Project description:Integrin b2 is an essential mediator of immune cell activation and trafficking via interaction with intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1. Expression of b2 integrins is thought to be restricted to cells of the hematopoietic lineage. Here we demonstrate nonhematopoietic expression and CD44-dependent induction and activation of integrin b2 by malignant melanoma cells. Tumor cell-b2 in patient primary melanomas correlates with sentinel lymph node metastases, mediates adhesion to ICAM-1, and promotes tumor progression in preclinical models of human and murine melanoma. Consistently, inhibition of melanoma cell-intrinsic b2 integrin using blocking antibodies or CRISPR/Cas9-based b2 gene knockout potently suppresses ICAM-1-dependent melanoma cell adhesion, tumor growth, and metastatic dissemination. Melanoma cell-b2:ICAM-1 interaction stimulates downstream Wnt pathway components, including non-canonical Wnt5a, the pharmacologic inhibition of which reverses protumorigenic melanoma-b2 integrin activity. This work identifies a tumor cell-intrinsic integrin b2:ICAM-1 protumorigenic axis as a bona fide cancer therapeutic target in melanoma.

Project description:The Kruppel-like factor 5 (Klf5) regulates pluripotent stem cell self-renewal but its role in somatic stem cells is unknown. Klf5 deficient hematopoietic stem cells and progenitors (HSC/P) fail to engraft after transplantation. This HSC/P defect was associated with impaired bone marrow (BM) homing and lodging and decreased retention in BM. The Klf5Δ/Δ HSC/P homing defect associated with decreased adhesion to fibronectin and expression of membrane-bound β1/β2-integrins. In vivo inducible gain-of-function of Klf5 in HSC translated into increased HSC/P adhesion. The expression of Rab5 family members, mediators of β1/β2-integrin recycling in the early endosome, was decreased in Klf5Δ/Δ HSC/P. Klf5 binds directly to the promoter of Rab5a/b and overexpression of Rab5b rescued the expression of activated β1/β2-integrins, adhesion and BM homing of Klf5Δ/Δ HSC/P. Altogether, these data indicate that Klf5 is indispensable for adhesion, homing, lodging and retention of HSC/P in the BM through Rab5-dependent post-translational regulation of Beta1/Beta2 integrins.

Project description:The bone marrow niche plays a critical role in controlling the fate of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) by integrating intrinsic and extrinsic signals. However, the molecular events in the HSC niche remain to be investigated. Here, we report that intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) maintains HSC quiescence and repopulation capacity in the niche. ICAM-1-deficient mice (ICAM-1-/-) displayed significant expansion of phenotypic long-term HSCs with impaired quiescence, as well as favors myeloid cell expansion. ICAM-1-deficient HSCs presented normal reconstitution capacity during serial transplantation; however, reciprocal transplantation experiments showed that ICAM-1 deficiency in the niche impaired HSCs quiescence and repopulation capacity. In addition, ICAM-1 deletion caused failure to retain HSCs in the bone marrow and changed the expression profile of stroma cell-derived factors, possibly representing the mechanism for defective HSCs in ICAM-1-/- mice. Collectively, these observations identify ICAM-1 as a regulator in the bone marrow niche.

Project description:Appropriate glucagon secretion from pancreatic alpha cells in response to hypoglycemia is an important component of maintaining glucose homeostasis. Dysregulated glucagon secretion leads to the delayed recovery from a hypoglycemic attack in type 1 diabetes patients which can be lethal. Although elucidating the precise mechanism of glucagon secretion in hypoglycemia is warranted, the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood.The present study provides evidence of the role of autophagy in glucagon secretion in hypoglycemia by demonstrating that autophagy regulates adrenergic stimulation of glucagon secretion downstream of beta2 adrenergic receptor. First, from the analyses of T1D human islets and the published database of scRNA-seq of T1D human alpha cells, we described autophagy pathways altered in T1D alpha cells. Second, we generated alpha cell-specific Atg7KO mice (alphaAtg7KO) and clarified that the lack of autophagy in alpha cells impairs the reactive glucagon secretion in acute hypoglycemia. Third, to interrogate the molecular mechanism of autophagy-mediated glucagon regulation, we analyzed top genes downregulated inT1D and T2D alpha cells and found the expression of beta2 adrenergic receptor showed significant down-regulation in T1D alpha cells. We confirmed the decreased expression of beta2 adrenergic receptor in alpha cells of the T1D pancreas section, the islets of alphaAtg7KO mice, and a murine alpha cell line with stable knockdown of Atg7. Furthermore, in vivo and ex vivo studies of alphaAtg7KO mice exhibited that lack of autophagy led to the loss of stimulatory effect of beta2-adrenergic signaling on glucagon secretion. Finally, we established the Atg7 knockdown model in sorted human alpha cells and confirmed the effect of autophagy on the expression of the beta2 adrenergic receptor. Together, our study provides novel insights into the regulatory role of autophagy in glucagon secretion in response to hypoglycemia and provides therapeutic options to achieve stable glycemic control in T1D patients.

Project description:Invasion of leukocytes, including neutrophils, in response to injury or infection relies on the orchestrated activation of integrins. The neutrophil integrin lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) has been implicated in the regulation of leukocyte adhesion by binding to ICAM-1 expressed on activated endothelial cells. The activation-dependent conformational change of LFA-1 to the high affinity conformation (H+) requires kindlin-3 binding to the tail of the β2-integrin. How the integrin linked kinase (ILK) affects activation of β2-integrins in leukocytes is currently unknown. Here, utilizing in vitro microfluidic adhesion chambers with conformation specific antibodies for neutrophil-like HL-60 cells, we show that knockdown of ILK reduces the conformational change of β2-integrins to the H+ conformation. Consequently, ILK-deficient mice show defects of leukocyte adhesion and recruitment in a chemokine and integrin-dependent cremaster muscle model and in a clinically relevant model of renal-ischemia-reperfusion-injury. Absence of protein kinase C (PKC)-α, which is known to phosphorylate Kindlin-3, reproduces such phenotype in bone marrow chimeric mice. ILK is required for chemokine-induced upregulation of PKC-α activity. Mass spectrometry analysis and western blot analyses revealed a stimulation- and ILK-dependent phosphorylation of kindlin-3 upon activation. Our data thus show that ILK impacts kindlin-3-dependent conformational activation of LFA-1, thus contributing to an inflammatory response.

Project description:The endothelial lining of blood vessels is covered with a thin polysaccharide coat called the glycocalyx. This layer of polysaccharides contains hyaluronan that forms a protective coat on the endothelial surface. Upon inflammation, leukocytes leave the circulation and enter inflamed tissue by crossing inflamed endothelial cells, mediated by adhesion molecules such as ICAM-1/CD54. To what extent the glycocalyx participates in the regulation of leukocyte transmigration is not clear. During extravasation, leukocyte integrins cluster ICAM-1, resulting in the recruitment of a number of intracellular proteins and subsequent downstream effects in the endothelial cells. Using an unbiased proteomics approach, we identified the full ICAM-1 adhesome and identified 93 new subunits of the ICAM-1 adhesome. Interestingly, we found the glycoprotein CD44 as part of the glycocalyx to be recruited to clustered ICAM-1 specifically. Our data demonstrate that CD44 binds hyaluronan to the endothelial surface, where it locally concentrates and presents chemokines that are essential for leukocytes to cross the endothelial lining. Together, we discover a link between ICAM-1 clustering and hyaluronan-mediated chemokine presentation by recruiting hyaluronan to sites of leukocyte adhesion via CD44.

Project description:Using single-molecule force spectroscopy to probe ICAM-1 interactions with recombinant alphaLbeta2 immobilized on microspheres and beta2 integrin on neutrophils, we quantified an impressive hierarchy of long-lived, high-strength states of the integrin bond, which start from basal levels with integrin activation in solutions of divalent cations and shift dramatically upward to hyperactivated states with cell signaling in leukocytes. Taking advantage of very rare events, we used repeated measurements of bond lifetimes under steady ramps of force to achieve a direct assay for the off-rates of ICAM-1 from beta2 integrin in each experiment. Of fundamental importance, the assay for off-rates does not depend on how the force is applied over time, and remains valid when the rates of dissociation change with different levels of force. In this first article, we present results from tests of a monovalent ICAM-1 probe against immobilized alphaLbeta2 in environments of divalent cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, and Mn2+) and demonstrate in detail the method for assay of off-rates. When extrapolated to zero force, the force-free values for the off-rates are found to be consistent with published solution-based assays of soluble ICAM-1 dissociation from immobilized LFA-1, i.e., approximately 10(-2)/s in Mg2+ or Mn2+ and approximately 1/s in Ca2+. At the same time, as expected for adhesive function, we find that the beta2 integrin bonds activated in Mn2+ or Mg2+ possess significant and persistent mechanical strength (e.g., >20 pN for >1 s) even when subjected to slow force ramps (<10 pN/s). As discussed in our companion article, using the same assay, we find that although the rates of dissociation for diICAM-1fc bonds to LFA-1 on neutrophils in Mn2+ are similar to those for mICAM-1 bonds to recombinant alphaLbeta2 on microspheres, they appear to represent a dimeric attachment to a pair of tightly clustered integrin heterodimers. The mechanical strengths and lifetimes of the dimeric interactions increase dramatically when the neutrophils are stimulated by the chemokine IL-8 or are bound with an allosterically activating (anti-CD18) monoclonal antibody, demonstrating the major impact of cell signaling on LFA-1.
