Integrin subunit CD18 Is the T-lymphocyte receptor for the Helicobacter pylori vacuolating cytotoxin

Abstract

Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with gastritis, ulcerations, and gastric adenocarcinoma. H. pylori secretes the vacuolating cytotoxin (VacA), a major pathogenicity factor. VacA has immunosuppressive effects, inhibiting interleukin-2 (IL-2) secretion by interference with the T cell receptor/IL-2 signaling pathway at the level of calcineurin, the Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent phosphatase. Here, we show that VacA efficiently enters activated, migrating primary human T lymphocytes by binding to the beta2 (CD18) integrin receptor subunit and exploiting the recycling of lymphocyte function-associated antigen (LFA)-1. LFA-1-deficient Jurkat T cells were resistant to vacuolation and IL-2 modulation, and genetic complementation restored sensitivity to VacA. VacA targeted human, but not murine, CD18 for cell entry, consistent with the species-specific adaptation of H. pylori. Furthermore, expression of human integrin receptors (LFA-1 or Mac-1) in murine T cells resulted in VacA-mediated cellular vacuolation. Thus, H. pylori co-opts CD18 as a VacA receptor on human T lymphocytes to subvert the host immune response.

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. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

CD4/CD8 Signaling

Cluster of differentiation 4 and 8 (CD8 and CD8) are glycoproteins founds on the surface of immune cells. Here is the latest research on their role in cell signaling pathways.

Advanced Imaging of Cellular Signaling

Cell signaling is a vital mechanism for communication within cells and outside with the environment.
