Abstract
Mycobacteria enter host phagocytes, such as macrophages by binding to several receptors on phagocytes. Several mycobacterial species, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis have evolved systems to evade host bactericidal pathways. Lipoarabinomannan (LAM) is an essential mycobacterial molecule for both binding to phagocytes and escaping from bactericidal pathways. Integrin CD11b plays critical roles as a phagocytic receptor and contributes to host defense by mediating both nonopsonic and opsonic phagocytosis. However, the mechanisms by which CD11b-mediated phagocytosis associates with LAM and drives the phagocytic process of mycobacteria remain to be fully elucidated. We recently identified TMDU3 as anti-LAM IgM antibody against the mannan core of LAM. The present study investigated the roles of CD11b and TMDU3 in macrophage phagocytosis of mycobacteria and subsequent bactericidal lysosomal fusion to phagosomes. CD11b knockout cells generated by a CRISPR/Cas9 system showed significant attenuation of the ability to phagocytose non-opsonized mycobacteria and LAM-conjugated beads. Moreover, recombinant human CD11b protein was found to bind to LAM. TMDU3 markedly inhibited macrophage phagocytosis of non-opsonized mycobacteria. This antibody slightly increased the phagocytosis of mycobacteria under opsonized conditions, whereas it significantly enhanced CD11b-mediated bactericidal functions. Taken together, these results show a novel phylactic role of anti-LAM IgM during mycobacterial infection in macrophages.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a major cause of cerebral and cardiovascular diseases. Intravascular plaques, a well-known pathological finding of atherosclerosis, have a necrotic core composed of macrophages and dead cells. Intraplaque macrophages, which are classified into various subtypes, play key roles in maintenance of normal cellular microenvironment. Excessive uptake of oxidized low-density lipoprotein causes conversion of macrophages to foam cells, and consequent progression/exacerbation of atherosclerosis. G-protein-coupled receptor 55 (GPR55) signaling has been reported to associate with atherosclerosis progression. We demonstrated recently that lysophosphatidylglucoside (lysoPtdGlc) is a specific ligand of GPR55, although in general physiological ligands of GPR55 are poorly understood. Phosphatidylglucoside is expressed on human monocytes and can be converted to lysoPtdGlc. In the present study, we examined possible involvement of lysoPtdGlc/GPR55 signaling in foam cell formation. In monocyte-derived M2c macrophages, lysoPtdGlc/GPR55 signaling inhibited translocation of ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 1 to plasma membrane, and cholesterol efflux. Such inhibitory effect was reversed by GPR55 antagonist ML193. LysoPtdGlc/GPR55 signaling in M2c macrophages was involved in excessive lipid accumulation, thereby promoting foam cell formation. Our findings suggest that lysoPtdGlc/GPR55 signaling is a potential therapeutic target for inhibition of atherosclerosis progression.

Abstract
Monosialoganglioside GM3 is the simplest ganglioside involved in various cellular signaling. Cell surface distribution of GM3 is thought to be crucial for the function of GM3, but little is known about the cell surface GM3 distribution. It was shown that anti-GM3 monoclonal antibody binds to GM3 in sparse but not in confluent melanoma cells. Our model membrane study evidenced that monoclonal anti-GM3 antibodies showed stronger binding when GM3 was in less fluid membrane environment. Studies using fluorescent GM3 analogs suggested that GM3 was clustered in less fluid membrane. Moreover, fluorescent lifetime measurement showed that cell surface of high density melanoma cells is more fluid than that of low density cells. Lipidomics and fatty acid supplementation experiment suggested that monounsaturated fatty acid-containing phosphatidylcholine contributed to the cell density-dependent membrane fluidity. Our results indicate that anti-GM3 antibody senses GM3 clustering and the number and/or size of GM3 cluster differ between sparse and confluent melanoma cells.

Abstract
Pain transmission and processing in the nervous system are modulated by various biologically active substances, including lysophospholipids, through direct and indirect actions on the somatosensory pathway. Lysophosphatidylglucoside (LysoPtdGlc) was recently identified as a structurally unique lysophospholipid that exerts biological actions via the G protein-coupled receptor GPR55. Here, we demonstrated that GPR55-knockout (KO) mice show impaired induction of mechanical pain hypersensitivity in a model of spinal cord compression (SCC) without the same change in the models of peripheral tissue inflammation and peripheral nerve injury. Among these models, only SCC recruited peripheral inflammatory cells (neutrophils, monocytes/macrophages, and CD3+ T-cells) in the spinal dorsal horn (SDH), and GPR55-KO blunted these recruitments. Neutrophils were the first cells recruited to the SDH, and their depletion suppressed the induction of SCC-induced mechanical hypersensitivity and inflammatory responses in compressed SDH. Furthermore, we found that PtdGlc was present in the SDH and that intrathecal administration of an inhibitor of secretory phospholipase A2 (an enzyme required for producing LysoPtdGlc from PtdGlc) reduced neutrophil recruitment to compressed SDH and suppressed pain induction. Finally, by screening compounds from a chemical library, we identified auranofin as a clinically used drug with an inhibitory effect on mouse and human GPR55. Systemically administered auranofin to mice with SCC effectively suppressed spinal neutrophil infiltration and pain hypersensitivity. These results suggest that GPR55 signaling contributes to the induction of inflammatory responses and chronic pain after SCC via the recruitment of neutrophils and may provide a new target for reducing pain induction after spinal cord compression, such as spinal canal stenosis.

Abstract
Failure of the immune system to discriminate myelin components from foreign antigens plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of multiple sclerosis. In fact, the appearance of anti-myelin autoantibodies, targeting both proteins and glycolipids, is often responsible for functional alterations in myelin-producing cells in this disease. Nevertheless, some of these antibodies were reported to be beneficial for remyelination. Recombinant human IgM22 (rHIgM22) binds to myelin and to the surface of O4-positive oligodendrocytes, and promotes remyelination in mouse models of chronic demyelination. Interestingly, the identity of the antigen recognized by this antibody remains to be elucidated. The preferential binding of rHIgM22 to sulfatide-positive cells or tissues suggests that sulfatide might be part of the antigen pattern recognized by the antibody, however, cell populations lacking sulfatide expression are also responsive to rHIgM22. Thus, we assessed the binding of rHIgM22 in vitro to purified lipids and lipid extracts from various sources to identify the antigen(s) recognized by this antibody. Our results show that rHIgM22 is indeed able to bind both sulfatide and its deacylated form, whereas no significant binding for other myelin sphingolipids has been detected. Remarkably, binding of rHIgM22 to sulfatide in lipid monolayers can be positively or negatively regulated by the presence of other lipids. Moreover, rHIgM22 also binds to phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylserine and phosphatidic acid, suggesting that not only sulfatide, but also other membrane lipids might play a role in the binding of rHIgM22 to oligodendrocytes and to other cell types not expressing sulfatide.

Abstract
Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) form GSL-enriched microdomains, together with sphingomyelin (SM), cholesterol, glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins, and membrane-associated signaling molecules. GSL-enriched microdomains mediate a variety of physiological functions, including innate immune responses. Innate immune responses are initialized by the binding of host pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) expressed in microorganisms. This binding triggers phagocytosis and leads to the formation of a phagosome-containing microorganism and the subsequent lysosomal fusion with a phagosome. To detect the molecular interaction between GSL-enriched microdomains, sphingolipids, and signaling molecules from the uptake of the microorganism until the phagosome-containing microorganism fuses with lysosomes, biochemical and microscopic approaches are indispensable. Here, we describe the detailed methods for isolating phagosomes and observing the molecular interaction using a superresolution microscope. Our methodology provides a strategy for exploring the molecular interaction between the host and pathogen and for developing new treatment approaches.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and M. avium-intracellulare complex (MAC) enter host phagocytes, such as neutrophils through lipoarabinomannan (LAM) binding to pattern-recognition receptors, inducing innate immune responses including phagocytosis. Phagocytosis of mycobacteria by human neutrophils depends on the binding of α(1 → 2)-monomannose branching α(1 → 6)-mannan core of LAM/lipomannan (LM), a common component among mycobacterial species, to lactosylceramide (LacCer)-enriched lipid microdomains. We investigated the binding specificities of several anti-LAM antibodies (Abs) to LAMs/LM and found anti-LAM monoclonal IgMs TMDU3 and LA066 were directed against mannan core. Each IgM showed different binding specificity to mannan core. Confocal and stimulated emission depletion microscopy revealed TMDU3 and LA066 strongly bind to MTB and MAC, respectively. Flow cytometric analysis revealed human neutrophils do not express Dectin-2, DC-SIGN or mannose receptor. Furthermore, neutrophil phagocytosis of mycobacteria was markedly inhibited by TMDU3 and LA066, respectively. Similarly, treatment of each mAb with neutrophils reduced the numbers of intracellular MAC. Together, our results suggest that the interaction of LacCer-enriched lipid microdomains with mannan core and its blocking are therapeutic or diagnostic targets for both TB and non-tuberculous mycobacteria infection.

Abstract
Glycosphingolipids (GSLs), together with cholesterol, sphingomyelin (SM), and glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored and membrane-associated signal transduction molecules, form GSL-enriched microdomains. These specialized microdomains interact in a cis manner with various immune receptors, affecting immune receptor-mediated signaling. This, in turn, results in the regulation of a broad range of immunological functions, including phagocytosis, cytokine production, antigen presentation and apoptosis. In addition, GSLs alone can regulate immunological functions by acting as ligands for immune receptors, and exogenous GSLs can alter the organization of microdomains and microdomain-associated signaling. Many pathogens, including viruses, bacteria and fungi, enter host cells by binding to GSL-enriched microdomains. Intracellular pathogens survive inside phagocytes by manipulating intracellular microdomain-driven signaling and/or sphingolipid metabolism pathways. This review describes the mechanisms by which GSL-enriched microdomains regulate immune signaling.

Abstract
Neutrophils undergo spontaneous apoptosis within 24-48 h after leaving bone marrow. Apoptotic neutrophils are subsequently phagocytosed and cleared by macrophages, thereby maintaining neutrophil homeostasis. Previous studies have demonstrated involvement of lysophosphatidylglucoside (lysoPtdGlc), a degradation product of PtdGlc, in modality-specific repulsive guidance of spinal sensory axons, via its specific receptor GPR55. In the present study, using human monocytic cell line THP-1 as a model, we demonstrated that lysoPtdGlc induces monocyte/macrophage migration with typical bell-haped curve and a peak at concentration 10-9 M. Lysophosphatidylinositol (lysoPtdIns), a known GPR55 ligand, induced migration at higher concentration (10-7 M). LysoPtdGlc-treated cells had a polarized shape, whereas lysoPtdIns-treated cells had a spherical shape. In EZ-TAXIScan (chemotaxis) assay, lysoPtdGlc induced chemotactic migration activity of THP-1 cells, while lysoPtdIns induced random migration activity. GPR55 antagonist ML193 inhibited lysoPtdGlc-induced THP-1 cell migration, whereas lysoPtdIns-induced migration was inhibited by CB2-receptor inverse agonist. SiRNA experiments showed that GPR55 mediated lysoPtdGlc-induced migration, while lysoPtdIns-induced migration was mediated by CB2 receptor. Our findings, taken together, suggest that lysoPtdGlc functions as a chemotactic molecule for human monocytes/macrophages via GPR55 receptor, while lysoPtdIns induces random migration activity via CB2 receptor.

Abstract
Membrane microdomains, also called lipid rafts, are areas on membrane enriched in glycolipids, sphingolipids, and cholesterol. Although membrane microdomains are thought to play key roles in many cellular functions, their structures, properties, and biological functions remain obscure. Cellular membranes contain several types of glycoproteins, glycolipids, and other lipids, including cholesterol, glycerophospholipids, and sphingomyelin. Depending on their physicochemical properties, especially the characteristics of their glycolipids, various microdomains form on these cell membranes, providing structural or functional contextures thought to be essential for biological activities. For example, the plasma membranes of human neutrophils are enriched in lactosylceramide (LacCer) and phosphatidylglucoside (PtdGlc), each of which forms different membrane microdomains with different surrounding molecules and is involved in different functions of neutrophils. Specifically, LacCer forms Lyn-coupled lipid microdomains, which mediate neutrophil chemotaxis, phagocytosis, and superoxide generation, whereas PtdGlc-enriched microdomains mediate neutrophil differentiation and spontaneous apoptosis. However, the mechanisms by which these glycolipids form different nano/meso microdomains and mediate their specialized functions remain incompletely understood. This review describes current understanding of the roles of glycolipids and sphingolipids in their enriched contextures on cellular membranes, including their mechanisms of facilitation and regulation of intracellular signaling. This review also introduces new concepts about the roles of glycolipid and sphingolipid-dependent contextures in immunological functions.

Abstract
The arrangement of immature germ cells changes regularly and periodically along the axis of the seminiferous tubule, and is used to describe the progression of spermatogenesis. This description is based primarily on the changes in the acrosome and the nuclear morphology of haploid spermatids. However, such criteria cannot be applied under pathological conditions with arrested spermatid differentiation. In such settings, the changes associated with the differentiation of premeiotic germ cells must be analyzed. Here, we found that the unique bipolar motor protein, KIF11 (kinesin-5/Eg5), which functions in spindle formation during mitosis and meiosis in oocytes and early embryos, is expressed in premeiotic germ cells (spermatogonia and spermatocytes). Thus, we aimed to investigate whether KIF11 could be used to describe the progression of incomplete spermatogenesis. Interestingly, KIF11 expression was barely observed in haploid spermatids and Sertoli cells. The KIF11 staining allowed us to evaluate the progression of meiotic processes, by providing the time axis of spindle formation in both normal and spermatogenesis-arrested mutant mice. Accordingly, KIF11 has the potential to serve as an excellent marker to describe spermatogenesis, even in the absence of spermatid development.

Abstract
Wild-type Kras, a small GTPase, inactivates Ras growth-promoting signaling. However, the role of Kras in differentiation of myeloid cells remains unclear. This study showed the involvement of Kras in a novel regulatory mechanism underlying the dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-induced differentiation of human acute myeloid leukemia HL-60 cells. Kras was found to positively regulate DMSO-induced differentiation, with the activity of Kras increasing upon DMSO. Inhibition of Kras attenuated CD11b expression in differentiated HL-60 cells. GSK3β, an important component of Wnt signaling, was found to be a downstream signal of Kras. Phosphorylation of GSK3β was markedly enhanced by DMSO treatment. Moreover, inhibition of GSK3β enhanced CD11b expression and triggered the accumulation in the nucleus of β-catenin and Tcf in response to DMSO. Inhibitors of β-catenin-mediated pathways blocked CD11b expression, further indicating that β-catenin is involved in the differentiation of HL-60 cells. Elevated expression of C/EBPα and C/EBPɛ accompanied by the expression of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) receptor was observed during differentiation. Taken together, these findings suggest that Kras engages in cross talk with the Wnt/β-catenin pathway upon DMSO treatment of HL-60 cells, thereby regulating the granulocytic differentiation of HL-60 cells. These results indicate that Kras acts as a tumor suppressor during the differentiation of myeloid cells.

Abstract
Lipid rafts formed by glycosphingolipids (GSLs) on cellular membranes play important roles in innate and adaptive immunity. Lactosylceramide (LacCer) forms lipid rafts on plasma and granular membranes of human neutrophils. These LacCer-enriched lipid rafts bind directly to pathogenic components, such as pathogenic fungi-derived β-glucan and Mycobacteria-derived lipoarabinomannan via carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions, and mediate innate immune responses to these pathogens. In contrast, a-series and o-series gangliosides form distinct rafts on CD4+ and CD8+ T cell subsets, respectively, contributing to the respective functions of these cells and stimulating adaptive immune responses through T cell receptors. These findings suggest that gangliosides play indispensable roles in T cell selection and activation. This Review introduces the involvement of GSL-enriched lipid rafts in innate and adaptive immunity.

Abstract
More than 100 years have passed since Elie Metchnikoff discovered phagocytes. As molecular biological techniques have been developed and improved, we have gained deeper knowledge about the molecular mechanisms of immunological responses to invasion. The innate immune system is the inborn defense mechanism and the first line of defense against all kinds of pathogenic organisms, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc. Innate immunity was originally considered to comprise non-specific reactions. However, we now know that innate immune systems develop molecular mechanisms specific to pathogenic microorganisms. In the 1970s, a neutral glycosphingolipid lactosylceramide (LacCer) was found to bind specifically to several kinds of microorganisms. LacCer is highly expressed in phagocytes and epithelial cells. LacCer forms lipid rafts on human neutrophils and is involved in neutrophil migration, phagocytosis, and superoxide generation. In contrast, mouse neutrophils express relatively little LacCer on their cell surfaces. Thus, it is difficult to observe LacCer-mediated innate immunological reactions in mice. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a typical pathogen for humans but not mice in general. Interestingly, M. tuberculosis can escape killing by neutrophils through regulation of the LacCer-enriched lipid raft-mediated immunological reactions of these cells. These observations indicate that LacCer-enriched lipid rafts play an essential role in human innate immunity. This review describes LacCer-mediated innate immunity in humans.

Abstract
Although individuals are constantly exposed to infectious agents, these agents are generally resisted by the innate and acquired immune systems. Both the innate and acquired immune systems protect against invading organisms, but they differ functionally in several ways. The innate immune system is the body's inborn defense mechanism and the first line of defense against invading organisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Glycosphingolipids (GSLs), which are expressed on the outer leaflet of plasma membranes (Murate et al., J Cell Sci 128(8):1627-1638, 2015), are involved in both innate and acquired immunity (Inokuchi et al., Biochim Biophys Acta 1851(1):98-106, 2015; Nakayama et al., Arch Immunol Ther Exp (Warsz) 61(3):217-228, 2013; Rueda, Br J Nutr 98(Suppl 1):S68-73, 2007; Popa and Portoukalian, Pathol Biol (Paris) 51(5):253-255, 2003).Recent studies have indicated that innate immunity is not a "nonspecific" immune system. Large numbers of viruses, bacteria, and bacterial toxins have been reported to bind to host surface carbohydrates, a number of which are components of GSLs (Schengrund, Biochem Pharmacol 65(5):699-707, 2003). Binding studies have also demonstrated that some glycolipids function as receptors for microorganisms and bacterial toxins (Yates and Rampersaud, Ann N Y Acad Sci 845:57-71, 1998). These findings clearly indicate that GSLs are involved in host-pathogen interactions.GSLs are composed of hydrophobic ceramide and hydrophilic sugar moieties (Hakomori, Annu Rev Biochem 50:733-764, 1980). The ceramide moiety of sphingolipids and the cholesterol sterol-ring system are thought to interact via hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic van der Waal's forces (Mukherjee and Maxfield, Annu Rev Cell Dev Biol 20:839-866, 2004). Additional hydrophilic cis interactions among GSL headgroups have been found to promote their lateral associations with surrounding lipid and protein membrane components. These interactions result in the separation in cell membranes of lipid rafts, which are lipid domains rich in GSLs, cholesterol, glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins and membrane-anchored signaling molecules (Pike, J Lipid Res 47(7):1597-1598, 2006). These GSL-enriched lipid rafts play important roles in immunological functions (Inokuchi et al., Biochim Biophys Acta 1851(1):98-106, 2015; Iwabuchi et al., Mediators Inflamm 2015:120748, 2015; Anderson and Roche, Biochim Biophys Acta 1853(4):775-780, 2015; Zuidscherwoude et al., J Leukoc Biol 95(2):251-263, 2014; Dykstra et al., Annu Rev Immunol 21:457-481, 2003). This introductory chapter describes the roles of GSLs and their lipid rafts in the immune system.

Abstract
Nerve growth factor (NGF) functions to modulate osteoarthritis (OA)-associated pain. Although recent studies suggest that tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β mediate NGF activity in human synovial fibroblasts, the regulation of NGF expression in human synovial macrophages remains unclear. Here, we examined the role of macrophages in the production and regulation of synovial (SYN) NGF in osteoarthritic knee joints by examining the mRNA expression of TNF-α and IL-1β in freshly isolated CD14-positive (macrophage-rich fraction) and CD14-negative cells (fibroblast-rich fraction) in synovial tissue from OA patients by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. We also examined the effects of IL-1β and TNF-α on NGF mRNA expression in cultured CD14-positive (macrophage-rich fraction) and CD14-negative cells (fibroblast-rich fraction). In addition, to examine the contribution of macrophages to NGF, TNF-α and IL-1β expression, we injected clodronate liposomes systemically into STR/Ort mice, an osteoarthritis animal model, to deplete macrophages. TNF-α and IL-1β mRNA levels in CD14-positive cells from the SYN of OA patients was significantly higher than that in CD14-negative cells, while NGF expression did not differ markedly between the two cell fractions. In addition, treatment of human cultured CD14-positive and -negative cells with IL-1β and TNF-α enhanced NGF mRNA and protein levels. Expression of NGF, IL-1β and TNF-α was also reduced significantly in STR/Ort mice upon macrophage depletion. These findings suggest that IL-1β and TNF-α regulate NGF expression and production in synovial macrophages and fibroblasts in osteoarthritic joints.

Abstract
Pathogenic mycobacteria use virulence factors, including mannose-capped lipoarabinomannan (ManLAM), to survive in host phagocytic cells, such as neutrophils. We assessed the roles of lactosylceramide (LacCer, CDw17)-enriched lipid rafts in the phagocytosis of mycobacteria by human neutrophils and in the intracellular fate of phagocytosed mycobacteria. We showed that the association of the Src family kinase (SFK) Lyn with C24 fatty acid chain-containing LacCer was essential for the phagocytosis of mycobacteria by neutrophils. Assays with LacCer-containing liposomes, LacCer-coated plastic plates, and LAM-coated beads demonstrated that the phagocytosis of mycobacteria was mediated through the binding of LacCer to LAM. Both ManLAM from pathogenic species and phosphoinositol-capped LAM (PILAM) from nonpathogenic Mycobacterium smegmatis bound equivalently to LacCer to stimulate phagocytosis. However, PILAM from an M. smegmatis α1,2-mannosyltransferase deletion mutant (ΔMSMEG_4247), lacking the α1,2-monomannose side branches of the LAM mannan core, did not bind to LacCer or induce phagocytosis. An anti-LacCer antibody immunoprecipitated the SFK Hck from the phagosomes of neutrophils that internalized nonpathogenic mycobacteria but not from those that internalized pathogenic mycobacteria. Furthermore, knockdown of Hck by short inhibitory RNA abolished the fusion of lysosomes with phagosomes containing nonpathogenic mycobacteria. Further analysis showed that ManLAM, but not PILAM, inhibited the association of Hck with LacCer-enriched lipid rafts in phagosomal membranes, effectively blocking phagolysosome formation. Together, these findings suggest that pathogenic mycobacteria use ManLAM not only for binding to LacCer-enriched lipid rafts and entering neutrophils but also for disrupting signaling through Hck-coupled, LacCer-enriched lipid rafts and preventing phagolysosome formation.

Abstract
Background The activation of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) plays an important role in sepsis. Previously, we showed that ATP release and feedback via ATP receptors are essential for PMN activation; however, the dynamics remain poorly understood. Two new fluorescent chemosensors, PMAP-1 and MitoAP-1, were developed to detect ATP in the plasma membrane and mitochondria of living cells, respectively. In this study, we aimed to evaluate ATP localization using these chemosensors in PMNs of sepsis patients. Methods Live PMNs isolated from 16 sepsis patients and healthy controls (HCs) were stained with these chemosensors and observed by confocal microscopy, and their mean fluorescence intensities (MFIs) were evaluated using flow cytometry. CD11b expression in PMNs was also evaluated. Results The MFIs of PMAP-1 and MitoAP-1 and CD11b expression in PMNs from sepsis patients on days 0–1 were significantly higher than those of HCs. The MFI of PMAP-1 and CD11b expression on days 3–4 decreased significantly compared to those observed at days 0–1, whereas MitoAP-1 MFI was maintained at a high level. The PMAP-1 MFI was significantly positively correlated with CD11b expression, white blood cell counts, neutrophil counts, and C-reactive protein levels in patients. Conclusions The higher MFIs of PMAP-1 and MitoAP-1 in sepsis patients suggest a pivotal role of ATP for PMN activation. The temporal difference in ATP levels suggests that ATP plays different roles in the mitochondria and on the cell surface. These data should contribute to the understanding of the dynamics of ATP in PMNs and help to develop a novel therapy for sepsis.

Abstract
Recent studies have reported that calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) contributes to joint pain. However, regulation of the CGRP/CGRP receptor signalling in osteoarthritis (OA) is not fully understood. To investigate the regulation of CGRP/CGRP receptor signalling by macrophages in the synovial tissue (ST) of OA joints, we characterized the gene expression profiles of CGRP and CGRP receptors in the ST of OA mice (STR/Ort). In addition, we examined whether macrophage depletion by the systemic injection of clodronate-laden liposomes affected the expression of CGRP and CGRP receptors in ST. CD11c(+) macrophages in the ST of STR/Ort and C57BL/6J mice were analysed by flow cytometry. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to evaluate the expression of interleukin (IL)-1β, CGRP, calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CLR) and receptor activity-modifying protein 1 (RAMP1) in F4/80(+) and F4/80(-) cells. The effects of IL-1β on the expression of CGRP and CLR by cultured synovial cells were also examined. The percentage of CD11c(+) macrophages in the ST of STR/Ort was higher than that in C57/BL6J mice. Notably, the F4/80(+) cell fraction expressed IL-1β highly, whereas the F4/80(-) cell fraction expressed CGRP, CLR, and RAMP1 highly. In addition, expression of the IL-1β and CLR genes was increased in ST, but was decreased upon macrophage depletion, and the IL-1β treatment of cultured synovial cells up-regulated CLR. Taken together, the present findings suggest that synovial macrophages are the major producers of IL-1β and regulators of CLR in OA mice. Therefore, macrophages and IL-1β may be suitable therapeutic targets for treating OA pain.

Abstract
To understand more clearly the link between osteoarthritis and hyperlipidaemia, we investigated the inflammatory macrophage subsets and macrophage-regulated matrix metalloprotease-3 (MMP-3) and A disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin motifs-4 (ADAMTS4) in synovial (ST) and adipose tissues (AT) of osteoarthritic mice with hyperlipidaemia (STR/Ort). CD11c(+) F4/80(+) CD11b(+) macrophage populations in the ST and AT of 9-month-old STR/Ort and C57BL/6J mice were characterized and compared by flow cytometry and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses. Expression of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, MMP-3 and ADAMTS4, and the response of these factors to anionic liposomal clodronate induced-macrophage depletion were also evaluated by real-time PCR. Expression of TNF-α in CD11c(+) cells, which were isolated by magnetic beads, was compared to CD11c(-) cells. In addition, the effect of TNF-α on cultured synovial fibroblasts and adipocytes was investigated. CD11c(+) F4/80(+) CD11b(+) macrophages were increased in ST and AT of STR/Ort mice. The CD11c(+) cell fraction highly expressed TNF-α. Expression of TNF-α and MMP3 was increased in ST and AT, and was decreased upon macrophage depletion. TNF-α treatment of cultured synovial fibroblasts and adipocytes markedly up-regulated MMP-3. CD11c(+) F4/80(+) CD11b(+) macrophages were identified as a common inflammatory subset in the AT and ST of STR/Ort mice with hyperlipidaemia. The induction of inflammation in AT and ST may be part of a common mechanism that regulates MMP3 expression through TNF-α. Our findings suggest that increased numbers of CD11c(+) macrophages and elevated levels of TNF-α and MMP-3 in AT and ST may explain the relationship between hyperlipidaemia and OA.

Abstract
Lactosylceramide (LacCer), which is essential for many cellular processes, is highly expressed on the plasma membranes of human neutrophils and mediates innate immune functions. Less is known, however, about the properties and biological functions of LacCer in mouse neutrophils. This study therefore analyzed the properties of mouse neutrophil LacCer. LacCer was observed on the surface of these cells, with flow cytometry indicating that mouse neutrophil LacCer could be detected by the anti-LacCer mAb T5A7, but not by the anti-LacCer antibodies Huly-m13 and MEM-74. The molecular species of LacCer were nearly identical in mouse and human neutrophils, including C24:0 and C24:1 fatty acid chain-containing species, although the LacCer content in plasma membranes was ∼ 20-fold lower in mouse than in human neutrophils. Surface plasmon resonance analysis revealed that T5A7 bound to a lipid monolayer composed of LacCer, DOPC, cholesterol and sphingomyelin (molar ratio 0.1 : 10 : 10 : 1), whereas Huly-m13 did not. T5A7 induced neutrophil migration, which was abolished by inhibitors of Src-family kinases, PI-3 kinases, and trimeric G (o/i) proteins. T5A7 also inhibited phagocytosis of non-opsonized zymosans by neutrophils. Taken together, these findings suggest that in mouse neutrophils, (i) LacCer is expressed as LacCer-enriched microdomains in cell surface plasma membranes, (ii) these microdomains are recognized by T5A7 but not by other known anti-LacCer antibodies and (iii) LacCer is involved in cell migration and phagocytosis.

Abstract
Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are membrane components consisting of hydrophobic ceramide and hydrophilic sugar moieties. GSLs cluster with cholesterol in cell membranes to form GSL-enriched lipid rafts. Biochemical analyses have demonstrated that GSL-enriched lipid rafts contain several kinds of transducer molecules, including Src family kinases. Among the GSLs, lactosylceramide (LacCer, CDw17) can bind to various microorganisms, is highly expressed on the plasma membranes of human phagocytes, and forms lipid rafts containing the Src family tyrosine kinase Lyn. LacCer-enriched lipid rafts mediate immunological and inflammatory reactions, including superoxide generation, chemotaxis, and non-opsonic phagocytosis. Therefore, LacCer-enriched membrane microdomains are thought to function as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) expressed on microorganisms. LacCer also serves as a signal transduction molecule for functions mediated by CD11b/CD18-integrin (αM/β2-integrin, CR3, Mac-1), as well as being associated with several key cellular processes. LacCer recruits PCKα/ε and phospholipase A2 to stimulate PECAM-1 expression in human monocytes and their adhesion to endothelial cells, as well as regulating β1-integrin clustering and endocytosis on cell surfaces. This review describes the organizational and inflammation-related functions of LacCer-enriched lipid rafts.

Abstract
There are a limited number of methods to examine transbilayer lipid distribution in biomembranes. We employed freeze-fracture replica labelling immunoelectron microscopy in combination with multiple lipid-binding peptide/proteins to examine both transbilayer and lateral distribution of various phospholipids in mammalian cells. Our results indicate that phospholipids are exclusively distributed either in the outer or inner leaflet of human red blood cell (RBC) membranes. In contrast, in nucleated cells such as human skin fibroblasts and neutrophils, sphingomyelin was distributed in both leaflets while exhibiting characteristic lipid domains in the inner leaflet. Similar to RBC, lipid asymmetry was maintained both in resting and thrombin-activated platelets. However, the microparticles released from thrombin-activated platelets lost membrane asymmetry. Our results suggest that the microparticles were shed from platelet plasma membrane domains enriched with phosphatidylserine/phosphatidylinositol at the outer leaflet. These findings underscore the strict regulation and cell-type specificity of lipid asymmetry in the plasma membrane.

Abstract
Lactosylceramide [LacCer; β-Gal-(1-4)-β-Glc-(1-1)-Cer] has been shown to contain very long fatty acids that specifically modulate neutrophil properties. The interactions between LacCer and proteins and their role in cell signaling processes were assessed by synthesizing two molecular species of azide-photoactivable tritium-labeled LacCer having acyl chains of different lengths. The lengths of the two acyl chains corresponded to those of a short/medium and very long fatty acid, comparable to the lengths of stearic and lignoceric acids, respectively. These derivatives, designated C18-[(3)H]LacCer-(N3) and C24-[(3)H]LacCer-(N3), were incorporated into the lipid rafts of plasma membranes of neutrophilic differentiated HL-60 (D-HL-60) cells. C24-[(3)H]LacCer-(N3), but not C18-[(3)H]LacCer-(N3), induced the phosphorylation of Lyn and promoted phagocytosis. Incorporation of C24-[(3)H]LacCer-(N3) into plasma membranes, followed by illumination, resulted in the formation of several tritium-labeled LacCer-protein complexes, including the LacCer-Lyn complex, into plasma membrane lipid rafts. Administration of C18-[(3)H]LacCer-(N3) to cells, however, did not result in the formation of the LacCer-Lyn complex. These results suggest that LacCer derivatives mimic the biological properties of natural LacCer species and can be utilized as tools to study LacCer-protein interactions, and confirm a specific direct interaction between LacCer species containing very long fatty acids, and Lyn protein, associated with the cytoplasmic layer via myristic/palmitic chains.

Abstract
Populations of glycolipids change markedly during leukocyte differentiation, suggesting that these molecules are involved in biological functions. About 70% of the glycosphingolipids in human neutrophils are lactosylceramide, a molecule also expressed on monocytes and dendritic cells, but not on lymphocytes. In contrast, phosphatidylglucoside is mainly expressed on neutrophils. STED microscopic analysis showed that phosphatidylglucoside and lactosylceramide form different domains on plasma membranes of neutrophils, with phosphatidylglucoside preferentially expressed along the neutrophil differentiation pathway. Phosphatidylglucoside was found to mediate the differentiation of HL-60 cells into the neutrophilic lineage, and to be involved in FAS-dependent neutrophil apoptosis. In contrast, lactosylceramide was only expressed on mature neutrophils. Complexes of lactosylceramide and the Src family kinase Lyn form membrane microdomains. LacCer-enriched membrane microdomains mediate neutrophil innate immune responses; e.g. chemotaxis, phagocytosis, and superoxide generation. C24 fatty acid chains of LacCer are indispensable for the formation of LacCer-Lyn complexes and for LacCer-dependent functions. Moreover, Lyn-coupled LacCer-enriched microdomains serve as signal transduction platforms for αMβ2 integrin-mediated phagocytosis. This review describes the organization and potential functions of glycolipids in phagocytes, as well as the roles of both phosphatidylglucoside and lactosylceramide in neutrophils. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Linking transcription to physiology in lipidomics.

Abstract
Ceramide is important for water retention and permeability barrier functions in the stratum corneum, and plays a key role in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD). A Pseudomonas aeruginosa-derived neutral ceramidase (PaCDase) isolated from a patient with AD was shown to effectively degrade ceramide in the presence of Staphylococcus aureus-derived lipids or neutral detergents. However, the effect of ceramide metabolites on the functions of differentiating keratinocytes is poorly understood. We found that the ceramide metabolite sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) stimulated the production of inflammatory mediators such as TNF-α and IL-8 from three-dimensionally cultured human primary keratinocytes (termed "3D keratinocytes"), which form a stratum corneum. PaCDase alone did not affect TNF-α gene expression in 3D keratinocytes. In the presence of the detergent Triton X-100, which damages stratum corneum structure, PaCDase, but not heat-inactivated PaCDase or PaCDase-inactive mutant, induced the production of TNF-α, endothelin-1, and IL-8, indicating that this production was dependent on ceramidase activity. Among various ceramide metabolites, sphingosine and S1P enhanced the gene expression of TNF-α, endothelin-1, and IL-8. The PaCDase-enhanced expression of these genes was inhibited by a sphingosine kinase inhibitor and by an S1P receptor antagonist VPC 23019. The TNF-α-binding antibody infliximab suppressed the PaCDase-induced upregulation of IL-8, but not TNF-α, mRNA. PaCDase induced NF-κB p65 phosphorylation. The NF-κB inhibitor curcumin significantly inhibited PaCDase-induced expression of IL-8 and endothelin-1. VPC 23019 and infliximab inhibited PaCDase-induced NF-κB p65 phosphorylation and reduction in the protein level of the NF-κB inhibitor IκBα. Collectively, these findings suggest that (i) 3D keratinocytes produce S1P from sphingosine, which is produced through the hydrolysis of ceramide by PaCDase, (ii) S1P induces the production of TNF-α via S1P receptors, and (iii) released TNF-α stimulates the production of inflammatory mediators such as IL-8.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung ischaemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is correlated with poor clinical outcome. The inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) are produced by pulmonary epithelial cells during lung transplantation and are considered to be involved in I/R injury. The volatile anaesthetic sevoflurane has been shown to exert a protective effect on I/R injury in various organs. We investigated the effect of sevoflurane on the inflammatory functions of pulmonary epithelial cells in vitro. METHODS Human normal small airway epithelial cells (SAEC) were incubated under anoxic conditions for 24 h with or without sevoflurane and then stimulated with tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α under hyperoxic conditions for 5 h with or without sevoflurane. After incubation, IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1 mRNA expression was analysed by quantitative real-time RT-PCR. The production of IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1 was assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, the effects of sevoflurane on inflammatory gene expression were examined by DNA microarray analysis, and the effects of sevoflurane on NF-κB-mediated inflammatory cytokine production were examined by immunoblotting. RESULTS Sevoflurane suppressed TNF-α-induced IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1 gene expression and the production of IL-6 and IL-8 in SAEC under anoxia/reoxygenation conditions. DNA microarray analysis indicated that sevoflurane modulated NF-κB-related gene expression. Sevoflurane significantly inhibited TNF-α-induced translocation of p65 NF-κB into the nucleus. Sevoflurane enhanced TNF-α-induced gene expression of inhibitor κB (IκB) but not of NF-κB. CONCLUSIONS Sevoflurane suppressed the NF-κB-mediated production of pulmonary epithelial cell-derived inflammatory cytokines, including IL-6 and IL-8, which are capable of causing I/R injury.

Abstract
AIM: To elucidate the role of neuropilin-1 (Nrp-1) and semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) in sinusoidal remodeling during liver regeneration in rats.
METHODS: Male Wistar/ST rats at 7 wk of age, weighing about 200 g, were used for all animal experiments. In vivo, at 24, 48, 72, 96, 144 and 192 h after two-thirds partial hepatectomy (PHx), the remnant livers were removed. Liver tissues were immunohistochemically stained for Nrp-1, Sema3A and SE-1, a liver sinusoidal endothelial cell (SEC) marker. Total RNA of the liver tissue was extracted and reversely transcribed into cDNA. The mRNA expression of Sema3A was analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and normalized to that of ribosomal protein S18. In vitro, SECs were isolated from rat liver and cultured in endothelial growth medium containing 20 ng/mL vascular endothelial cell growth factor. Migration of SECs in primary culture was assessed by cell transwell assay with or without recombinant Sema3A. Apoptotic cells were determined by a terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick end labeling method.
RESULTS: In vitro, immunohistochemistry study revealed that Sema3A and Nrp-1 were constitutively expressed in hepatocytes and SECs, respectively, in normal rat liver tissues. Nrp-1 expression in SECs was quantified by the percentage of immunostained area with anti-Nrp-1 antibody in relation to the area stained with SE-1. Between 24 h and 96 h following resection of liver, Nrp-1 expression in SECs was transiently increased. Compared with the baseline (5.2% ± 0.1%), Nrp-1 expression in SECs significantly increased at 24 h (17.3% ± 0.7%, P < 0.05), 48 h (39.1% ± 0.6%, P < 0.01), 72 h (46.9% ± 4.5%, P < 0.01) and 96 h (29.9% ± 3.8%, P < 0.01) after PHx, then returned to the basal level at termination of liver regeneration. Interestingly, the expression of Sema3A was inversely associated with that of Nrp-1 in liver after PHx. Sema3A mRNA expression was significantly reduced by about 75% over the period 24-144 h after PHx (P < 0.05), and returned to basal levels at 192 h after PHx. In vitro, SECs isolated from rats after PHx (PHx-SECs) were observed to migrate to the lower chamber of the cell transwell system after incubation for 24 h, but not cells from normal rats (CONT-SECs), indicating that mobility of PHx-SECs increases as compared with that of CONT-SECs. Moreover, recombinant Sema3A significantly attenuated migration in PHx-SECs in primary culture (vehicle-treated 100% ± 7.9% vs Sema3A-treated 42.6% ± 5.4%, P < 0.01), but not in CONT-SECs. Compared with CONT-SECs, the apoptotic rate of PHx-SECs decreased by 78.3% (P < 0.05). There was no difference in apoptosis between CONT-SECs that were treated with vehicle and Sema3A. However, in PHx-SECs, apoptosis was induced by the presence of 5 nmol Sema3A for 24 h (vehicle-treated 21.7% ± 7.6% vs Sema3A-treated 104.3% ± 8.9%, P < 0.05). In addition, immunohistochemistry confirmed the increased expression of Nrp-1 in PHx-SECs, while it was noted to a lesser extent in CONT-SECs.
CONCLUSION: The interplay of Nrp-1 and Sema3A shown in our results may lead to a better understanding of interaction between sinusoidal remodeling and SECs during liver regeneration.

Abstract
Over the last 30 years, many studies have indicated that glycosphingolipids (GSLs) expressed on the cell surface may act as binding sites for microorganisms. Based on their physicochemical characteristics, GSLs form membrane microdomains with cholesterol, sphingomyelin, glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins, and various signaling molecules, and GSL-enriched domains have been shown to be involved in these defense responses. Among the GSLs, lactosylceramide (LacCer, CDw17) can bind to various microorganisms. LacCer is expressed at high levels on the plasma membrane of human neutrophils, and forms membrane microdomains associated with the Src family tyrosine kinase Lyn. LacCer-enriched membrane microdomains mediate superoxide generation, chemotaxis, and non-opsonic phagocytosis. Therefore, LacCer-enriched membrane microdomains are thought to function as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) to recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) expressed on microorganisms. In contrast, several pathogens have developed infection mechanisms using membrane microdomains. In addition, some pathogens have the ability to avoid degradation by escaping from the vacuolar compartment or preventing phagosome maturation, utilizing membrane microdomains, such as LacCer-enriched domains, of host cells. The detailed molecular mechanisms of these membrane microdomain-associated host-pathogen interactions remain to be elucidated.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A protein analysis using mass spectrometry revealed the existence of serum proteins with significant quantitative changes after the administration of infliximab. Among these proteins, regenerating gene (REG) 1α appears to be related to the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Therefore, the present study was conducted to examine the mechanism of REG1α in RA disease progression. METHODS Serum samples were collected from RA patients and normal healthy controls. REG1α expression was evaluated by ELISA, RT-PCR, and indirect immunofluorescence microscopy. The functions of REG1α on synovial fibroblasts with regard to apoptosis, receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) expression, and cellar proliferation were evaluated using siRNA to inhibit the intrinsic REG1α mRNA expression. RESULTS The serum concentrations of REG1α in RA patients were higher than in normal healthy controls. The high expression of REG1α was also observed in the synovial tissue of RA patients compared to those of osteoarthropathy patients. In addition, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) upregulated REG1α expression in the synovial fibroblasts cell line (MH7A). Inhibition of REG1α expression suppressed the induction of RANKL expression by TNF-α. Furthermore, exogenous recombinant REG1α protein inhibited apoptosis and promoted cell proliferation in MH7A cells. These effects were abolished in the REG1α-siRNA MH7A cells. CONCLUSION The present data suggest that TNF-α induces aberrant REG1α expression and that REG1α plays an important role in aberrant cell proliferation and RANKL expression of synovial fibroblasts, ultimately resulting in pannus formation. Restoration of normal physiological REG1α expression may contribute to disease amelioration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN To investigate whether di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) affects the production of inflammatory cytokines by human macrophages. MATERIALS AND METHODS Differentiated macrophage-like THP-1 cells were exposed to 200 μM DEHP for 3 h, followed by incubation in the presence or absence of opsonized zymosan A, and the concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-8, and IL-6 in the culture media were determined by ELISA. DNA microarray and quantitative real-time RT-PCR analyses were performed to identify genes that showed changes in expression in response to DEHP. RESULTS DEHP treatment increased the concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-8, and IL-6 in the media, regardless of whether the cells phagocytosed zymosan. DNA microarray analysis showed that DEHP increased the levels of expression of IL-8, CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL3, CXCL6, CCL3, MMP3, MMP10, MMP14, and CSF2 mRNA, and real-time RT-PCR showed that DEHP significantly enhanced the levels of expression of IL-8, CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL3, CXCL6, CCL3, MMP10, CSF2, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 mRNA in THP-1 cells. DEHP significantly induced translocation of p65 NF-κB into the nucleus. CONCLUSION DEHP enhances the production of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines by macrophages, and exacerbates their inflammatory response.

Abstract
Background Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) uptake by macrophages plays an important role in foam cell formation. It has been suggested the presence of heterogeneous subsets of macrophage, such as M1 and M2, in human atherosclerotic lesions. To evaluate which types of macrophages contribute to atherogenesis, we performed cDNA microarray analysis to determine oxLDL-induced transcriptional alterations of each subset of macrophages. Results Human monocyte-derived macrophages were polarized toward the M1 or M2 subset, followed by treatment with oxLDL. Then gene expression levels during oxLDL treatment in each subset of macrophages were evaluated by cDNA microarray analysis and quantitative real-time RT-PCR. In terms of high-ranking upregulated genes and functional ontologies, the alterations during oxLDL treatment in M2 macrophages were similar to those in nonpolarized macrophages (M0). Molecular network analysis showed that most of the molecules in the oxLDL-induced highest scoring molecular network of M1 macrophages were directly or indirectly related to transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1. Hierarchical cluster analysis revealed commonly upregulated genes in all subset of macrophages, some of which contained antioxidant response elements (ARE) in their promoter regions. A cluster of genes that were specifically upregulated in M1 macrophages included those encoding molecules related to nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells (NF-κB) signaling pathway. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR showed that the gene expression of interleukin (IL)-8 after oxLDL treatment in M2 macrophages was markedly lower than those in M0 and M1 cells. HMOX1 gene expression levels were almost the same in all 3 subsets of macrophages even after oxLDL treatment. Conclusions The present study demonstrated transcriptional alterations in polarized macrophages during oxLDL treatment. The data suggested that oxLDL uptake may affect TGF-β1- and NF-κB-mediated functions of M1 macrophages, but not those of M0 or M2 macrophages. It is likely that M1 macrophages characteristically respond to oxLDL.

Abstract
Introduction A protein analysis using a mass spectrometry indicated that there are serum proteins showing significant quantitative changes after the administration of infliximab. Among them, connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) seems to be related to the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate how CTGF is associated with the disease progression of RA. Methods Serum samples were collected from RA patients in active or inactive disease stages, and before or after treatments with infliximab. CTGF production was evaluated by ELISA, RT-PCR, indirect immunofluorescence microscopy, and immunoblotting. Osteoclastogenesis was evaluated using tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining, a bone resorption assay and osteoclasts specific catalytic enzymes productions. Results The serum concentrations of CTGF in RA were greater than in normal healthy controls and disease controls. Interestingly, those were significantly higher in active RA patients compared to inactive RA patients. Furthermore, the CTGF levels significantly were decreased by infliximab concomitant with the disease amelioration. In addition, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)α can induce the CTGF production from synovial fibroblasts even though TNFα can oppositely inhibit the production of CTGF from chondrocytes. CTGF promoted the induction of the quantitative and qualitative activities of osteoclasts in combination with M-CSF and receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL). In addition, we newly found integrin αVβ3 on the osteoclasts as a CTGF receptor. Conclusions These results indicate that aberrant CTGF production induced by TNFα plays a central role for the abnormal osteoclastic activation in RA patients. Restoration of aberrant CTGF production may contribute to the inhibition of articular destruction in infliximab treatment.

Abstract
Laminin-1, an extracellular matrix molecule, promotes neurite outgrowth through the interaction of integrin and actin. Monosialoganglioside GM1 in the lipid rafts associates with and activates the NGF receptor TrkA, and enhances neurite outgrowth. However, the role of GM1 in laminin-1-induced neurite outgrowth was still unclear. Here, we describe that laminin-1 binds to GM1 through a carbohydrate moiety and a specific conformation of GM1, induces focal formation of large clusters of GM1, and enhances the relocation of TrkA in the membrane of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and PC12 cells. We found that laminin-1-mediated clustering of GM1 causes the translocation and enrichment of beta1 integrin in lipid rafts--where TrkA colocalizes with beta1 integrin--and the activation of Lyn, Akt and MAPK to promote the outgrowth of neurites. Our results suggest that the binding of laminin-1 to GM1 facilitates the formation of a focal microdomain in the membrane, and enhances signal transduction that promotes neurite outgrowth by linking NGF-TrkA signaling with the laminin-integrin signaling pathways.
