Abstract
PURPOSE Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide, with dramatically increasing incidence and mortality for decades. However, current therapeutic strategies for CRC, including chemotherapies and immunotherapies, have only demonstrated limited efficacy. Here, we report a novel immune molecule, CD43, that can regulate the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) and serves as a promising target for CRC immunotherapy. METHODS The correlation of CD43 expression with CRC patient prognosis was revealed by public data analysis. CD43 knockout (KO) CRC cell lines were generated by CRISPR-Cas9 technology, and a syngenetic murine CRC model was established to investigate the in vivo function of CD43. The TIME was analyzed via immunohistochemical staining, flow cytometry and RNA-seq. Immune functions were investigated by depletion of immune subsets in vivo and T-cell functional assays in vitro, including T-cell priming, cytotoxicity, and chemotaxis experiments. RESULTS In this study, we found that high expression of CD43 was correlated with poor survival of CRC patients and the limited infiltration of CD8+ T cells in human CRC tissues. Importantly, CD43 expressed on tumor cells, rather than host cells, promoted tumor progression in a syngeneic tumor model. Loss of CD43 facilitated the infiltration of immune cells and immunological memory in the TIME of CRC tumors. Mechanistically, the protumor effect of CD43 depends on T cells, thereby attenuating T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity and cDC1-mediated antigen-specific T-cell activation. Moreover, targeting CD43 synergistically improved PD-L1 blockade immunotherapy for CRC. CONCLUSION Our findings revealed that targeting tumor-intrinsic CD43 could activate the antitumor immune response and provide particular value for optimized cancer immunotherapy by regulating the TIME in CRC patients.

Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a common, incurable disease of undefined cause. Notably, the normal cell equivalents of CLL cells remain elusive, and it is possible that the disease emanates from several normal B-cell subsets. This article reviews the literature relating to this issue, focusing on recent findings, in particular made through epigenetic analyses that strongly support the disease developing from a normal Ag-experienced and memory cell-like B lymphocyte. It also reports the known pathways whereby normal B lymphocytes mature after antigenic challenge and proposes that this information is relevant in defining the cells of origin of this disease.

Abstract
Rationale: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been demonstrated to ameliorate inflammatory bowel disease by their actions on multiple immune cells, especially on regulatory B cells (Breg cells). However, the phenotypes and functions of human MSCs (hMSCs)-treated Breg cell subsets are not yet clear. Methods: Purified B cells were cocultured with MSCs and the phenotypes and immunomodulatory functions of the B cells were analyzed by FACS and proliferation assays in vitro. Also, a trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid-induced mouse colitis model was employed to detect the function of MSC-treated Breg cells in vivo. Results: We demonstrated that coculturing with hMSCs significantly enhanced the immunomodulatory activity of B cells by up-regulating IL-10 expression. We then identified that a novel regulatory B cell population characterized by CD23 and CD43 phenotypic markers could be induced by hMSCs. The CD23+CD43+ Breg cells substantially inhibited the inflammatory cytokine secretion and proliferation of T cells through an IL-10-dependent pathway. More significantly, intraperitoneal injection of hMSCs ameliorated the clinical and histopathological severity in the mouse experimental colitis model, accompanied by an increase in the number of CD23+CD43+ Breg cells. The adoptive transfer of CD23+CD43+ B cells effectively alleviated murine colitis, as compared with the CD23-CD43- B cells. Treatment with CD23+CD43+ B cells, and not hMSCs, substantially improved the symptoms of colitis in B cell-depleted mice. Conclusion: the novel CD23+CD43+ Breg cell subset appears to be involved in the immunomodulatory function of hMSCs and sheds new light on elucidating the therapeutic mechanism of hMSCs for the treatment of inflammation-related diseases.

Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is one of the most commonly occurring adult leukemias that is associated with clonal accumulation of mature apoptosis-resistant B-cells in bone marrow, peripheral blood, and specific tissues. Different pathogenesis factors can contribute to the aggression of the clinical course in this disease. Cytogenetic abnormalities and surface biomarkers of neoplastic CLL cells can be effective in the outcome of CLL, and the examination of changing CD markers expressions in the progression of CLL can be related to the prognosis of this disease. Changing expression levels of CD markers on lymphocytes and other cells in CLL patients can play a role in the aggressive clinical outcomes such as organomegaly, immunodeficiency, and advanced disease stages through their interaction with CLL microenvironment. Given the involvement of CD markers in the pathogenesis of CLL, it can be stated that recognizing the expression changes of CD markers in the cells involved in CLL can be a proper approach to evaluate prognosis among these patients.

Abstract
The immunomodulatory capacity of mesenchymal stem or stromal cells (MSC) makes them a promising tool for treatment of immune disease and organ transplantation. The effects of MSC on B cells are characterized by an abrogation of plasmablast formation and induction of regulatory B cells (Bregs). It is, however, unknown how MSC interact with B cells under inflammatory conditions. In this study, adipose tissue-derived MSC were pretreated with 50 ng/ml IFN-γ for 96 h (MSC–IFN-γ) to simulate inflammatory conditions. Mature B cells were obtained from spleens by CD43− selection. B cells were co-cultured with MSC and stimulated with anti-IgM, anti-CD40, and IL-2; and after 7 days, B cell proliferation, phenotype, Immunoglobulin-G (IgG), and IL-10 production were analyzed. MSC did not inhibit B cell proliferation but increased the percentage of CD38high CD24high B cells (Bregs) and IL-10 production, while MSC–IFN-γ significantly reduced B cell proliferation and inhibited IgG production by B cells in a more potent fashion but did not induce Bregs or IL-10 production. Both MSC and MSC–IFN-γ required proximity to target cells and being metabolically active to exert their effects. Indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase expression was highly induced in MSC–IFN-γ and was responsible of the anti-proliferative and Breg reduction since addition of tryptophan (TRP) restored MSC properties. Immunological conditions dictate the effect of MSC on B cell function. Under immunological quiescent conditions, MSC stimulate Breg induction; whereas, under inflammatory conditions, MSC inhibit B cell proliferation and maturation through depletion of TRP. This knowledge is useful for customizing MSC therapy for specific purposes by appropriate pretreatment of MSC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Distinction between mature B-cell neoplasms can be difficult due to overlapping of immunologic features and clinical manifestations. This study investigated whether quantifying mean fluorescence intensity of four monoclonal antibodies in a flow cytometry panel is useful for the differential diagnosis and characterization of these disorders. METHODS The expressions of CD52, CD200, CD123 and CD43 were analyzed in samples from 124 patients with mature B-cell neoplasms. The quantitative estimation of these antigens was assessed by mean fluorescence intensity. RESULTS The cases included were 78 chronic lymphocytic leukemias, three atypical chronic lymphocytic leukemias, six marginal zone lymphomas, 11 splenic marginal zone lymphomas, nine lymphoplasmacytic lymphomas, six mantle cell lymphomas, two hairy cell leukemias, two hairy cell leukemias variant, five follicular lymphomas, one Burkitt lymphoma and one diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The mean fluorescence intensity of CD200 was higher in atypical chronic lymphocytic leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia and hairy cell leukemia cases. CD123 showed higher mean fluorescence intensities in hairy cell leukemia cells. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia, atypical chronic lymphocytic leukemia and mantle cell lymphoma had higher expression of CD43 and all follicular lymphoma cases had very low mean fluorescence intensity values. CD52 expression was consistently positive among all cases. CONCLUSION Quantitative evaluation of these markers can be a useful additional tool to better identify some types of mature B-cell neoplasms.

Abstract
Mesenchymal or stromal stem cells (MSC) interact with cells of the immune system in multiple ways. Modulation of the immune system by MSC is believed to be a therapeutic option for autoimmune disease and transplant rejection. In recent years, B cells have moved into the focus of the attention as targets for the treatment of immune disorders. Current B-cell targeting treatment is based on the indiscriminate depletion of B cells. The aim of this study was to examine whether human adipose tissue-derived MSC (ASC) interact with B cells to affect their proliferation, differentiation, and immune function. ASC supported the survival of quiescent B cells predominantly via contact-dependent mechanisms. Coculture of B cells with activated T helper cells led to proliferation and differentiation of B cells into CD19(+) CD27(high) CD38(high) antibody-producing plasmablasts. ASC inhibited the proliferation of B cells and this effect was dependent on the presence of T cells. In contrast, ASC directly targeted B-cell differentiation, independently of T cells. In the presence of ASC, plasmablast formation was reduced and IL-10-producing CD19(+) CD24(high) CD38(high) B cells, known as regulatory B cells, were induced. These results demonstrate that ASC affect B cell biology in vitro, suggesting that they can be a tool for the modulation of the B-cell response in immune disease.

Abstract
The serine protease autotransporter from Enterobacteriaceae (SPATE) family, which number more than 25 proteases with apparent diverse functions, have been phylogenetically divided into two distinct classes, designated 1 and 2. We recently demonstrated that Pic and Tsh, two members of the class-2 SPATE family produced by intestinal and extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli, were able to cleave a number of O-glycosylated proteins on neutrophils and lymphocytes resulting in impaired leukocyte functions. Here we show that most members of the class-2 SPATE family have lectin-like properties and exhibit differential protease activity reliant on glycoprotein type and cell lineage. Protease activity was seen in virtually all tested O-glycosylated proteins including CD34, CD55, CD164, TIM1, TIM3, TIM4 and C1-INH. We also show that although SPATE proteins bound and cleaved glycoproteins more efficiently on granulocytes and monocytes, they also targeted glycoproteins on B, T and natural killer lymphocytes. Finally, we found that the characteristic domain-2 of class-2 SPATEs is not required for glycoprotease activity, but single amino acid mutations in Pic domain-1 to those residues naturally occurring in domain-1 of SepA, were sufficient to hamper Pic glycoprotease activity. This study shows that most class-2 SPATEs have redundant activities and suggest that they may function as immunomodulators at several levels of the immune system.

Abstract
Glycosylation is a posttranslational modification of proteins playing a major role in cell signalling, immune recognition, and cell-cell interaction because of their glycan branches conferring structure variability and binding specificity to lectin ligands. Aberrant expression of glycan structures as well as occurrence of truncated structures, precursors, or novel structures of glycan may affect ligand-receptor interactions and thus interfere with regulation of cell adhesion, migration, and proliferation. Indeed, aberrant glycosylation represents a hallmark of cancer, reflecting cancer-specific changes in glycan biosynthesis pathways such as the altered expression of glycosyltransferases and glycosidases. Most studies have been carried out to identify changes in serum glycan structures. In most cancers, fucosylation and sialylation are significantly modified. Thus, aberrations in glycan structures can be used as targets to improve existing serum cancer biomarkers. The ability to distinguish differences in the glycosylation of proteins between cancer and control patients emphasizes glycobiology as a promising field for potential biomarker identification. In this review, we discuss the aberrant protein glycosylation associated with human cancer and the identification of protein glycoforms as cancer biomarkers. In particular, we will focus on the aberrant CD43 glycosylation as cancer biomarker and the potential to exploit the UN1 monoclonal antibody (UN1 mAb) to identify aberrant CD43 glycoforms.

Abstract
High-affinity memory B cells are preferentially selected during secondary responses and rapidly differentiate into antibody-producing cells. However, it remains unknown whether only high-affinity, mutated memory B cells simply expand to dominate the secondary response or if in fact memory B cells with a diverse VH repertoire, including those with no mutations, accumulate somatic mutations to create a new repertoire through the process of affinity maturation. In this report, we took a new approach to address this question by analyzing the VH gene repertoire of IgG1(+) memory B cells before and after antigen re-exposure in a host unable to generate IgG(+) B cells. We show here that both mutated and unmutated IgG1(+) memory B cells respond to secondary challenge and expand while accumulating somatic mutations in their VH genes in a stepwise manner. Both types of memory cells subsequently established a VH gene repertoire dominated by two major clonotypes, which are distinct from the original repertoire before antigen re-exposure. In addition, heavily mutated memory B cells were excluded from the secondary repertoire. Thus, both mutated and unmutated IgG1(+) memory cells equally contribute to establish a new antibody repertoire through a dynamic process of mutation and selection, becoming optimally adapted to the recall challenge.

Abstract
We evaluated the prognostic significance of CD43 (SPN), a membrane glycoprotein, in 140 patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) by tissue microarray (TMA) immunostaining, and gene expression profiling (GEP) in 43 patients. CD43 protein was expressed in 19% of the cases and was strongly related to the non-germinal centre B-cell (non-GCB) subgroup by both TMA and GEP. Patients with CD43(+) DLBCL had an inferior 3-year overall survival (OS) compared to those with CD43(-) DLBCL (50% vs. 76%, P = 0·01). Within the non-GCB subgroup, patients with CD43(+) DLBCL had a particularly poor 3-year OS (32% vs. 71%, P < 0·001). Gene set enrichment analysis within the activated B-cell subgroup revealed significant enrichment in the stromal-1 signature in CD43(-) cases. We conclude that CD43 is an adverse prognostic marker in DLBCL, and is preferentially expressed in the non-GCB subgroup. The dismal outcome of CD43(+) cases in the non-GCB subgroup may be explained, at least in part, by a less favourable microenvironment.

Abstract
During hematopoietic differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), early hematopoietic progenitors arise along with endothelial cells within the CD34(+) population. Although hESC-derived hematopoietic progenitors have been previously identified by functional assays, their phenotype has not been defined. Here, using hESC differentiation in coculture with OP9 stromal cells, we demonstrate that early progenitors committed to hematopoietic development could be identified by surface expression of leukosialin (CD43). CD43 was detected on all types of emerging clonogenic progenitors before expression of CD45, persisted on differentiating hematopoietic cells, and reliably separated the hematopoietic CD34(+) population from CD34(+)CD43(-)CD31(+)KDR(+) endothelial and CD34(+)CD43(-)CD31(-)KDR(-) mesenchymal cells. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the first-appearing CD34(+)CD43(+)CD235a(+)CD41a(+/-)CD45(-) cells represent precommitted erythro-megakaryocytic progenitors. Multipotent lymphohematopoietic progenitors were generated later as CD34(+)CD43(+)CD41a(-)CD235a(-)CD45(-) cells. These cells were negative for lineage-specific markers (Lin(-)), expressed KDR, VE-cadherin, and CD105 endothelial proteins, and expressed GATA-2, GATA-3, RUNX1, C-MYB transcription factors that typify initial stages of definitive hematopoiesis originating from endothelial-like precursors. Acquisition of CD45 expression by CD34(+)CD43(+)CD45(-)Lin(-) cells was associated with progressive myeloid commitment and a decrease of B-lymphoid potential. CD34(+)CD43(+)CD45(+)Lin(-) cells were largely devoid of VE-cadherin and KDR expression and had a distinct FLT3(high)GATA3(low)RUNX1(low)PU1(high)MPO(high)IL7RA(high) gene expression profile.

Abstract
Follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) present in lymphoid follicles play a critical role in germinal center reactions. They trap native Ags in the form of immune complexes providing a source for continuous stimulation of specific B lymphocytes. FDCs have been reported to express MHC class II molecules, suggesting an additional role in the presentation of not only native, but also processed Ag in the form of peptide-loaded MHC class II. Adoptive bone marrow transfer experiments have shown that MHC class II molecules are only passively acquired. Up to now the origin of these MHC class II molecules was not clear. Here we show by cryoimmunogold electron microscopy that MHC class II molecules are not present at the plasma membrane of FDCs. In contrast, microvesicles attached to the FDC surface contain MHC class II and other surface proteins not expressed by FDCs themselves. The size and marker profiles of these microvesicles resemble exosomes. Exosomes, which are secreted internal vesicles from multivesicular endosomes, have been shown earlier to stimulate proliferation of specific T lymphocytes in vitro, but their target in vivo remained a matter of speculation. We demonstrate here that isolated exosomes in vitro bind specifically to FDCs and not to other cell types, suggesting that FDCs might be a physiological target for exosomes.

Abstract
We confirm here the CD43 specificity of the CBF.78 monoclonal antibody (mAb) and compare its phenotypic and functional capacities to classical group-A mAbs (DFT1, MEM-59) and to 2 other CD43 mAbs (RDP/AD9, 161-46). It reacts with stable human CD43 transfectants in a sialic acid independent way and blocks completely cell binding of RDP/AD9 or 161-46 more or less but not DFT1 and MEM-59. Its distribution differs from all other CD43. B lymphocytes, but surprisingly the majority of granulocytes or monocytes are CBF.78 negative. CBF.78 is expressed on all T lymphocytes, but the number of CBF.78 molecules/cell is low and equally represented on resting T CD4 and CD8 cells. In comparison to naive T lymphocytes, CD45RO cells increase their CBF.78 epitopes much more than other CD43 epitopes. At a single cell level, confocal microscopy shows that CBF.78 can exist independently of other epitopes. CBF.78 is able to induce homotypic adhesion in different cell lines but not in peripheral blood lymphocytes and is unable to relocalise the targeted molecules. U937 cell line that is not agglutinated by CBF.78 (or RDP/AD9) undergoes a stronger adhesion with PMA, when this reagent is combined with this mAb. By itself CBF.78 is unable to activate T lymphocytes and to costimulate CD3 mAbs but partially blocks PMA. The phosphorylation of the tyrosine kinase p59fyn and p56lck, driven by CBF.78, is weak and almost blocked by PMA. Altogether these data support the hypothesis that there are at least 3 modes of interaction between PKC and CD43 pathways: each pathway is inhibitory towards the other but the CD43 one can also be synergistic.

Abstract
Attachment of cells to extracellular matrix components is critical for the regulation of hematopoiesis. CD43 is a mucin-like transmembrane sialoglycoprotein expressed on the surface of almost all hematopoietic cells. A highly extended structure of extracellular mucin with negative charge may function as a repulsive barrier to hematopoietic cells. However, some investigators have shown that CD43 has proadhesive properties, and engagement of CD43 has been reported to upregulate integrin-mediated cell adhesion in T cells. We found that cross-linking of CD43 with monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) enhanced integrin 4β1 (very late antigen [VLA]-4) and 5 β1 (VLA-5)-dependent adhesion of human cord blood CD34+ cells to fibronectin. CD34+ CD38hi, but not CD34+CD38−/low cells responded significantly to the stimulus, suggesting that committed, but not stem and more immature progenitors are sensitive to CD43-mediated activation of integrin. To elucidate the molecular mechanism leading to integrin activation, we used the growth factor-dependent cell line MO7e. Cross-linking of CD43 induced tyrosine phosphorylation of several intracellular molecules including the protein tyrosine kinase Syk, the proto-oncogene product Cbl, and phospholipase C (PLC)-γ2 in MO7e cells. Moreover, protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor herbimycin A and PLC inhibitor U73122 both blocked CD43-induced enhancement of adhesion to fibronectin. These results indicate that signals mediated through CD43 may increase integrin affinity to fibronectin via a pathway dependent on protein tyrosine kinase and PLC-γ activation in hematopoietic progenitors.

Abstract
Stimulation of tonsillar B-lymphocytes with CD40 antibodies and IL-4 leads to homotypic adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation into Ig-producing cells. It also leads to the production of IL-6, a pleiotropic cytokine involved in B-cell maturation and differentiation. To assess the importance of IL-6 in the differentiation process, an antisense oligonucleotide to IL-6 was added to tonsillar B-cells together with CD40 antibodies and IL-4. This led to clearly reduced levels of IL-6 as well as to a specific inhibition of IgE production. Also, IgG secretion was somewhat reduced while IgM appeared to be unaffected. The effects were not due to toxicity of the oligonucleotide since proliferation proceeded normally or was slightly enhanced in the presence of the antisense. The findings show that endogenous IL-6 is an important co-factor for the generation of B-cells secreting IgE and IgG but that it is not required for IgM production. They further indicate that IL-6 may not be necessary as a co-factor in CD40/IL-4 induced proliferation.

Abstract
CD43 (leukosialin), a sialylated glycoprotein expressed on the surface of most hematopoietic cells, has been implicated in cell adhesion and signaling. However, its precise physiological function remains unclear. We used mouse CD43 (mCD43)-immunoglobulin enhancer-transgenic (TG) mice to study the role of mCD43 in vivo. Previous work revealed that mCD43 expression on mature B cells in these mice resulted in immunodeficiency to T-dependent (TD) antigens (Ag), possibly by impairing B-T cell interactions. In the present study we have immunized the TG mice with the T-independent (TI) Ag fluorescein-(Fl) lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (TI type 1 Ag) and Fl-Ficoll (TI type 2 Ag). Surprisingly, the mCD43-Ig enhancer expressing mice were impaired in their ability to mount humoral responses to both Fl-LPS and Fl-Ficoll, and had decreased numbers of cells responding to Ag in vivo. Flow cytometric analysis was performed on peritoneal B-1 cells, a population which often plays a major role in humoral responses to TI Ag such as bacterial Ag. This analysis revealed similar B220, IgM and CD5 expression patterns for the TG and nontransgenic (NTG) B-1 cells. In addition, purified peritoneal B-1 cells from TG and NTG mice were able to respond to LPS. Stimulation of splenic B cells in vitro with Fl-LPS and Fl-Ficoll revealed that, in contrast to NTG B cell responses, TG B cell responses could not be enhanced by co-culture with T cells. However, soluble T cell factor enhancement of the TG B cell responses was normal. These data suggest that the mCD43 expression on B cells may inhibit cell interactions that are important for enhanced TI Ag responses. The anti-adhesive forces of mucins in general may thus be critical in regulating both TD and TI humoral responses.

Abstract
CD43 (leukosialin, sialophorin), a cell-surface associated mucin that is constitutively expressed at high levels on most leukocytes, is thought to be involved in cell activation and adhesion. We here provide evidence that the vitamin A metabolites all-trans and 13-cis retinoic acid up-regulate CD43 on human leukemic (HMC-1) mast cells, as determined by flow cytometry, Western blot analysis, and by semiquantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. Enhanced CD43 expression was accompanied by a strong increase in anti-CD43-mediated, LFA-1-dependent homotypic aggregation of HMC-1 cells, demonstrating that newly synthesized CD43 is functionally active in transmitting signals across the plasma membrane which result in enhanced cellular adhesion. CD43 expression was also enhanced in response to retinoic acids on isolated human skin mast cells and human monocytes, but not on cells of the basophilic cell line KU-812 and promyelocytic HL-60 cells, indicating that these agents might act in a cell-type specific manner. These combined result-point to a novel aspect in the regulation of CD43. Possibly, vitamin A metabolites act directly on the CD43 gene, since putative retinoic acid response elements have been detected within its regulatory regions.

Abstract
CD43 is a major surface sialoprotein on hemopoietic cells, whose extracellular domain is heavily O-glycosylated. The functional role of CD43 in the hemopoietic system is not fully understood; however, it has been suggested that CD43 may have a role in cell-cell repulsion and in modifying T cell proliferation and activation. CD43 is expressed in immature B cells in the bone marrow, but not by peripheral B cells, except for B-1 B cells and plasma cells. To analyze the biological effect of CD43 in B-lineage cells, we transfected mouse CD43 cDNA into a CD43- B cell lymphoma, WEHI 231, and the growth and survival in culture were compared to those of a parental cell line, human CD8 transfectants, and CD43- revertants established from CD43+ clones. We observed that CD43 expression supported cell growth in culture upon serum reduction, whereas growth of CD43- cell lines was barely detected under this condition. CD43- cell lines accumulated in G1 phase of the cell cycle, and the numbers of viable cells were greatly reduced during culture upon serum depletion, whereas expression of CD43 reduced the susceptibility to G1 arrest and temporarily retarded the apoptotic process, which, in turn, resulted in an increase and maintenance of the number of viable cells in culture. The results suggest that CD43 may have some role in the survival and expansion of B-lineage cells. The biological effect of CD43 was initiated without stimulation by cross-linking and was significantly impaired by replacement of the extracellular domain by the human CD8 extracellular domain. The basis of these regulatory processes is discussed.

Abstract
IgE production can be obtained in vitro by stimulating B lymphocytes with CD40 antibodies and interleukin-4 (IL-4). This stimulation also results in homotypic aggregation and cell proliferation. We have shown previously that IgE synthesis may be dependent on additional signals provided by the close cellular contact. Thus inhibition of the aggregation by lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) antibodies leads to a decrease in IgE production. In the present study we show that the inhibitory effect of LFA-1 antibodies is critically dependent on the CD40 antibody used for stimulation. Thus, while previously using the monoclonal antibody (mAb) S2C6, IgE production induced by the CD40 antibody mAb89 was generally higher and could be enhanced more than fivefold in the presence of LFA-1 antibodies. Similarly, the addition of the CD23 mAb MHM6, which blocked aggregation to a similar degree as the LFA-1 antibodies, inhibited S2C6-induced IgE production but enhanced that induced by mAb89. In contrast to these opposing effects on IgE synthesis, proliferation induced by the two CD40 antibodies was affected similarly by the blocking antibodies. As the interaction between CD23 and CD21 has been suggested to involve recognition of carbohydrate structures on CD21 by the lectin-like domain on CD23, we also tested the effect of some different sugars on IgE synthesis and proliferation. Addition of fucose-1-phosphate to anti-CD40 and IL-4-stimulated B cells completely inhibited IgE synthesis and proliferation. Inhibition was also seen with mannose-6-phosphate but not with glucose-1-phosphate. In contrast to the MHM6 antibody, the effect of the sugars was similar irrespective of the CD40 antibody used for stimulation. The study shows that different antibodies to CD40 may give rise to qualitatively distinct signals depending on the epitope recognized.

Abstract
CD43 is a cell-surface sialoglycoprotein expressed by a variety of haematopoietically derived cells, including T lymphocytes. Earlier observations of defective CD43 expression by T lymphocytes from boys with the X-chromosome-linked Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome suggested the importance of CD43 in lymphocyte function. Subsequent studies have suggested that CD43 facilitates leukocyte adhesion and has a co-stimulatory role during T-cell activation. To define the physiologically relevant function(s) of CD43, we have generated CD43-knockout mice. We report here that CD43-deficient T cells from such mice show a marked increase in their in vitro proliferative response to concanavalin A, anti-CD3, the superantigen SEB and allostimulation. Additionally, CD43-deficient T cells show a substantial enhancement in homotypic adhesion and in their ability to bind different ligands, including fibronectin and the intercellular adhesion molecule ICAM-1. Vaccinia-virus-infected CD43-knockout mice mounted an augmented anti-vaccinia cytotoxic T-cell response compared with their wild-type littermates, yet developed an increased virus load. We conclude that CD43 negatively regulates T-cell activation and adhesion and is important for viral clearance.

Abstract
CD43 antibodies are best known for identifying normal and neoplastic T cells and a subset of neoplastic B cells in paraffin sections. The frequency of nonneoplastic CD43 + B cells in different reactive settings, the proportion of B-cell neoplasms with small CD43+ populations, and the relationship of CD43+ B cells was therefore studied in 138 specimens using three-color cytometric analysis. CD43 and CD5 defined four normal B-cell subsets (CD43 + CD5 +, CD43 + CD5-, CD43 - CD5+, and CD43-CD5-). A significantly greater proportion of CD43+ B cells was found in cord blood and putative HIV+ blood samples than in normal control bloods. B-cell neoplasms derived from each of these four B-cell subsets were identified, with CD43+ /CD5+ and CD43-/CD5- neoplasms being most common. The predominant B-cell population coexpressed CD43 alone in 2/39 neoplasms and CD5 alone in four. A minority of cases showed heterogeneous CD43 expression. The B cells in two of three posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders coexpressed CD43. B cells showed weaker CD43 staining than did T-cells (relative fluorescence 0.38 +/- 0.29). These findings support the concept that CD43 expression by neoplastic B cells is not an aberrant finding. CD43 expression on normal and neoplastic B cells is independent of CD5 expression even though CD43 and CD5 are frequently coexpressed. CD43 expression by B cells sometimes might be underestimated in paraffin sections because it is much weaker than on T cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Leukosialin (also known as Ly48, CD43, and sialophorin) is a major cell surface sialoglycoprotein found on a variety of hematopoietically derived cells. The precise function of this molecule is poorly understood but it has been implicated in cell proliferation and intercellular adhesion. We developed a transgenic mouse model to assess leukosialin's function in vivo. Our approach was to alter mouse CD43 (mCD43) expression in the B-cell lineage where it is tightly regulated, by expressing it in peripheral B cells where it is normally absent. To drive expression of leukosialin in mature B cells, the immunoglobulin heavy chain enhancer was fused to the mCD43 gene. mCD43-immunoglobulin heavy chain enhancer transgenic mice display splenomegaly due to increased numbers of B cells. Transgenic B cells show a striking increase in their ability to survive in vitro compared to B cells from nontransgenic control mice. This prolonged survival is reflected in a decreased susceptibility to apoptosis. These observations suggest that mCD43 plays an important role in the regulation of B-cell survival. The alteration of the temporal expression, or "disregulation," of a gene in transgenic mice provides a general strategy for elucidating the in vivo role of other molecules involved in cell signaling and adhesion.

Abstract
B lymphocytes, the cellular source of antibody, are critical components of the immune response. They develop from multipotential stem cells, progressively acquiring the traits that allow them to function as mature B lymphocytes. This developmental program is dependent on appropriate interactions with the surrounding environment. These interactions, mediated by cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, provide the growth and differentiation signals that promote progression along the developmental pathway. This chapter addresses the properties of developing B lineage cells and the nature of the environmental signals that support B lineage progression.

Abstract
Interaction of ICAM-1 and its ligands plays an important role in the leukocyte binding to endothelium. The best characterized ICAM-ligands belong to the family of beta 2-integrins (CD11/CD18), but recently it has been suggested that CD43, a molecule with no structural resemblance to integrins binds ICAM-1 also. On the leukocytes the main regulatory pathway for ICAM-mediated binding is believed to be a short-term regulation of the avidity of CD11/CD18. In this study the authors investigated whether a quantitative increase in the surface expression of ICAM-ligands also can lead to enhanced binding to purified ICAM-1. PMA-treatment differentiates myelomonocytic cell lines into macrophages with a concomitant increase in the surface expression and mRNA-levels of the beta 2-integrin alpha- and beta-chains as well as that of CD43, another ICAM-ligand. The binding of the PMA-treated THP-1 cells to ICAM-1 was increased simultaneously compared to non-treated cells. The binding was blocked completely with antibodies to CD18 and ICAM-1. It is concluded that in addition to the transient qualitative regulation, a long-term quantitative regulation of ICAM-1 ligands also plays a role in increasing the adhesiveness of myelomonocytic cells. This may be relevant in chronic inflammation episodes.

Abstract
We have previously found that interleukin-4 and CD40 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) are strong potentiators of homotypic B cell aggregation which is dependent on LFA-1. We show here that CD23 mAb were also able to inhibit aggregation to a similar extent as LFA-1 antibodies. This inhibition was restricted to the MHM6 epitope of CD23 and antibodies to other epitopes [Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) CS-1, EBV CS-2, EBV CS-5 and mAb 25] or occupation of the Fc-binding site by IgE had no or a slightly enhancing effect on aggregation. When testing two antibodies to CD21, the recently defined ligand for CD23, one of these (BU32) was found to be inhibitory whereas the other (THB5) had no effect. By combining antibodies to LFA-1 and CD23, aggregation was often completely inhibited. These data suggest that LFA-1/ICAM-1 and CD23/CD21 are the major molecules involved in homotypic aggregation of human B cells.

Abstract
Some antibodies directed to cell surface receptors may mimic the physiological ligands by inducing the transmission of activation or growth signals. Such agonistic antibodies have proven very useful when studying functional properties of various receptor molecules on, e.g., lymphoid cells. However, while investigating the agonistic effects on tonsillar B cells of the anti-CD43 monoclonal antibody (mAb) D4B11 and the anti-CD40 mAb S2C6, we made some observations which emphasize the need for caution when using antibodies purified by protein A affinity chromatography. Both antibody preparations were found to elicit changes in the intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) as well as promoting proliferation of phorbol ester activated cells. However, a closer analysis showed that the increase in [Ca2+]i could be attributed to soluble staphylococcal protein A (SpA) desorbed during antibody purification. By using pure soluble SpA, we were able to show that nanogram amounts were sufficient to increase [Ca2+]i by a mechanism that involved both a mobilization from intracellular stores and an influx across the B cell membrane. A similar effect on cytosolic Ca2+ in B cells was also noted for streptococcal protein G (protein G), another bacterial component used for antibody purification. However, in contrast to SpA, protein G had little effect on cell proliferation. These observations suggest that the presence of trace amounts of SpA or protein G in antibodies purified on these bacterial components may lead to incorrect interpretations of the agonistic properties of such antibodies. When the above findings were taken into account, it was found that the CD43 mAb D4B11, like the CD40 mAb S2C6, stimulated growth of B cells without causing any measurable increase in [Ca2+]i. Both CD40 and CD43 may thus be coupled to signalling pathways which do not involve breakdown of membrane phosphoinositides.

Abstract
THE protein CD43 (also known as sialophorin, leukosialin, large sialoglycoprotein or gp115) is expressed on the surface of T lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, platelets and some B lymphocytes. Expression of CD43 is deficient and/or defective in the X-chromosome-linked immunodeficiency disorder Wiscott-Aldrich syndrome, suggesting that CD43 might have a role in T-cell activation. We have shown that expression of human CD43 in an HLA-DR-specific murine T-cell hybridoma enhances the antigen-specific response to stimulation by the human lymphoblastoid cell line Daudi, and that Daudi cells bind specifically to purified immobilized CD43. These data indicate that the specific interaction of CD43 with a ligand on the surface of Daudi cells might contribute to T-cell activation. Here we report evidence that intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1, or CD54), is a ligand for CD43.

Abstract
CD40 and CD43 are two cell-surface glycoproteins that appear to be functionally involved in the growth stimulation of human B cells. Whereas CD40 is structurally similar to the NGF receptor and is present on all resting B cells, CD43 displays no homology to other known proteins and is expressed only on a subpopulation of these cells. To further understand the extra- and intracellular signals regulating these molecules and in which stage of activation they may play a role, we used various activation strategies and studied their expression on tonsillar B cells. As expected, activation of protein kinase C by TPA increased both CD40 and CD43. In contrast, a rise in intracellular Ca2+, e.g. by ionomycin, did not influence the expression of these antigens. However, in the presence of TPA, ionomycin further up-regulated CD43 but not CD40. Anti-IgM behaved similarly to ionomycin suggesting that the effect of this reagent was due primarily to its ability to increase intracellular Ca2+. Of three interleukins (IL-2, IL-4 and IL-6) only IL-4 had a significant effect when used alone in that it up-regulated CD40 but not CD43. However, in the presence of anti-IgM, both IL-2 and IL-4 synergistically up-regulated the two antigens. Complementation of antigen receptor stimulation with TPA or IL-4 increased CD40 during the first 24 h, whereas up-regulation of CD43 did not occur until 24 to 48 h after stimulation. With regard both to up-regulation in response to different stimuli and to kinetics, CD40 expression paralleled that of the early activation antigen CD23, whereas CD43 was induced in parallel with the transferrin receptor (CD71). Taken together, our results suggests that the expression of CD40 and CD43 is regulated by different intracellular signals and that CD40 may be important during early activation, whereas CD43 may have its major function during later stages of B-cell differentiation. These assumptions are in line with the observations that CD40 antibodies can directly activate resting B cells and that CD43 are retained on plasma cells.

Abstract
A partial cDNA clone for mouse leukosialin was isolated by use of a rat leukosialin cDNA probe. The mouse cDNA was then used to isolate genomic clones that corresponded to the two mouse genes detected in Southern blots. One gene encoded an open reading frame for the homologue of rat leukosialin and this gene was notable for the absence of introns within the coding sequence. A lack of introns has previously been observed for the human leukosialin gene (Shelley, C. S., Remold-O'Donnell, E., Rosen, F. S. and Whitehead, A. S., Biochem. J., submitted). The other mouse gene was an intronless pseudogene for a leukosialin-related sequence. The presence of only one functional gene that lacked coding-region introns established that molecular heterogeneity in mouse leukosialin could not arise from multiple genes or alternative splicing of exons. The sequence of mouse leukosialin suggested an extracellular segment with a high content of O-linked carbohydrate, as is the case in the rat and human. In addition the mouse molecule had one possible N-linked glycosylation site. The cytoplasmic domain of 124 amino acids was highly conserved between rodent and human leukosialins for the functional genes but not for the pseudogene. This suggests an important functional role for the cytoplasmic domain.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) to human leucocyte sialoglycoprotein, CD43, have been shown to deliver mitogenic signals to human T cells or to enhance T-cell proliferation induced by concanavalin A, anti-CD3 antibodies or phorbol ester. In this paper, we studied the effects of anti-CD43 MoAb B1B6 on the activation of human B cells. Anti-CD43 MoAb B1B6 was not mitogenic by itself for human B cells. However, when added together with TPA, both resting and in vivo activated tonsillar B cells, containing 5-10% and about 35% CD43+ respectively, responded with three- to fivefold higher proliferation compared to that obtained with TPA alone. A peak in the proliferative response was reached on day 3. Optimal proliferation was obtained when the antibody was present from the start of culturing. Addition of MoAb B1B6 together with a calcium ionophore, ionomycin, did not induce B-cell proliferation. Neither did mAb B1B6 sustain the growth of B cells that were already in the cell cycle, i.e. precultured with phorbol ester (PDB) and ionomycin for 3 days. The results are similar to those obtained with antibodies to CD22 and CD23 and show that early progression signals are delivered to resting B cells through CD43 in the presence of primary activators of protein kinase C.

Abstract
The monoclonal antibody (MoAb) B1B6 to human leucocyte sialoglycoprotein, CD43, induces aggregation of T cells and delivers progression signals early during activation of both T and B cells in the presence of primary activators of protein kinase C. In this report we further studied the role of CD43 in human B-cell activation and differentiation. About 5-10% of resting tonsillar B cells are CD43+. In the presence of TPA or antibodies to CDw40, the proportions of CD43+ cells drastically increased. The expression was optimal on day 3 of culture, when up to 80% and 50%, respectively, were CD43+. Whereas MoAb B1B6 together with TPA induced a three- to fivefold higher proliferative response as compared to TPA alone, antibodies to CDw40 did not synergize with MoAb B1B6 in B-cell proliferation. Tonsillar populations depleted of CD43+ B cells responded with lower proliferation to TPA alone or to TPA and B1B6 or anti-CDw40 antibodies. MoAb B1B6 did not affect the production of IgM or IgG as induced by pokeweed mitogen in the presence of autologous T cells, from either peripheral blood or tonsillar B cells. Neither did it affect the IgG production from the CD43+ BSF-2 sensitive Epstein-Barr virus-transformed lymphoblastoid cell line CESS. The results show that CD43 is upregulated on B cells during activation. Furthermore, CD43+ B cells are included in the population which responds to signals delivered by TPA, anti-CD43 or anti-CDw40 antibodies, and the proliferation of this population is not merely due to an expansion of the small population of CD43+ cells present among these cells. Moreover, the epitopes recognized by MoAb B1B6 are not involved in the differentiation of and ultimate Ig-secretion from activated B cells.
