Abstract

Intracellular cross-talk between LFA-1 and its counter receptor, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), on human monocytic cell line THP-1 was analyzed. Stimulation with mAb YH384 specific for LFA-1 alpha (CD11a) up-regulated ICAM-1 expression on THP-1 cells. Cell surface expression of ICAM-1 on THP-1 cells was dose-dependently up-regulated and reached the maximal level 24 hr after stimulation with mAb YH384. Up-regulation of ICAM-1 by mAb YH384 was further confirmed by Northern blotting analysis at the mRNA level, and the maximal message of ICAM-1 was observed 4 hr after stimulation. mAb YH384-induced upregulation of cell surface expression was ICAM-1-specific, and the expression of the other nine molecules tested was not augmented. Up-regulation of ICAM-1 was also observed following stimulation with other mAb specific for CD11a (S6F1), CD11b (JML-H11), and CD18 (IB4); all of these mAb recognized members of the beta 2-integrin family, but not with isotype-matched control mAb. The mAb 4B4 (specific for beta 1-integrin) similarly, but more weakly, augmented ICAM-1 expression. The effect of mAb YH384 on expression of ICAM-1 was dose-dependently suppressed by treatment with herbimycin A or genistein, both inhibitors of tyrosi...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
