CD9 co-operation with syndecan-1 is required for a major staphylococcal adhesion pathway. mBio 2023; 14:e0148223.

Abstract
Epithelial colonization is a critical first step in bacterial pathogenesis. Staphylococcus aureus can utilize several host factors to associate with cells, including α5β1 integrin and heparan sulfate proteoglycans, such as the syndecans. Here, we demonstrate that a partner protein of both integrins and syndecans, the host membrane adapter protein tetraspanin CD9, is essential for syndecan-mediated staphylococcal adhesion. Fibronectin is also essential in this process, while integrins are only critical for post-adhesion entry into human epithelial cells. Treatment of epithelial cells with CD9-derived peptide or heparin caused significant reductions in staphylococcal adherence, dependent on both CD9 and syndecan-1. Exogenous fibronectin caused a CD9-dependent increase in staphylococcal adhesion, whereas blockade of β1 integrins did not affect adhesion but did reduce the subsequent internalization of adhered bacteria. CD9 disruption or deletion increased β1 integrin-mediated internalization, suggesting that CD9 coordinates sequential staphylococcal adhesion and internalization. CD9 controls staphylococcal adhesion through syndecan-1, using a mechanism that likely requires CD9-mediated syndecan organization to correctly display fibronectin at the host cell surface. We propose that CD9-derived peptides or heparin analogs could be developed as anti-adhesion treatments to inhibit the initial stages of staphylococcal pathogenesis. IMPORTANCE Staphylococcus aureus infection is a significant cause of disease and morbidity. Staphylococci utilize multiple adhesion pathways to associate with epithelial cells, including interactions with proteoglycans or β1 integrins through a fibronectin bridge. Interference with another host protein, tetraspanin CD9, halves staphylococcal adherence to epithelial cells, although CD9 does not interact directly with bacteria. Here, we define the role of CD9 in staphylococcal adherence and uptake, observing that CD9 coordinates syndecan-1, fibronectin, and β1 integrins to allow efficient staphylococcal infection. Two treatments that disrupt this action are effective and may provide an alternative to antibiotics. We provide insights into the mechanisms that underlie staphylococcal infection of host cells, linking two known adhesion pathways together through CD9 for the first time.

Abstract
Numerous clinical studies investigated how low expression of CD9 predicts poor prognosis of solid tumor. However, the results were inconclusive. This present meta-analysis was therefore performed to determine the prognostic value of CD9 expression in solid tumors. In this meta-analysis, 25 studies involving 5,555 participants were included; the result showed strong significant associations between declined expression of CD9 and all endpoints: overall survival (OS) (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.88, 95% CI = 1.45-2.43, p < 0.000) and time to progression (TTP) (HR = 2.0, 95% CI = 1.38-2.88, p < 0.000). The subgroup analysis was also performed, which revealed that the associations between CD9 downregulated expression related to poor OS in lung cancer and head and neck cancer. Also, low expression of CD9 was significantly connected with poor TTP in patients with head and neck cancer. The adverse prognostic impact of decreased expression of CD9 was observed in patients of different ethnicities. In conclusion, these results showed that declined expression of CD9 was associated with poor survival in human solid tumors. CD9 may be a valuable prognostic predictive biomarker and a potential therapeutic target in human solid tumors.

Abstract
Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteases 1, also known as TIMP-1, is named for its well-established function of inhibiting the proteolytic activity of matrix metalloproteases. Given this function, many studies were carried out to verify if TIMP-1 was able to interrupt processes such as tumor cell invasion and metastasis. In contrast, many studies have shown that TIMP-1 expression is increased in several types of tumors, and this increase was correlated with a poor prognosis and lower survival in cancer patients. Later, it was shown that TIMP-1 is also able to modulate cell behavior through the induction of signaling pathways involved in cell growth, proliferation, and survival. The mechanisms involved in the regulation of the pleiotropic functions of TIMP-1 are still poorly understood. Thus, this review aimed to present literature data that show its ability to form a membrane complex with CD63 and β1-integrin, and point to N-glycosylation as a potential regulatory mechanism of the functions exerted by TIMP-1. This article reviewed the characteristics and functions performed individually by TIMP1, CD63, and β1-integrin, the roles of the TIMP-1/CD63/β1-integrin complex, both in a physiological context and in cancer, and the regulatory mechanisms involved in its assembly.

Abstract
It is known that tetraspanin proteins are involved in many physiological somatic cell mechanisms. Additionally, research has indicated they also have a role in various infectious diseases and cancers. This review focuses on the molecular interactions underlying the tetraspanin web formation in gametes. Primarily, tetraspanins act in the reproductive tract as organizers of membrane complexes, which include the proteins involved in the contact and association of sperm and oocyte membranes. In addition, recent data shows that tetraspanins are likely to be involved in these processes in a complex way. In mammalian fertilization, an important role is attributed to CD molecules belonging to the tetraspanin superfamily, particularly CD9, CD81, CD151, and also CD63; mostly as part of extracellular vesicles, the significance of which and their potential in reproduction is being intensively investigated. In this article, we reviewed the existing knowledge regarding the expression of tetraspanins CD9, CD81, CD151, and CD63 in mammalian spermatozoa, oocytes, and embryos and their involvement in reproductive processes, including pathological events.

Sitagliptin and the Blood-Retina Barrier: Effects on Retinal Endothelial Cells Manifested Only after Prolonged Exposure. J Diabetes Res 2020; 2020:2450781.

Abstract
Inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) are widely used to treat diabetes mellitus, but data concerning their effects on the barrier stability of retinal endothelial cells (REC) in vivo and in vitro are inconsistent. Therefore, we studied whether the barrier properties of immortalized endothelial cells of the bovine retina (iBREC) were affected by the inhibitors of DPP-4 sitagliptin (10-1000 nM) and diprotin A (1-25 μM). Their effects were also investigated in the presence of VEGF-A165 because diabetic patients often develop macular edema caused by VEGF-A-induced permeability of REC. To detect even transient or subtle changes of paracellular and transcellular flow as well as adhesion of the cells to the extracellular matrix, we continuously monitored the cell index (CI) of confluent iBREC grown on gold electrodes. Initially, the CI remained stable but started to decline significantly and persistently at 40 h or 55 h after addition of sitagliptin or diprotin A, respectively. Both inhibitors did not modulate, prevent, or revert the persistent VEGF-A165-induced reduction of the CI. Interestingly, sitagliptin and diprotin A increased the expression of the tight-junction protein claudin-1 which is an important component of a functional barrier formed by iBREC. In contrast, expressions of CD29-a subunit of the fibronectin receptor-or of the tetraspanin CD9 were lower after extended treatment with the DPP-4 inhibitors; less of the CD9 was seen at the plasma membrane after prolonged exposure to sitagliptin. Because both associated proteins are important for adhesion of iBREC to the extracellular matrix, the observed low CI might be caused by weakened attachment of the cells. From our results, we conclude that extended inhibition of DPP-4 destabilizes the barrier formed by microvascular REC and that DPP-4 inhibitors like sitagliptin do not counteract or enhance a VEGF-A165-induced barrier dysfunction as frequently observed in DME.

CD9 regulates keratinocyte differentiation and motility by recruiting E-cadherin to the plasma membrane and activating the PI3K/Akt pathway. BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-MOLECULAR CELL RESEARCH 2019; 1867:118574.

Abstract
During keratinocyte stratification and wound healing, keratinocytes undergo a switch between differentiation and motility. However, limited knowledge exists on the mechanisms of the switch. We have previously demonstrated that the expression of CD9 was changed in different wound stages and involved in the regulation of keratinocyte migration. In this study, we showed that CD9 expression was increased in both human and mouse keratinocytes undergoing differentiation. CD9 overexpression in keratinocytes stimulated terminal differentiation and reduced cell motility. CD9 silencing inhibited calcium-induced keratinocyte differentiation and increased cell motility. Furthermore, CD9 overexpression recruited E-cadherin to the plasma membrane and subsequently activated PI3K/Akt signaling, while CD9 knockdown inhibited the recruitment of E-cadherin to the plasma membrane and PI3K/Akt activation. Importantly, silencing E-cadherin expression or inhibiting PI3K/Akt signaling reversed CD9 overexpression-induced differentiation and -reduced motility. These results demonstrate that CD9 acts as an important node that regulates keratinocyte differentiation and motility. The recruitment of E-cadherin to the plasma membrane and activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway mediated by CD9 play an important role in these processes.

Abstract
Patients with extensive and deep burns who do not have enough donor sites for autologous skin grafts require alternative treatment methods. Tissue engineering is a useful tool to solve this problem. The aim of this study was to find the optimal method for the production of a biovital skin substitute based on acellular dermal matrix (ADM) and in vitro cultured fibroblasts and keratinocytes. In this work, nine methods of ADM production were assessed. The proposed methods are based on the use of the following enzymes: Dispase II, collagenase I/ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), collagenase II/EDTA, and mechanical perforation using DermaRoller and mesh dermatome. The obtained ADMs were examined (both on the side of the basement membrane and on the "cut-off" side) by means of scanning electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry tests and strength tests. ADM was revitalized with human fibroblasts and keratinocytes. The ability of in-depth revitalization of cultured fibroblasts and their ability to secrete collagen IV was examined. The obtained results indicate that the optimal method of production of live skin substitutes is the colonization of autologous fibroblasts and keratinocytes on the scaffold obtained using two-step incubation method: Trypsin/EDTA and dispase II.

Abstract
The mechanisms driving the development of extracapillary lesions in focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and crescentic glomerulonephritis (CGN) remain poorly understood. A key question is how parietal epithelial cells (PECs) invade glomerular capillaries, thereby promoting injury and kidney failure. Here we show that expression of the tetraspanin CD9 increases markedly in PECs in mouse models of CGN and FSGS, and in kidneys from individuals diagnosed with these diseases. Cd9 gene targeting in PECs prevents glomerular damage in CGN and FSGS mouse models. Mechanistically, CD9 deficiency prevents the oriented migration of PECs into the glomerular tuft and their acquisition of CD44 and β1 integrin expression. These findings highlight a critical role for de novo expression of CD9 as a common pathogenic switch driving the PEC phenotype in CGN and FSGS, while offering a potential therapeutic avenue to treat these conditions. In both focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and crescentic glomerulonephritis (CGN), kidney injury is characterised by the invasion of glomerular tufts by parietal epithelial cells (PECs). Here Lazareth et al. identify the tetraspanin CD9 as a key regulator of PEC migration, and find its upregulation in FSGS and CGN contributes to kidney injury in both diseases.

Abstract
Tetraspanins are multifunctional molecules located in specific microdomains on the plasma membrane. Thanks to their ability to form networks with other proteins they can participate in many cellular functions. Tetraspanins are part of the interactive network in gametes; however, their precise role in fertilization is not yet clear. The aim of this study was to compare the localization of CD9 and CD81 tetraspanins during oocyte maturation and early development of the embryos in bovine and porcine model. CD9 was detected on the oocyte plasma membrane and vesicles in the perivitelline space of bovine oocytes and embryos. We suggest that CD9 could be a component involved in transzonal projections. Based on the results of in vitro fertilization assay, CD9 and CD81 seem to be part of a more complex fusion network on the plasma membrane of bovine oocytes. On the other hand, both tetraspanins showed a clustered expression pattern on the plasma membrane and inner margin of zona pellucida (ZP) in porcine oocytes and embryos. We found a new species-specific pattern of CD9 and CD81 distribution in ZP which could reflect their specialized role in processes associated with cell adhesion and intercellular communication upon fertilization.

Abstract
The tetraspanin CD9 is expressed by all the major subsets of leukocytes (B cells, CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, natural killer cells, granulocytes, monocytes and macrophages, and immature and mature dendritic cells) and also at a high level by endothelial cells. As a typical member of the tetraspanin superfamily, a prominent feature of CD9 is its propensity to engage in a multitude of interactions with other tetraspanins as well as with different transmembrane and intracellular proteins within the context of defined membranal domains termed tetraspanin-enriched microdomains (TEMs). Through these associations, CD9 influences many cellular activities in the different subtypes of leukocytes and in endothelial cells, including intracellular signaling, proliferation, activation, survival, migration, invasion, adhesion, and diapedesis. Several excellent reviews have already covered the topic of how tetraspanins, including CD9, regulate these cellular processes in the different cells of the immune system. In this mini-review, however, we will focus particularly on describing and discussing the regulatory effects exerted by CD9 on different adhesion molecules that play pivotal roles in the physiology of leukocytes and endothelial cells, with a particular emphasis in the regulation of adhesion molecules of the integrin and immunoglobulin superfamilies.

Abstract
Recent evidence indicates that tetraspanin-8 (TSPAN8) promotes tumor progression and metastasis. In this study, we explored the effects of TSPAN8 and the molecular mechanisms underlying hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) metastasis using various HCC cell lines, tissues from 149 HCC patients, and animal models of HCC progression. We showed that elevated expression of TSPAN8 promoted HCC invasion in vitro and metastasis in vivo, but did not influence HCC cell proliferation in vitro. Increased TSPAN8 expression in human HCC was predictive of poor survival, and multivariate analyses indicated TSPAN8 expression to be an independent predictor for both postoperative overall survival and relapse-free survival. Importantly, TSPAN8 enhanced HCC invasion and metastasis by increasing ADAM12m expression. We therefore conclude that TSPAN8 and ADAM12m may be useful therapeutic targets for the prevention of HCC progression and metastasis.

Abstract
Dengue virus (DENV) is naturally transmitted by mosquitoes to humans, infecting cells of both hosts. Unlike in mammalian cells, DENV usually does not cause extremely deleterious effects on cells of mosquitoes. Despite this, clustered progeny virions were found to form infection foci in a high density cell culture. It is thus interesting to know how the virus spreads among cells in tissues such as the midgut within live mosquitoes. This report demonstrates that cell-to-cell spread is one way for DENV to infect neighboring cells without depending on the "release and entry" mode. In the meantime, a membrane-bound vacuole incorporating tetraspanin C189 was formed in response to DENV infection in the C6/36 cell and was subsequently transported along with the contained virus from one cell to another. Knockdown of C189 in DENV-infected C6/36 cells is shown herein to reduce cell-to-cell transmission of the virus, which may be recovered by co-transfection with a C189-expressing vector in DENV-infected C6/36 cells. Moreover, cell-to-cell transmission usually occurred at the site where the donor cell directly contacts the recipient cell. It suggested that C189 is crucially involved in the intercellular spread of progeny viral particles between mosquito cells. This novel finding presumably accounts for the rapid and efficient infection of DENV after its initial replication within tissues of the mosquito.

Downregulation of CD9 promotes pancreatic cancer growth and metastasis through upregulation of epidermal growth factor on the cell surface. Oncol Rep 2015; 34:350-8.

Abstract
The expression of CD9 has been shown to be inversely associated with pancreatic cancer metastasis but the underlying mechanism remains incompletely understood. Using the two closely associated pancreatic cancer cell lines, PaTu-8898s and PaTu-8898t, which are metastatic and non-metastatic, respectively, we showed that the PaTu-8988s cells expressed a lower level of CD9 but had higher proliferation and migration rates than the PaTu-8898t cells. An inverse correlation between CD9 expression and the cell surface level of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) was observed in both cell lines. In the PaTu-8898s cells, overexpression of CD9 decreased the cell surface expression of EGFR, associated with increased expression of dynamin-2, whereas in the PaTu-8898t cells, knockdown of CD9 with RNA interference (RNAi) increased the cell surface expression of EGFR, associated with decreased expression of dynamin-2. However, the total EGFR level did not change by manipulation of CD9 expression, suggesting that CD9 plays a role in EGFR endocytosis. Furthermore, in the PaTu-8898ts cells, CD9 overexpression decreased the cell proliferation and migration, which were reversed by EGFR overexpression, whereas in the PaTu-8898t cells, CD9 knockdown enhanced the cell proliferation and migration which were blocked by EGFR RNAi both in vitro and in vivo. Thus, in pancreatic cancer cells, downregulation of CD9 may play a role in cancer growth and metastasis through, at least in part, enhancing cell surface expression of EGFR.

Abstract
There are 33 human tetraspanin proteins, emerging as key players in malignancy, the immune system, fertilization, cellular signaling, adhesion, morphology, motility, proliferation, and tumor invasion. CD9, a member of the tetraspanin family, associates with and influences a variety of cell-surface molecules. Through these interactions, CD9 modifies multiple cellular events, including adhesion, migration, proliferation, and survival. CD9 is therefore considered to play a role in several stages during cancer development. Reduced CD9 expression is generally related to venous vessel invasion and metastasis as well as poor prognosis. We found that treatment of mice bearing human gastric cancer cells with anti-CD9 antibody successfully inhibited tumor progression via antiproliferative, proapoptotic, and antiangiogenic effects, strongly indicating that CD9 is a possible therapeutic target in patients with gastric cancer. Here, we describe the possibility of CD9 manipulation as a novel therapeutic strategy in gastric cancer, which still shows poor prognosis.

Abstract
Our previous research found that tetraspanin CD9 is downregulated in migrating epidermis during wound healing, and CD9 downregulation contributes to keratinocyte migration via matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) activation. However, little is known about the mechanisms involved in CD9-regulated keratinocyte migration and MMP-9 activation. In this study, we revealed that the expressions of integrin subunits β5 and β6 were regulated by CD9. Furthermore, CD9 silencing triggered the switch from αvβ5 to αvβ6 integrin in HaCaT keratinocytes and CD9 overexpression reversed the switch. Importantly, integrin αvβ6 functional blocking antibody 10D5 significantly inhibited CD9 silencing-induced keratinocyte migration and MMP-9 activation, suggesting that the switch from αvβ5 to αvβ6 integrin plays a key role in CD9-regulated cell migration and MMP-9 activation in keratinocytes.

Abstract
Keratinocyte migration is an early event in the wound healing process. Although we previously found that CD9 downregulation is required for the keratinocyte migration during wound repair, the mechanism of how CD9 expression is regulated remains unclear. Here, we observed the effect of hypoxia (2% O2) on CD9 expression and keratinocyte migration. CD9 expression was downregulated and keratinocyte migration was increased under hypoxic conditions. In addition, CD9 overexpression reversed hypoxia-induced cell migration. We also found that hypoxia activated the p38/MAPK pathway. SB203580, a p38/MAPK inhibitor, increased CD9 expression and inhibited keratinocyte migration under hypoxia, while MKK6 (Glu) overexpression decreased CD9 expression and promoted hypoxic keratinocyte migration. Our results demonstrate that hypoxia regulates CD9 expression and CD9-mediated keratinocyte migration via the p38/MAPK pathway.

Abstract
Human epidermal stem cells express high levels of β1 integrins, delta-like 1 (DLL1) and the EGFR antagonist LRIG1. However, there is cell-to-cell variation in the relative abundance of DLL1 and LRIG1 mRNA transcripts. Single-cell global gene expression profiling showed that undifferentiated cells fell into two clusters delineated by expression of DLL1 and its binding partner syntenin. The DLL1+ cluster had elevated expression of genes associated with endocytosis, integrin-mediated adhesion and receptor tyrosine kinase signalling. Differentially expressed genes were not independently regulated, as overexpression of DLL1 alone or together with LRIG1 led to the upregulation of other genes in the DLL1+ cluster. Overexpression of DLL1 and LRIG1 resulted in enhanced extracellular matrix adhesion and increased caveolin-dependent EGFR endocytosis. Further characterisation of CD46, one of the genes upregulated in the DLL1+ cluster, revealed it to be a novel cell surface marker of human epidermal stem cells. Cells with high endogenous levels of CD46 expressed high levels of β1 integrin and DLL1 and were highly adhesive and clonogenic. Knockdown of CD46 decreased proliferative potential and β1 integrin-mediated adhesion. Thus, the previously unknown heterogeneity revealed by our studies results in differences in the interaction of undifferentiated basal keratinocytes with their environment.

Alterations in tetraspanin CO-029 expression are associated with the progression and metastasis of cancers in the digestive system. However, how CO-029 promotes cancer metastasis is still poorly understood. To determine the mechanism, we silenced CO-029 expression in HT29 colon cancer cells and found that the CO-029 knockdown significantly reduced cell migratory ability. The diminished cell migration was accompanied by the upregulation of both integrin-dependent cell-matrix adhesion on laminin and calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion. The cell surface levels of laminin-binding integrin α3β1 and fibronectin-integrin α5β1 were increased while the level of CD44 was decreased upon CO-029 silencing. These changes contribute to the altered cell-matrix adhesion. The deregulated cell-cell adhesion results, at least partially, from increased activity of cadherins and reduced level of MelCAM. In conclusion, CO-029 functions as a regulator of both cell-matrix and cell-cell adhesion. During colon cancer progression, CO-029 promotes cancer cell movement by deregulating cell adhesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CD9 is a member of the tetraspanins, and has been shown to be involved in a variety of cellular activities such as motility, cell signaling, proliferation, adhesion, and metastasis. However, very little is known about the involvement of CD9 in the process of development of primary tumors. In the present study, we investigated whether anti-CD9 monoclonal antibody (ALB6) has antitumor effects in human gastric cancer cell xenografts. METHODS Human gastric cancer cell lines (MKN-28) (5 x 10(6) cells/animal) were inoculated subcutaneously into the dorsal region of SCID mice (five mice in each group). After a tumor was visualized, animals were assigned to either the ALB6 treatment group or the control IgG treatment group (100 microg/body/time, intravenous, three times per week. Day 1, 4, and 7 of first week). Then tumor volumes were monitored every day. Proliferation of tumor was analyzed by 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) immunostaining, apoptosis was determined by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick-end labeling (TUNEL) methods, and angiogenesis was assessed by counting the number of CD34-positive endothelial cells. RESULTS Tumor volume was significantly suppressed (1,682 +/- 683 mm(3) versus 4,507 +/- 1,012 mm(3); P = 0.049), the BrdU labeling indexes were significantly decreased (10.9 +/- 1.1% versus 17.2 +/- 1.4%; P = 0.009), the apoptotic indexes were significantly increased (1.98 +/- 0.48% versus 0.72 +/- 0.09%; P = 0.034), and tumor microvessel densities were significantly suppressed (671,922 +/- 34,505 pixels/mm(2) versus 1,135,043 +/- 36,086 pixels/mm(2); P = 0.037) in the ALB6 treatment group compared with the control IgG treatment group. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that administration of anti-CD9 antibody to mice bearing human gastric cancer cells successfully inhibits tumor progression via antiproliferative, proapoptotic, and antiangiogenetic effects.

Abstract
Tetraspanins are potentially useful molecular markers that differentiate between tumour classes and subtypes, since members of this protein family were often found to be altered during malignant conversion and tumour progression. In this study, we analysed expression of the tetraspanin CD9 in the frequent cutaneous neoplasms basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and actinic keratosis (AK), which is considered a precursor lesion (carcinoma in situ) from which an invasive SCC can develop. A moderate to strong CD9-specific staining of the tumour cells' plasma membranes was uniquely observed in all BCCs, SCCs and AKs. All SCCs showed additional intracellular CD9 which was rarely (20%) seen in AKs. Semi-quantitative assessment of CD9 present in the plasma membranes of tumour cells of BCCs (mean staining intensity 1.91) and SCCs (3.64) reflected the different CD9 expression of normal precursor cells from which these tumours most likely originate. Although considered an intermediate stage in the development of SCCs, AKs did not show intense staining of the plasma membranes typical of normal keratinocytes or invasive SCCs (p=0.011) but only moderate intensity (mean 1.63). In BCCs, significantly (p=0.0005, n=56) stronger CD9-specific immunoreactivity was seen in the inner regions of the tumours than at their sites of expansion. In summary, our results point to an important role of CD9 at the front of tumour expansion in BCCs and SCCs, and in the pathogenesis of invasive SCCs.

Abstract
Members of the tetraspanin superfamily of proteins are implicated in a variety of complex cell processes including cell fusion. However, the contribution of individual tetraspanins to these processes has proved difficult to define. Here we report the use of recombinant extracellular regions of tetraspanins to investigate the role of specific members of this family in the fusion of monocytes to form multinucleated giant cells (MGC). In contrast to their positive requirement in sperm-egg fusion, previous studies using antibodies and knockout mice have indicated a negative regulatory role for tetraspanins CD9 and CD81 in this process. In an in vitro model of fusion using human monocytes, we have confirmed observations that antibodies to CD9 and CD81 enhance MGC formation; however, in contrast to previous investigations, we found that all members of a panel of antibodies to CD63 inhibited fusion. Moreover, recombinant proteins corresponding to the large extracellular domains (EC2s) of CD63 and CD9 inhibited MGC formation, whereas the EC2s of CD81 and CD151 had no effect. The potent inhibition of fusion and binding of labelled CD63 EC2 to monocytes under fusogenic conditions suggest a direct interaction with a membrane component required for fusion. Our findings indicate that the tetraspanins CD9, CD63 and CD81 are all involved in MGC formation, but play distinct roles.

Abstract
CD9 is a member of the tetraspanins, and has been shown to be involved in a variety of cellular activities such as migration, proliferation, and adhesion. In addition, it has been known that CD9 can associate with other proteins. Here we demonstrated the physical and functional association of CD9 with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) on MKN-28 cells. Double-immunofluorescent staining and immunoprecipitation demonstrated the complex formation of CD9-EGFR and CD9-beta(1) integrin, and that both complexes are colocalized on the cell surface especially at the cell-cell contact site. Anti-CD9 monoclonal antibody ALB6 induced a dotted or patch-like aggregation pattern of both CD9-EGFR and CD9-beta(1) integrin. The internalization of EGFR after EGF-stimulation was significantly enhanced by the treatment with ALB6. CD9 can associate with EGFR in hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HepG2/CD9) and Chinese hamster ovary cancer cells (CHO-HER/CD9), which were transfected with pTJ/human EGFR/CD9. Furthermore expression of CD9 specifically attenuated EGFR signaling in CHO-HER/CD9 cells through the down regulation of surface expression of EGFR. These results suggest that CD9 might have an important role that attenuates EGFR signaling. Therefore, CD9 not only associates EGFR but also a new regulator, which may affect EGF-induced signaling in cancer cells.

Abstract
Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP1) is a survival factor of germinal center (GC) B cells, and its over-expression is correlated with aggressive B cell lymphomas and classical Hodgkin lymphomas. We previously demonstrated that TIMP1 down-regulates B-cell receptor and BCL6, and activates interleukins-6,-10 (ILs)/signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT3) signaling in GC B cells. The activation of ILs/STAT3 signaling can amplify CD44 function, and vice versa, and induce protein-tyrosine phosphatase SHP1 activity by a negative feedback mechanism. Here, we show that TIMP1 up-regulates cell surface CD44 (standard and variants 3 and 7-10) and induces the activity and nuclear localization of SHP1 in an Epstein Barr virus (EBV)-negative Burkitt lymphoma cell line, the neoplastic counterpart of GC centroblasts. These results suggest that TIMP1 functions as a differentiating and survival factor of GC B cells by modulating CD44 and SHP1 in the late centrocyte/post-GC stage, regardless of EBV infection.

Abstract
Cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix (ECM) via integrin adhesion receptors initiates signaling cascades leading to changes in cell behavior. While integrin clustering is necessary to initiate cell attachment to the matrix, additional membrane components are necessary to mediate the transmembrane signals and the cell adhesion response that alter downstream cell behavior. Many of these signaling components reside in glycosphingolipid-rich and cholesterol-rich membrane domains such as Tetraspanin Enriched Microdomains (TEMs)/Glycosynapse 3 and Detergent-Resistant Microdomains (DRMs), also known as lipid rafts. In the following article, we will review examples of how components in these membrane microdomains modulate integrin adhesion after initial attachment to the ECM. Additionally, we will present data on a novel adhesion-responsive transmembrane glycoprotein Gp140/CUB Domain Containing Protein 1, which clusters in epithelial cell-cell contacts. Gp140 can then be phosphorylated by Src Family Kinases at tyrosine 734 in response to outside-in signals-possibly through interactions involving the extracellular CUB domains. Data presented here suggests that outside-in signals through Gp140 in cell-cell contacts assemble membrane clusters that associate with membrane microdomains to recruit and activate SFKs. Active SFKs then mediate phosphorylation of Gp140, SFK and PKCdelta with Gp140 acting as a transmembrane scaffold for these kinases. We propose that the clustering of Gp140 and signaling components in membrane microdomains in cell-cell contacts contributes to changes in cell behavior.

Abstract
Dengue (Den) viruses cause apoptosis in mammalian cells, but usually result in high progeny yields without evident damage in mosquito cells. By using subtractive hybridization, 13 potentially virus-induced genes were selected in Den-2 virus-infected Aedes albopictus C6/36 cells. Based on semi-quantitative and real-time RT-PCR, one novel gene, named C189, was significantly upregulated in infected C6/36 cells. Its full-length of 678 nucleotides (nt) was determined by a combination of 5'- and 3'-RACE products. After alignment, C189 was classified as a member of the tetraspanin superfamily that typically has 2 short cytoplasmic sequences, 4 transmembrane domains, as well as small and large extracellular regions (EC1 and EC2). It contains the hallmark CCG motif in the EC2 region and additional 17 conserved nucleotides as do other tetraspanins. C189 was not upregulated by inoculation of UV-inactivated Den-2 virus to C6/36 cells. This suggests that tetraspanin upregulation is not related to virus binding to the cell surface, and that C189 does not function as a receptor for dengue virus entry. On the other hand, overexpression of C189 was concurrent with viral proteins, targeting the plasma membrane of C6/36 cells infected with Den-2 virus. It is presumably beneficial or essential for cell-to-cell spread of the virus due to the role of tetraspanins demonstrated in intercellular adhesion.

Abstract
The process of gamete fusion has been largely studied in the mouse and has revealed the crucial role of the tetraspanin CD9. By contrast, human gamete fusion remains largely unknown. We now show that an anti-α6 integrin mAb (GoH3) strongly inhibited human sperm-egg fusion in human zona-free eggs. Furthermore, a mAb directed against CD151, a tetraspanin known to associate with α6β1, partially inhibited sperm-egg fusion. By contrast, the addition of an anti-CD9 mAb to zona free eggs had no effect. The integrin α6β1, CD151 and CD9 tetraspanins were evenly distributed on human zona-intact oocytes. On zona-free eggs, the integrin α6β1 and tetraspanin CD151 patched and co-localized but the tetraspanin CD9 remained unchanged. CD9 mAb prevented α6β1 integrin clustering and gamete fusion when added prior to, but not after, zona removal. Antibody-mediated aggregation of integrin α6β1 yielded patches that were bigger and more heterogeneous in mouse oocytes lacking CD9. Moreover, a strong labelling of α6β1 could be observed at the sperm entry point. Altogether, these data show that CD9 controls the redistribution of some membrane proteins including the α6β1 integrin into clusters that may be necessary for gamete fusion.

Abstract
Tetraspanins CD9 and CD151 have been implicated in cellular motility and intercellular adhesion in several cellular types. Here, we have studied the subcellular localization and the functional role of these molecules in primary melanocytes. We found that endogenous tetraspanins preferentially clustered in areas of melanocyte homotypic intercellular contacts and at the tips of dendrites. These observations were further confirmed using time-lapse fluorescence confocal microscopy of melanocytes transfected with CD9- and CD151-GFP (green fluorescent protein) constructs, suggesting an involvement of these proteins in cellular contacts and migration. Cell adhesion and migration assays performed using blocking monoclonal antibodies against CD9 and CD151 showed no significant effect on cell-extracellular matrix adhesion, whereas the migration of melanocytes was significantly enhanced. The regulation of the migratory capacity of melanocytes by CD9 and CD151 was further confirmed knocking down the endogenous expression of these tetraspanins with small interference RNA oligonucleotides. Therefore, tetraspanin molecules are localized at motile structures in primary human melanocytes regulating the migratory capacity of these cells.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma have a poor prognosis due to the extraordinary high invasive capacity of this tumor. Altered integrin and tetraspanin expression is suggested to be an important factor. We recently reported that after protein kinase C activation, colocalization of alpha6beta4 with the tetraspanin CO-029 strongly supports migration of a rat pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The finding led us to explore whether and which integrin-tetraspanin complexes influence the motility of human pancreatic tumors. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Integrin and tetraspanin expression of pancreatic and colorectal adenocarcinoma was evaluated with emphasis on colocalization and the impact of integrin-tetraspanin associations on tumor cell motility. RESULTS The majority of pancreatic and colorectal tumors expressed the alpha2, alpha3, alpha6, beta1, and beta4 integrins and the tetraspanins CD9, CD63, CD81, CD151, and CO-029. Expression of alpha6beta4 and CO-029 was restricted to tumor cells, whereas alpha1, alpha2, alpha3, alpha6, beta1, and CD9, CD81, CD151 were also expressed by the surrounding stroma. CD63, CD81, and beta1 expression was observed at comparably high levels in healthy pancreatic tissue. alpha3beta1 frequently colocalized and coimmunoprecipitated with CD9, CD81, and CD151, whereas alpha6beta4 colocalized and coimmunoprecipitated mostly with CD151 and CO-029. Notably, protein kinase C activation strengthened only the colocalization of CD151 and CO-029 with beta4 and was accompanied by internalization of the integrin-tetraspanin complex, decreased laminin 5 adhesion, and increased cell migration. CONCLUSION alpha6beta4 is selectively up-regulated in pancreatic and colorectal cancer. The association of alpha6beta4 with CD151 and CO-029 correlates with increased tumor cell motility.

Abstract
Peritoneal dissemination is one of the main causes of death in cancer patients. Pathophysiology of metastasis has been well investigated, but the mechanism of diffuse spread of tumor colonies in the peritoneal cavity is not fully understood. CD9 is a member of tetraspanin and its down-regulation is known to be involved in poor prognosis. To investigate the significance of the down-regulation of CD9, HTOA, an ovarian carcinoma cell line that highly expressed CD9, was transiently transfected with small interfering RNA (siRNA) against CD9, and CD9-negative cells (HTOA(CD9-)) were purified. HTOA(CD9-) showed altered adhesion patterns on Matrigel, collagen, fibronectin, and laminin compared with those of control siRNA-transfected HTOA (control-HTOA). Flow cytometry and fluorescence cytostainings revealed that the expression levels of integrins beta1, alpha2, alpha3beta1, alpha5, and alpha6 were lower in HTOA(CD9-) than those of control-HTOA. HTOA(CD9-) showed altered expression of junctional and cytoskeletal molecules. By time-lapse video microscopy, control-HTOA showed solid adhesion to extracellular matrix and formed cobblestone pattern, whereas HTOA(CD9-) showed weaker adhesion and were distributed as diffuse spots. To examine whether the expression level of CD9 change during tumor dissemination, HTOA-P, a highly disseminative subclone of HTOA, was established. HTOA-P showed distinctive down-regulation of CD9 at mRNA and protein levels, and showed similar morphologic alteration as HTOA(CD9-) did. These findings indicate that the down-regulation of CD9 may be an acquired event in the process of tumor dissemination. Down-regulated CD9 may attenuate the expression of several integrins and rearrange junctional and cytoskeletal molecules that might contribute to dissemination of ovarian carcinomas.

Abstract
As observed previously, tetraspanin palmitoylation promotes tetraspanin microdomain assembly. Here, we show that palmitoylated integrins (α3, α6, and β4 subunits) and tetraspanins (CD9, CD81, and CD63) coexist in substantially overlapping complexes. Removal of β4 palmitoylation sites markedly impaired cell spreading and signaling through p130Cas on laminin substrate. Also in palmitoylation-deficient β4, secondary associations with tetraspanins (CD9, CD81, and CD63) were diminished and cell surface CD9 clustering was decreased, whereas core α6β4–CD151 complex formation was unaltered. There is also a functional connection between CD9 and β4 integrins, as evidenced by anti-CD9 antibody effects on β4-dependent cell spreading. Notably, β4 palmitoylation neither increased localization into “light membrane” fractions of sucrose gradients nor decreased solubility in nonionic detergents—hence it does not promote lipid raft association. Instead, palmitoylation of β4 (and of the closely associated tetraspanin CD151) promotes CD151–α6β4 incorporation into a network of secondary tetraspanin interactions (with CD9, CD81, CD63, etc.), which provides a novel framework for functional regulation.

Abstract
CD9, a member of the tetraspanin family, has been shown to be involved in a range of cellular activities, including migration, proliferation and adhesion, but the molecular mechanisms by which it mediates such events is unclear. Here, we found that anti-CD9 monoclonal antibody ALB6 inhibited cell proliferation, reduced cell viability and induced not only morphological changes specific to apoptosis but also molecular changes, as evidenced by TUNEL and annexin-V staining. For the possible mechanism of ALB6-induced apoptosis, ALB6 activated the c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase/stress-activated protein kinase (JNK/SAPK) and p38 mitogen-activated-protein kinase (MAPK) within 5-15 minutes, as well as caspase-3 within 24-48 hours. It is noteworthy that ALB6 induced tyrosine phosphorylation of the p46 Shc isoform specifically and that the overexpression of its dominant-negative form completely suppressed the ALB6-induced activation of JNK/SAPK, p38 MAPK and caspase-3, resulting in the inhibition of apoptotic cell death. These results suggest that CD9 might regulate apoptosis through the specialized signals in human cancer cell lines.

Abstract
It is well established that the large array of functions that a tumour cell has to fulfil to settle as a metastasis in a distant organ requires cooperative activities between the tumour and the surrounding tissue and that several classes of molecules are involved, such as cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion molecules and matrix degrading enzymes, to name only a few. Furthermore, metastasis formation requires concerted activities between tumour cells and surrounding cells as well as matrix elements and possibly concerted activities between individual molecules of the tumour cell itself. Adhesion molecules have originally been thought to be essential for the formation of multicellular organisms and to tether cells to the extracellular matrix or to neighbouring cells. CD44 transmembrane glycoproteins belong to the families of adhesion molecules and have originally been described to mediate lymphocyte homing to peripheral lymphoid tissues. It was soon recognized that the molecules, under selective conditions, may suffice to initiate metastatic spread of tumour cells. The question remained as to how a single adhesion molecule can fulfil that task. This review outlines that adhesion is by no means a passive task. Rather, ligand binding, as exemplified for CD44 and other similar adhesion molecules, initiates a cascade of events that can be started by adherence to the extracellular matrix. This leads to activation of the molecule itself, binding to additional ligands, such as growth factors and matrix degrading enzymes, complex formation with additional transmembrane molecules and association with cytoskeletal elements and signal transducing molecules. Thus, through the interplay of CD44 with its ligands and associating molecules CD44 modulates adhesiveness, motility, matrix degradation, proliferation and cell survival, features that together may well allow a tumour cell to proceed through all steps of the metastatic cascade.

Abstract
The metastasizing subline of the rat pancreatic adenocarcinoma BSp73 expresses a set of membrane molecules, the combination of which has not been detected on non-metastasizing tumor lines. Hence, it became of interest whether these molecules function independently or may associate and exert specialized functions as membrane complexes. Separation of CD44v4-v7 containing membrane complexes in mild detergent revealed an association with the alpha3 integrin, annexin I, EpCAM, and the tetraspanins D6.1A and CD9. EpCAM and the tetraspanins associate selectively with CD44 variant (CD44v), but not with the CD44 standard (CD44s) isoform. The complexes are found in glycolipid-enriched membrane (GEM) microdomains, which are dissolved by stringent detergents, but the complexes are not destroyed by methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MbetaCD) treatment, which implies that complex formation does not depend on a lipid-rich microenvironment. However, a complex-associated impact on cell-matrix and cell-cell adhesion as well as on resistance towards apoptosis essentially depended on the location in GEMs. Thus, CD44v-specific functions may well be brought about by complex formation of CD44v with EpCAM, the tetraspanins, and the alpha3 integrin. Because CD44v4-v7-EpCAM complex-specific functions strictly depended on the GEM localization, linker or signal-transducing molecules associating with the complex are likely located in GEMs.

Abstract
Alpha3beta1 integrin has been considered to be a mysterious adhesion molecule due to the pleiotropy in its ligand-binding specificity. However, recent studies have identified laminin isoforms as high-affinity ligands for this integrin, and demonstrated that alpha3beta1 integrin plays a number of essential roles in development and differentiation, mainly by mediating the establishment and maintenance of epithelial tissues. Furthermore, alpha3beta1 integrin is also implicated in many other biological phenomena, including cell growth and apoptosis, angiogenesis and neural functions. This integrin receptor forms complexes with various other membrane proteins, such as the transmembrane-4 superfamily proteins (tetraspanins), cytoskeletal proteins and signaling molecules. Recently, lines of evidence have been reported showing that complex formation regulates integrin functions in cell adhesion and migration, signal transduction across cell membranes, and cytoskeletal organization. In addition to these roles in physiological processes, alpha3beta1 integrin performs crucial functions in various pathological processes, especially in wound healing, tumor invasion and metastasis, and infection by pathogenic microorganisms.

Abstract
The metastatic subline of a rat pancreatic adenocarcinoma differs from the non-metastasizing subline by overexpression of 5 membrane molecules: CD44 variant isoforms, EpCAM, the tetraspanin D6.1A, an uPAR-related molecule and, as described here, the alpha6beta4 integrin. An antibody-defined molecule was identified by mass spectrometry and cloning as alpha6beta4 integrin. Transfection-induced expression of alpha6beta4 in the non-metastasizing subline did not support migration on laminin 5 or tumor progression. However, when the non-metastasizing subline was doubly transfected to express alpha6beta4 and the D6.1A tetraspanin, intraperitoneally injected tumor cells frequently formed liver metastasis. For the following reasons we assume that metastasis formation is supported by an interaction between alpha6beta4 and D6.1A. (i) The 2 molecules can associate and co-localize. (ii) Co-localization is strengthened by PKC stimulation. (iii) PKC stimulation, which induces a migratory phenotype, leads to a redistribution of alpha6beta4/D6.1A complexes. In resting cells, the molecules co-localize at the trail of the cell; during PKC stimulation they become transiently internalized and are (re-)expressed in the leading lamella. Thus, in the appropriate milieu, i.e. intraperitoneally, alpha6beta4 changes from an adhesion-supporting towards a migration-supporting molecule by its association with a tetraspanin. The findings provide a convincing experimental explanation for the repeatedly described involvement of alpha6beta4 in tumor progression.

Abstract
Tetraspanins CD9 and CD81 facilitate the fusion between gametes, myoblasts, or virus-infected cells. Here, we investigated the role of these tetraspanins in the fusion of mononuclear phagocytes. Expression of CD9 and CD81 and their complex formation with integrins were up-regulated when blood monocytes were cultured under normal conditions. Under fusogenic conditions in the presence of Con A, CD9 and CD81 up-regulation was inhibited, and their complex formation with integrins was down-regulated. Anti-CD9 and -CD81 antibodies, which were previously shown to inhibit the fusion of gametes, myoblasts, and virus-infected cells, unexpectedly promoted the fusion of monocytes and alveolar macrophages. However, these effects were not due to altered cell adhesion, aggregation, or cytokine production. When stimulated in vitro or in vivo, alveolar macrophages and bone marrow cells of CD9- and CD81-null mice formed larger numbers of multinucleated cells than those of wild-type mice. Finally, CD9/CD81 double-null mice spontaneously developed multinucleated giant cells in the lung and showed enhanced osteoclastogenesis in the bone. These results suggest that CD9 and CD81 coordinately prevent the fusion of mononuclear phagocytes.

Abstract
Tetraspanins modulate the function of a variety of membrane proteins, including integrin receptors. We show here that the tetraspanin CD9 preferentially coimmunoprecipitates with the alpha6beta1 integrin heterodimer in F9-derived parietal endoderm cells in comparison to F9 stem cells. We also show that CD9 function-blocking antibody inhibits parietal endoderm migration in an embryoid body outgrowth assay. In addition, both CD9 and alpha6beta1 colocalize with vinculin to apparent focal adhesion sites in parietal endoderm cells. The data presented here suggests a role for CD9 in localizing the integrin to the focal adhesion. In addition, the data suggest a role for CD9 in alpha6beta1 mediated migration of parietal endoderm.

Abstract
During wound-healing, cells are required to migrate rapidly into the wound site via a proteolytically generated pathway in the provisional matrix, to produce new extracellular matrix, and, subsequently, to remodel the newly formed tissue matrix during the maturation phase. Two classes of molecules cooperate closely to achieve this goal, namely, the matrix adhesion and signaling receptors, the integrins, and matrix-degrading and -processing enzymes, the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). There is now substantial experimental evidence that blocking key molecules of either group will prevent or seriously delay wound-healing. It has been known for some time now that cell adhesion by means of the integrins regulates the expression of MMPs. In addition, certain MMPs can bind to integrins or other receptors on the cell surface involved in enzyme activation, thereby providing a mechanism for localized matrix degradation. By proteolytically modifying the existing matrix molecules, the MMPs can then induce changes in cell behavior and function from a state of rest to migration. During wound repair, the expression of integrins and MMPs is simultaneously up-regulated. This review will focus on those aspects of the extensive knowledge of fibroblast and keratinocyte MMPs and integrins in biological processes that relate to wound-healing.

Abstract
The transmembrane proteins of the tetraspanin superfamily are implicated in a diverse range of biological phenomena, including cell motility, metastasis, cell proliferation and differentiation. The tetraspanins are associated with adhesion receptors of the integrin family and regulate integrin-dependent cell migration. In cells attached to the extracellular matrix, the integrin-tetraspanin adhesion complexes are clustered into a distinct type of adhesion structure at the cell periphery. Various tetraspanins are associated with phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase and protein kinase C isoforms, and they may facilitate assembly of signalling complexes by tethering these enzymes to integrin heterodimers. At the plasma membrane, integrin-tetraspanin signalling complexes are partitioned into specific microdomains proximal to cholesterol-rich lipid rafts. A substantial fraction of tetraspanins colocalise with integrins in various intracellular vesicular compartments. It is proposed that tetraspanins can influence cell migration by one of the following mechanisms: (1) modulation of integrin signalling; (2) compartmentalisation of integrins on the cell surface; or (3) direction of intracellular trafficking and recycling of integrins.

Abstract
A novel Ig superfamily protein, EWI-2, was co-purified with tetraspanin protein CD81 under relatively stringent Brij 96 detergent conditions and identified by mass spectrometric protein sequencing. EWI-2 associated specifically with CD9 and CD81 but not with other tetraspanins or with integrins. Immunodepletion experiments indicated that EWI-2-CD9/CD81 interactions are highly stoichiometric, with approximately 70% of CD9 and CD81 associated with EWI-2 in an embryonic kidney cell line. The EWI-2 molecule was covalently cross-linked (in separate complexes) to both CD81 and CD9, suggesting that association is direct. EWI-2 is part of a novel Ig subfamily that includes EWI-F (F2alpha receptor regulatory protein (FPRP), CD9P-1), EWI-3 (IgSF3), and EWI-101 (CD101). All four members of this Ig subfamily contain a Glu-Trp-Ile (EWI) motif not seen in other Ig proteins. As shown previously, the EWI-F molecule likewise forms highly proximal, specific, and stoichiometric complexes with CD9 and CD81. Human and murine EWI-2 protein sequences are 91% identical, and transcripts in the two species are expressed in virtually every tissue tested. Thus, EWI-2 potentially contributes to a variety of CD9 and CD81 functions seen in different cell and tissue types.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS The molecules involved in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are not fully understood. The aim of this study was to elucidate the crucial genes involved in cancer progression and metastasis. METHODS Selectively expressed genes were screened using differential display analysis, and then further analyzed by real-time quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Tetraspanin CO-029 was found to be frequently and significantly overexpressed in HCC. Real-time quantitative RT-PCR showed that the CO-029 mRNA level was 1.7 times higher (P=0.030) in cancerous tissues than in non-cancerous tissues. mRNA expression of the other tetraspanins, CD9 and CD82, was downregulated in HCC, especially in tumors with intrahepatic spreading (portal vein invasion and/or intrahepatic metastasis). In contrast, mRNA expression of CO-029 tended to be increased in cancerous tissue showing intrahepatic spreading compared with tumors without such spreading. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that CO-029 was overexpressed in poorly differentiated HCCs compared with well to moderately differentiated tumors (P<0.001), and in HCCs showing intrahepatic spreading compared with those without spreading (P=0.019). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that CO-029 has some roles in the promotion of metastasis of HCC.

Abstract
In normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK) proteolytic detachment from the substrate induces a complex activation cascade including expression of new proteins, morphological alterations, and the onset of migration for epidermal regeneration. By subtractive cloning we have shown that L6, a four-transmembrane protein, is newly expressed after proteolytic keratinocyte detachment. In this study, we have generated a novel anti-L6 antibody (clone HD-pKe#104-1.1) and investigated L6 expression regulation in vitro and in vivo as well as L6 function in keratinocyte migration. Dispase-mediated detachment induced L6 expression in NHEK at the mRNA and protein level. Immunohistology of skin biopsies displayed a strong expression of L6 in follicular epidermis and epidermolytic lesions of autoimmune bullous dermatoses (bullous pemphigoid, pemphigus vulgaris), but not in normal interfollicular epidermis. In contrast to normal keratinocytes, HaCaT cells showed constitutive L6 expression, indicating a constitutively active phenotype. After artificial wounding of confluent HaCaT cultures, anti-L6 antibody strongly impaired cell migration velocity and migratory reepithelization of the defect, indicating L6 involvement in keratinocyte migration. These findings suggest that L6 is an important activation-dependent regulator of keratinocyte function and epidermal tissue regeneration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND, AIMS The composition of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) is likely to reflect inflammatory modifications that take place in the gingiva during periodontal diseases. METHOD In this study, GCF was collected at 3 different sites from 23 periodontal patients. The sites were assessed to be healthy, presenting gingivitis or periodontitis. 10 healthy individuals without any form of periodontal disease formed the control group and were sampled at one site each. The cell content of GCF was collected using Durapore Millipore strips, and 2 types of cells were studied: epithelial cells (EC) and polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN). The expression of CD9 and HLA-DR within or on the surface of these cells was studied in immunofluorescence on cytospin smears. RESULTS Both CD9 and HLA-DR expression on EC differed significantly from control subjects, and the latter decreased according to the severity of the pathology. None of the PMN found in controls expressed CD9 or HLA-DR. However, in periodontal patients, the expression of HLA-DR within PMNs was detectable and increased according to the severity of lesions. CD9 expression on PMNs also increased with inflammation. CONCLUSION This study shows that clinically healthy sites of periodontal patients already present signs of immunological activation characterised by a down modulation of HLA-DR expression on EC and an upregulation of these 2 molecules in PMN.

Abstract
It is shown that the tetraspanin CD9 has a complex pattern of distribution in hematopoietic cells and is heterogeneously expressed on human bone marrow CD34(+) cells. CD34(high)CD38(low)Thy1(+) primitive progenitors are contained in the population with intermediate CD9 expression, thus suggesting that CD9 expression may precede CD38 appearance. Cell sorting shows that colony-forming unit (CFU)-GEMM and CFU-GM are present in high proportions in this fraction and in the fraction with the lowest CD9 expression. Cells with the highest level of CD9 are committed to the B-lymphoid or megakaryocytic (MK) lineages, as shown by the co-expression of either CD19 or CD41/GPIIb and by their strong potential to give rise to CFU-MK. In liquid cultures, CD9(high)CD41(neg) cells give rise to cells with high CD41 expression as early as 2 days, and this was delayed by at least 3 to 4 days for the CD9(mid) cells; few CD41(high) cells could be detected in the CD9(low) cell culture, even after 6 days. Antibody ligation of cell surface CD9 increased the number of human CFU-MK progenitors and reduced the production of CD41(+) megakaryocytic cells in liquid culture. This was associated with a decreased expression of MK differentiation antigens and with an alteration of the membrane structure of MK cells. Altogether these data show a precise regulation of CD9 during hematopoiesis and suggest a role for this molecule in megakaryocytic differentiation, possibly by participation in membrane remodeling.

Abstract
The tetra-membrane-spanning protein CD9 forms a complex with a membrane-anchored heparin binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF) and integrin alpha3beta1 in some human and monkey cell lines. We show here the immunohistochemical distribution of CD9, HB-EGF, and integrin alpha3beta1 in normal human tissues. Distribution of CD9, HB-EGF, and integrin alpha3beta1 was similar in various tissues, including transitional epithelium, squamous epithelium, thyroid follicular epithelium, adrenal cortex, testis, smooth muscle, and stromal fibrous tissue. However, distribution of the three proteins did not coincide in some tissues, such as lung, liver, kidney, gastric and intestinal epithelium, pancreas, salivary gland, and ovary. In striated muscle, including cardiac muscle, CD9 was present not in the muscle cells themselves but in the endomysium and perimysium, whereas HB-EGF was distributed in the muscle cells themselves. CD9 was distributed in the myelin, but HB-EGF was found in the axon of the peripheral and central nervous systems. Coincident distribution of integrin alpha3beta1 with others was not observed in muscles and neural tissues. In conclusion, there is a possibility of complex formation and functional cooperation of CD9 with HB-EGF and/or integrin alpha3beta1 in several tissues.

Abstract
Recent literature suggests that tetraspanin proteins (transmembrane 4 superfamily; TM4SF proteins) may associate with each other and with many other transmembrane proteins to form large complexes that sometimes may be found in lipid rafts. Here we show that prototype complexes of CD9 or CD81 (TM4SF proteins) with alpha(3)beta(1) (an integrin) and complexes of CD63 (a TM4SF protein) with phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase (PtdIns 4-K) may indeed localize within lipid raft-like microdomains, as seen by three different criteria. First, these complexes localize to low density light membrane fractions in sucrose gradients. Second, CD9 and alpha(3) integrin colocalized with ganglioside GM1 as seen by double staining of fixed cells. Third, CD9-alpha3beta1 and CD81-alpha3beta1 complexes were shifted to a higher density upon cholesterol depletion from intact cells or cell lysate. However, CD9-alpha3beta1, CD81-alpha3beta1, and CD63-PtdIns 4-K complex formation itself was not dependent on localization into raftlike lipid microdomains. These complexes did not require cholesterol for stabilization, were maintained within well solubilized dense fractions from sucrose gradients, were stable at 37 degrees C, and were small enough to be included within CL6B gel filtration columns. In summary, prototype TM4SF protein complexes (CD9-alpha3beta1, CD81-alpha3beta1, and CD63-PtdIns 4-K) can be solubilized as discrete units, independent of lipid microdomains, although they do associate with microdomains resembling lipid rafts.
