Abstract
Intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is frequently overexpressed in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and associated with poor prognosis. However, the mechanism underlying the negative effects of neoplastic ICAM-1 remains obscure. Herein, we demonstrate that the survival of NSCLC cells but not normal human bronchial epithelial cells requires an anti-apoptosis signal triggered by fibrinogen γ chain (FGG)-ICAM-1 interaction. ICAM-1-FGG ligation preserves the tyrosine phosphorylation of ICAM-1 cytoplasmic domain and its association with SHP-2, and subsequently promotes Akt and ERK1/2 activation but suppresses JNK and p38 activation. Abolishing ICAM-1-FGG interaction induces NSCLC cell death by activating caspase-9/3 and significantly inhibits tumor development in a mouse xenograft model. Finally, we developed a monoclonal antibody against ICAM-1-FGG binding motif, which blocks ICAM-1‒FGG interaction and effectively suppresses NSCLC cell survival in vitro and tumor growth in vivo. Thus, suppressing ICAM-1-FGG axis provides a potential strategy for NSCLC targeted therapy.

Abstract
A bidirectional association exists between metastatic dissemination and the hypercoagulable state associated with many types of cancer. As such, clinical studies have provided evidence that markers associated with elevated levels of coagulation and fibrinolysis correlate with decreased patient survival. However, elucidating the mechanisms underpinning the effects of different components of the coagulation system on metastasis formation is challenging both in animal models and 2D models lacking the complex cellular interactions necessary to model both thrombosis and metastasis. Here, an in vitro, 3D, microvascular model for observing the formation of fibrin thrombi is described, which is in turn used to study how different aspects of the hypercoagulable state associated with cancer affect the endothelium. Using this platform, cancer cells expressing ICAM-1 are shown to form a fibrinogen-dependent bridge and transmigrate through the endothelium more effectively. Cancer cells are also demonstrated to interact with fibrin thrombi, using them to adhere, spread, and enhance their extravasation efficiency. Finally, thrombin is also shown to enhance cancer cell extravasation. This system presents a physiologically relevant model of fibrin clot formation in the human microvasculature, enabling in-depth investigation of the cellular interactions between cancer cells and the coagulation system affecting cancer cell extravasation.

Abstract
Acto-myosin contractility in carcinoma-associated fibroblasts leads to assembly of the tumor extracellular matrix. The pro-inflammatory cytokine LIF governs fibroblast activation in cancer by regulating the myosin light chain 2 activity. So far, however, how LIF mediates cytoskeleton contractility remains unknown. Using phenotypic screening assays based on knock-down of LIF-dependent genes in fibroblasts, we identified the glycoprotein ICAM-1 as a crucial regulator of stroma fibroblast proinvasive matrix remodeling. We demonstrate that the membrane-bound ICAM-1 isoform is necessary and sufficient to promote inflammation-dependent extracellular matrix contraction, which favors cancer cell invasion. Indeed, ICAM-1 mediates generation of acto-myosin contractility downstream of the Src kinases in stromal fibroblasts. Moreover, acto-myosin contractility regulates ICAM-1 expression by establishing a positive feedback signaling. Thus, targeting stromal ICAM-1 might constitute a possible therapeutic mean to counteract tumor cell invasion and dissemination.

Abstract
In recent years inherited variations in platelet proteins have emerged as potential risk factors that could predispose individuals to arterial thrombosis. Although many studies have examined the association of platelet gene polymorphisms with particular disease states, the underlying mechanisms by which most of these polymorphisms contribute to the pathophysiology of thrombosis have remained largely unexplored. This review will focus on the cellular and molecular features by which these genetic changes affect platelet physiology. Although many genes have been investigated in this regard, only the genes encoding integrins β3 and α2, and the platelet Fc receptor, FcγRIIA, have been studied in any depth. In some cases (such as integrin α2), evidence supports a quantitative trait locus. For other genes, nonsynonymous nucleotide substitutions lead to structural and functional consequences. A large portion of this review will focus on the widely studied Leu33Pro (PIA) polymorphism of integrin β3, and will consider the potential mechanisms by which the Pro33 polymorphism could induce a prothrombotic risk. A detailed understanding of how polymorphisms modulate platelet physiology will be important for understanding individual differences in response to antiplatelet therapy.

Abstract
Testing of platelet function is central to the cardiovascular phenotyping of genetically modified mice. Traditional platelet function tests have been developed primarily for testing human samples and the volumes required make them highly unsuitable for the testing of mouse platelets. This limits research in this area. To address this problem, we have developed a miniaturized whole blood aggregometry assay, based on a readily accessible 96-well plate format coupled with quantification of single platelet depletion by flow cytometric analysis. Using this approach, we observed a concentration-dependent loss of single platelets in blood exposed to arachidonic acid, collagen, U46619 or protease activated receptor 4 activating peptide. This loss was sensitive to well-established antiplatelet agents and genetic manipulation of platelet activation pathways. Observations were more deeply analyzed by flow cytometric imaging, confocal imaging, and measurement of platelet releasates. Phenotypic analysis of the reactivity of platelets taken from mice lacking intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 identified a marked decrease in fibrinogen-dependent platelet-monocyte interactions, especially under inflammatory conditions. Such findings exemplify the value of screening platelet phenotypes of genetically modified mice and shed further light upon the roles and interactions of platelets in inflammation.

Abstract
Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on activated endothelium and many other cells, represents a suitable target for delivery of drug nanocarriers (NCs) to disease areas. Numerous works have shown efficient targeting and intracellular transport of ICAM-1-targeted NCs, rendering significant therapeutic potential. This is the case for enzyme delivery for treatment of multitissue lysosomal storage disorders. However, those studies used formulations targeted to ICAM-1 by antibodies (anti-ICAM NCs). This poses an obstacle to preclinical evaluation of long-term treatment of such chronic maladies, caused by immunogenicity of foreign proteins administered to animals, compelling development of alternative strategies. In this work, we used radioisotope tracing, fluorescence and electron microscopy, and in vitro, cell cultures, and mouse models to evaluate polymer nanocarriers targeted to ICAM-1 by a 17-mer linear peptide derived from the ICAM-1-binding sequence of fibrinogen (γ3). Our results show that γ3 NCs target ICAM-1 with efficiency and specificity similar to that of anti-ICAM NCs, determined by using immobilized ICAM-1, native ICAM-1 expressed on endothelial cell cultures, and intravenous administration in mice. Furthermore, γ3 NCs are internalized by cells in culture and in vivo and transported to lysosomes via cell adhesion molecule-mediated endocytosis, without apparent disruption of cell junctions, similar to anti-ICAM counterparts. The degree of conservation of fibrinogen γ3 sequence and its cognate site on ICAM-1 among species (e.g., mouse, chimpanzee, and humans) reflects the interspecies targeting found for γ3 NCs, providing an avenue for exploring the translation of ICAM-1-targeting platforms in the preclinical and, perhaps, future clinical realm.

Abstract
Ataxia-telangiectasia is a multifaceted syndrome caused by null mutations in the ATM gene, which encodes the protein kinase ATM, a key participant in the DNA damage response. Retinal neurons are highly susceptible to DNA damage because they are terminally differentiated and have the highest metabolic activity in the central nervous system. In this study, we characterized the retina in young and aged Atm-deficient mice (Atm(-/-)). At 2 months of age, angiography revealed faint retinal vasculature in Atm(-/-) animals relative to wild-type controls. This finding was accompanied by increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor protein and mRNA. Fibrinogen, generally absent from wild-type retinal tissue, was evident in Atm(-/-) retinas, whereas mRNA of the tight junction protein occludin was significantly decreased. Immunohistochemistry labeling for occludin in 6-month-old mice showed that this decrease persists in advanced stages of the disease. Concurrently, we noticed vascular leakage in Atm(-/-) retinas. Labeling for glial fibrillary acidic protein demonstrated morphological alterations in glial cells in Atm(-/-) retinas. Electroretinographic examination revealed amplitude aberrations in 2-month-old Atm(-/-) mice, which progressed to significant functional deficits in the older mice. These results suggest that impaired vascularization and astrocyte-endothelial cell interactions in the central nervous system play an important role in the etiology of ataxia-telangiectasia and that vascular abnormalities may underlie or aggravate neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Fibrinogen (Fg) is a high molecular weight plasma adhesion protein and a biomarker of inflammation. Many cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders are accompanied by increased blood content of Fg. Increased levels of Fg result in changes in blood rheological properties such as increases in plasma viscosity, erythrocyte aggregation, platelet thrombogenesis, alterations in vascular reactivity and compromises in endothelial layer integrity. These alterations exacerbate the complications in peripheral blood circulation during cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and stroke. In addition to affecting blood viscosity by altering plasma viscosity and erythrocyte aggregation, growing experimental evidence suggests that Fg alters vascular reactivity and impairs endothelial cell layer integrity by binding to its endothelial cell membrane receptors and activating signalling mechanisms. The purpose of this review is to discuss experimental data, which demonstrate the effects of Fg causing vascular dysfunction and to offer possible mechanisms for these effects, which could exacerbate microcirculatory complications during cardiovascular diseases accompanied by increased Fg content.

Abstract
We previously showed that an elevated content of fibrinogen (Fg) increased formation of filamentous actin and enhanced endothelial layer permeability. In the present work we tested the hypothesis that Fg binding to endothelial cells (ECs) alters expression of actin-associated endothelial tight junction proteins (TJP). Rat cardiac microvascular ECs were grown in gold plated chambers of an electrical cell-substrate impedance system, 8-well chambered, or in 12-well plates. Confluent ECs were treated with Fg (2 or 4 mg/ml), Fg (4 mg/ml) with mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK) kinase inhibitors (PD98059 or U0126), Fg (4 mg/ml) with anti-ICAM-1 antibody or BQ788 (endothelin type B receptor blocker), endothelin-1, endothelin-1 with BQ788, or medium alone for 24 h. Fg induced a dose-dependent decrease in EC junction integrity as determined by transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER). Western blot analysis and RT-PCR data showed that the higher dose of Fg decreased the contents of TJPs, occludin, zona occluden-1 (ZO-1), and zona occluden-2 (ZO-2) in ECs. Fg-induced decreases in contents of the TJPs were blocked by PD98059, U0126, or anti-ICAM-1 antibody. While BQ788 inhibited endothelin-1-induced decrease in TEER, it did not affect Fg-induced decrease in TEER. These data suggest that Fg increases EC layer permeability via the MEK kinase signaling pathway by affecting occludin, ZO-1, and ZO-2, TJPs, which are bound to actin filaments. Therefore, increased binding of Fg to its major EC receptor, ICAM-1, during cardiovascular diseases may increase microvascular permeability by altering the content and possibly subcellular localization of endothelial TJPs.

Abstract
Mucous hypersecretion is a serious feature of chronic airway diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cystic fibrosis. Although mucins are produced via activation of an EGF receptor (EGFR) signaling cascade, the mechanisms leading to exaggerated mucin production in mucous hypersecretory diseases are unknown. Because expression of ICAM-1 and of the ICAM-1 ligand fibrinogen is increased in the airways of subjects with mucous hypersecretory diseases, we hypothesized that fibrinogen binding to ICAM-1 could increase EGFR-dependent mucin production in human airway (NCI-H292) epithelial cells. Consistent with this hypothesis, we found that an ICAM-1 neutralizing antibody and an ICAM-1(8-22) peptide that binds fibrinogen decreased mucin production induced by the EGFR ligand transforming growth factor (TGF)-alpha dose-dependently. Exogenous fibrinogen and a fibrinogen(117-133) peptide that binds ICAM-1 rescued mucin production in cells treated with the ICAM-1(8-22) peptide. Surprisingly, the ICAM-1(8-22) peptide increased EGFR phosphotyrosine and phospho-ERK1/2 in cells treated with TGF-alpha. The ICAM-1(8-22) peptide-induced increases in EGFR phosphotyrosine and phospho-ERK1/2 were prevented by exogenous fibrinogen, by the fibrinogen(117-133) peptide, and by selective inhibitors of phospholipase C (PLC), protein kinase C (PKC)-alpha/beta, and metalloproteases. These results suggest that fibrinogen binding to ICAM-1 promotes mucin production by decreasing TGF-alpha-induced EGFR and ERK1/2 activation and that the fibrinogen-ICAM-1-dependent decrease in EGFR and ERK1/2 activation occurs via inhibition of an early positive feedback pathway involving PLC- and PKC-alpha/beta-dependent metalloprotease activation and subsequent metalloprotease-dependent EGFR reactivation.

Abstract
Many cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders are accompanied by an increased blood content of fibrinogen (Fg), a high molecular weight plasma adhesion protein. Fg is a biomarker of inflammation and its degradation products have been associated with microvascular leakage. We tested the hypothesis that at pathologically high levels, Fg increases endothelial cell (EC) permeability through extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) signaling and by inducing F-actin formation. In cultured ECs, Fg binding to intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and to alpha(5)beta(1) integrin, caused phosphorylation of ERK. Subsequently, F-actin formation increased and coincided with formation of gaps between ECs, which corresponded with increased permeability of ECs to albumin. Our data suggest that formation of F-actin and gaps may be the mechanism for increased albumin leakage through the EC monolayer. The present study indicates that elevated un-degraded Fg may be a factor causing microvascular permeability that typically accompanies cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Soluble fibrin (sFn) is a marker for disseminated intravascular coagulation and may have prognostic significance, especially in metastasis. However, a role for sFn in the etiology of metastatic cancer growth has not been extensively studied. We have reported that sFn cross-linked platelet binding to tumor cells via the major platelet fibrin receptor alphaIIb beta3, and tumor cell CD54 (ICAM-1), which is the receptor for two of the leukocyte beta2 integrins (alphaL beta2 and aM beta2). We hypothesized that sFn may also affect leukocyte adherence, recognition, and killing of tumor cells. Furthermore, in a rat experimental metastasis model sFn pre-treatment of tumor cells enhanced metastasis by over 60% compared to untreated cells. Other studies have shown that fibrin(ogen) binds to the monocyte integrin alphaM beta2. This study therefore sought to investigate the effect of sFn on beta2 integrin mediated monocyte adherence and killing of tumor cells. METHODS The role of sFn in monocyte adherence and cytotoxicity against tumor cells was initially studied using static microplate adherence and cytotoxicity assays, and under physiologically relevant flow conditions in a microscope perfusion incubator system. Blocking studies were performed using monoclonal antibodies specific for beta2 integrins and CD54, and specific peptides which inhibit sFn binding to these receptors. RESULTS Enhancement of monocyte/tumor cell adherence was observed when only one cell type was bound to sFn, but profound inhibition was observed when sFn was bound to both monocytes and tumor cells. This effect was also reflected in the pattern of monocyte cytotoxicity. Studies using monoclonal blocking antibodies and specific blocking peptides (which did not affect normal coagulation) showed that the predominant mechanism of fibrin inhibition is via its binding to alphaM beta2 on monocytes, and to CD54 on both leukocytes and tumor cells. CONCLUSION sFn inhibits monocyte adherence and cytotoxicity of tumor cells by blocking alphaL beta2 and alphaM beta2 binding to tumor cell CD54. These results demonstrate that sFn is immunosuppressive and may be directly involved in the etiology of metastasis. Use of specific peptides also inhibited this effect without affecting coagulation, suggesting their possible use as novel therapeutic agents in cancer metastasis.

Abstract
ICAM-1, a membrane-bound receptor, is released as soluble ICAM-1 in inflammatory diseases. To delineate mechanisms regulating ICAM-1 cleavage, studies were performed in endothelial cells (EC), human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293 cells transfected with wild-type (WT) ICAM-1, and ICAM-1 containing single tyrosine-to-alanine substitutions (Y474A, Y476A, and Y485A) in the cytoplasmic region. Tyrosine residues at 474 and 485 become phosphorylated upon ICAM-1 ligation and associate with signaling modules. Cleavage was assessed by using an antibody against the cytoplasmic tail of ICAM-1, which recognizes intact ICAM-1 and the 7-kDa membrane-bound fragment remaining after cleavage. Cleavage in HEK-293 WT cells was accelerated by phorbol ester PMA, whereas in EC it was induced by tumor necrosis factor-alpha. In both cell types, a 7-kDa ICAM-1 remnant was detected. Tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors dephostatin and sodium orthovanadate augmented cleavage. PD-98059 (MEK kinase inhibitor), geldanamycin and PP2 (Src kinase inhibitors), and wortmannin (phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor) dose-dependently inhibited cleavage in both cell types. SB-203580 (p38 inhibitor) was more effective in EC, and D609 (PLC inhibitor) mostly affected cleavage in HEK-293 cells. Cleavage was drastically decreased in Y474A and Y485A, whereas it was marginally reduced in Y476A. Surprisingly, phosphorylation was not detectable on the 7-kDa fragment of ICAM-1. These results implicate distinct pathways in the cleavage process and suggest a preferred signal transmission route for ICAM-1 shedding in the two cell systems tested. Tyrosine residues Y474 and Y485 within the cytoplasmic sequence of ICAM-1 regulate the cleavage process.

Abstract
Resting platelet adhesion to inflammatory vascular endothelium is thought to play a causal role in secondary thrombus formation or microcirculatory disturbance after vessel occlusion. However, though adhesion receptors involved in platelet-matrix interactions have been extensively studied, the molecular mechanisms involved in platelet-endothelium interactions are incompletely characterized and have been mainly studied under static conditions. Using human platelets or platelets from wild-type and CD47-/- mice in whole blood, we demonstrated that at low shear rate, CD47 expressed on human and mouse platelets significantly contributes to platelet adhesion on tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-stimulated vascular endothelial cells. Using the CD47 agonist peptide 4N1K and blocking monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), we showed that CD47 binds the cell-binding domain (CBD) of endothelial thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), inducing activation of the platelet alphaIIbbeta3 integrin that in turn becomes able to link the endothelial receptors intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and alphavbeta3. Platelet CD36 and GPIbalpha are also involved because platelet incubation with blocking mAbs directed against each of these 2 receptors significantly decreased platelet arrest. Given that anti-CD47 treatment of platelets did not further decrease the adhesion of anti-CD36-treated platelets and CD36 is a TSP-1 receptor, it appears that CD36/TSP-1 interaction could trigger the CD47-dependent pathway. Overall, CD47 antagonists may be potentially useful to inhibit platelet adhesion on inflamed endothelium.

Abstract
The binding of plasma protein fibrinogen (Fg) to intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) on endothelial cells mediates the attachment of leukocytes and platelets that may result in vascular occlusion. Fg:ICAM-1 interactions elicit an array of effects that could have implications in vascular pathology and inflammation. ICAM-1 expression is regulated during inflammation and upon Fg binding. The mechanistic model presented provides a framework to delineate the consequences of Fg binding to ICAM-1.

Abstract
A congenital dysfibrinogenemia, fibrinogen(Nieuwegein), was discovered in a young man without any thromboembolic complications or bleeding. A homozygous insertion of a single nucleotide (C) in codon Aalpha 453 (Pro) introduced a stop codon at position 454, which resulted in the deletion of the carboxyl-terminal segment Aalpha 454-610. The ensuing unpaired cysteine at Aalpha 442 generated fibrinogen-albumin complexes of different molecular weights. The molecular abnormalities of fibrinogen(Nieuwegein) led to a delayed clotting and a fibrin network with a low turbidity. Electron microscopy confirmed that thin fibrin bundles were organized in a fine network. The use of fibrinogen(Nieuwegein)-derived fibrin (fibrin(Nieuwegein)) in an in vitro angiogenesis model resulted in a strong reduction of tube formation. The ingrowth of human microvascular endothelial cells (hMVEC) was independent of alpha(v)beta(3), indicating that the reduced ingrowth is not due to the absence of the RGD-adhesion site at position Aalpha 572-574. Rather, the altered structure of fibrin(Nieuwegein) is the cause, since partial normalization of the fibrin network by lowering the pH during polymerization resulted in an increased tube formation. Whereas factor XIIIa further decreased the ingrowth of hMVEC in fibrin(Nieuwegein), tissue transglutaminase (TG), which is released in areas of vessel injury, did not. This is in line with the absence of the cross-linking site for TG in the alpha-chains of fibrinogen(Nieuwegein). In conclusion, this newly discovered congenital dysfibrinogenemia has a delayed clotting time and leads to the formation of an altered fibrin structure, which could not be cross-linked by TG and which is less supportive for ingrowth of endothelial cells.

Abstract
It has long been recognized that in most inflamed arthritic joints the coagulation system is activated, leading to the local generation of fibrin, and it has long been hypothesized that the local fibrin deposition promotes inflammation and tissue destruction. However, only recently has the direct effect of fibrin on the inflammatory process been seriously investigated, and specific roles assigned to fibrin or its products as mediators of the inflammatory process. Although fibrin and/or fibrinogen (fibrin(ogen)) is abundantly present in inflamed tissues and joints rich in fibroblastic cells, no significant data on fibrin(ogen)-induced gene expression by fibroblasts have been published. We now demonstrate that coculture of human synovial fibroblasts with fibrin(ogen) results in the up-regulation of ICAM-1 as well as increased production of the chemokines IL-8 and growth-related oncogene-alpha. Increased ICAM-1 expression was fibrin(ogen) dose-dependent and was demonstrated by ELISA, flow cytometry, and functional adhesion assays. Levels of ICAM-1 induced by fibrin(ogen) were comparable to those that could be induced by cytokine stimulation. Fibrin(ogen) stimulation of ICAM-1 could be suppressed by pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate, an inhibitor of NF-kappaB activation. Chemokine production was induced by fibrin(ogen) in cell culture supernatants >100-fold as compared with controls. Thus, through its activation of synovial fibroblasts, fibrin(ogen) deposition may promote the recruitment (via chemokines) and retention (via adhesion molecules) of lymphocytes within the arthritic joint.

Abstract
Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) binds to the plasma protein fibrinogen (Fg) to mediate leukocyte/endothelial cell interactions. In our studies, the ligation of Fg to ICAM-1 on tumor necrosis factor-alpha-stimulated endothelial cells resulted in the tyrosine phosphorylation of Src homology domain 2 (SH2)-containing phosphatase-2 (SHP-2). The ICAM-1 cytoplasmic sequence IKKYRLQ conforms poorly to the concensus immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motifs found in receptors that bind SHP-2. Nevertheless, the tyrosine phosphorylated sequence (IKKpYRLQ) bound specifically to the SH2 domain proximal to the NH(2)-terminal of SHP-2 (SHP-2-N) but not to the SH2 domain proximal on the COOH-terminal side (SHP-2-C). Phosphorylated ICAM-1 bound SHP-2-N. In immunoprecipitation experiments, SHP-2 associated with phosphorylated ICAM-1. Cells expressing truncated ICAM-1 that lacked the cytoplasmic sequence (ICAM-1(TR)) failed to associate with SHP-2. ICAM-1 containing the tyrosine to alanine substitution at position 485 (ICAM-1(Y485A)) associated weakly with SHP-2. Cells expressing ICAM-1(TR) and ICAM-1(Y485A) underwent apoptosis upon adhesion to Fg, whereas the wild type ICAM-1 maintained cell survival. These results indicate that ICAM-1 interactions with SHP-2 allow better cellular survival mediated through Fg-ICAM-1 ligation.

Abstract
We tested hypothesis that the interaction of fibrinogen (Fg) with intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) mediates cellular adhesion and cell proliferation. Our results demonstrate that Fg : ICAM-1 ligation mediates endothelial cell survival and has an anti-apoptotic effect via activation of the MAP kinase pathway. Fg : ICAM-1 ligation in endothelial cells treated with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)alpha resulted in the hyperphosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-1/2 (eightfold to 10-fold) at 5-30 min. The specificity of ERK-1/2 phosphorylation was verified using the recognition peptides Fg-gamma-(117-133) and ICAM-1(8-22). ERK-1/2 hyperphosphorylation was dependent on intact cytoskeleton, as treatment with cytochalasin B and nocodazole blocked this activity. The attachment of TNFalpha-treated endothelial cells to fibrinogen or Fg-gamma-(117-133) resulted in cell survival, as assessed by an annexin V binding assay. ICAM-1(8-22) blocked the survival process. The MEK-1 inhibitor PD 98059 blocked ERK-1/2 phosphorylation, and treatment of endothelial cells with PD 98059 resulted in apoptosis even upon Fg : ICAM-1 ligation. Cells transfected with dominant-negative ERK-1/2 underwent apoptosis upon Fg : ICAM-1 ligation. Cell survival factor A1 was specifically upregulated upon adhesion of TNFalpha-stimulated endothelial cells to Fg. A1 expression was blocked by ICAM-1(8-22) and PD 98059. The Fg : ICAM-1 endothelial cell survival pathway appears to be mediated via the activation and upregulation of ERK-1/2 and A1.

Abstract
alpha(V)beta(3), a broadly distributed member of the integrin family of adhesion receptors, has been implicated in a variety of physiological and pathophysiological events, including control of bone density, angiogenesis, apoptosis, tumor growth, and metastasis. Recently, it has been shown that activation of alpha(V)beta(3), its transition from a low- to a high-affinity/avidity state, influences its recognition of certain ligands. Bone sialoprotein (BSP) is recognized as an important ligand for alpha(V)beta(3) in processes ranging from bone formation to the homing of metastatic tumor cells. Here, the influence of alpha(V)beta(3) activation on the adhesion and migration of relevant cells to BSP has been examined. Stimulation of lymphoblastoid, osteoblastoid, and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) with PMA or Mn(2+) markedly enhanced alpha(V)beta(3)-dependent adhesion to BSP. alpha(V)beta(3)-mediated migration of HUVEC or osteoblastic cells to BSP was substantially enhanced by stimulation, demonstrating that alpha(V)beta(3) activation enhances both adhesive and migratory responses. However, adhesion and/or migration of certain tumor cell lines, including M21 melanoma and MDA MB435 and SKBR3 breast carcinoma cell lines, to BSP was constitutively high and was not augmented by alpha(V)beta(3)-activating stimuli. Inhibitors of the intracellular signaling molecules, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase with wortmannin, hsp90-dependent kinases with geldanamycin, and calpain with calpeptin, but not MAPKK with PD98059, reduced the high spontaneous adhesion and migration of the M21 cells to BSP, consistent with the constitutive activation of the receptor on these tumor cells. These results indicate that the activation state of alpha(V)beta(3) can regulate cell migration and adhesion to BSP and, by extension, to other ligands of this receptor. The constitutive activation of alpha(V)beta(3) on neoplastic cells may contribute to tumor growth and metastatic potential.

Abstract
The interaction of fibrinogen (Fg) with intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM) on B-lymphoid Raji cells results in mitogenesis (Gardiner, E. E., and D'Souza, S. E. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 15474-15480). Incubation of Raji with Fg resulted in the increased tyrosine phosphorylation of the receptor-associated tyrosine kinase, pp60(Src) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1 (ERK). The increase in ERK-1 phosphorylation was blocked by a peptide with sequence matching ICAM-1-(8-22) and corresponded to a decrease in ERK-1 enzymatic activity. 100 microM amounts of Fg peptide gamma-(117-133) caused an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of ERK-1. These results are consistent with our previous report wherein ICAM-1-(8-22) blocked Fg-induced mitogenesis and Fg-gamma-(117-133) induced proliferation in Raji. The specific inhibitor of MEK, PD98059 (25 microM), abrogated the increased phosphorylation of ERK-1 and blocked Raji mitogenesis by >50%. Inhibitors of pp60(Src), geldanamycin (62 nM), and herbimycin A (2.5 microM) blocked >50% of Raji proliferation. These results indicate that the proliferation induced by Fg interactions with ICAM-1 is mediated in part by receptor-associated tyrosine kinases and ERK-1, and that the recognition sequences within Fg and ICAM-1 participate in the signaling process.

Abstract
Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is expressed abnormally on the bile duct epithelium during the course of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), but the importance of ICAM-1 and its lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) receptor during the course of nonsuppurative destructive cholangitis (NSDC) has not been defined. To address this question, we defined the relationship between ICAM-1 on the intrahepatic bile duct epithelium and the evolution of NSDC lesions in a mouse graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) model. We also determined the effects of anti-ICAM-1 and anti-LFA-1 treatments on NSDC, intrahepatic lymphokine production, and the homing of lymphocytes to the livers of GVHD mice. ICAM-1 was initially detected on the bile duct epithelium and portal vein endothelium on day 7 of GVHD. There was a significant positive correlation between the intensity of ICAM-1 staining and histological bile duct damage (r =.58, P <.05) between day 3 and 28. Treatment with anti-ICAM-1 (but not anti-LFA-1) decreased both the mean grades of portal inflammation (P =.003) and NSDC (P =.002) lesions compared with control immunoglobulin G (IgG) treatments. Combined treatment with anti-ICAM-1 and anti-LFA-1 caused a further decrease in the amount of portal inflammation and bile duct damage compared with anti-ICAM-1, alone (P =.02). Anti-ICAM-1 treatment also decreased both the percentage of T cells and the production of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and IL-12 in the liver (P <.01), but had no effect on IL-4, IL-10, and interferon gamma. Neither anti-ICAM-1 nor anti-LFA-1 prevented lymphocytes from homing to the liver. These results indicate that both ICAM-1 and LFA-1 are important to the pathogenesis of NSDC.

Abstract
Regulation of vascular homeostasis depends upon collaboration between cells of the vessel wall and blood coagulation system. A direct interaction between integrin alphaVbeta3 on endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells and prothrombin, the pivotal proenzyme of the blood coagulation system, is demonstrated and activation of the integrin is required for receptor engagement. Evidence that prothrombin is a ligand for alphaVbeta3 on these cells include: (a) prothrombin binds to purified alphaVbeta3 via a RGD recognition specificity; (b) prothrombin supports alphaVbeta3-mediated adhesion of stimulated endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells; and (c) endothelial cells, either in suspension and in a monolayer, recognize soluble prothrombin via alphaVbeta3. alphaVbeta3-mediated cell adhesion to prothrombin, but not to fibrinogen, required activation of the receptor. Thus, the functionality of the alphaVbeta3 receptor is ligand defined, and prothrombin and fibrinogen represent activation- dependent and activation-independent ligands. Activation of alphaVbeta3 could be induced not only by model agonists, PMA and Mn2+, but also by a physiologically relevant agonist, ADP. Inhibition of protein kinase C and calpain prevented activation of alphaVbeta3 on vascular cells, suggesting that these molecules are involved in the inside-out signaling events that activate the integrin. The capacity of alphaVbeta3 to interact with prothrombin may play a significant role in the maintenance of hemostasis; and, at a general level, ligand selection by alphaVbeta3 may be controlled by the activation state of this integrin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Beside the major effect of acute thrombus formation, little is known about the interaction of platelets with the coronary endothelium in an ischaemia-reperfusion situation. The present study was designed to investigate, separately, the consequences of platelet adhesion and degranulation during myocardial reperfusion. METHODS Isolated guinea pig hearts perfused with Krebs-Henseleit buffer and performing pressure-volume work were used. We infringed myocardial function by imposing ischaemia (20 min of low-flow perfusion with 1 ml/min and 10 min of global ischaemia) and reperfusion (15 min with 5 ml/min). During low-flow perfusion, the coronary endothelium was stimulated by thrombin before and during infusion of a bolus: 10(8) washed human platelets +/- the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) analogon lamifiban, the supernatant of 10(8) thrombin-stimulated platelets, fibrinogen (2 microM), lamifiban (2 microM) or Tyrode's solution (control group). The parameter external heart work (EHW), determined pre- and postischaemically, served as criterion for recovery of myocardial function. Additionally, the formation of capillary transudate was measured during the reperfusion phase to assess coronary permeability. Coronary perfusion pressure was monitored continuously and myocardial production of lactate and consumption of pyruvate were measured. Electron microscopy of hearts was performed after platelet application to verify platelet adhesion in the coronary system. RESULTS Recovery of EHW by hearts without platelet application was 64 +/- 3% and was significantly reduced to 49 +/- 5% by platelet infusion (n = 8 each). Infusion of supernatant of thrombin-stimulated platelets did not impair recovery of heart work. In the reperfusion phase (6th-10th min), hearts that either had received platelets or supernatant of platelets exhibited a significantly reduced production of capillary transudate (70 microliters/min vs. 180 microliters/min for the controls). Intracoronary bolus application of fibrinogen or lamifiban also reduced coronary leak. Coronary perfusion pressure and metabolic parameters were not statistically different between the groups at any time. CONCLUSIONS Platelet adhesion to the coronary endothelium in a situation of myocardial ischaemia impairs cardiac recovery, whereas constituents released by platelets may have beneficial effects on the integrity of the coronary endothelium. In particular, fibrinogen seems to contribute to the permeability reducing effect, possibly by interaction with endothelial receptors recognising the RGD sequence.

Abstract
Although it has been reported that activated platelets can adhere to intact endothelium, the receptors involved have not been fully characterized. Also, it is not clear whether activated platelets bind primarily to matrix proteins at sites of endothelial cell denudation or directly to endothelial cells. Thus, this study was designed to further clarify the mechanisms of activated platelet adhesion to endothelium. Unstimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) monolayers were incubated with washed, stained, and thrombin-activated human platelets. To exclude matrix involvement, HUVEC were harvested mechanically and platelet binding was measured by flow cytometry. Before the adhesion assay, platelets or HUVEC were treated with different receptor antagonists. Whereas blockade of platelet beta1 integrins, GPIbalpha, GPIV, P-selectin, and platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM)-1 did not reduce platelet adhesion to HUVEC, blockade of platelet GPIIbIIIa by antibodies or Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptides markedly decreased adhesion. Moreover, when platelets were treated with blocking antibodies to GPIIbIIIa-binding adhesive proteins, including fibrinogen and fibronectin, and von Willebrand factor (vWF), platelet binding was also reduced markedly. Addition of fibrinogen, fibronectin, or vWF further increased platelet adhesion, indicating that both endogenous platelet-exposed and exogenous adhesive proteins can participate in the binding process. Evaluation of the HUVEC receptors revealed predominant involvement of intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 and alphavbeta3 integrin. Blockade of these two receptors by antibodies decreased platelet binding significantly. Also, there was evidence that a component of platelet adhesion was mediated by endothelial GPIbalpha. Blockade of beta1 integrins, E-selectin, P-selectin, PECAM-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1 and different matrix proteins on HUVEC did not affect platelet adhesion. In conclusion, we show that activated platelet binding to HUVEC monolayers is mediated by a GPIIbIIIa-dependent bridging mechanism involving platelet-bound adhesive proteins and the endothelial cell receptors ICAM-1, alphavbeta3 integrin, and, to a lesser extent, GPIbalpha.

Abstract
Leukocyte integrins and intercellular adhesion molecules play pivotal roles in leukocyte adhesion to target cells and extracellular matrices. Recently, novel intercellular adhesion molecules have been identified, and much information has been obtained on the structures and binding sites of leukocyte integrins and of intercellular adhesion molecules. Furthermore, much progress has been made in the study of integrin activation and the role of leukocyte adhesion molecules in disease.

Abstract
Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is a cell surface ligand for alphaLbeta2 and alphaMbeta2 integrins and has a key role in leukocyte adhesion to the vascular endothelium. The plasma protein fibrinogen has also been shown to interact with ICAM-1. We have investigated the effect of fibrinogen binding to ICAM-1-expressing cells on cell proliferation. The inclusion of 200-800 nM fibrinogen but not fibronectin to the culture medium of Raji induced a 2-4-fold increase in [3H]thymidine incorporation after 8 h. Cell proliferation in cultures containing fibrinogen was also confirmed by direct cell counting. The proliferative response in Raji was abrogated by an anti-ICAM-1 mAb 84H10 which maps to the first Ig domain of ICAM-1. A purified truncated form of ICAM-1 containing the first two Ig-like domains and a peptide with amino acid sequence corresponding to ICAM-1 (8-22) was also able to block the proliferative action of fibrinogen on Raji. 200 nM fibrinogen induced a 3-fold increase in [3H]thymidine incorporation by 293 cells transfected with ICAM-1 cDNA but not control non-transfected 293 cells. Comparable mitogenic effects were achieved with fibrinogen fragments X and D100, and with a synthetic peptide with an amino acid sequence matching fibrinogen gamma chain (117-133). These results indicate that interaction between discrete sequences within ICAM-1 and fibrinogen result in cellular proliferation.
