathway in human T cells. Unlike T cell receptor signaling, the interaction of the adapter protein Cbl with Vav and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, resulting from CD43-specific signals, is independent of Cbl tyrosine phosphorylation, suggesting an alternative mechanism of interaction. CD43 signals induced a Cbl serine phosphorylation-dependent interaction with the tau-isoform of 14-3-3. protein. Protein kinase C-mediated Cbl serine phosphorylation was required for this interaction, because the PKC inhibitor RO-31-8220 prevented it, as well as 14-3-3 dimerization. Moreover, mutation of Cbl serine residues 619, 623, 639, and 642 abolished the interaction between Cbl and 14-3-3. Overexpression of Cbl in Jurkat cells inhibited the CD43-dependent activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway and AP-1 transcriptional activity, confirming nevertheless a negative role for Cbl in T cell signaling. However, under normal conditions, PKC activation resulting from CD43 engagement was required to activate the MAPK pathway, suggesting that phosphorylation of Cbl on serine residues by PKC and its association with 14-3-3 molecules may play a role in preventing the Cbl inhibitory effect on the Ras-MAPK pathway. These data suggest that by inducing its phosphorylation on serine residues, CD43-mediated signals may regulate the molecular associations and functions of the Cbl adapter protein.

Abstract
The contribution of carbohydrate structure to biomolecular, cellular, and organismal function is well-established, but has not yet received the attention it deserves, perhaps due to the complexity of the structures involved and to a lack of simple experimental methods for relating structure and function. In particular, beta1,6 GlcNAc branching plays a key functional role in processes ranging from inflammation and immune system function to tumor cell metastasis. For instance, synthesis of the core 2 beta1,6 branched structure in the mucin glycan chain by C2GnT enables the expression of functional structures at the termini of polylactosamine chains, such as blood group antigens and sialyl Lewis x. Also, IGnT can create multiple branches on the polylactosamine chain, which may serve as a mechanism for amplifying the functional potency of cell surface glycoproteins and glycolipids. The family of enzymes which creates beta1,6 branched structure in mucin glycans is proving to be quite complex, since multiple isoforms appear to exist for these enzymes, and some of the enzymes are adept at forming more than one type of beta1,6 branched structure, as in the case of C2GnT-M. Furthermore, the enzymes do not appear to be restricted to acting on mucin-type acceptor structures, but are able to act on glycolipid structures as well. Much remains to be learned regarding the specific biological niche filled by each of these enzymes and how their activities complement one another, as well as the manner in which the activities of these enzymes are regulated in the cell.

Abstract
AbstractConflicting findings regarding proadhesion and antiadhesion in cell-to-cell interactions were previously reported for CD43. We examined possible differences in the role of the 130-kd glycoform and the 115-kd glycoform of CD43 in cellular adhesion in vitro. We generated a monoclonal antibody (MFT3) that discriminates between helper and nonhelper murine T-cell clones. Characterization of MFT3 with use of biochemical analysis and complementary DNA (cDNA) transfection experiments showed that it is specific for the 130-kd glycoform of CD43. T-cell clones that expressed the 130-kd CD43 glycoform showed decreased homocytic aggregation and decreased adhesion to spleen cells, B-lymphoma cell lines, and fibroblastic cell lines compared with T-cell clones negative for the 130-kd glycoform. Expression of core 2 β-1, 6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (C2GnT) cDNA together with CD43 cDNA resulted in expression of both the 130-kd CD43 glycoform and the 115-kd CD43 glycoform in fibroblastic cell lines. Using these cell lines, we showed that the 130-kd glycoform but not the 115-kd glycoform of CD43 has an antiadhesive function in cellular interactions. Our findings suggest that the antiadhesive function of CD43 is primarily carried out by the 130-kd glycoform.

Abstract
In human cultured monocytic cells stimulated by cytokines, CD43 was demonstrated to exhibit a modification of sialylated epitopes (dys-sialylation) [Soler et al: Leukoc Biol 1997;61:609-618]. Therefore, we chose to investigate CD43 behavior on patients who present pathological status implicating monocytes after renal graft (KTR). We performed flow cytometry after immune staining using monoclonal antibodies to CD43 sialic acid-dependent (L60) and -independent (L10) epitopes. Compared to normal controls, mean fluorescence intensity was never altered on lymphocytes. Conversely, on monocytes, we found different profiles with L60: 26% of patients having normal CD43 expression, 54% displayed decreased values and 20% had a double population of monocytes, the major one being normal and the minor one with a very low staining. Decreased values were more frequent among KTR during the first 3 months following transplantation. L10 immunostaining was not altered on monocytes in patients with low values of CD43 staining by L60, confirming that the mechanism involved was a CD43 dys-sialylation. We investigated a possible role of cyclosporin (CsA) on human monocytic (THP-1) and lymphoid (Jurkat) cell lines. CsA decreases CD43 expression in monocytic and not in lymphoid cell lines and could be responsible for the specific dys-sialylation of KTR monocytes. Whatever, CD43 dys-sialylation might lead to functional abnormalities of monocytes in KTR, possibly involving the adhesion process.

Abstract
CD43 is expressed on most hematopoetic cells and has been shown to regulate the activation and adhesion of T cells. We have cloned a serine/threonine kinase that can interact with the cytoplasmic domain of CD43. This protein is expressed in multiple tissues, including lymphoid cells. Analysis of the subcellular localization reveals it to be present in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm of the cell. The identification of this protein suggests that CD43 may mediate its biologic effects through activation of a kinase cascade, resulting in the regulation of cell growth.

Abstract
Although numerous reports document a role for CD43 in T cell signaling, the direct participation of this molecule in cell activation has been questioned. In this study we show that CD43 ligation on human normal peripheral T cells was sufficient to induce interleukin-2, CD69, and CD40-L gene expression, without requiring signals provided by additional receptor molecules. This response was partially inhibited by cyclosporin A and staurosporine, suggesting the participation of both the Ca(2+) and the protein kinase C pathways in CD43 signaling. Consistent with the transient CD43-dependent intracellular Ca(2+) peaks reported by others, signals generated through the CD43 molecule resulted in the induction of NF-AT DNA binding activity. CD43-dependent signals resulted also in AP-1 and NFkappaB activation, probably as a result of protein kinase C involvement. AP-1 complexes bound to the AP-1 sequence contained c-Jun, and those bound to the NF-AT-AP-1 composite site contained c-Jun and Fos. NFkappaB complexes containing p65 could be found as early as 1 h after CD43 cross-linking, suggesting that CD43 participates in early events of T cell activation. The induction of the interleukin-2, CD69, and CD-40L genes and the participation of AP-1, NF-AT, and NFkappaB in the CD43-mediated signaling cascade implicate an important role for this molecule in the regulation of gene expression and cell function.

Abstract
CD43 is a leukocyte-specific surface molecule which plays an important role both in adhesion and signal transduction. We have identified a site spanning nucleotides +18 to +39 within the human CD43 gene promoter which in vitro is hypersensitive to cleavage by nuclease S1. Repeats of this region are sufficient to activate expression of a heterologous promoter in CD43-positive cell lines. Two nuclear factors, PyRo1 and PyRo2, interact with the hypersensitive site. PyRo1 is a single-stranded DNA-binding protein which binds the pyrimidine-rich sense strand. Mutation analysis demonstrates that the motif TCCCCT is critical for PyRo1 interaction. Replacement of this motif with the sequence CATATA abolishes PyRo1 binding and reduces expression of the CD43 promoter by 35% in Jurkat T lymphocytic cells and by 52% in the pre-erythroid/pre-megakaryocytic cell line K562. However, this same replacement failed to affect expression in U937 monocytic cells or in CEM T lymphocytic cells. PyRo1, therefore, exhibits cell-specific differences in its functional activity. Further analysis demonstrated that PyRo1 not only interacts with the CD43 gene promoter but also motifs present within the promoters of the CD11a, CD11b, CD11c and CD11d genes. These genes encode the alpha subunits of the beta2 integrin family of leukocyte adhesion receptors. Deletion of the PyRo1 binding site within the CD11c gene reduced promoter activity in T lymphocytic cells by 47%. However, consistent with our analysis of the CD43 gene, the effect of this same deletion within U937 monocytic cells was less severe. That PyRo1 binds preferentially to single-stranded DNA and sequences within the CD43 and CD11 gene promoters suggests that expression of these genes is influenced by DNA secondary structure.

Abstract
In a screen designed to identify genes that regulate T cell receptor (TCR)/CD3-mediated apoptosis, we found that high level expression of CD43 protected T cell hybridomas from activation-induced cell death. The protection appears to result from its capacity to block Fas-mediated death signals rather than from inhibition of the upregulation of Fas and/or Fas ligand after T cell stimulation. We found that peripheral CD4(+) T cells can be divided into two subsets based on the level of CD43 surface expression. The CD4(+)CD43(low) subset exhibits a naive T cell phenotype, being CD62L(high)CD45RB(high)CD44(low), whereas CD4(+)CD43(high) cells exhibit a memory phenotype, being CD62L(low)CD45RB(low)CD44(high). Recent studies have demonstrated that engagement of TCR and Fas induces naive CD4(+) T cells to undergo apoptosis, and the same treatment enhances the proliferation of memory CD4(+) T cells. We confirm here that peripheral CD4(+)CD43(high) T cells are resistant to TCR/CD3-mediated cell death. These results suggest that the expression levels of CD43 on naive and memory CD4(+) T cells determine their susceptibility to Fas-dependent cell death and that high level expression of CD43 may be used as a marker to define CD4(+) memory T cells. Expression of CD43 provides a novel mechanism by which tumor cells expressing abnormally high levels of CD43 may escape Fas-mediated killing.

Abstract
Mucin-type O-glycans on leukocytes acquire functions once they contain core 2 branches, which can be synthesized by core 2 beta1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (C2GnT). Recently, understanding the roles of mucin-type O-glycans has been significantly advanced by generating transgenic mice overexpressing C2GnT or knockout mice defective in C2GnT. This review article summarizes previous results implicating the roles of mucin-type O-glycans and the most recent studies to test such a hypothesis. These results, taken together, demonstrate that mucin-type O-glycans either facilitate or attenuate cell adhesion depending on the structures of non-reducing termini.
