Abstract
Cellular migration is a tightly regulated process that involves actin cytoskeleton, adaptor proteins, and integrin receptors. Forces are transmitted extracellularly through protein complexes of these molecules, called adhesions. Adhesions anchor the cell to its substrate, allowing it to migrate. In Chinese hamster ovary cells, three classes of adhesion can be identified: nascent adhesions (NAs), focal complexes, and focal adhesions, ranked here ascendingly based on size and stability. To understand the dynamics and mechanosensitive properties of NAs, a biophysical model of these NAs as colocalized clusters of integrins and adaptor proteins is developed. The model is then analyzed to characterize the dependence of NA area on biophysical parameters that regulate the number of integrins and adaptor proteins within NAs through a mechanosensitive coaggregation mechanism. Our results reveal that NA formation is triggered beyond a threshold of adaptor protein, integrin, or extracellular ligand densities, with these three factors listed in descending order of their relative influence on NA area. Further analysis of the model also reveals that an increase in coaggregation or reductions in integrin mobility inside the adhesion potentiate NA formation. By extending the model to consider the mechanosensitivity of the integrin bond, we identify mechanical stress, rather than mechanical load, as a permissive mechanical parameter that allows for noise-dependent and independent NA assembly, despite both parameters producing a bistable switch possessing a hysteresis. Stochastic simulations of the model confirm these results computationally. This study thus provides insight into the mechanical conditions defining NA dynamics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Multiple studies have demonstrated that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ITGAM locus (including the nonsynonymous SNPs rs1143679, rs1143678, and rs1143683) are associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). ITGAM encodes the protein CD11b, a subunit of the β2 integrin Mac-1. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of ITGAM genetic variation on the biologic functions of neutrophil Mac-1. METHODS Neutrophils from ITGAM-genotyped and -sequenced healthy donors were isolated for functional studies. The phagocytic capacity of neutrophil ITGAM variants was probed with complement-coated erythrocytes, serum-treated zymosan, heat-treated zymosan, and IgG-coated erythrocytes. The adhesion capacity of ITGAM variants, in adhering to either purified intercellular adhesion molecule 1 or tumor necrosis factor α-stimulated endothelial cells, was assessed in a flow chamber. Expression levels of total CD11b and activation of CD11b were assessed by flow cytometry. RESULTS Mac-1-mediated neutrophil phagocytosis, determined in cultures with 2 different complement-coated particles, was significantly reduced in individuals with nonsynonymous variant alleles of ITGAM. This reduction in phagocytosis was related to variation at either rs1143679 (in the β-propeller region) or rs1143678/rs1143683 (highly linked SNPs in the cytoplasmic/calf-1 regions). Phagocytosis mediated by Fcγ receptors was also significantly reduced in donors with variant ITGAM alleles. Similarly, firm adhesion of neutrophils was significantly reduced in individuals with variant ITGAM alleles. These functional alterations were not attributable to differences in total receptor expression or activation. CONCLUSION The nonsynonymous ITGAM variants rs1143679 and rs1143678/rs113683 contribute to altered Mac-1 function on neutrophils. These results underscore the need to consider multiple nonsynonymous SNPs when assessing the functional consequences of ITGAM variation on immune cell processes and the risk of SLE.

Abstract
Plexins and semaphorins comprise a large family of receptor-ligand pairs controlling cell guidance in nervous, immune, and vascular systems. How plexin regulation of neurite outgrowth, lymphoid trafficking, and vascular endothelial cell branching is linked to integrin function, central to most directed movement, remains unclear. Here we show that on developing thymocytes, plexinD1 controls surface topology of nanometer-scaled β1 integrin adhesion domains in cis, whereas its ligation by sema3E in trans regulates individual β1 integrin catch bonds. Loss of plexinD1 expression reduces β1 integrin clustering, thereby diminishing avidity, whereas sema3E ligation shortens individual integrin bond lifetimes under force to reduce stability. Consequently, both decreased expression of plexinD1 during developmental progression and a thymic medulla-emanating sema3E gradient enhance thymocyte movement toward the medulla, thus enforcing the orchestrated lymphoid trafficking required for effective immune repertoire selection. Our results demonstrate plexin-tunable molecular features of integrin adhesion with broad implications for many cellular processes.

Abstract
Chemotaxis promotes neutrophil participation in cellular defense by enabling neutrophil migration to infected tissue and is controlled by persistent cell polarization. One long-standing question of neutrophil polarity has been how the pseudopod and the uropod are coordinated. In our previous report, we suggested that Rho GTPase Cdc42 controls neutrophil polarity through CD11b signaling at the uropod, albeit through an unknown mechanism. Here, we show that Cdc42 controls polarity, unexpectedly, via its effector WASp. Cdc42 controls WASp activation and its distant localization to the uropod. At the uropod, WASp regulates the reorganization of CD11b integrin into detergent resistant membrane domains; in turn, CD11b recruits the microtubule end binding protein EB1 to capture and stabilize microtubules at the uropod. This organization is necessary to maintain neutrophil polarity during migration and is critical for neutrophil emigration into inflamed lungs. These results suggest unrecognized mechanism of neutrophil polarity in which WASp mediates long-distance control of the uropod by Cdc42 to maintain a proper balance between the pseudopod and the uropod. Our study reveals a new function for WASp in the control of neutrophil polarity via crosstalk between CD11b and microtubules.

Abstract
Regulation of integrin activity enables leukocytes to circulate freely, avoiding inappropriate adhesion while maintaining the ability to adhere quickly at sites of infection or inflammation. This regulation involves at least two components: affinity for ligand and affinity-independent avidity effects such as lateral mobility. Using lymphocyte function associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) as a model, we investigated the role of integrin release from cytoskeletal motion constraints in response to the chemokine stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1α) in this process. All experiments were done in primary T cells to avoid nonphysiological activation processes often seen with the use of cell lines. We found that SDF-1α releases LFA-1 from cytoskeletal constraints as effectively as does cytochalasin D. The resultant increased diffusion is correlated with a robust increase in LFA-1-mediated adhesion under physiological shear stress. We further investigated the role of the highly conserved GFFKR sequence in the LFA-1 cytoplasmic domain. We report that the GFFKR sequence is both necessary and sufficient for regulation of the SDF-1α-triggered proadhesive release from cytoskeleton interactions. While this does not address the role of transient SDF-1α-induced conformational changes in the activation process, these results strongly suggest that any model of chemokine-induced LFA-1 activation must take into account chemokine-induced integrin lateral mobility. In addition, these results have ramifications for models of differential binding of LFA-1 to surface-bound vs. soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1.

Abstract
The broad expression pattern of the G protein-coupled P2Y receptors has demonstrated that these receptors are fundamental determinants in many physiological responses, including neuromodulation, vasodilation, inflammation, and cell migration. P2Y receptors couple either G(q) or G(i) upon activation, thereby activating different signaling pathways. Ionotropic ATP (P2X) receptors bind extracellular nucleotides, a signal which is transduced within the P2X protein complex into a cation channel opening, which usually leads to intracellular calcium concentration elevation. As such, this family of proteins initiates or shapes several cellular processes including synaptic transmission, gene expression, proliferation, migration, and apoptosis. The ever-growing range of applications for antibodies in the last 30 years attests to their major role in medicine and biological research. Antibodies have been used as therapeutic tools in cancer and inflammatory diseases, as diagnostic reagents (flow cytometry, ELISA, and immunohistochemistry, to name a few applications), and in widespread use in biological research, including Western blot, immunoprecipitation, and ELISPOT. In this article, we will showcase several of the advances that scientists around the world have achieved using the line of antibodies developed at Alomone Labs for P2Y and P2X receptors.

Abstract
Exposure to radiation from a variety of sources is associated with increased risk of heart disease and stroke. Since radiation also induces inflammation, a possible mechanism is a change in the adhesiveness of vascular endothelial cells, triggering pro-atherogenic accumulation of leukocytes. To investigate this mechanism at the cellular level, the effect of X rays on adhesiveness of cultured human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) was determined. HAECs were grown as monolayers and exposed to 0 to 30 Gy X rays, followed by measurement of adhesiveness under physiological shear stress using a flow chamber adhesion assay. Twenty-four hours after irradiation, HAEC adhesiveness was increased, with a peak effect at 15 Gy. Radiation had no significant effect on surface expression of the endothelial adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and VCAM-1. Antibody blockade of the leukocyte integrin receptors for ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, however, abolished the radiation-induced adhesiveness. Since these leukocyte integrins can be activated by chemokines presented on the endothelial cell surface, the effect of pertussis toxin (PTX), an inhibitor of chemokine-mediated integrin activation, was tested. PTX specifically inhibited radiation-induced adhesiveness, with no significant effect on nonirradiated cells. Therefore, radiation induces increased adhesiveness of aortic endothelial cells through chemokine-dependent signaling from endothelial cells to leukocytes, even in the absence of increased expression of the adhesion molecules involved.

Abstract
Upon detachment from the extracellular matrix, tumor epithelial cells and tumor-associated endothelial cells are capable of overcoming anoikis, gain survival benefits, and hence contribute to the process of metastasis. The focal-adhesion complex formation recruits the association of key adaptor proteins such as FAK (focal-adhesion kinase). Vimentin, paxillin, and talin are responsible for mediating the interaction between the actin cytoskeleton and integrins. Talin is an early-recruited focal-adhesion player that is of structural and functional significance in mediating interactions with integrin cytoplasmic tails leading to destabilization of the transmembrane complex and resulting in rearrangements in the extracellular integrin compartments that mediate integrin activation. Talin-mediated integrin activation plays a definitive role in integrin-mediated signaling and induction of downstream survival pathways leading to protection from anoikis and consequently resulting in cancer progression to metastasis. We recently reported that talin expression is significantly increased in prostate cancer compared with benign and normal prostate tissue and that this overexpression correlates with progression to metastatic disease implicating a prognostic value for talin during tumor progression. At the molecular level, talin is functionally associated with enhanced survival and proliferation pathways and confers anoikis resistance and metastatic spread of primary tumor cells via activation of the Akt survival pathway. In this review, we discuss the growing evidence surrounding the value of talin as a prognostic marker of cancer progression to metastasis and as therapeutic target in advanced prostate cancer, as well as the current understanding of mechanisms regulating its signaling activity in cancer.

Abstract
Chemerin is a potent macrophage chemoattractant protein. We used murine peritoneal exudate cells (PECs) in adhesion, flow cytometry, and confocal microscopy assays to test the hypothesis that chemerin can also contribute to inflammation by promoting macrophage adhesion. Chemerin stimulated the adhesion of PECs to the extracellular matrix protein fibronectin and to the adhesion molecule VCAM-1 within a minute, with an EC(50) of 322 and 196 pM, respectively. Experiments using pertussis toxin and PECs from ChemR23(-/-) mice demonstrated that chemerin stimulated the adhesion of macrophages via the Gi protein-coupled receptor ChemR23. Blocking Abs against integrin subunits revealed that 89% of chemerin-stimulated adhesion to fibronectin was dependent on increased avidity of the integrin VLA-5 (alpha(5)beta(1)) and that 88% of adhesion to VCAM-1 was dependent on increased avidity of VLA-4 (alpha(4)beta(1)). Although chemerin was unable to induce an increase in integrin affinity as judged by the binding of soluble ligand, experiments using confocal microscopy revealed an increase in valency resulting from integrin clustering as the mechanism responsible for chemerin-stimulated macrophage adhesion. PI3K, Akt, and p38 were identified as key signaling mediators in chemerin-stimulated adhesion. The finding that chemerin can rapidly stimulate macrophage adhesion to extracellular matrix proteins and adhesion molecules, taken together with its ability to promote chemotaxis, suggests a novel role for chemerin in the recruitment and retention of macrophages at sites of inflammation.

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

Abstract
Cell-directed changes in the ligand-binding affinity ('activation') of integrins regulate cell adhesion and migration, extracellular matrix assembly and mechanotransduction, thereby contributing to embryonic development and diseases such as atherothrombosis and cancer. Integrin activation comprises triggering events, intermediate signalling events and, finally, the interaction of integrins with cytoplasmic regulators, which changes an integrin's affinity for its ligands. The first two events involve diverse interacting signalling pathways, whereas the final steps are immediately proximal to integrins, thus enabling integrin-focused therapeutic strategies. Recent progress provides insight into the structure of integrin transmembrane domains, and reveals how the final steps of integrin activation are mediated by integrin-binding proteins such as talins and kindlins.

Abstract
Tumor immunotherapy harnesses the potential of the host immune system to recognize and eradicate neoplastic tissue. The efficiency of the immune system in mediating tumor regression depends on the induction of antigen-specific T-cell responses through physiologic immune surveillance, priming by vaccination, or following adoptive transfer of T-cells. Although a variety of tumor-associated antigens have been identified and many immunotherapeutic strategies have been tested, objective clinical responses are rare. The reasons for this include the inability of current immunotherapy approaches to generate efficient T-cell responses, the presence of regulatory cells that inhibit T-cell responses, and other tumor escape mechanisms. The activation of effector T-cells depends on interactions between the T-cell receptor (TCR) and cognate antigen presented as peptides within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and costimulatory signals delivered by CD28, which binds to B7.1 and B7.2. More recently, several new molecular receptors and ligands have been identified that integrate into stimulatory or inhibitory activity for T-cells. These signals have been loosely associated with the costimulatory molecules but actually represent a diverse group of molecular pathways that have unique and overlapping functions. This review will focus on these pathways and emphasize their role in mediating T-cell activation for the purpose of enhancing tumor immunotherapy. As we gain a better understanding of the molecular and cellular consequences of T-cell signaling through the costimulatory pathways, a more rational approach to the activation or inhibition of T-cell responses can be developed for the treatment of cancer and other immune-mediated diseases.

Abstract
Nucleotides released from cells due to stress, injury or inflammation, induce mitogenic effects in monocytes via activation of P2Y(2) nucleotide receptors (P2Y(2)Rs). Here we show that P2Y(2) nucleotide receptors in U937 monocytic cells regulate the activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK 1/2) by inducing the clustering of alpha(v) integrins. The activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase by P2Y(2)R ligands was required for alpha(v) clustering, suggesting a means whereby two different classes of receptors communicate to induce mitogenic responses in monocytic cells. P2Y(2)R-induced alpha(v) clustering was also associated with a flattened phenotype of the U937 cells, consistent with the role of the P2Y(2)R in regulating early events in cell migration.

Abstract
The integrin VLA-4 (alpha(4)beta(1)) mediates tethering and rolling events as well as firm adhesion of leukocytes to VCAM-1. Unlike selectins, VLA-4 integrin-mediated lymphocyte adhesiveness can be modulated by chemokines through intracellular signaling pathways. To investigate the effects of the chemokine stromal cell-derived factor-1alpha (SDF-1alpha) on VLA-4-mediated lymphocyte adhesion, human PBL were flowed over VCAM-1 substrates in a parallel plate flow chamber with surface-immobilized SDF-1alpha, a potent activator of firm adhesion. The initial tethering interactions had a median lifetime of 200 ms, consistent with the half-life of low-affinity VLA-4-VCAM-1 bonds. Immobilized SDF-1alpha acted within the lifetime of a primary tether to stabilize initial tethering interactions, increasing the likelihood a PBL would remain interacting with the surface. As expected, the immobilized SDF-1alpha also increased the ratio of PBL firm adhesion to rolling. An LDV peptide-based small molecule that preferentially binds high-affinity VLA-4 reduced PBL firm adhesion to VCAM-1 by 90%. The reduction in firm adhesion due to blockage of high-affinity VLA-4 was paralleled by a 4-fold increase in the fraction of rolling PBL. Chemokine activation of PBL firm adhesion on VCAM-1 depended on induction of high-affinity VLA-4 rather than recruitment of a pre-existing pool of high-affinity VLA-4 as previously thought.

Abstract
AbstractPlatelet integrins α2β1 and αIIbβ3 play critical roles in platelet adhesion and thrombus formation after vascular injury. On resting platelets, both integrins are in a low-affinity state. However, agonist stimulation results in conformational changes that enable ligand binding that can be detected with conformation dependent monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). By using such conformation-dependent mAbs, we could demonstrate that activation of integrin αIIbβ3 is not only sufficient, but also a prerequisite for α2β1 activation. Compared with platelets in plasma, stimulation of washed platelets resulted in only a minor activation of α2β1, as detected with the activation-sensitive mAb IAC-1. Addition of fibrinogen to stimulated washed platelets greatly potentiated activation of this integrin. Also, treatment of αIIbβ3 with the ligand-mimetic peptide RGDS, resulting in outside-in signaling, led to a powerful α2β1 activation, even in the absence of overall platelet activation, involving tyrosine kinase activity but no protein kinase C activation. The absolute necessity of αIIbβ3 for proper α2β1 activation on platelets was demonstrated by using the αIIbβ3 antagonist aggrastat, which was able to completely abolish α2β1 activation, both under static and flow conditions. In addition, analogous experiments with Glanzmann platelets lacking αIIbβ3 confirmed the indispensability of αIIbβ3 for α2β1 activation.

Abstract
The glycosylphosphatidyl anchored molecule CD14 to the monocyte membrane plays a prominent role in innate immunity, and the paradigms for CD14 selective signaling are beginning to be elucidated. In this study, transfected human monocytic cell line THP-1 and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) fibroblastic cells were used to examine phagocytosis of Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG). Flow cytometry was combined with molecular and biochemical approaches to demonstrate a dual mechanism for BCG internalization involving either CD14 alone or a CD14-regulated complement receptor (CR)3-dependent pathway. Phagocytosis by CD14-positive THP-1 cells was attenuated by phosphatidylinositol-3 inhibitors LY294002 and wortmannin and experiments using transfected CHO cells showed substantial accumulation of phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate at the BCG attachment site in CHO cells expressing CD14 and TLR2 suggesting that bacteria bind to CD14 and use TLR2 to initiate a PI3K signaling pathway. Additional experiments using blocking Abs showed that anti-TLR2 Abs inhibit phagocytosis of BCG by THP-1 cells. Furthermore, knockdown of cytohesin-1, a PI3K-regulated adaptor molecule for beta(2) integrin activation, specifically abrogated CD14-regulated CR3 ingestion of BCG consistent with the observation of physical association between CR3 and cytohesin-1 in cells stimulated with mycobacterial surface components. These findings reveal that mycobacteria promote their uptake through a process of "inside-out" signaling involving CD14, TLR2, PI3K, and cytohesin-1. This converts low avidity CR3 into an active receptor leading to increased bacterial internalization.

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

Abstract
The major platelet integrin, alphaIIbbeta3, is required for platelet interactions with proteins in plasma and the extracellular matrices (ECMs) that are essential for platelet adhesion and aggregation during hemo stasis and arterial thrombosis. Lig and binding to alphaIIbbeta3 is controlled by inside-out signals that modulate receptor conformation and clustering. In turn, ligand binding triggers outside-in signals through alphaIIbbeta3 that, when disrupted, can cause a bleeding diathesis. In the past 5 years there has been an explosion of knowledge about the structure and function ofalphaIIbbeta3 and the related integrin, alphaVbeta3. These developments are discussed here, and current models of bidirectional alphaIIbbeta3 signaling are presented as frameworks for future investigations. An understanding that alphaIIbbeta3 functions as a dynamic molecular scaffold for extracellular and intracellular proteins has translated into diagnostic and therapeutic insights relevant to hematology and cardiovascular medicine, and further advances can be anticipated.

Abstract
Neutrophil migration across mucosal epithelium during inflammatory episodes involves the precise orchestration of a number a cell surface molecules and signaling pathways. After successful migration to the apical epithelial surface, apically localized epithelial proteins may serve to retain PMN at the lumenal surface. At present, identification of apical epithelial ligands and their PMN counter-receptors remain elusive. Therefore, to define the existence of apical epithelial cell surface proteins involved in PMN–epithelial interactions, we screened a panel of antibodies directed against epithelial plasma membranes. This strategy identified one antibody (OE-1) that both localized to the apical cell membrane and significantly inhibited PMN transmigration across epithelial monolayers. Microsequence analysis revealed that OE-1 recognized human decay-accelerating factor (DAF, CD55). DAF is a highly glycosylated, 70–80-kD, glycosyl-phosphatidyinositol–linked protein that functions predominantly as an inhibitor of autologous complement lysis. DAF suppression experiments using antisense oligonucleotides or RNA interference revealed that DAF may function as an antiadhesive molecule promoting the release of PMN from the lumenal surface after transmigration. Similarly, peptides corresponding to the antigen recognition domain of OE-1 resulted in accumulation of PMN on the apical epithelial surface. The elucidation of DAF as an apical epithelial ligand for PMN provides a target for novel anti-inflammatory therapies directed at quelling unwanted inflammatory episodes.
