This review will discuss a number of specific cell adhesion molecules present on the surface of endothelial and epithelial cells in the lung. Molecules such as integrins, proteoglycans, and the hyaluronic acid receptor, CD44, are found on the abluminal or basement membrane side of the cell and function as cell-substratum receptors. Cadherins, integrins, and platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) are present at the cell-cell borders of adjacent endothelial and/or epithelial cells and function to initiate or maintain cell-cell adhesion. Finally, a number of inducible cell adhesion molecules such as endothelial-leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 (ELAM-1), granule-associated membrane protein 140 (GMP140), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) are expressed on the luminal surfaces of these cells during inflammation and function as cell-cell adhesion molecules important in white blood cell, platelet, or tumor cell adhesion. These adhesion molecules likely play important roles in maintaining the normal structure and function of the lung, as well as participating in pulmonary processes such as inflammation, wound healing, and the development and spread of malignant disease. 相似文献

Squamous mucosal epithelial cells constitutively express calprotectin in the cytoplasm. To study how this antimicrobial protein complex confers epithelial resistance to invading bacteria, an epithelial cell line was stably transfected to express the calprotectin complex. Cells expressing calprotectin resist invasion by Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. Calprotectin expression was accompanied by altered actin organization, increased alpha3 integrin expression, and spreading cell morphology. In this study, we assessed whether calprotectin expression affects bacterial binding and uptake. Threefold-fewer Listeria organisms bound to the surfaces of calprotectin-expressing cells, and 10-fold fewer were localized intracellularly by immunofluorescence. Similarly, fewer Salmonella organisms bound to cells expressing calprotectin. Calprotectin-expressing and sham-transfected cells showed similar levels of expression of surface E-cadherin and intracellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) by flow cytometry. Calprotectin-expressing transfectants expressed calprotectin on the cell surface as well as in the cytosol. In conclusion, two bacterial pathogens showed reduced binding to calprotectin-expressing epithelial cells. Calprotectin-expressing cells appeared to have internalized disproportionately fewer Listeria organisms, suggesting that reduced binding and translocation supplemented direct antimicrobial effects in calprotectin-expressing cells. 相似文献

Dysregulated host/microbial interactions play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease. We previously reported that chitinase 3-like-1 (CHI3L1) enhances bacterial adhesion and invasion on/into colonic epithelial cells (CECs). In this study, we designed to identify the exact mechanism of how CHI3L1 enhances the bacterial adhesion on CECs in vitro. As compared with wild type (WT) of Serratia marcescens, chitin binding protein (CBP) 21 knockout strain of S. marcescens significantly decreased the adhesion to SW480 cells that express CHI3L1 endogenously. A CBP21 fusion protein was produced with CBP21-expressing vector, which was transformed into BL21 strain of Escherichia coli. CBP21 overexpression significantly increased the adhesion, but not invasion, of nonpathogenic E. coli. The adhesion of S. marcescens and CBP21-overexpressing E. coli was inhibited by coculture with chitin, but not with other carbohydrates. After overexpressing CHI3L1 on SW480 cells, the adhesion rate of CBP21-overexpressing E. coli was further increased by approximately twofold. Genetically engineered E. coli with a single mutation of either Thy-54 or Glu-55 position of CBP21 exhibited a decreased binding ability, and the binding was 74% diminished by the combined mutations of three amino acids (Thy-54, Glu-55 and Glu-60) as compared with WT. Inhibition of CHI3L1 by anti-CHI3L1 antibody or CHI3L1-specific short interfering RNA reduced the adhesion of CBP21-overexpressing E. coli to CECs. In conclusion, CHI3L1 is involved in the enhancement of CBP-expressing bacterial adhesion to CECs. CBP21 and its homologs may be required for the CHI3L1-mediated enhancement of bacterial adhesion to CECs through the conserved amino-acid residues. 相似文献

Retrovirus-induced immunosuppression via blocking of dendritic cell migration and down-regulation of adhesion molecules. 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:3
Dendritic cells (DC) within tissues may acquire and process antigens, carry them into lymph nodes and cluster and activate T cells. The ability of DC to acquire antigen and to migrate to lymph nodes was estimated during murine retroviral infection caused by Rauscher leukaemia virus (RLV). A novel mechanism of inducing immunodeficiency has now been identified. In mice infected with RLV, DC failed to migrate into lymph nodes following exposure of the skin to the contact sensitizer, fluorescein isothiocyanate. RLV infection of a proportion of DC both in skin and lymph nodes, shown by semi-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and down-regulation of expression of adhesion molecules (CD54 and CD44) on the surface of Langerhans' cells, may contribute to the described phenomenon. A failure of DC migration could be an important immunosuppressive mechanism of RLV infection in mice and we speculate on a similar role for DC in human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infection in humans. 相似文献

Cell to cell adhesion is important for mechanisms of cellular recognition, growth, and differentiation. The identification of molecules involved in these interactions is necessary in order to understand the molecular basis of these processes. We have previously described the development of two different thymic epithelial cell lines (TECS and TECL). Using an assay with radiolabeled thymocytes we found that thymocytes can adhere specifically to these thymic epithelial cells. This adhesion is trypsin sensitive, suggesting that involvement of specific cell surface proteins. In the present study we further characterize and begin identification of the molecules involved in this interaction. We found that thymocyte binding to thymic epithelial cells requires the presence of Ca2+ and Mg2+ and is mediated by a molecule greater than 10,000 MW. Also, we identified several antibodies which inhibit the adhesion of thymocytes to TECS. The membrane nature of the molecule mediating this interaction was confirmed by the ability of thymocyte membranes to block the inhibitory antibodies. 相似文献

Intestinal epithelial cells and antigen-presenting cells orchestrate mucosal innate immunity. This study investigated the role of bacterial DNA in modulating epithelial and bone marrow-derived antigen-presenting cells (BM-APCs) and subsequent T-lymphocyte responses. Murine MODE-K epithelial cells and BM-APCs were treated with DNA from either Bifidobacterium breve or Salmonella enterica serovar Dublin directly and under coculture conditions with CD4(+) T cells. Apical stimulation of MODE-K cells with S. Dublin DNA enhanced secretion of cytokines from underlying BM-APCs and induced interleukin-17 (IL-17) and gamma interferon (IFN-γ) secretion from CD4(+) T cells. Bacterial DNA isolated from either strain induced maturation and increased cytokine secretion from BM-APCs. Conditioned medium from S. Dublin-treated MODE-K cells elicited an increase in cytokine secretion similar to that seen for S. Dublin DNA. Treatment of conditioned medium from MODE-K cells with RNase and protease prevented the S. Dublin-induced increased cytokine secretion. Oral feeding of mice with B. breve DNA resulted in enhanced levels of colonic IL-10 and transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) compared with what was seen for mice treated with S. Dublin DNA. In contrast, feeding mice with S. Dublin DNA increased levels of colonic IL-17 and IL-12p70. T cells from S. Dublin DNA-treated mice secreted high levels of IL-12 and IFN-γ compared to controls and B. breve DNA-treated mice. These results demonstrate that intestinal epithelial cells are able to modulate subsequent antigen-presenting and T-cell responses to bacterial DNA with pathogenic but not commensal bacterial DNA inducing effector CD4(+) T lymphocytes. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Rhinoviruses have been recently associated with the majority of asthma exacerbations for which current therapy is inadequate. Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) has a central role in airway inflammation in asthma, and it is the receptor for 90% of rhinoviruses. Rhinovirus infection of airway epithelium induces ICAM-1. Desloratadine and loratadine are compounds belonging to the new class of H(1)-receptor blockers. Anti-inflammatory properties of antihistamines have been recently documented, although the underlying molecular mechanisms are not completely defined. OBJECTIVE: We have investigated the effects of desloratadine and loratadine on rhinovirus-induced ICAM-1 expression, mRNA upregulation, and promoter activation. METHODS: Cultured primary bronchial or transformed (A549) respiratory epithelial cells were pretreated with desloratadine and loratadine for 16 hours and infected with rhinovirus type 16 for 8 hours. ICAM-1 surface expression was evaluated with flow cytometry, and ICAM-1 mRNA was evaluated with specific RT-PCR. In A549 cells promoter activation was evaluated with a chloramphenicol acetyltransferase assay, and binding activity of nuclear factor kappa B in nuclear extracts was evaluated with an electrophoretic mobility shift assay. RESULTS: Desloratadine and loratadine (0.1-10 micromol/L) inhibited rhinovirus-induced ICAM-1 upregulation in both primary bronchial or transformed (A549) respiratory epithelial cells. In A549 cells the 2 compounds showed a dose-dependent inhibition with similar efficacy (inhibitory concentration of 50%, 1 micromol/L). Desloratadine and loratadine also inhibited ICAM-1 mRNA induction caused by rhinovirus infection in a dose-dependent manner, and they completely inhibited rhinovirus-induced ICAM-1 promoter activation. Desloratadine also inhibited rhinovirus-induced nuclear factor kappa B activation. Desloratadine and loratadine had no direct effect on rhinovirus infectivity and replication in cultured epithelial cells. CONCLUSION: These effects are unlikely to be mediated by H(1)-receptor antagonism and suggest a novel mechanism of action that may be important for the therapeutic control of virus-induced asthma exacerbations. 相似文献

Cell-cell interaction is critical for normal T cell development and function. A number of adhesion molecules important in T cell interactions with other cell types have been defined. This paper reviews the role of two adhesion pathways, CD2/LFA-3 and LFA-1/ICAM-1, in T cell interactions with epithelial cells of the thymus and skin. While thymic epithelium-T cell interactions are mediated by both the LFA-1/ICAM-1 pathway and the CD2/LFA-3 pathway, epidermal-T cell interactions are mediated primarily by the LFA-1/ICAM-1 pathway. Although ICAM-1 is not expressed in vivo on epidermal keratinocytes in normal skin, ICAM-1 is expressed by epidermal keratinocytes at the site of T cell infiltration in inflammatory dermatitis. ICAM-1 is expressed in vivo on thymic epithelium. These antigen independent adhesion molecules play an important role in the cell-cell interactions associated with T cell differentiation and function. 相似文献

Adhesion of corneal epithelial cells to cell adhesion peptide modified pHEMA surfaces 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Epithelialization of a corneal implant is a desirable property. In this study we compared surface modification of poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) with the cell adhesion peptides RGDS and YIGSR. Various parameters in the tresyl chloride activation and modification reactions were considered in order to maximize surface coverage with the peptide including tresyl chloride reaction solvent. tresyl chloride reaction time, tresyl chloride concentration, peptide concentration, and peptide reaction pH. Surface chemistry and corneal epithelial cell adhesion to the modified surfaces were examined. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data suggested that while peptide modification had occurred, surface coverage with the peptide was incomplete. Acetone was found to result in a higher fraction of nitrogen and surface bound carboxyl groups compared to dioxane and ether. Furthermore, corneal epithelial cell adhesion to the surfaces for which acetone was used for the activation reaction was significantly greater. Statistical analysis of the various samples suggests that lower peptide concentrations and higher tresyl chloride reaction times result in better cell adhesion. Furthermore, modification with YIGSR resulted in higher surface concentrations and better cell adhesion than modification with RGDS. Little or no cell adhesion was noted on the unmodified pHEMA controls. Protein adsorption results suggest that the differences in cell adhesion cannot be attributed to differences in serum protein adsorption from the culture medium. We conclude that YIGSR modified surfaces have significant potential for further development in corneal applications. 相似文献

The neural cell adhesion molecules (NCAM) are surface glycoproteins that were first described in brain tissue. NCAM mediate adhesion in a variety of cell-cell interactions. In the present study we show that the so-called "embryonic" NCAM, i.e., the highly polysialylated forms of these proteins, are expressed on natural killer cells and some CD3+ cells in man. Homotypic binding of NCAM, believed to be of importance for cell-cell adhesion in neural tissues, appears not to be essential for NK cell-mediated killing. Yet, NCAM might be involved in NK cell migration, homing or related functions. 相似文献

ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) can be associated with septic shock and multiple organ failure caused by an uncontrolled systemic inflammatory response to Gram-negative bacterial infection. While in animal models the key role of the endothelial adhesion molecules ICAM-1, E-selectin, and VCAM in ARDS has been extensively studied, there are scarcely any corresponding pathomorphological studies of human lung tissue. Hence, little is known about whether there is a comparable, or even heterogeneous, expression pattern of these molecules in the human pulmonary vasculature. This study was therefore undertaken to investigate the immunohistochemical expression of the constitutively expressed PECAM (CD31) and the inducible molecules ICAM-1, E-selectin, and VCAM in ARDS lungs from patients who had died in septic shock induced by Gram-negative bacteria. While in all specimens (ARDS and normal lungs) there was homogeneous strong expression of PECAM in all vessels, ICAM-1 was clearly up-regulated in ARDS lungs. E-selectin and VCAM were not expressed by endothelial cells (ECs) in normal lungs, but in ARDS lungs there was strong expression of both molecules in larger vessels, while in the capillaries there was only mosaic-like weak expression of a few ECs. This immunohistochemical investigation demonstrates the induction and up-regulation of adhesion molecules in human ARDS lungs, comparable to that described in animal models. There is also markedly heterogeneous expression of E-selectin and VCAM, indicating toporegional differences in the function of pulmonary ECs. 相似文献

We reported previously that N-myc downstream-regulated gene 2 (NDRG2), a member of a new family of differentiation-related genes, is expressed specifically in dendritic cells (DC) differentiated from monocytes, CD34(+) progenitor cells, and the myelomonocytic leukemic cell line. In this study, we demonstrate that NDRG2 protein expression is detected, not only in in vitro-differentiated DC but also in primary DC from lymph nodes, thymus, and skin when anti-NDRG2 antibodies are used. As predicted from previous studies investigating the mRNA expression pattern of several types of cell lines, progenitor cells, and DC, NDRG2 protein was expressed strongly in DC. Its expression was detected at significant levels after differentiation from progenitor cells. RNA interference of NDRG2 demonstrated that activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule (ALCAM) expression is down-regulated specifically in DC differentiated from NDRG2 small interfering RNA (siRNA)-transfected monocytes. This was consistent with our observation that U937 cells transfected with NDRG2 became resistant to the GM-CSF/IL-4-induced ALCAM reduction. Furthermore, DC, which had differentiated from NDRG2 siRNA-transfected monocytes, showed a reduced ability to induce T cell proliferation. Taken together, our results indicate that NDRG2 is able to preserve ALCAM expression during DC differentiation from monocytes under cytokine culture conditions and that its expression helps DC maintain costimulatory signals necessary for T cell stimulation. 相似文献

Porphyromonas gingivalis is one of the principal organisms associated with adult periodontitis. Bacterial surface proteins such as fimbriae and gingipain hemagglutinin domains have been implicated as adhesins that actuate colonization of epithelium lining the gingival sulcus. We investigated the genetics of P. gingivalis adhesion to monolayers of epithelial cells using wild-type and gingipain mutant strains. These experiments suggested that arginine-specific gingipain (Rgp) catalytic activity modulated adhesion. From the data obtained with rgp mutants, we constructed a working hypothesis predicting that attachment and detachment of P. gingivalis to epithelial cells were mediated by gingipain adhesin and Rgp catalytic domains, respectively. A membrane-based epithelial cell binding assay, used to locate adhesins in extracellular fractions of wild-type and mutant strains, recognized gingipain peptides as adhesins rather than fimbriae. We developed a capture assay that demonstrated the binding of gingipain adhesin peptides to oral epithelial cells. The adherence of fimbrillin to epithelial cells was detected after heat denaturation of cell fractions. The prediction that Rgp catalytic activities mediated detachment was substantiated when the high level of attachment of an rgp mutant was reduced in the presence of wild-type cell fractions that contained gingipain catalytic activities. 相似文献

Vaginal epithelial cells from healthy women were washed and incubated in tissue culture medium with freshly isolated bacteria of the indigenous vaginal flora and with bacteria of species that have been discussed in conjunction with genital infections. After incubation and washing, the number of bacteria that adhered per cell was determined. The influence on the attachment rate of such factors as variations in the washing procedure, bacterial density, and incubation time was assessed. Lactobacillus acidophilus and other bacterial species that occur in the lower genital tract of healthy women, e.g., some strictly anaerobic species, adhered by significantly lower numbers per cell than Neisseria gonorrhoeae, group B streptococci, and Corynebacterium vaginale. Significantly more freshly isolated gonococci adhered per cell than gonococci that had been passaged on artificial medium. The adherence of gonococci increased with increasing acidity of the test medium. 相似文献
