Abstract
BACKGROUND The Myristoylated Alanine-Rich C-kinase Substrate (MARCKS) and MARCKS-like protein 1 (MARCKSL1) have a wide range of functions, ranging from roles in embryonic development to adult brain plasticity and the inflammatory response. Recently, both proteins have also been identified as important players in regeneration. Upon phosphorylation by protein kinase C (PKC) or calcium-dependent calmodulin-binding, MARCKS and MARCKSL1 translocate from the membrane into the cytosol, modulating cytoskeletal actin dynamics and vesicular trafficking and activating various signal transduction pathways. As a consequence, the two proteins are involved in the regulation of cell migration, secretion, proliferation and differentiation in many different tissues. MAIN BODY Throughout vertebrate development, MARCKS and MARCKSL1 are widely expressed in tissues derived from all germ layers, with particularly strong expression in the nervous system. They have been implicated in the regulation of gastrulation, myogenesis, brain development, and other developmental processes. Mice carrying loss of function mutations in either Marcks or Marcksl1 genes die shortly after birth due to multiple deficiencies including detrimental neural tube closure defects. In adult vertebrates, MARCKS and MARCKL1 continue to be important for multiple regenerative processes including peripheral nerve, appendage, and tail regeneration, making them promising targets for regenerative medicine. CONCLUSION This review briefly summarizes the molecular interactions and cellular functions of MARCKS and MARCKSL1 proteins and outlines their vital roles in development and regeneration.

Abstract
Treatment of epithelial cells with interferon-γ and TNF-α (IFN/TNF) results in increased paracellular permeability. To identify relevant proteins mediating barrier disruption, we performed proximity-dependent biotinylation (BioID) of occludin and found that tagging of MARCKS-related protein (MRP; also known as MARCKSL1) increased ∼20-fold following IFN/TNF administration. GFP-MRP was focused at the lateral cell membrane and its overexpression potentiated the physiological response of the tight junction barrier to cytokines. However, deletion of MRP did not abrogate the cytokine responses, suggesting that MRP is not required in the occludin-dependent IFN/TNF response. Instead, our results reveal a key role for MRP in epithelial cells in control of multiple actin-based structures, likely by regulation of integrin signaling. Changes in focal adhesion organization and basal actin stress fibers in MRP-knockout (KO) cells were reminiscent of those seen in FAK-KO cells. In addition, we found alterations in cell-cell interactions in MRP-KO cells associated with increased junctional tension, suggesting that MRP may play a role in focal adhesion-adherens junction cross talk. Together, our results are consistent with a key role for MRP in cytoskeletal organization of cell contacts in epithelial cells.

Abstract
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) incorporation into intlmally resident vascular cells via scavenger receptors marks one of the early steps in atherosclerosis. Cellular apoptotic damage results from two major serial intracellular events: the binding and scavenger receptor-mediated uptake of oxldizable lipoproteins and the intracellular oxidative responses of accumulated lipoproteins. Most molecular approaches to prevent apoptotic damage have focused on singular events within the cascade of lipoprotein trafficking. To identify a multifocal strategy against LDL-induced apoptosis, we evaluated the role of cellular preconditioning by glutathione-ethyl ester (GSH-Et), a native redox regulator, in the prevention of the uptake and apoptotic effects of an oxldizable scavenger receptor-specific ligand, acetylated low-density lipoprotein (Ac-LDL). Our results indicate that GSH-Et–mediated protein kinase C (PKC) pathway modulation regulates Ac-LDL binding and incorporation into GSH-Et preconditioned cells and subsequently delays reactive oxygen intermediate generation and apoptotic conversion. The GSH-Et protective effects on apoptosis and Ac-LDL binding were reversed by calphostin C, a PKC inhibitor, and were accompanied by an increase in PKC phosphorylation. However, the rate of reactive oxygen intermediate accumulation was not increased following calphostin C treatment, suggesting that GSH-Et may play an important nonreactive oxygen-intermediate–based protective role in regulating apoptotic dynamics. Overall, we report on the novel role for GSH-Et preconditioning as a molecular strategy to limit lipoprotein entry Into the cells, which presents a proactive modality to prevent cellular apoptosis in contrast with the prevalent antioxidant approaches that treat damage retroactively.

Migration and Phagocytic Ability of Activated Microglia During Post-natal Development is Mediated by Calcium-Dependent Purinergic Signalling. Mol Neurobiol 2015; 53:944-954.

Abstract
Microglia play an important role in synaptic pruning and controlled phagocytosis of neuronal cells during developmental stages. However, the mechanisms that regulate these functions are not completely understood. The present study was designed to investigate the role of purinergic signalling in microglial migration and phagocytic activity during post-natal brain development. One-day-old BALB/c mice received lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and/or a purinergic analogue (2-methylthioladenosine-5'-diphosphate; 2MeSADP), intracerebroventrically (i.c.v.). Combined administration of LPS and 2MeSADP resulted in activation of microglia as evident from increased expression of ionised calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba1). Activated microglia showed increased expression of purinergic receptors (P2Y2, P2Y6 and P2Y12). LPS either alone or in combination with 2MeSADP induced the expression of Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX-1) and P/Q-type Ca(2+) channels along with MARCKS-related protein (MRP), which is an integral component of cell migration machinery. In addition, LPS and 2MeSADP administration induced the expression of microglial CD11b and DAP12 (DNAX-activation protein 12), which are known to be involved in phagocytosis of neurons during development. Interestingly, administration of thapsigargin (TG), a specific Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor of endoplasmic reticulum, prevented the LPS/2MeSADP-induced microglial activation and migration by down-regulating the expression of Iba1 and MRP, respectively. Moreover, TG also reduced the LPS/2MeSADP-induced expression of CD11b/DAP12. Taken together, the findings reveal for the first time that Ca(2+)-mediated purinergic receptors regulate the migration and phagocytic ability of microglia during post-natal brain development.

Abstract
Neutrophil infiltration is a prominent feature in a number of pathologic conditions affecting horses including recurrent airway obstruction, ischemia-reperfusion injury, and laminitis. Cell signaling components involved in neutrophil migration represent targets for novel anti-inflammatory therapies. In order to migrate into tissue, neutrophils must respond to chemoattractant signals in their external environment through activation of adhesion receptors (i.e. integrins) and reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. Myristoylated Alanine-Rich C-Kinase Substrate (MARCKS), a highly conserved actin-binding protein, has a well demonstrated role in cytoskeletal dependent cellular functions (i.e. adhesion, spreading, and migration), but the details of MARCKS involvement in these processes remain vague. We hypothesized that MARCKS serves as a link between the actin cytoskeleton and integrin function in neutrophils. Using a MARCKS-specific inhibitor peptide known as MANS on equine neutrophils in vitro, we demonstrate that inhibition of MARCKS function significantly attenuates β2-integrin-dependent neutrophil functions including migration, adhesion, and immune complex-mediated respiratory burst. The MANS peptide did not, however, inhibit the β2-integrin-independent PMA mediated respiratory burst. These results attest to the essential role of MARCKS function in regulating neutrophil responses, and strongly implicate MARCKS as a potential regulator of β2-integrins in neutrophils.

Abstract
Laminin-binding integrins (α3β1, α6β1, α6β4, α7β1) are almost always expressed together with tetraspanin CD151. In every coexpressing cell analyzed to date, CD151 makes a fundamental contribution to integrin-dependent motility, invasion, morphology, adhesion and/or signaling. However, there has been minimal mechanistic insight into how CD151 affects integrin functions. In MDA-MB-231 mammary cells, tetraspanin CD151 knockdown impairs α6 integrin clustering and functions without decreasing α6 integrin expression or activation. Furthermore, CD151 knockdown minimally affects the magnitude of α6 integrin diffusion, as measured using single particle tracking. Instead, CD151 knockdown has a novel and unexpected dysregulating effect on the mode of α6 integrin diffusion. In control cells α6 integrin shows mostly random-confined diffusion (RCD) and some directed motion (DMO). In sharp contrast, in CD151-knockdown cells α6 integrin shows mostly DMO. In control cells α6 diffusion mode is sensitive to actin disruption, talin knockdown and phorbol ester stimulation. By contrast, CD151 knockdown cell α6 integrin is sensitive to actin disruption but desensitized to talin knockdown or phorbol ester stimulation, indicating dysregulation. Both phorbol ester and EGF stimulate cell spreading and promote α6 RCD in control cells. By contrast, CD151-ablated cells retain EGF effects but lose phorbol-ester-stimulated spreading and α6 RCD. For α6 integrins, physical association with CD151 promotes α6 RCD, in support of α6-mediated cable formation and adhesion. By comparison, for integrins not associated with CD151 (e.g. αv integrins), CD151 affects neither diffusion mode nor αv function. Hence, CD151 support of α6 RCD is specific and functionally relevant, and probably underlies diverse CD151 functions in skin, kidney and cancer cells.

Abstract
Myristoylated alanine rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS) has been implicated in PKC-mediated membrane-cytoskeleton alterations that underlie lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced macrophage responses. MARCKS is postulated to be involved in inflammation-associated CCA based on its overexpression in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and inflammatory cells. The aims of this study were to investigate localization patterns of MARCKS in hamster and human tissue during cholangiocarcinogenesis and to examine the involvement of MARCKS in inflammation. MARCKS protein expression was found prominently in inflammatory cells of Opisthorchis viverrini-treated as well as O. viverrini plus N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA)-treated hamsters from week 2 to week 3 of treatment. The positive signal decreased during week 4 to week 12, then increased again at week 26 when CCA developed. At the last time point the expression of MARCKS was observed in both cancer and inflammatory cells. MARCKS protein expression was also found in inflammatory cells, including macrophages in human CCA tissues. O. viverrini excretory/secretory products or worm antigen induced MARCKS mRNA and protein expression in a dose- and time-dependent manner in the human U937 macrophage cell line. The relative mRNA expression of MARCKS in white blood cells of O. viverrini-infected patients was significantly higher than in healthy subjects (P = 0.02). Thus, MARCKS is significantly expressed in macrophages and plays a role in inflammation-related CCA induced by O. viverrini.

Abstract
During T-cell migration, cell polarity is orchestrated by chemokine receptors and adhesion molecules and involves the functional redistribution of molecules and organelles towards specific cell compartments. In contrast, it is generally believed that the cell polarity established when T cells meet antigen-presenting cells (APCs) is controlled by the triggered T-cell receptor (TCR). Here, we show that, during activation of human T lymphocytes by APCs, chemokines and LFA-1 establish cell polarity independently of TCR triggering. Chemokine-induced LFA-1 activation results in fast recruitment of MTOC and mitochondria towards the potential APC, a process required to amplify TCR Ca(2+) signalling at the upcoming immunological synapse, to promote nuclear translocation of transcriptional factor NFATc2 and boost CD25 expression. Our data show that the initial adhesive signals delivered by chemokines and LFA-1 shape and prepare T cells for antigen recognition.

Abstract
Affinity changes and avidity modulation both contribute to activation of beta(2)-integrin-mediated adhesion, an essential, early step in inflammation. Avidity modulation, defined as an increase in adhesiveness independent of integrin conformational changes, might be due to integrin clustering, motion, or both. Increased integrin diffusion upon leukocyte activation has been demonstrated, but whether it is proadhesive in itself, or just constitutes a mechanism for integrin clustering, remains unclear. To understand the proadhesive effects of integrin affinity changes, clustering, and motion, an experimental system was devised to separate them. Clustering and integrin motion together were induced by cytochalasin D (CD) without inducing high-affinity; integrin motion could then be frozen by fixation; and high affinity was induced independently by Mn(2+). Adhesion was equivalent for fixed and unfixed cells except following pretreatment with CD or Mn(2+), which increased adhesion for both. However, fixed cells were less adhesive than unfixed cells after CD, even though integrin clustering was similar. A simple explanation is that CD induces both clustering and integrin motion, fixation then stops motion on fixed cells, but integrins continue to diffuse on unfixed cells, increasing the kinetics of integrin/ICAM-1 interactions to enhance adhesion. Affinity changes are then independent of, and additive to, avidity effects.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) reside within tissues such as bone marrow, cord blood, and dental pulp and can differentiate into other mesenchymal cell types. Differentiated MSCs, called circulating fibrocytes, have been demonstrated in human lungs and migrate to injured lung tissue in experimental models. It is likely that MSCs migrate from the bone marrow to sites of injury by following increasing chemokine concentrations. In the present study, we show that primary mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) exhibit directed chemotaxis through transwell inserts toward increasing concentrations of the chemokines complement component 5a, stromal cell-derived factor-1alpha, and monocyte chemotactic protein-1. Prior research has indicated that myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS) protein is critically important for motility in macrophages, neutrophils, and fibroblasts, and here we investigated a possible role for MARCKS in BM-MSC directed chemotaxis. The presence of MARCKS in these cells as well as in human cord blood MSC was verified by Western blotting, and MARCKS was rapidly phosphorylated in these cells after exposure to chemokines. A synthetic peptide that inhibits MARCKS function attenuated, in a concentration-dependent manner, directed chemotaxis of BM-MSCs, while a missense control peptide had no effect. Our results illustrate, for the first time, that MARCKS protein plays an integral role in BM-MSC-directed chemotaxis in vitro.

Abstract
Myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS), a substrate of protein kinase C (PKC) has been suggested to be implicated in cell adhesion, secretion, and motility through the regulation of the actin cytoskeletal structure. The quantitative real-time-polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed that MARCKS is significantly overexpressed in Opisthorchis viverrini-associated cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) (P = 0.001) in a hamster model, which correlated with the results of mRNA in situ hybridization. An immunohistochemical analysis of 60 CCA patients revealed a significant increase of MARCKS expression. Moreover, the log-rank analysis indicated that CCA patients with a high MARCKS expression have significantly shorter survival times than those with a low MARCKS expression (P = 0.02). This study investigated whether MARCKS overexpression is associated with CCA metastasis. Using a confocal microscopic analysis of CCA cell lines that had been stimulated with the PKC activator, 12-0-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), MARCKS was found to be translocated from the plasma membrane to the perinuclear area. In addition, phosphorylated MARCKS (pMARCKS) became highly concentrated in the perinuclear area. Moreover, an adhesion assay demonstrated that the exogenous overexpression of MARCKS remarkably promoted cell attachment. Interestingly, after TPA stimulation, the CCA cell line-depleted MARCKS showed a decrease in migration and invasion activity. It can be concluded that in non-stimulation, MARCKS promotes cell attachment to the extracellular matrix. After TPA stimulation, PKC phosphorylates MARCKS leading to cell migration or invasion. Taken together, the results of this study reveal a prominent role for MARCKS as one of the key players in the migration of CCA cells and suggest that cycling between MARCKS and pMARCKS can regulate the metastasis of biliary cancer cells.

Abstract
The molecular action mechanism of MRP, one of the protein kinase C (PKC) substrates, has been under intense investigation, but reports on its role in macrophage function remain controversial. The treatment of macrophage cell lines with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced a high level of MRP expression suggesting that MRP plays a role in the function of activated macrophages. In order to investigate the role of MRP in activated RAW264.7 cells, we stably transfected MRP-specific shRNA expression constructs and tested for alterations in macrophage-related functions. The down-regulation of MRP expression resulted in a marked reduction in chemotaxis toward MCP-1 or extracellular matrix proteins. Furthermore, pharmacological inhibitors of PKC significantly inhibited the chemotaxis in RAW264.7 cells. These data reveals the pivotal role of MRP in the transmigration of activated RAW264.7 cells.

Abstract
Increased extracellular pressure stimulates beta1-integrin-dependent cancer cell adhesion. We asked whether pressure-induced adhesion is mediated by changes in beta1-integrin binding affinity or avidity and whether these changes are phosphorylation dependent. We evaluated integrin affinity and clustering in human SW620 colon cancer cells by measuring differences in binding between soluble Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-Fc ligands and RGD-Fc-F(ab')2 multimeric complexes under ambient and 15-mmHg increased pressures. Phosphorylation of beta1-integrin S785 and T788/9 residues in SW620 and primary malignant colonocytes was assessed in parallel. We further used GD25-beta1-integrin-null murine fibroblasts stably transfected with either wild-type beta1A-integrin, S785A, TT788/9AA, or T788D mutants to investigate the role of beta1-integrin site-specific phosphorylation. SW620 binding of RGD-Fc-F(ab')2 multimeric complexes, but not soluble RGD-Fc ligands, was sensitive to integrin clustering. RGD-Fc ligand binding was significantly increased under elevated pressure, suggesting that pressure modulates beta1-integrin affinity. Pressure stimulated both beta1-integrin S785 and T788/9 phosphorylation. GD25-beta1A-integrin wild-type and S785A cells displayed an increase in adhesion to fibronectin under elevated pressure, an effect absent in beta1-integrin-null and TT788/9AA cells. T788D substitution significantly elevated basal cell adhesion but displayed no further increase under pressure. These results suggest pressure-induced cell adhesion is mediated by beta1-integrin T788/9 phosphorylation-dependent changes in integrin binding affinity.

Abstract
The major PKC substrates MARCKS and MacMARCKS (MRP) are membrane-binding proteins implicated in cell spreading, integrin activation and exocytosis. According to the myristoyl-electrostatic switch model the co-operation between the myristoyl moiety and the positively charged effector domain (ED) is an essential mechanism by which proteins bind to membranes. Loss of the electrostatic interaction between the ED and phospholipids, such as Ptdins(4,5)P2, results in the translocation of such proteins to the cytoplasm. While this model has been extensively tested for the binding of MARCKS far less is known about the mechanisms regulating MRP localization. We demonstrate that after phosphorylation, MRP is relocated to the intracellular membranes of late endosomes and lysosomes. MRP binds to all membranes via its myristoyl moiety, but for its localization at the plasma membrane the ED is also required. Although the ED of MRP can bind to Ptdins(4,5)P2 in vitro, this binding is not essential for its retention at or targeting to the plasma membrane. We conclude that the co-operation between the myristoyl moiety and the ED is not required for the binding to membranes in general but that it is essential for the targeting of MRP to the plasma membrane in a Ptdins(4,5)P2-independent manner.

Abstract
Little is known how age alters the dynamics and function of cell adhesion molecules, especially under inflammatory and stressful conditions. One membrane constituent, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is a transmembrane glycoprotein of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily that regulates key outside-->in and inside-->out signals associated with cell-to-cell interactions. If conditions such as age and inflammation change usual ICAM-1 action then important downstream effects ultimately perturb endothelial cell function. In this report, ICAM-1 accumulates in late passage endothelial cells when compared to early passage endothelial cells, yet ICAM-1 protein expression is attenuated when senescent cells are challenged by TNF-alpha (10ng/ml). Importantly, age alters ICAM-1 dynamic properties from directed to random receptor motion within the membrane. Single particle tracking reveals that the average ICAM-1 mobility is 44% less in late than early passage cells after its motion is stimulated by the Protein Kinase C (PKC) activator, phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). The mechanism for altered ICAM-1 mobility partly can be explained by a reduced rate of alpha-actinin linking with ICAM-1 in late passage Human Pulmonary Artery Endothelial Cells (HPAECs). Furthermore, tyrosine phosphorylation of alpha-actinin, a requirment for ICAM-1 clustering, is markedly reduced in senescent cells. These findings support a hypothesis that senescence results in changes of ICAM-1 activation and clustering, thus resulting in an age-dependent transmembrane signaling disorder. Therefore, further understanding of age-dependent disturbances of ICAM-1 regulation during inflammation can provide important clues as to appropriate targets for therapeutic interventions and prevention of vascular disorders in elderly at the level of the endothelial surface membrane.

Abstract
HIV-1 infection of cells of macrophage lineage impairs a number of effector functions performed by these cells, including phagocytosis of opsonized pathogens. In this study we investigate the effects of HIV-1 on the mechanism of complement (C')-mediated phagocytosis by human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM). Using C'-opsonized sheep red blood cells (sRBC) as targets, we demonstrate that phagocytosis is inhibited by HIV-1 infection in vitro. Inhibition is not due to downregulation of surface C' receptors (R) or altered binding of C'-opsonized targets to HIV-1-infected MDM, suggesting a postreceptor-mediated mechanism of suppression. Having shown that increased levels of intracellular cAMP in uninfected MDM inhibit phagocytosis, we demonstrate that HIV-1 infection of MDM is associated with increased intracellular cAMP. Using the adenylate cyclase inhibitors 2',5'-dideoxyadenosine and MDL-12,330A, we show that phagocytosis by HIV-1- infected MDM can be restored by inhibition of cAMP production. Defective phagocytosis by HIV-1-infected MDM did not correlate with prostaglandin secretion, and was less in uninfected MDM within the HIV-1-infected cell culture suggesting a minimal bystander effect. Inhibition required viral entry but not active viral replication, as shown by use of the antiretroviral drug lamivudine. Hence, our study suggests that HIV-1 impairs C'R-mediated phagocytosis in MDM by elevating intracellular cAMP levels, independent of prostaglandin secretion, and contributes to our understanding of how HIV-1 impairs cell-mediated immunity.

Abstract
R-Ras, an atypical member of the Ras subfamily of small GTPases, enhances integrin-mediated adhesion and signaling through a poorly understood mechanism. Dynamic analysis of cell spreading by total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy demonstrated that active R-Ras lengthened the duration of initial membrane protrusion, and promoted the formation of a ruffling lamellipod, rich in branched actin structures and devoid of filopodia. By contrast, dominant-negative R-Ras enhanced filopodia formation. Moreover, RNA interference (RNAi) approaches demonstrated that endogenous R-Ras contributed to cell spreading. These observations suggest that R-Ras regulates membrane protrusions through organization of the actin cytoskeleton. Our results suggest that phospholipase Cepsilon (PLCepsilon) is a novel R-Ras effector mediating the effects of R-Ras on the actin cytoskeleton and membrane protrusion, because R-Ras was co-precipitated with PLCepsilon and increased its activity. Knockdown of PLCepsilon with siRNA reduced the formation of the ruffling lamellipod in R-Ras cells. Consistent with this pathway, inhibitors of PLC activity, or chelating intracellular Ca2+ abolished the ability of R-Ras to promote membrane protrusions and spreading. Overall, these data suggest that R-Ras signaling regulates the organization of the actin cytoskeleton to sustain membrane protrusion through the activity of PLCepsilon.

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

Abstract
Protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms are central components in intracellular networks that regulate a vast number of cellular processes. It has long been known that in most cell types, one or more PKC isoforms influences the morphology of the F-actin cytoskeleton and thereby regulates processes that are affected by remodelling of the microfilaments. These include cellular migration and neurite outgrowth. This review focuses on the role of classical and novel PKC isoforms in migration and neurite outgrowth, and highlights some regulatory steps that may be of importance in the regulation by PKC of migration and neurite outgrowth. Many studies indicate that integrins are crucial mediators both upstream and downstream of PKC in inducing morphological changes. Furthermore, a number of PKC substrates, directly associated with the microfilaments, such as MARCKS, GAP43, adducin, fascin, ERM proteins and others have been identified. Their potential role in PKC effects on the cytoskeleton is discussed.

Abstract
Dynamic regulation of integrin adhesiveness is required for immune cell–cell interactions and leukocyte migration. Here, we investigate the relationship between cell adhesion and integrin microclustering as measured by fluorescence resonance energy transfer, and macroclustering as measured by high resolution fluorescence microscopy. Stimuli that activate adhesion through leukocyte function–associated molecule-1 (LFA-1) failed to alter clustering of LFA-1 in the absence of ligand. Binding of monomeric intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) induced profound changes in the conformation of LFA-1 but did not alter clustering, whereas binding of ICAM-1 oligomers induced significant microclustering. Increased diffusivity in the membrane by cytoskeleton-disrupting agents was sufficient to drive adhesion in the absence of affinity modulation and was associated with a greater accumulation of LFA-1 to the zone of adhesion, but redistribution did not precede cell adhesion. Disruption of conformational communication within the extracellular domain of LFA-1 blocked adhesion stimulated by affinity-modulating agents, but not adhesion stimulated by cytoskeleton-disrupting agents. Thus, LFA-1 clustering does not precede ligand binding, and instead functions in adhesion strengthening after binding to multivalent ligands.

Abstract
We have investigated how LTB4, an endogenous chemoattractant encountered early in the inflammatory process, and fMLP, a bacteria-derived chemotactic peptide emanating from the site of infection, mediate inside-out regulation of the beta2-integrin. The role of the two chemoattractants on beta2-integrin avidity was investigated by measuring their effect on beta2-integrin clustering and surface mobility, whereas their effect on beta2-integrin affinity was measured by the expression of a high affinity epitope, a ligand-binding domain on beta2-integrins, and by integrin binding to s-ICAM. We find that the two chemoattractants modulate the beta2-integrin differently. LTB4 induces an increase in integrin clustering and surface mobility, but only a modest increase in integrin affinity. fMLP evokes a large increase in beta2-integrin affinity as well as in clustering and mobility. Lipoxin, which acts as a stop signal for the functions mediated by pro-inflammatory agents, was used as a tool for further examining the inside-out mechanisms. While LTB4-induced integrin clustering and mobility were inhibited by lipoxin, only a minor inhibition of fMLP-induced beta2-integrin avidity and no inhibition of integrin affinity were detected. The different modes of the inside-out regulation of beta2-integrins suggest that distinct mechanisms are involved in the beta2-integrin modulation induced by various chemoattractants.

Abstract
An early step in activation of leukocyte adhesion is a release of integrins from cytoskeletal constraints on their diffusion, leading to rearrangement and, consequently, increased avidity. Static adhesion assays using purified ligand as a substrate have demonstrated that very low doses of cytochalasin D disconnect beta2-integrins from their cytoskeletal links, allowing rearrangement and activating adhesion. The adhesion process in blood vessels is poorly simulated by these assays, however, for two reasons: leukocyte adhesion to endothelium 1), occurs in the presence of blood flow and 2), involves the simultaneous interactions of multiple sets of adhesion molecules. We investigated the effect of cytochalasin D, at concentrations that increase integrin diffusion but do not alter leukocyte shape and surface features, on adhesion of leukocytes to endothelial cells under flow. Cytochalasin D increased the number of rolling cells, the number of firmly adherent cells, and the duration of both rolling and firm adhesion. These effects required endothelial cell expression of ICAM-1, the ligand for leukocyte beta2-integrins. The beta2-integrin-ICAM-1 interaction alone was not sufficient, however. Experiments using purified substrates demonstrated that avidity effects on activation of adhesion under flow require functional cooperativity between integrins and other adhesion receptors.

Abstract
The activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule (ALCAM) is dynamically regulated by the actin cytoskeleton. In this study we explored the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways underlying the cytoskeletal restraints of this homotypic adhesion molecule. We observed that ALCAM-mediated adhesion induced by cytoskeleton-disrupting agents is accompanied by activation of the small GTPases RhoA, Rac1 and Cdc42. Interestingly, unlike adhesion mediated by integrins or cadherins, ALCAM-mediated adhesion appears to be independent of Rho-like GTPase activity. By contrast, we demonstrated that protein kinase C (PKC) plays a major role in ALCAM-mediated adhesion. PKC inhibition by chelerythrine chloride and myristoylated PKC pseudosubstrate, as well as PKC downregulation by PMA strongly reduce cytoskeleton-dependent ALCAM-mediated adhesion. Since serine and threonine residues are dispensable for ALCAM-mediated adhesion and ALCAM is not phosphorylated, we can rule out that ALCAM itself is a direct PKC substrate. We conclude that PKCα plays a dominant role in cytoskeleton-dependent avidity modulation of ALCAM.

Abstract
We investigated the role of acetylated microtubules in the antigen-specific interaction of T helper and antigen-presenting cells (APCs). In T cells, acetylated microtubules concentrated at contact site with APCs, surrounding clusters of CD3 and LFA-1. TcR engagement induced a transient deacetylation of microtubules at early times and an enhanced acetylation at late times. Confocal videomicroscopy studies revealed that the HDAC6 tubulin deacetylase was translocated and concentrated at the contact site of T cells with APCs. Overexpression of HDAC6 but not a dead deacetylase mutant in T cells disorganized CD3 and LFA-1 at the immune synapse. This effect was reverted by treatment with the deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin A. The antigen-specific translocation of the microtubule organizing center (MTOC) and IL-2 production were also severely impaired by overexpression of HDAC6. Our results underscore the key role for HDAC6 in the organization of the immune synapse and the antigen-specific reorientation of the MTOC.

Abstract
We describe the use of atomic force microscopy (AFM) in studies of cell adhesion and cell compliance. Our studies use the interaction between leukocyte function associated antigen-1 (LFA-1)/intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) as a model system. The forces required to unbind a single LFA-1/ICAM-1 bond were measured at different loading rates. This data was used to determine the dynamic strength of the LFA-1/ICAM-1 complex and characterize the activation potential that this complex overcomes during its breakage. Force measurements acquired at the multiple- bond level provided insight about the mechanism of cell adhesion. In addition, the AFM was used as a microindenter to determine the mechanical properties of cells. The applications of these methods are described using data from a previous study.

Abstract
To extravasate the bloodstream at specific targets, circulating immune cells must activate their integrins to undergo rapid in situ modulation of affinity or avidity for their endothelial ligands. This activation involves specialized sub-second G-protein signal transduction triggered by endothelium-displayed chemoattractants--primarily chemokines--and their cognate leukocyte-expressed G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Recently, we reported a rare autosomal-recessive leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) syndrome associated with a defective ability of integrins to undergo GPCR-mediated stimulation at endothelial contacts. This LAD shows significant similarities to a group of integrin-activation syndromes reported in leukocytes and platelets. Here, the mechanisms by which GPCRs might regulate leukocyte and platelet integrins are outlined with respect to this new family of LAD cases. We propose to term this the LAD-III family.

Abstract
Leukocyte integrins must rapidly strengthen their binding to target endothelial sites to arrest rolling adhesions under physiological shear flow. We demonstrate that the integrin-associated tetraspanin, CD81, regulates VLA-4 and VLA-5 adhesion strengthening in monocytes and primary murine B cells. CD81 strengthens multivalent VLA-4 contacts within subsecond integrin occupancy without altering intrinsic adhesive properties to low density ligand. CD81 facilitates both VLA-4-mediated leukocyte rolling and arrest on VCAM-1 under shear flow as well as VLA-5-dependent adhesion to fibronectin during short stationary contacts. CD81 also augments VLA-4 avidity enhancement induced by either chemokine-stimulated Gi proteins or by protein kinase C activation, although it is not required for Gi protein or protein kinase C signaling activities. In contrast to other proadhesive integrin-associated proteins, CD81-promoted integrin adhesiveness does not require its own ligand occupancy or ligation. These results provide the first demonstration of an integrin-associated transmembranal protein that facilitates instantaneous multivalent integrin occupancy events that promote leukocyte adhesion to an endothelial ligand under shear flow.

Functional interactions between Fcgamma-receptors (FcgammaR) and the beta2 integrin Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18) have been described, but the molecular basis of this relationship remains unclear. Although the glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked receptor FcgammaRIIIB of human neutrophils is constitutively associated with Mac-1, we found no evidence for direct physical association between Mac-1 and the FcgammaR of mouse macrophages, which are transmembrane proteins. Nevertheless, Mac-1 accumulated in the phagocytic cup following engagement of FcgammaR by IgG-opsonized particles. Blocking the CD18 chains of beta2 integrins by using specific antibodies reduced Mac-1 accumulation in the cup. These antibodies or the addition of the recombinant CD11b I-domain inhibited the ingestion of IgG-opsonized particles. FcgammaR cross-linking stimulated cell adhesion to surfaces coated with Mac-1 ligands and in addition enabled macrophages to bind C3bi-opsonized particles, indicating that FcgammaR-derived signals induce activation of Mac-1. Measurements of fluorescence recovery after photobleaching revealed that whereas most (>80%) of Mac-1 is immobile in resting cells, stimulation of FcgammaR markedly increases the mobile fraction of the integrin. Activation of Mac-1 by FcgammaR required the activity of Src family tyrosine kinases, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and phospholipase C, with the release of diacylglycerol and stimulation of protein kinase C. Because elevated cytosolic Ca2+ was not required, we suggest that novel protein kinase C isoforms are involved in Mac-1 activation. These results suggest that FcgammaR stimulation promotes Mac-1 clustering into high avidity complexes in phagocytic cups by releasing the integrin from cytoskeletal constraints and enhancing its lateral diffusion. FcgammaR can enhance host defense by activating Mac-1 (and possibly other integrins), having a synergistic effect on pathogen engulfment and promoting the adherence of phagocytes at sites of infection.

Abstract
Microglial activation by amyloid beta-protein in senile plaques contributes to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer disease. In BV-2 microglial cells, amyloid beta-protein 1-40 (Abeta 1-40) elicited a dose-dependent increase (3-4 fold) of Myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS) and MARCKS-related protein (MRP), two protein kinase C substrates implicated in membrane-cytoskeletal alterations underlying microglial adhesion, migration, secretion, and phagocytosis. Neither MARCKS nor MRP was induced by the amyloid fragment Abeta 25-35, although both Abeta 1-40 and Abeta 25-35 caused extensive aggregation of BV-2 cells. Interferon-gamma synergistically enhanced the induction by Abeta 1-40 of inducible nitric oxide synthase, but not MARCKS or MRP. Our results suggest that MARCKS and MRP may play important roles in microglia activated by amyloid peptides.

Abstract
The interaction of leukocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is central to the regulation of adhesion in leukocytes. In this report, we investigated the mechanisms by which phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) promotes LFA-1-dependent cell adhesion. The adhesion of PMA-stimulated cells to immobilized ICAM-1 was quantified in direct force measurements acquired by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Enhanced adhesion of PMA-stimulated cells to immobilized ICAM-1 stemmed from an increase in the number of LFA-1-ICAM-1 complexes formed between the two apposing surfaces on contact, rather than by affinity modulation of LFA-1. Single molecule force measurements revealed that the force spectrum of the LFA-1-ICAM-1 complex formed by PMA-stimulated cells is identical to the force spectrum of the complex formed by resting cells. Thus, PMA stimulation does not modify the mechanical strength of the individual LFA-1-ICAM-1 interaction. Instead, the enhanced cell adhesion of PMA-stimulated cells appears to be a complex process that correlates with changes in the mechanical properties of the cell. We estimate that changes in the elasticity of the cell gave rise to a more than 10-fold increase in cell adhesion.

Abstract
Matrix remodeling by phagocytic fibroblasts is essential for growth and development but the regulatory processes are undefined. We evaluated the impact of spreading on the binding step of collagen phagocytosis with a novel culture system that more closely replicates phagocytosis in vivo than previous models. 3T3 cells were plated on collagen-coated beads, thereby loading only ventral surfaces (adhesion with spreading), or were allowed to spread on collagen films and then loaded with beads on their dorsal surfaces (adhesion without spreading). Ventral surfaces bound three-fold more beads than dorsal surfaces which was accompanied by accelerated phagosomal maturation. Arp3 and cortactin, markers of the actin-associated spreading machinery, strongly accumulated around ventrally but not dorsally loaded beads, suggesting that spreading contributes to enhanced binding of ventral surfaces. Further, ventral surfaces exhibited two-fold more free alpha2beta1 integrins, the major collagen receptors. Notably, compared to cells spread on collagen substrates, spreading cells exhibited a three-fold higher alpha2beta1 mobile fraction which was correlated with limited engagement of ventral receptors by actin filaments. Thus integrin ligation by actin filaments regulates the mobility of collagen receptors which in turn mediates the enhanced binding of collagen beads on spreading surfaces.

Abstract
The arrest of rolling leukocytes on target endothelium is predominantly mediated by integrins, which pre-exist in largely inactive states on circulating immune cells and need to be activated in situ. These adhesion receptors acquire high avidity upon encounter with endothelial-displayed chemokines or chemoattractants, which are ligands to specific G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) on the leukocyte surface. In order to arrest, the leukocyte must constantly integrate endothelial-based signals as it moves along the vessel wall. It is unclear whether the chemokine signal is locally transmitted at the endothelial contact zone or whether the rolling leukocyte accumulates successive chemokine signals to reach a threshold global activation. Recent in vitro and in vivo data suggest that the induction of high integrin avidity by endothelial chemokine-transduced G(i)-signals is a general mechanism that has evolved to locally enhance integrin avidity to ligand within subseconds at restricted leukocyte-endothelial contacts. In addition, a second specialized mechanism, involving stepwise signals integrated by selectin ligands on rolling cells, seems to activate integrins on the entire leukocyte surface. This GPCR-independent and much slower pathway (10(1)-10(2) seconds) is transmitted through rolling engagements of neutrophils, primarily on E-selectin. We propose that these two mechanisms are differentially used by distinct leukocyte subsets at various vascular beds, providing much larger combinatorial diversity of integrin activation on rolling leukocytes than previously predicted.

Abstract
Leukocyte adhesion must be tightly controlled in order for leukocytes to patrol the body as nonadherent cells, yet stop and emigrate from the blood into tissues at sites of infection or inflammation. A key element in this process is activation of beta2 integrins. While beta2 integrin activation involves conformational changes that increase affinity for ligand, evidence is accumulating that rearrangement of integrins, resulting in increases in avidity, is at least as important in regulating binding capacity. Recent work has established the importance of diffusion and rearrangement of integrins to activation of leukocyte adhesion, and has begun to unravel the molecular basis of its regulation.

Abstract
Previously, we and others have shown that RhoA and ROCK signaling are required for negatively regulating integrin-mediated adhesion and for tail retraction of migrating leukocytes. This study continues our investigation into the molecular mechanisms underlying RhoA/ROCK-regulated integrin adhesion. We show that inhibition of ROCK up-regulates integrin-mediated adhesion, which is accompanied by both increased phosphotyrosine signaling through Pyk-2 and paxillin and inappropriate membrane protrusions. We provide evidence that inhibition of ROCK induces integrin adhesion by promoting remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton. Furthermore, we find that ROCK regulates membrane activity through a pathway involving cofilin. Inhibition of RhoA signaling allows the formation of multiple competing lamellipodia that disrupt productive migration of monocytes. Together, our results show that RhoA/ROCK signaling promotes migration by restricting integrin activity and membrane protrusions to the leading edge.

Abstract
Defective immunological function of cells of the macrophage lineage contributes considerably to the pathogenesis of HIV-1 infection. Impairment of phagocytosis of opportunistic pathogens such as Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), Pneumocystis carinii, Toxoplasma gondii or Candida albicans by peripheral blood monocytes, tissue macrophages and monocyte-derived macrophages following in vivo and in vitro HIV-1 infection is well documented. The development of opportunistic infections due to these pathogens in HIV-infected individuals at late stages of disease is attributed to defective monocyte/macrophage function. The mechanisms whereby HIV-1 impairs phagocytosis are not well known. A number of phagocytic receptors normally mediate engulfment of specific opportunistic pathogens by cells of macrophage lineage; distinct mechanisms are triggered by pathogen-receptor binding to promote cytoskeletal rearrangements and engulfment. This review focuses on the signalling events occurring during Fcgamma receptor- and complement receptor-mediated phagocytosis, and considers the mechanisms by which HIV-1 inhibits those signalling events. Since macrophage function is enhanced by cytokines such as granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), the use of these immunomodulators is of potential interest as adjunctive immunotherapy in immunosuppressed individuals. In this review we present examples of clinical applications of GM-CSF and IFN-gamma therapy for the treatment of opportunistic infections in HIV-infected individuals receiving antiretroviral drugs.

Abstract
Leukocyte migration from bloodstream to tissue requires rapid, coordinated regulation of integrin-dependent adhesion and de-adhesion. In a previous study we demonstrated that inhibition of protein geranylgeranylation inhibited phorbol ester-stimulated avidity modulation of beta(1) integrin in several leukocyte cell lines. Both RhoA and Rap1 require post-translational modification by geranylgeranylation for full function. In this report we identify Rap1, not RhoA, as a critical geranylgeranylated protein mediating phorbol ester-stimulated beta(1) and beta(2) integrin-dependent adhesion of Jurkat cells. Overexpression of the Rap1-specific GTPase-activating protein, SPA-1, or inactivated form of Rap1 (N17Rap1) blocked phorbol ester-stimulated adhesion of Jurkat cells to fibronectin (alpha(4)beta(1)) and ICAM-1 (alpha(L)beta(2)). With high concentrations of fibronectin as ligand, Jurkat cells adhered spontaneously without phorbol ester stimulation. Unlike the phorbol ester-stimulated adhesion, adhesion induced by high density ligand was not dependent upon Rap1 activation or actin cytoskeleton reorganization. Thus, the "inside-out" adhesion signal induced by phorbol ester and the "outside-in" signal induced by high density ligand involve different pathways.

Abstract
Dynamitin, a subunit of the microtubule-dependent motor complex, was implicated in cell adhesion by binding to MacMARCKS (Macrophage-enriched myristoylated alanine-rice C kinase substrate). However, how dynamitin is involved in cell adhesion is unclear despite the fact that both MacMARCKS and microtubules regulate beta(2) integrin activation. We report that dynamitin regulates beta(2) integrin avidity toward iC3b by modulating the lateral mobility of beta(2) integrin molecules. Using the single particle tracking method, we found that integrin molecular mobility in cells expressing the fusion protein CFP (cyan fluorescent protein)-dynamitin or CFP-MB (the MacMARCKS binding domain peptide of dynamitin) increased 6-fold over the control cells, suggesting that disturbing dynamitin function dramatically altered the cytoskeletal constraint on beta(2) integrin molecules. Further mechanistic studies revealed that overexpression of dynamitin stimulated the phosphorylation of endogenous MacMARCKS protein, which lead to the enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin. This effect of dynamitin correlates with the observation that higher concentration of PKC inhibitor is required to block beta(2) integrin mobility in dynamitin-expressing cells. Although dynamitin acts at the point of MacMARCKS phosphorylation, it is upstream of RhoA, because its effect was blocked by RhoA inhibitor. Thus, we conclude that dynamitin is a part of the cytoskeletal constraint that locks beta(2) integrin in the inactive form.

Abstract
Leukocyte-specific protein 1 (LSP1) is an intracellular filamentous-actin binding protein which modulates cell motility. The cellular process in which LSP1 functions to regulate motility is not yet identified. In this study, we show that LSP1 negatively regulates fMLP-induced polarization and chemotaxis of neutrophils through its function on adhesion via specific integrins. Using LSP1-deficient (Lsp1(-/-)) mice, we show increased neutrophil migration into mouse knee joints during zymosan-induced acute inflammation, an inflammatory model in which the number of resident synoviocytes are not affected by LSP1-deficiency. In vitro chemotaxis experiments performed by time-lapse videomicroscopy showed that purified Lsp1(-/-) bone-marrow neutrophils exhibit an increased migration rate toward a gradient of fMLP as compared with wild-type neutrophils. This difference was observed when cells migrated on fibrinogen, but not fibronectin, suggesting a role for LSP1 in modulating neutrophil adhesion by specific integrins. LSP1 is also a negative regulator of fMLP-induced adhesion to fibrinogen or ICAM-1, but not to ICAM-2, VCAM-1, or fibronectin. These results suggest that LSP1 regulates the function of Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18), which binds only to fibrinogen and ICAM-1 among the substrates we tested. fMLP-induced filamentous actin polarization is also increased in the absence of LSP1 when cells were layered on fibrinogen, but not on fibronectin. Our findings suggest that the increased neutrophil recruitment in Lsp1(-/-) mice during acute inflammation derives from the negative regulatory role of LSP1 on neutrophil adhesion, polarization, and migration via specific integrins, such as Mac-1, which mediate neutrophil responses to chemotactic stimuli.

Abstract
Central nervous system development requires precise and localized regulation of neural precursor behaviour. Here we show how the interaction between growth factor and integrin signalling pathways provides a mechanism for such precision in oligodendrocyte progenitor (OP) proliferation. While physiological concentrations of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) were not in themselves sufficient to promote OP proliferation, they did so on extracellular matrix (ECM) substrates that bind alpha(v)beta3 integrin. Upon PDGF-AA exposure and alpha(v)beta3 engagement, a physical co-association between both receptors was demonstrated, confirming the interaction between these signalling pathways. Furthermore, we found that PDGFalphaR stimulated a protein kinase C-dependent activation of integrin alpha(v)beta3, which in turn induced OP proliferation via a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent signalling pathway. These studies establish a mechanism by which OP proliferation is dependent on the availability of both an ECM ligand and a mitogenic growth factor. Growth factor- mediated integrin activation is the critical integrative step in proliferation signalling, and ensures that the response of neural precursor cells to long-range cues can be regulated by their cellular neighbours, allowing precise control of cell behaviour during development.

Abstract
In order to extravasate the bloodstream at specific sites of inflammation or antigen presentation, circulating leukocytes must rapidly translate specific adhesive and stimulatory signals into firm adhesion. Leukocyte arrest is nearly exclusively mediated by integrin receptors. Recent in vitro and in vivo evidence suggests that specialized integrins support reversible tethers that slow down selectin-initiated rolling of leukocytes prior to their arrest. In situ activation of integrin avidity by ligand and chemokine signaling can take place within fractions of seconds, resulting either in augmented reversible adhesions or immediate arrest on the vascular endothelium. The ability of leukocyte integrins to rapidly respond to these in situ avidity modulators appears to depend on preformed affinity and clustering states, which are internally regulated by cytoskeletal constraints on integrin conformation and mobility. We discuss potential regulatory mechanisms by which a given set of chemokine receptors and integrins may interact to rapidly generate high avidity, shear-resistant integrin-mediated leukocyte arrest on vascular endothelium.

Abstract
Leukocyte avidity is regulated by cytoskeletal constraints, which keep beta(2) integrins in an inactive mode. Releasing these constraints results in increased lateral mobility and clustering of integrins, effectively activating adhesion. At least part of the constraint on beta(2) integrins is due to actin; whether other cytoskeletal components are involved has not previously been investigated. Microtubules are a candidate for control of integrin rearrangement, because they modulate focal adhesions, which are sites of interaction between integrins and the cytoskeleton. Here we report that both depolymerization of microtubules by colchicine or nocodazole and stabilization of microtubules by taxol increased the lateral mobility of beta(2) integrins, activating adhesion. Increased integrin mobility was accompanied by an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin, a biochemical event associated with activation of beta(2) integrins. Further, C3 exoenzyme, an inhibitor of Rho, blocked induction of integrin mobility by nocodazole, but not by taxol, suggesting that there are multiple microtubule-dependent pathways to integrin rearrangement, only some of which require Rho activity. Taken together, our data suggest that a dynamic microtubule system is required to regulate integrin-cytoskeleton interactions. Furthermore, these data demonstrate that microtubules participate in control of integrin rearrangement, one of the earliest steps in activation of integrin-mediated adhesion.

Abstract
Mice lacking the myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate, or MARCKS protein, exhibit abnormalities consistent with a defect in the ability of neurons to migrate appropriately during forebrain development. To investigate the possibility that this phenotype could be due to disruption of normal cellular adhesion to extracellular matrix, an assay was developed in which 293 cells co-expressing MARCKS and green fluorescent protein were tested for their adhesion competence on various substrates. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting of adherent and non-adherent green fluorescent protein-expressing cells demonstrated that wild-type MARCKS inhibited adhesion of cells to fibronectin, whereas a non-myristoylated mutant did not inhibit adhesion of cells to a variety of substrates. The fibronectin competitive inhibitor RGD peptide inhibited adhesion of cells expressing all MARCKS variants equally. Cytochalasin D inhibited the adhesion of cells expressing non-myristoylated MARCKS, but did not further decrease the adhesion of cells expressing adhesion-inhibitory proteins. Confocal microscopy demonstrated the presence of inhibitory, myristoylated MARCKS at the plasma membrane, suggesting that localization at this region might be important for MARCKS to inhibit cellular adhesion. These data suggest a possible myristoylation-dependent function of MARCKS to inhibit cellular adhesion to extracellular matrix proteins, indicating a potential mechanism for the cell migration defects seen in the MARCKS-deficient mice.

Abstract
Myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS) and MARCKS-related protein (MRP) have been implicated in membrane-cytoskeletal events underlying cell adhesion, migration, secretion, and phagocytosis. In BV-2 microglial cells, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) elicited a dose-dependent increase in mRNA of both MRP (sixfold) and MARCKS (threefold) with corresponding increases in [3H]myristoylated and immunoreactive protein levels. LPS also produced significant increases in protein kinase C (PKC)-beta twofold and PKC-epsilon (1.5-fold). Pro-inflammatory cytokines produced by activated microglia (IL-1beta, IL-6, TNF-alpha) did not mimic LPS effects on MARCKS or MRP expression when added individually or in combination. LPS and IFN-gamma produced a synergistic induction of iNOS but not MARCKS or MRP. Induction of MARCKS and MRP by LPS was completely blocked by inhibitors of NF-kappaB (PDTC) and protein tyrosine kinases (herbimycin A), partially blocked by the p38 kinase inhibitor SB203580, and unaffected by the MEK inhibitor PD98059. LPS induction of iNOS was considerably more sensitive to all these inhibitors. The Src kinase inhibitor PP2 had no effect, while the closely related inhibitor PP1 actually increased LPS induction of MARCKS and MRP. Our results suggest that MARCKS and MRP may play an important role in LPS-activated microglia, but are not part of the neuroinflammatory response produced by cytokines.

Abstract
L-plastin (LPL) is a leukocyte actin binding protein previously implicated in the activation of the integrin alpha(M)beta(2) on polymorphonuclear neutrophils. To determine the role for LPL in integrin activation, K562 cell adhesion to vitronectin via alpha(v)beta(3), a well-studied model for activable integrins, was examined. Cell permeant versions of peptides based on the N-terminal sequence of LPL and the LPL headpiece domain both activated alpha(v)beta(3)-mediated adhesion. In contrast to adhesion induced by treatment with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), LPL peptide-activated adhesion was independent of integrin beta(3) cytoplasmic domain tyrosines and was not inhibited by cytochalasin D. Also in contrast to PMA, LPL peptides synergized with RGD ligand or Mn(2+) for generation of a conformational change in alpha(v)beta(3) associated with the high affinity state of the integrin, as determined by binding of a ligand-induced binding site antibody. Although LPL and ligand showed synergy for ligand-induced binding site expression when actin depolymerization was inhibited by jasplakinolide, LPL peptide-induced adhesion was inhibited. Thus, both actin depolymerization and ligand-induced integrin conformational change are required for LPL peptide-induced adhesion. We hypothesize that the critical steps of increased integrin diffusion and affinity enhancement may be linked via modulation of the function of the actin binding protein L-plastin.

Abstract
Dynamitin is a subunit of the dynactin complex regulating microtubule-dependent motor functions, and MacMARCKS (Macrophage-enriched myristoylated alanine-rich protein kinase C substrate) is a major protein kinase C substrate regulating integrin activation. The interaction between dynamitin and MacMARCKS has been implicated in integrin-dependent cell spreading. However, the in vivo interaction of these two proteins in living cells has not been demonstrated. Spatial and temporal information about the interaction is also lacking. In this study, we used the fluorescent resonance energy transfer method to demonstrate in vivo interaction between MacMARCKS and dynamitin with cyan fluorescent protein (CFP)-conjugated dynamitin as the donor fluorophore and yellow fluorescent protein (YFP)-conjugated MacMARCKS as the acceptor fluorophore. The interaction of these two fusion proteins was studied both in vitro and in vivo, and typical fluorescent resonance energy transfer was observed; the CFP emission peak increased while the YFP emission peak decreased when protein interaction was abolished. Spatial and temporal information was obtained in RAW macrophage cells. In resting macrophage cells, dynamitin-MacMARCKS interaction is concentrated at the cell periphery, although the majority of dynamitin is distributed at the perinuclear region of the cells. When cells were treated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, both proteins concentrated to perinuclear regions of the cells, and yet the interaction disappeared as the cell spread. Similar events were also observed in 293 cells. Thus, we conclude that dynamitin and MacMARCKS indeed interact in living cells.

Abstract
The leukocyte-specific beta(2) integrin lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) (alpha(L)/beta(2)) mediates activation-dependent adhesion to intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1. In leukocytes, LFA-1 requires activation by intracellular messengers to bind ICAM-1. We observed malfunctioning of LFA-1 activation in leukemic T cells and K562-transfected cells. This defective inside-out integrin activation is only restricted to beta(2) integrins, since beta(1) integrins expressed in K562 readily respond to activation signals, such as phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. To unravel these differences in inside-out signaling between beta(1) and beta(2) integrins, we searched for amino acids in the beta(2) cytoplasmic domain that are critical in the activation of LFA-1. We provide evidence that substitution of a single amino acid (L732R) in the beta(2) cytoplasmic DLRE motif, creating the DRRE motif, is sufficient to completely restore PMA responsiveness of LFA-1 expressed in K562. In addition, an intact TTT motif in the C-terminal domain is necessary for the acquired PMA responsiveness. We observed that restoration of the PMA response altered neither LFA-1 affinity nor the phosphorylation status of LFA-1. In contrast, strong differences were observed in the capacity of LFA-1 to form clusters, which indicates that inside-out activation of LFA-1 strongly depends on cytoskeletal induced receptor reorganization that was induced by activation of the Ca(2+)-dependent protease calpain.

Abstract
The activity of integrins on leukocytes is tightly controlled, and their adhesion capacity shifts rapidly when cells emigrate from the blood to the tissues. The leukocyte-specific beta2 integrin LFA-1 (alphaLbeta2) is the most important integrin expressed by leukocytes that regulate lymphocyte migration and the initiation of an immune response through binding to ICAM-1,-2 or-3. The binding activity of LFA-1 is rapidly altered by intracellular stimuli that activate LFA-1. Although alterations in the affinity of LFA-1, which leads to enhanced ICAM-1 binding, have been proposed, evidence is emerging that dynamic reorganisation of LFA-1 into microclusters is the major mechanism that regulates its binding capacity.

Abstract
Macrophage spreading requires the microtubule cytoskeleton and protein kinase C (PKC). The mechanism of involvement of the microtubules and PKC in this event is not fully understood. Dynamitin is a subunit of dynactin, which is important for linking the microtubule-dependent motor protein dynein to vesicle membranes. We report that dynamitin is a Ca(2+)/calmodulin-binding protein and that dynamitin binds directly to macrophage-enriched myristoylated alanine-rice C kinase substrate (MacMARCKS), a membrane-associated PKC substrate involved in macrophage spreading and integrin activation. Dynamitin was found to copurify with MacMARCKS both during MacMARCKS purification with conventional chromatography and during the immunoabsorption of MacMARCKS using anti-MacMARCKS antibody. Vice versa, MacMARCKS was also found to cosediment with the 20 S dynactin complex. We determined that the effector domain of MacMARCKS is required to interact with the N-terminal domain of dynamitin. MacMARCKS and dynamitin also partially colocalized at peripheral regions of macrophages and in the cell-cell border of 293 epithelial cells. Treatment with phorbol esters abolished this colocalization. Disrupting the interaction with a short peptide derived from the MacMARCKS-binding domain of dynamitin caused macrophages to spread and flatten. These data suggest that the dynamitin-MacMARCKS interaction is involved in cell spreading. Furthermore, the regulation of this interaction by PKC and Ca(2+)/calmodulin provides a possible regulatory mechanism for cell adhesion and spreading.
