[PMID: 34854229 PMCID: PMC9160214 DOI: 10.1002/cyto.a.24522] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2021] [Revised: 11/15/2021] [Accepted: 11/17/2021] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
Recovery from pneumococcal (Spn) pneumonia induces development of tissue resident memory CD4+ TRM cells, BRM cells, and antibody secreting plasma cells in experienced lungs. These tissue resident lymphocytes confer protection against subsequent lethal challenge by serotype mismatched Spn (termed as heterotypic immunity). While traditional flow cytometry and gating strategies support premeditated identification of cells using a limited set of markers, discovery of novel tissue resident lymphocytes necessitates stable platforms that can handle larger sets of phenotypic markers and lends itself to unbiased clustering approaches. In this report, we leverage the power of full spectrum flow cytometry (FSFC) to develop a comprehensive panel of phenotypic markers that allows identification of multiple subsets of tissue resident lymphocytes in Spn-experienced murine lungs. Using Phenograph algorithm on this multidimensional data, we identify unforeseen heterogeneity in lung resident adaptive immune landscape which includes unexpected subsets of TRM and BRM cells. Further, using conventional gating strategy informed by our unsupervised clustering data, we confirm their presence exquisitely in Spn-experienced lungs as potentially relevant to heterotypic immunity and define CD73 as a highly expressed marker on TRM cells. Thus, our study emphasizes the utility of FSFC for confirmatory and discovery studies relating to tissue resident adaptive immunity.

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

Lack of Both Nucleotide-Binding Oligomerization Domain-Containing Proteins 1 and 2 Primes T Cells for Activation-Induced Cell Death. THE JOURNAL OF IMMUNOLOGY 2017; 199:1196-1205. [PMID: 28652394 DOI: 10.4049/jimmunol.1600667] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2016] [Accepted: 05/26/2017] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (Nod)-containing proteins Nod1 and Nod2 play important roles in the innate immune response to pathogenic microbes, but mounting data suggest these pattern recognition receptors might also play key roles in adaptive immune responses. Targeting Nod1 and Nod2 signaling pathways in T cells is likely to provide a new strategy to modify inflammation in a variety of disease states, particularly those that depend on Ag-induced T cell activation. To better understand how Nod1 and Nod2 proteins contribute to adaptive immunity, this study investigated their role in alloantigen-induced T cell activation and asked whether their absence might impact in vivo alloresponses using a severe acute graft versus host disease model. The study provided several important observations. We found that the simultaneous absence of Nod1 and Nod2 primed T cells for activation-induced cell death. T cells from Nod1 × 2-/- mice rapidly underwent cell death upon exposure to alloantigen. The Nod1 × 2-/- T cells had sustained p53 expression that was associated with downregulation of its negative regulator MDM2. In vivo, mice transplanted with an inoculum containing Nod1 × 2-/- T cells were protected from severe graft versus host disease. The results show that the simultaneous absence of Nod1 and Nod2 is associated with accelerated T cell death upon alloantigen encounter, suggesting these proteins might provide new targets to ameliorate T cell responses in a variety of inflammatory states, including those associated with bone marrow or solid organ transplantation.

Intracellular patterns of sialophorin expression define a new molecular classification of breast cancer and represent new targets for therapy. Br J Cancer 2013; 110:146-55. [PMID: 24281005 PMCID: PMC3887278 DOI: 10.1038/bjc.2013.526] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2013] [Revised: 08/09/2013] [Accepted: 08/13/2013] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sialophorin is a transmembrane sialoglycoprotein. Normally, the molecule is only produced by white blood cells where it regulates functions such as intercellular adhesion, intracellular signalling, apoptosis, migration and proliferation. METHODS Normal breast tissue and primary breast tumours were analysed by immunohistochemistry for sialophorin expression. The sialophorin-positive breast cancer cell line MCF7 was engineered to stably express either non-targeted or sialophorin-targeted small interfering RNA (siRNA). Assays were then performed in vitro to assess apoptosis, intracellular adhesion, transendothelial migration and cytotoxicity. An orthotopic mouse model assayed ability to produce tumours in vivo. RESULTS Normal breast epithelial cells exhibit expression of the N-terminal domain of sialophorin in the cytoplasm but not the nucleus. The majority of these normal cells are also negative for expression of the C-terminal domain. In contrast, malignant breast epithelial cells exhibit N-terminal expression both in the cytoplasm and nucleus and the majority express the C-terminus in the nucleus. Using differential patterns of intracellular expression of the N and C termini of sialophorin, we define six subtypes of breast cancer that are independent of histological and receptor status classification. Targeting sialophorin with siRNA resulted in the MCF7 breast cancer cell line exhibiting increased homotypic adhesion, decreased transendothelial migration, increased susceptibility to apoptosis, increased vulnerability to lysis by natural killer cells and decreased ability to produce tumours in mice. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that intracellular patterns of sialophorin expression define a new molecular classification of breast cancer and that sialophorin represents a novel therapeutic target.

Abstract
CD43 is a transmembrane sialoglycoprotein. Normally the molecule is only produced by white blood cells where it regulates functions such as intercellular adhesion, intracellular signaling, apoptosis, migration and proliferation. Two CD43 antibodies were used to interrogate 66 cases of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and 24 cases of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). In addition, we engineered the CD43-positive lung cancer cell line A549 to stably express either non-targeted or CD43-targeted small-interfering RNA (siRNA). These lines were then subjected to in vitro assays of apoptosis, natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity, intercellular adhesion and transendothelial migration. A xenograft mouse model evaluated the ability of the lines to grow primary tumors in vivo. CD43 was found to be expressed in the majority of both SCLC and NSCLC. Inclusive of CD43-negative tumors, differential patterns of nuclear and cytoplasmic expression of CD43 define four molecular subcategories of lung cancer. Targeting CD43 in A549 lung cancer cells, increased homotypic adhesion, decreased heterotypic adhesion and transendothelial migration, increased susceptibility to apoptosis and increased vulnerability to lysis by NK cells. Furthermore, targeting inhibited the growth of primary tumors in nude mice.

Abstract
Although well recognized that expression of E-selectin on marrow microvessels mediates osteotropism of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs), our knowledge regarding the cognate E-selectin ligand(s) on HSPCs is incomplete. Flow cytometry using E-selectin-Ig chimera (E-Ig) shows that human marrow cells enriched for HSPCs (CD34(+) cells) display greater E-selectin binding than those obtained from mouse (lin(-)/Sca-1(+)/c-kit(+) [LSK] cells). To define the relevant glycoprotein E-selectin ligands, lysates from human CD34(+) and KG1a cells and from mouse LSK cells were immunoprecipitated using E-Ig and resolved by Western blot using E-Ig. In both human and mouse cells, E-selectin ligand reactivity was observed at ~ 120- to 130-kDa region, which contained two E-selectin ligands, the P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 glycoform "CLA," and CD43. Human, but not mouse, cells displayed a prominent ~ 100-kDa band, exclusively comprising the CD44 glycoform "HCELL." E-Ig reactivity was most prominent on CLA in mouse cells and on HCELL in human cells. To further assess HCELL's contribution to E-selectin adherence, complementary studies were performed to silence (via CD44 siRNA) or enforce its expression (via exoglycosylation). Under physiologic shear conditions, CD44/HCELL-silenced human cells showed striking decreases (> 50%) in E-selectin binding. Conversely, enforced HCELL expression of LSK cells profoundly increased E-selectin adherence, yielding > 3-fold more marrow homing in vivo. These data define the key glycoprotein E-selectin ligands of human and mouse HSPCs, unveiling critical species-intrinsic differences in both the identity and activity of these structures.

Abstract
Background In addition to TCR and costimulatory signals, cytokine signals are required for the differentiation of activated CD8 T cells into memory T cells and their survival. Previously, we have shown that IL-12 priming during initial antigenic stimulation significantly enhanced the survival of activated CD8 T cells and increased the memory cell population. In the present study, we analyzed the mechanisms by which IL-12 priming contributes to activation and survival of CD8 T cells. Methods We observed dramatically decreased expression of CD43 in activated CD8 T cells by IL-12 priming. We purified CD43lo and CD43hi cells after IL-12 priming and analyzed the function and survival of each population both in vivo and in vitro. Results Compared to CD43hi effector cells, CD43lo effector CD8 T cells exhibited reduced cytolytic activity and lower granzyme B expression but showed increased survival. CD43lo effector CD8 T cells also showed increased in vivo expansion after adoptive transfer and antigen challenge. The enhanced survival of CD43lo CD8 T cells was also partly associated with CD62L expression. Conclusion We suggest that CD43 expression regulated by IL-12 priming plays an important role in differentiation and survival of CD8 T cells.

Abstract
Signals orchestrating productive CD4+ T-cell responses are well documented; however, the regulation of contraction of CD4+ T-cell effector populations following the resolution of primary immune responses is not well understood. While distinct mechanisms of T-cell death have been defined, the relative importance of discrete death pathways during the termination of immune responses in vivo remains unclear. Here, we review the current understanding of cell-intrinsic and -extrinsic variables that regulate contraction of CD4+ T-cell effector populations through multiple pathways that operate both initially during T-cell priming and later during the effector phase. We discuss the relative importance of antigen-dependent and -independent mechanisms of CD4+ T-cell contraction during in vivo responses, with a special emphasis on influenza virus infection. In this model, we highlight the roles of greater differentiation and presence in the lung of CD4+ effector T cells, as well as their polarization to particular T-helper subsets, in maximizing contraction. We also discuss the role of autocrine interleukin-2 in limiting the extent of contraction, and we point out that these same factors regulate contraction during secondary CD4+ T-cell responses.

Abstract
PURPOSE Our previous study showed that radiation exposure reduced the diversity of repertoires of memory thymus-derived cells (T cells) with cluster of differentiation (CD)- 4 among atomic-bomb (A-bomb) survivors. To evaluate the maintenance of T-cell memory within A-bomb survivors 60 years after radiation exposure, we examined functionally distinct memory CD4 T-cell subsets in the peripheral blood lymphocytes of the survivors. METHODS Three functionally different subsets of memory CD4 T cells were identified by differential CD43 expression levels and measured using flow cytometry. These subsets consist of functionally mature memory cells, cells weakly responsive to antigenic stimulation, and those cells functionally anergic and prone to spontaneous apoptosis. RESULTS The percentages of these subsets within the peripheral blood CD4 T-cell pool all significantly increased with age. Percentages of functionally weak and anergic subsets were also found to increase with radiation dose, fitting to a log linear model. Within the memory CD4 T-cell pool, however, there was an inverse association between radiation dose and the percentage of functionally mature memory cells. CONCLUSION These results suggest that the steady state of T cell memory, which is regulated by cell activation and/or cell survival processes in subsets, may have been perturbed by prior radiation exposure among A-bomb survivors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CD43 is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed in different hematopoietic cells, including some subsets of B lymphocytes. About a quarter of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) express CD43, but its prognostic significance is unknown. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed the prognostic effect of immunohistochemically determined CD43 expression in 119 patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL. All were treated with CHOP (cyclophosphamide/doxorubicin/vincristine/prednisone)-like chemotherapy, 57 without and 62 with rituximab. RESULTS A total of 31 DLBCL cases (26%) expressed CD43. Patients with CD43+ and CD43- lymphomas did not differ regarding sex, International Prognostic Index (IPI) factors and score, rituximab treatment, presence of bulky disease, or germinal center subtype. Median follow-up was 45 months. Patients with CD43+ DLBCL had significantly lower complete response rates (59% vs. 80%; P = .019), 2-year event-free survival (EFS) rates (34% vs. 64%; P = .003), and overall survival (OS) rates (45% vs. 76%; P = .002). The prognostic significance of CD43 expression was retained in multivariate analysis (relative risk [RR] 2.04; P = .013 for EFS; RR 2.17; P = .016 for OS). In subgroup analysis, the effect of CD43 expression was significant in patients treated with rituximab and those with low IPI, whereas it was not reached in patients treated without rituximab. The effect was not observed in patients with high IPI. CONCLUSION These results indicate that CD43 expression is an important independent adverse prognostic factor in DLBCL.

Abstract
CD43 is a highly glycosylated transmembrane protein expressed on the surface of most hematopoietic cells. Expression of CD43 has also been demonstrated in many human tumor tissues, including colon adenomas and carcinomas, but not in normal colon epithelium. The potential contribution of CD43 to tumor development is still not understood. Here, we show that overexpression of CD43 increases cell growth and colony formation in mouse and human cells lacking expression of either p53 or ARF (alternative reading frame) tumor-suppressor proteins. In addition, CD43 overexpression also lowers the detection of the FAS death receptor on the cell surface of human cancer cells, and thereby helps to evade FAS-mediated apoptosis. However, when both p53 and ARF proteins are present, CD43 overexpression activates p53 and suppresses colony formation due to induction of apoptosis. These observations suggest CD43 as a potential contributor to tumor development and the functional ARF-p53 pathway is required for the elimination of cells with aberrant CD43 expression.

Abstract
The contributions of different subsets of memory CD8+ T cells to recall responses at mucosal sites of infection are poorly understood. Here, we analyzed the CD8+ T cell recall responses to respiratory virus infection in mice and demonstrate that activation markers, such as CD27 and CD43, define three distinct subpopulations of memory CD8+ T cells that differ in their capacities to mount recall responses. These subpopulations are distinct from effector– and central–memory subsets, coordinately express other markers associated with activation status, including CXCR3, CD127, and killer cell lectin-like receptor G1, and are superior to CD62L in predicting the capacity of memory T cells to mediate recall responses. Furthermore, the capacity of vaccines to elicit these memory T cell subpopulations predicted the efficacy of the recall response. These findings extend our understanding of how recall responses are generated and suggest that activation and migration markers define distinct, and unrelated, characteristics of memory T cells.

Abstract
Galectin-1 kills immature thymocytes and activated peripheral T cells by binding to glycans on T cell glycoproteins including CD7, CD45, and CD43. Although roles for CD7 and CD45 in regulating galectin-1-induced death have been described, the requirement for CD43 remains unknown. We describe a novel role for CD43 in galectin-1-induced death, and the effects of O-glycan modification on galectin-1 binding to CD43. Loss of CD43 expression reduced galectin-1 death of murine thymocytes and human T lymphoblastoid cells, indicating that CD43 is required for maximal T cell susceptibility to galectin-1. CD43, which is heavily O-glycosylated, contributes a significant fraction of galectin-1 binding sites on T cells, as T cells lacking CD43 bound approximately 50% less galectin-1 than T cells expressing CD43. Although core 2 modification of O-glycans on other glycoprotein receptors is critical for galectin-1-induced cross-linking and T cell death, galectin-1 bound to CD43 fusion proteins modified with either unbranched core 1 or branched core 2 O-glycans and expression of core 2 O-glycans did not enhance galectin-1 binding to CD43 on T cells. Moreover, galectin-1 binding clustered CD43 modified with either core 1 or core 2 O-glycans on the T cell surface. Thus, CD43 bearing either core 1 or core 2 O-glycans can positively regulate T cell susceptibility to galectin-1, identifying a novel function for CD43 in controlling cell death. In addition, these studies demonstrate that different T cell glycoproteins on the same cell have distinct requirements for glycan modifications that allow recognition and cross-linking by galectin-1.

Abstract
Several recent reports have described an effector role for CD8(+) T cells during EAE. We have previously demonstrated reduced disease incidence and severity in CD43(-/-) mice following MOG immunization, and attributed this attenuation in disease progression to the effects of CD43 deficiency on CD4+ T cells. Here, we extend those studies to examine the effects of the loss of CD43 on MOG-specific CD8+ T cells. A reduced frequency of MOG-specific CD8+ T cells following immunization was observed in CD43(-/-) mice relative to wild-type controls, as demonstrated by intracellular cytokine and MHC tetramer staining. In addition, adoptive transfer of CD8+ MOG 35-55-primed LN cells from CD43(-/-) mice resulted in significantly attenuated EAE induction as compared to recipients of wild-type CD8+ MOG-primed cells. Analysis of intracellular signaling intermediates revealed a deficiency in the ability of MOG-specific CD8+ T cells to phosphorylate ERK in response to antigen. These results characterize an important role for CD43 during the activation and expansion of autoreactive MOG-specific CD8+ T cells.

Abstract
The recruitment of memory T cells from blood into tissues is a central element of immune surveillance and adaptive immune responses and a key feature of chronic cutaneous inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Human memory T cells that infiltrate skin express the carbohydrate epitope cutaneous lymphocyte-associated antigen (CLA). Expression of the CLA epitope on T cells has been described on P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) and associated with the acquisition of both E-selectin and P-selectin ligand functions. In this report, we show that CD43, a sialomucin expressed constitutively on T cells, can also be decorated with the CLA epitope and serve as an E-selectin ligand. CLA expressed on CD43 was found exclusively on the high-molecular-weight (125 kDa) glycoform bearing core-2-branched O-linked glycans. CLA+ CD43 purified from human T cells supported tethering and rolling in shear flow via E-selectin but did not support binding of P-selectin. The identification and characterization of CD43 as a T-cell E-selectin ligand distinct from PSGL-1 expands the role of CD43 in the regulation of T-cell trafficking and provides new targets for the modulation of immune functions in skin.

Abstract
Cytochrome c-specific CD4 T cells from transgenic donors transferred to syngeneic B10.A mice expand more vigorously upon immunization if exogenous IL-6 is provided during the initial phase of immunization. The resultant increase in the frequency and number of Ag-specific cells is observed in the blood, lymph nodes, spleen, liver, and lung and persists for at least 3 mo. Treatment of immunized recipients with anti-IL-6 or use of IL-6 knockout recipients reduced the frequency of Ag-specific CD4 T cells during a comparable period, indicating that IL-6 is physiologically involved in the expansion of memory and/or effector cells and thus in the persistence of memory. IL-6 did not alter the duration of Ag-presenting activity. Both CFSE dilution studies and labeling with BrdU indicated that IL-6 does not effect proliferative rates of responding CD4 T cells. By contrast, annexin V staining was diminished in responding cells from the IL-6-treated animals, particularly among those cells that had undergone five or more divisions. These results indicate that IL-6 reduces the level of apoptosis among Ag-stimulated cells; thus, it plays a central role in determining numbers of memory and/or effector CD4 T cells in response to immunization over extended periods.

Abstract
Endolyn (CD164) is a sialomucin that functions as an adhesion molecule and a negative regulator of CD34+ CD38- human haematopoietic precursor cell proliferation. The 105A5 and 103B2/9E10 CD164 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), which act as surrogate ligands, recognize distinct glycosylation-dependent classes I and II epitopes located on domain I of the native and recombinant CD164 proteins. Here, we document five new CD164 mAbs, the 96 series, that rely on conformational integrity, but not glycosylation, of exons 2- and 3-encoded CD164 domains, thereby resembling the class III mAbs, N6B6 and 67D2. Although all the 96 series class III mAbs labelled both the 105A5+ and 103B2/9E10+ cells, cross-competition and immunoblotting studies allow them to be categorized into two distinct class III subgroups, i.e. the N6B6-like subgroup that only recognizes 80-100 kDa proteins and the 67D2-like subgroup that also recognizes a higher molecular weight (>220 kDa) form. To more closely define the reactivity patterns of mAbs to the classes I and II epitopes, the global glycosylation patterns of the soluble human (h) CD164 proteins were determined using lectin binding, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry. hCD164 recombinant proteins bound to the lectins, Galanthus nivalis agglutinin, Datura stramonium agglutinin, Sambucus nigra agglutinin, Maackia amurensis agglutinin and peanut agglutinin, indicating the presence of high mannose and complex N-glycans, in addition to core 1 O-glycans (the Tn antigen) and alpha2-3 and alpha2-6 sialic acid moieties. Our HPLC and mass spectrometry results revealed both high mannose and complex N-glycosylation with various numbers of branches increasing the complexity of the glycosylation pattern. Most O-glycans were small, core 1 or 2 based. High levels of sialylation in alpha2-3 and alpha2-6 linkages, without sialyl-Lewis X, indicate that the majority of these hCD164 recombinant proteins are unable to bind to selectins in our assay system, but may interact with Siglec molecules.

Abstract
Abstract
The CD43 lymphocyte surface receptor is involved in the regulation of lymphocyte adhesion and activation. Many CD43 functions remain controversial or unclear, and it is not known to which extent CD43 signaling pathways are shared with or distinct from those used by the T-cell receptor (TCR). Here, we systematically compared signaling events and target gene expression induced by CD43 or T-cell costimulation in primary human peripheral T cells. These studies identify nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65 serine 468 as a novel inducible phosphorylation site strongly induced by T-cell costimulation and only weakly triggered by CD43 ligation. We also identified CD43 as a novel Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activator and a comprehensive analysis of further signaling events suggests that both stimuli use overlapping but also distinct signaling pathways. Microarray analysis of inflammatory genes shows 1 group of genes coregulated by both stimuli and 2 further groups of target genes affected solely by costimulation or primarily by CD43.

Abstract
CD43 has been linked to many function-associated T cell activities. Using mAbs that recognize two different CD43 determinants, we show that, although mouse small intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) expressed the CD43 core molecule reactive with mAb R2/60, only about one-half of the total IELs-including some but not all of the TCRalphabeta and TCRgammadelta cells-expressed the CD43 S7(-) reactive determinant. CD43 S7(+) IELs secreted more IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, IL-17, and IFN-gamma following anti-CD3 stimulation, and were >4-fold more cytotoxic in fresh isolates and >16-fold more cytotoxic after anti-CD3 stimulation, than S7(-) IELs. S7(+) but not S7(-) IELs from the ileum of IL-10(-/-) mice spontaneously produced IFN-gamma. In vivo BrdU uptake by IELs in non-Ag-primed mice was greatest in the S7(+) population, indicating that significantly more S7(+) IELs than S7(-) IELs undergo cell expansion under normal homeostatic conditions. DNA microarray analyses showed that S7(+) IELs expressed higher levels of genes associated with activated T cells, whereas S7(-) IELs expressed genes used in the regulation of NK cells. These findings define two functionally distinct populations of IELs based on CD43 expression independent of TCR class, and they identify a subset of IELs that may serve as a target to better control intestinal inflammation.

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

Abstract
The hallmarks of the immune response to viral infections are the expansion of antigen-specific CD8(+) cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) after they encounter antigen-presenting cells in the lymphoid tissues and their subsequent redistribution to nonlymphoid tissues to deal with the pathogen. Control mechanisms exist within CTL activation pathways to prevent inappropriate CTL responses against disseminating infections with a broad distribution of pathogen in host tissues. This is demonstrated during overwhelming infection with the noncytolytic murine lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, in which clonal exhaustion (anergy and/or deletion) of CTLs prevents immune-mediated pathology but allows persistence of the virus. The mechanism by which the immune system determines whether or not to mount a full response to such infections is unknown. Here we present data showing that the initial encounter of specific CTLs with infected cells in lymphoid tissues is critical for this decision. Whether the course of the viral infection is acute or persistent for life primarily depends on the degree and kinetics of CTL exhaustion in infected lymphoid tissues. Virus-driven CTL expansion in lymphoid tissues resulted in the migration of large quantities of CTLs to nonlymphoid tissues, where they persisted at stable levels. Surprisingly, although virus-specific CTLs were rapidly clonally exhausted in lymphoid tissues under conditions of chronic infection, a substantial number of them migrated to nonlymphoid tissues, where they retained an effector phenotype for a long time. However, these cells were unable to control the infection and progressively lost their antiviral capacities (cytotoxicity and cytokine secretion) in a hierarchical manner before their eventual physical elimination. These results illustrate the differential tissue-specific regulation of antiviral T-cell responses during chronic infections and may help us to understand the dynamic relationship between antigen and T-cell populations in many persistent infections in humans.

Abstract
Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is a mouse model of multiple sclerosis characterized by infiltration of activated CD4(+) T lymphocytes into tissues of the CNS. This study investigated the role of CD43 in the induction and progression of EAE. Results demonstrate that CD43-deficient mice have reduced and delayed clinical and histological disease severity relative to CD43(+/+) mice. This reduction was characterized by decreased CD4(+) T cell infiltration of the CNS of CD43(-/-) mice but similar numbers of Ag-specific T cells in the periphery, suggesting a defect in T cell trafficking to the CNS. The absence of CD43 also affected cytokine production, as myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) 35-55-specific CD43(-/-) CD4(+) T cells exhibited reduced IFN-gamma and increased IL-4 production. CD43(-/-) CD4(+) MOG-primed T cells exhibited reduced encephalitogenicity relative to CD43(+/+) cells upon adoptive transfer into naive recipients. These results suggest a role for CD43 in the differentiation and migration of MOG(35-55)-specific T cells in EAE, and identify it as a potential target for therapeutic intervention.

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

Abstract
Antigen-presenting cells (APC) can express surface ligands with both T cell activating and inhibitory capacities, prompting the question of how responding T cells integrate opposing trans signals concurrently delivered by APC. To address this question in a quantitative fashion, we turned to protein transfer as a unique experimental approach that is well-suited for addressing such questions from a quantitative standpoint. Costimulatory (either B7-1*Fc(gamma1) or Fc(gamma1)*4-1BBL) and pro-apoptotic (Fc(gamma1)*FasL) Fc fusion proteins were quantitatively "painted" in varying ratios onto surrogate APC pre-coated with palmitated-protein A, the latter serving as a surface anchor. Evaluating the signaling potential of these various painted cells in a standard in vitro T cell proliferation assay, we demonstrated that at a given level of TCR triggering, the quantitative balance between costimulator (B7-1 or 4-1BBL) and FasL dictates the magnitude of the proliferative T cell response. Furthermore, when the costimulator density is kept constant, there is also a quantitative balance between TCR-directed and FasL signals. Interesting species-specific nai;ve versus memory T cell subset differences emerged with regard to susceptibility to Fas-mediated apoptosis and costimulator:FasL opposition. Taken together, these data demonstrate for the first time a quantitative interplay between activating and pro-apoptotic trans signals that dictates the magnitude of T cell responses.

Abstract
The fate and functional activity of T lymphocytes depend largely on the precise timing of gene expression and protein production. However, it is clear that post-translational modification of proteins affects their functional properties. Although modifications such as phosphorylation have been intensely studied by immunologists, less attention has been paid to the impact that changes in glycosylation have on protein function. However, there is considerable evidence that glycosylation plays a key role in immune regulation. We will focus here on examples in which differential glycosylation affects the development, survival or reactivity of T cells.

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

Abstract
We purified a 70 kDa O-glycoprotein that binds to the GalNAc specific lectin from Amaranthus leucocarpus (ALLr) and determined its expression pattern on T lymphocytes from different murine lymphoid organs. High level of ALLr expression was demonstrated in 95-98% of both CD4(+)8(+) and CD4(-)8(+) thymocytes, and in 80-95% of CD8(+) T cells from peripheral blood, lymph nodes, and spleen, whereas a minor fraction of CD4(+)8(-) thymocytes (46-67%) and peripheral CD4(+) T cells (9-40%) showed low ALLr expression. Peripheral CD19(+) B cells were ALLr negative and most of the peripheral ALL(+) T cells showed a CD62L(hi)CD45RB(hi)CD44(lo/-) phenotype, indicating features of naive cells. Mitogenic activation of peripheral T cells increased 3-fold the number of ALL(+)CD4(+) T cells 24 h after stimulation, as opposed to a >80% decrease in CD8(+) T cells 72 h after stimulation. Our results suggest that ALL detects a non-described surface O-glycoprotein selectively expressed by naive CD8(+) T cells and by early activated CD4(+) T cells.

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

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

Abstract
In early stages of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (Sézary syndrome) both CD4+CD7- and CD4+CD7+ T cells clonally expand whereas in late stages of the disease CD7- cells are predominant in number, giving rise to the question whether CD7- T cells have a survival advantage in the skin. Galectin-1, a cell-bound lectin, was recently reported to trigger apoptosis in activated CD7+ T cells. Here, we demonstrate that in contrast to activated CD7(+) T cells, quiescent and activated CD69+ CD7- T cells from healthy donors and from Sézary patients are resistant to galectin-1-mediated cell death. CD7- T cells are apoptosis-resistant even during coculture with IFN-gamma-stimulated endothelial cells that constitutively express galectin-1 in high amounts. These data imply that resistance of CD7- T cells to galectin-1-induced apoptosis may contribute to the accumulation of CD7- Sézary T cells during progression of the disease.

Abstract
The involvement of CD43 in cell proliferation of murine intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) has been studied in in vitro CD3-stimulated cell cultures. In the presence of either IL-2 or IL-15, CD3 stimulation of IEL resulted in low levels of proliferation as measured by thymidine incorporation, whereas no proliferation occurred upon CD3 stimulation in the absence of cytokines. The combination of both cytokines to IEL cultures synergistically enhanced CD3-induced proliferation by approximately threefold that of cultures supplemented with either cytokine alone. Most importantly, however, proliferation of IEL was significantly greater when CD3 stimulation occurred in conjunction with CD43 triggering, indicating that CD43 functions as a coactivational signal for murine IEL. These findings indicate that a spectrum of potential proliferative responses exist among murine IEL depending on the types and combinations of signals received, and that because under normal conditions murine IEL are largely devoid of CD28 expression, a classical T-cell coactivational molecule, the capacity for high-level IEL proliferation may reside with CD43.

Abstract
Proteoglycan (PG)-induced arthritis (PGIA) is a novel autoimmune murine model for rheumatoid arthritis induced by immunization with cartilage PG in susceptible BALB/c mice. In this model, hyperproliferation of peripheral CD4(+) T cells has been observed in vitro with Ag stimulation, suggesting the breakdown of peripheral tolerance. Activation-induced cell death (AICD) is a major mechanism for peripheral T cell tolerance. A defect in AICD may result in autoimmunity. We report in this study that although CD4(+) T cells from both BALB/c and B6 mice, identically immunized with human cartilage PG or OVA, express equally high levels of Fas at the cell surface, CD4(+) T cells from human cartilage PG-immunized BALB/c mice, which develop arthritis, fail to undergo AICD. This defect in AICD in PGIA may lead to the accumulation of autoreactive Th1 cells in the periphery. The impaired AICD in PGIA might be ascribed to an aberrant expression of Fas-like IL-1beta-converting enzyme-inhibitory protein, which precludes caspase-8 activation at the death-inducing signaling complex, and subsequently suppresses the caspase cascade initiated by Fas-Fas ligand interaction. Moreover, this aberrant expression of Fas-like IL-1beta-converting enzyme-inhibitory protein may also mediate TCR-induced hyperproliferation of CD4(+) T cells from arthritic BALB/c mice. Our data provide the first insight into the molecular mechanism(s) of defective AICD in autoimmune arthritis.

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

Abstract
Currently there are few reliable cell surface markers that can clearly discriminate effector from memory T cells. To determine if there are changes in O-glycosylation between these two cell types, we analyzed virus-specific CD8 T cells at various time points after lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection of mice. Antigen-specific CD8 T cells were identified using major histocompatibility complex class I tetramers, and glycosylation changes were monitored with a monoclonal antibody (1B11) that recognizes O-glycans on mucin-type glycoproteins. We observed a striking upregulation of a specific cell surface O-glycan epitope on virus-specific CD8 T cells during the effector phase of the primary cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response. This upregulation showed a strong correlation with the acquisition of effector function and was downregulated on memory CD8 T cells. Upon reinfection, there was again increased expression of this specific O-glycan epitope on secondary CTL effectors, followed once more by decreased expression on memory cells. Thus, this study identifies a new cell surface marker to distinguish between effector and memory CD8 T cells. This marker can be used to isolate pure populations of effector CTLs and also to determine the proportion of memory CD8 T cells that are recruited into the secondary response upon reencounter with antigen. This latter information will be of value in optimizing immunization strategies for boosting CD8 T cell responses.
