Abstract
Influenza viruses pose a substantial threat to human and animal health worldwide. Recent studies in mouse models have revealed an indispensable role for the innate immune system in defense against influenza virus. Recognition of the virus by innate immune receptors in a multitude of cell types activates intricate signaling networks, functioning to restrict viral replication. Downstream effector mechanisms include activation of innate immune cells and, induction and regulation of adaptive immunity. However, uncontrolled innate responses are associated with exaggerated disease, especially in pandemic influenza virus infection. Despite advances in the understanding of innate response to influenza in the mouse model, there is a large knowledge gap in humans, particularly in immunocompromised groups such as infants and the elderly. We propose here, the need for further studies in humans to decipher the role of innate immunity to influenza virus, particularly at the site of infection. These studies will complement the existing work in mice and facilitate the quest to design improved vaccines and therapeutic strategies against influenza.

Abstract
GPR56 is a relatively recent addition to the adhesion-GPCR family. Genetic and biochemical studies uncovered its roles in cancer and development and established its function as an adhesion receptor to mediate the interactions between cells and extracellular matrix. Despite of much progress on understanding its biological implications, the mechanism of its function remains elusive. It has not been firmly established whether GPR56 signals directly through G proteins and what its upstream stimuli and downstream effectors are to execute its various biological effects. This chapter will give an overview of the primary structures of the Gpr56 gene and its encoded protein and attempt to point out open questions in this research area, with an emphasis on its roles in cancer and signal transduction.

Abstract
To elucidate the role of secondary structure in the immune response against alpha(2-->8)-linked polysialic acid, the capsular polysaccharide of Group B meningococci, we have investigated its solution dynamics by using specific models of molecular motion and hydrodynamic modeling to interpret experimental NMR data. (13)C-[(1)H] NMR relaxation times and steady-state NOE enhancements were measured for two aqueous solutions of alpha(2-->8)-linked sialic acid polysaccharides. Each contained a unique distribution of polysaccharide chain lengths, with average lengths estimated at 40 or 400 residues. Models for rigid molecule tumbling, including two based on helical conformations proposed for the polysaccharide,(31) could not explain the NMR measurements. In general for these helices, the correlation times for their overall tumbling that best account for the NMR data correspond to polysaccharide chains between 9 and 18 residues in length, far short of the average lengths estimated for either solution. The effects of internal motions incorporated into these helices was modeled with an effective correlation time representing helix tumbling as well as internal motion. This modeling demonstrated that even with extreme amounts of internal motion, "flexible helices" of 25 residues or more still could not produce the NMR measurements. All data are consistent with internal and segmental motions dominating the nuclear magnetic relaxation of the polysaccharide and not molecular tumbling. Statistical distributions of correlation times have been found specifically for the pyranose rings, linkage groups, and methoxy groups that can account for the measured relaxation times and NOE enhancements. The distributions suggest that considerable flexibility attends the polysaccharide in solution, and the ranges of motional frequencies for the linkage groups and pyranose rings are comparable. We conclude that the Group B meningococcal polysaccharide is a random coil chain in solution, and therefore, does not have antigenic epitopes dependent upon a rigid, ordered conformation.

Abstract
Abstract
Selectins are carbohydrate-binding cell adhesion molecules that play a key role in the initiation of inflammatory responses. Several studies have suggested that the sialylated, fucosylated tetrasaccharide sialyl Lewis X (sLex) is an important component of leukocyte ligands for E- and P-selectin. We have identified a stable variant of the HL60 cell line, HL60var, which displays a nearly complete absence of staining with several mAb directed against sLex and/or sLex-related structures. HL60var also exhibits a concomitant increase in reactivity with mAb directed against the unsialylated Lewis X (Lex/CD15) structure. Despite this sLex deficiency, HL60var binds well to both E- and P-selectin. No significant differences in expression of α1,3-fucosyltransferases, C2GnT (Core2 transferase), or P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 between HL60var and typical sLexhigh HL60 cells were detected. Although the precise molecular basis for the sLex−/low phenotype of HL60var remains uncertain, flow cytometric analysis with the sialic acid-specific Limax flavus lectin revealed a sharp reduction in HL60var surface sialylation. Thus, the loss in mAb reactivity may result from a loss of sialic acid residues from the mAb carbohydrate epitope. However, binding of HL60var to E- and P-selectin remains sensitive to neuraminidase treatment. Taken together, these data indicate that high levels of surface sLex and/or related epitopes are not essential for interactions with vascular selectins, implying that as yet unidentified sialylated, fucosylated structures serve as physiologically relevant ligands for E- and P-selectin.

Abstract
Directed emigration of leukocytes into inflammatory sites and lymphatic tissues is orchestrated by the regulated expression of adhesion and signaling molecules on cells within the vasculature. The selectin family of adhesion molecules that are expressed on activated endothelial cells (E-selectin and P-selectin), activated platelets (P-selectin), and peripheral blood leukocytes (L-selectin), mediate tethering and rolling of leukocytes to the vessel wall in the microcirculation. Selectins promote these interactions by binding to glycoconjugate ligands expressed on apposing cells. Selectin-mediated rolling is a prerequisite for firm adhesion and subsequent transendothelial migration of leukocytes into tissues. This review will focus on the structure and function of P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1, CD162). PSGL-1 is a disulfide-bonded homodimeric mucin-like glycoprotein on leukocytes that interacts with P-, L-, and E-selectin. PSGL-1 mediates leukocyte-endothelial and leukocyte-platelet adhesion by binding to P-selectin expressed on activated endothelium and platelets and PSGL-1 mediates leukocyte-leukocyte adhesion by binding to L-selectin expressed on apposing leukocytes. PSGL-1 is unique in that it is the only selectin glycoprotein ligand that has been directly demonstrated to mediate cell-cell adhesion in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
AbstractLeukocyte rolling is the earliest observable event in their recruitment from the circulation to inflamed tissue. This rolling is mediated largely by interaction between the selectin family of adhesion molecules and their glycosylated ligands. Although the nature of these ligands and their interaction with the selectins is not fully understood, it is accepted that expression of fucosylated sialylated glycans such as sialyl Lewisx (sLex) is required for function. Despite findings that sLex inhibits binding of leukocytes to E-selectin in vitro, and has beneficial effects in inflammatory disease models, inhibition of E-selectin–dependent leukocyte rolling in vivo has not been described. Functional overlap between the selectins has been noted and reduction of rolling by E-selectin antibodies only occurs if P-selectin is absent or blocked. We demonstrate that leukocyte rolling velocity in tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα)-stimulated mouse cremaster is increased following treatment with either sLex or the sLex-mimetic CGP69669A and that rolling is dramatically reduced if CGP69669A is applied in the presence of anti–P-selectin antibody. These effects are characteristic of E-selectin antagonism. In contrast, surgically stimulated (L- or P-selectin–dependent) rolling is unaffected by either sLex or CGP69669A. Our data demonstrate that CGP69669A is an effective and selective antagonist of E-selectin in vivo.

Abstract
Neutrophils and platelets interact both physically and metabolically during inflammation and thrombosis, but the mechanisms responsible for their adhesion remain incompletely understood. Neutrophil-platelet adhesion was measured after specific stimulation of neutrophils, platelets, or both and quantified by flow cytometry. Specific stimulation of either the neutrophil or the platelet led to a marked increase in the percentage of neutrophils that bound platelets, although platelet stimulation led to a large increase and neutrophil stimulation to only a small increase in the number of platelets per neutrophil. Stimulation of both cells further increased the number of neutrophil-platelet adhesive events and led to large numbers of platelets binding to each neutrophil. Confirming previous observations, blocking antibodies to platelet P-selectin (CD62P) partially inhibited adhesion. However, blockade of the neutrophil beta2 integrin CD11b/CD18 also inhibited the percentage of neutrophils that bound platelets. Combining P-selectin and CD11b/18 blockade further inhibited the stimulated increase in the percentage of neutrophils binding platelets and the increased number of platelets per neutrophil. Both cell adhesion molecules were active even when only a single cell type was primarily activated, supporting physiologically important transcellular activation. These data suggest that: (1) neutrophil-platelet adhesion can be initiated by specific activation of either the neutrophil or the platelet and that specific activation of either cell type leads to distinct patterns of adhesion, and (2) neutrophil-platelet adhesion uses both platelet P-selectin and the neutrophil beta2 integrin CD11b/CD18 when the cells are primarily or secondarily activated.

Abstract
The initial reactions of graphite and gold with blood were investigated by short-time exposure to capillary blood and detection of surface-adsorbed plasma proteins and cells with an immunofluorescence technique. Antibodies specific to fibrinogen, complement factors C1q and C3c, prothrombin/thrombin, von Willebrand factor, and platelet- and leukocyte-membrane antigens were used. The fluorescence intensity was quantitated by computer-aided image analysis. Fibrinogen was the most abundant plasma protein immobilized on either surface, and dense populations of platelets adhered to the protein layer. Complement factors and prothrombin/thrombin were found on the graphite surface, localized in fibrin clots or related to platelets. Platelets were activated (expression of selectin CD62) on both surfaces but more extensively so on the gold surface. Activation of polymorphonuclear granulocytes (PMNGs), measured as expression of integrin CD11b, was seen on both surfaces but with different kinetics. On the graphite surface, the CD11b expression was only transient whereas on gold it increased with time. Our data indicate that graphite is more thrombogenic than gold but less inflammatory.

Abstract
The initial reactions of two TiO2 surfaces with blood were investigated by short-time exposure to capillary blood and analysis of surface-adsorbed plasma proteins and surface-adhering cells by using immunofluorescence techniques. Antibodies directed against platelet membrane antigen and P-selectin were used to visualize platelet adhesion and activation. Acridine orange and anti-CD11b were used to detect adhesion and activation of polymorphonuclear granulocytes (PMNs). Antibodies against thrombospondin were used as markers for platelet alpha-granules. The fluorescence intensity was quantitated by computer-aided image analysis. Commercially pure, polished sheet titanium was oxidized in two different ways: (1) the natural oxide was dissolved with hydrofluoric acid and a new oxide layer was grown by oxidation in nitric acid, or (2) annealing was performed at 700 degrees C in air. Auger electron spectroscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that both surfaces had similar composition consisting of TiO2 covered by a carbonaceous surface contamination layer. The thickness of the oxide layer was 4 nm on the acid-oxidized surface and 39 nm on the annealed surface. Optical profilometry and scanning electron microscopy showed that the acid-oxidized surface was rough and the annealed surface was smooth. The fibrinogen/prothrombin-thrombin ratio in the initial protein film differed between the surfaces. The number of adhering platelets was larger at the surface with a high surface concentration of adsorbed fibrinogen. Platelet activation (CD62) and priming of PMNs (CD 11b) were also significantly higher on the acid-oxidized surface. The results indicate that non-self recognition of biomaterials is an array of transient reactions comprising protein-material, protein-cell, and cell-cell interactions.

Abstract
P-selectin is a vascular cell adhesion molecule that is expressed on the surface of platelets and endothelial cells in response to inflammatory stimuli. It is believed to aid in the binding and recruitment of leukocytes to inflamed tissue. P-selectin adhesion to leukocytes is mediated by the amino-terminal lectin domain that binds the sialyl LewisX (sLeX) carbohydrate (Neu5Acalpha2-3Galbeta1-4(Fucalpha1-3)GlcNAc). Neither the three-dimensional structure of P-selectin nor the protein-carbohydrate interactions that mediate the binding of P-selectin to the sLeX carbohydrate have been determined. The most closely related protein for which a ligand-bound three-dimensional structure has been resolved is the rat mannose-binding protein (Weis, W. I., Drickamer, K., and Hendrickson, W. A. (1992) Nature 360, 127-134). Using the known binding interactions that occur between the rat mannose-binding protein and its ligand (oligomannose) as a template, we have used site-directed mutagenesis to substitute Ala-77 with lysine. This substitution changed P-selectin-carbohydrate binding specificity from sLeX to oligomannose. Further substitution altered the binding preference from mannose to galactose in a predictable manner. These results indicate that P-selectin binds sLeX in a shallow cleft that is similar to the mannose-binding protein saccharide-binding cleft. Additionally, we present an extensive mutagenic analysis of P-selectin Lys-113, a residue that has previously been implicated in P-selectin binding to both sLeX and 3-sulfated galactosylceramide (sulfatide). Our analysis demonstrates that Lys-113 is probably not involved in P-selectin binding to either sulfatide or sLeX. Functionally, it appears that P-selectin has retained a conserved carbohydrate and calcium coordination site that enables it to bind carbohydrate in a manner that is quite similar to that which has been determined for the rat mannose-binding protein.

Abstract
P-selectin binding to neutrophils requires a specific protein, P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 (PSGL-1), as well as sialyl-Lewis X (sLex) glycan determinants. We have found that a short segment near the amino terminus of PSGL-1 that contains a tyrosine sulfation consensus is essential for P-selectin adhesion and that addition of the amino-terminal segment to some but not all mucin-like molecules confers on those molecules the ability to bind P-selectin. PSGL-1 synthesized in the presence of sulfation inhibitors binds P-selectin weakly, and within the amino-terminal 20 residues, mutation of the tyrosines to phenylalanine abolishes binding. Rolling of HL-60 cells on P-selectin-coated coverslips is strongly attenuated by treatment of cells with an inhibitor of sulfation.

Abstract
P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) is a mucin-like glycoprotein on leukocytes that is a high affinity ligand for P-selectin. Previous studies have shown that sialylation and fucosylation of PSGL-1 are required for its binding to P-selectin, but other post-translational modifications of PSGL-1 may also be important. We demonstrate that PSGL-1 synthesized in human HL-60 cells can be metabolically labeled with [35S]sulfate that is incorporated primarily into tyrosine sulfate. Treatment of PSGL-1 with a bacterial arylsulfatase releases sulfate from tyrosine, resulting in a concordant decrease in binding to P-selectin. These studies demonstrate that tyrosine sulfate on PSGL-1 functions in conjunction with sialylated and fucosylated glycans to mediate high affinity binding to P-selectin.

Abstract
The antigen binding fragment from an IgG2a kappa murine monoclonal antibody with specificity for alpha-(2-->8)-linked sialic acid polymers has been prepared and crystallized in the absence of hapten. Crystals were grown by vapor diffusion equilibrium with 16-18% polyethylene glycol 4000 solutions. The structure was solved by molecular replacement methods and refined to a conventional R factor of 0.164 for data to 2.8 A. The binding site is observed to display a shape and distribution of charges that is complementary to that of the predicted conformation of the oligosaccharide epitope. A thermodynamic description of ligand binding has been compiled for oligosaccharides ranging in length from 9 to 41 residues, and the data for the largest ligand has been used in a novel way to estimate the size of the antigen binding site. A model of antigen binding is presented that satisfies this thermodynamic data, as well as a previously reported requirement of conformational specificity of the oligosaccharide. X-ray crystallographic and thermodynamic evidence are consistent with a binding site that accommodates at least eight sialic acid residues.

Abstract
The selectins initiate many critical interactions among blood cells. The volume of information and diversity of opinions on the nature of the biologically relevant ligands for selectins is remarkable. This review analyzes the matter and suggests the hypothesis that at least some of the specificity may involve recognition of "clustered saccharide patches."

Abstract
Platelets are activated by substances from the subendothelial matrix in endothelial lesions or by factors in the plasma coagulation cascade. Conversely, activated platelets are potent activators of this cascade. Only activated platelets express the adhesion molecules Gp53, GMP140 and thrombospondin on the plasma membrane. The postmortem activation status of platelets, therefore, can be determined immunoelectron microscopically by immunogold labeling of antibodies against these glycoproteins. Our studies revealed that the vast majority of these antigens were located within the granules postmortem, hence the platelets had not been activated. Thrombin-induced activation of platelets in vitro was only possible in the early postmortem interval, as demonstrated by labeling of the adhesion molecules on the plasma membrane. Later, such activation was no longer possible even though thrombin-induced fibrin formation gave the appearance of "coagulated blood". In forensic medicine, these findings can possibly be applied to distinguish intravital clotting from the postmortem coagulation phenomena and intravital hematomas from postmortem hematomas.

The extracellular region of each selectin contains an amino-terminal C-type lectin domain, followed by an EGF-like domain and multiple short consensus repeat units (SCR). Previous studies have indirectly suggested a role for each of the extracellular domains of the selectins in cell adhesion. In this study, a panel of chimeric selectins created by exchange of domains between L- and P-selectin was used to directly examine the role of the extracellular domains in cell adhesion. Exchange of only the lectin domains between L- and P-selectin conferred the adhesive and ligand recognition functions of the lectin domain of the parent molecule. However, chimeric selectins which contained both the lectin domain of L-selectin and the EGF-like domain of P-selectin exhibited dual ligand-binding specificity. These chimeric proteins supported adhesion both to myeloid cells and to high endothelial venules (HEV) of lymph nodes and mesenteric venules in vivo. Exchange of the SCR domains had no detectable effect on receptor function or specificity. Thus, the EGF-like domain of P-selectin may play a direct role in ligand recognition and leukocyte adhesion mediated by P-selectin, with the lectin plus EGF-like domains collectively forming a functional ligand recognition unit.

Abstract
Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) are components of the blood which as such interact extensively with other blood cells, with endothelial cells or with plasma. Here, we consider the interaction between PMNL and platelets which is efficient during adhesion of platelets to PMNL and which can be studied in vitro using the rosette formation assay. The adhesion of activated platelets to PMNL seems to be mediated mainly by a protein of platelets (CD62) and its counterreceptor on PMNL, but also other platelet receptors are involved. Here we demonstrate the participation of the glycoprotein IIb-IIIa complex (CD41a) in the adhesion of activated platelets to PMNL due to the following findings: a) inhibition of adhesion by monoclonal antibodies raised against CD41a, b) inhibition of adhesion by peptides such as RGDS and echistatin, c) inhibition of adhesion by dissociation of CD41a with EGTA and d) inhibition of adhesion using platelets from a thrombasthenic patient which have almost no CD41a in the surface membrane but a normal expression of CD62 upon activation. The adhesion of activated platelets to PMNL via CD41a seems to be mediated by fibrinogen due to the following findings: a) addition of fibrinogen to ADP-stimulated and fixed platelets increases significantly the rosette formation and b) the incubation of unstimulated platelets with fibrinogen and an antibody raised against glycoprotein IIIa which stimulates fibrinogen binding to the platelet surface results in an enlarged rosette formation.

Abstract
Allergic inflammation is characterized by recruitment of specific leukocyte subpopulations from blood into tissue and requires a series of cell adhesion-molecule-mediated interactions between postcapillary vascular endothelium and the leukocyte cell surface. Three major groups are involved: selectins, integrins, and the immunoglobulin gene superfamily. P- and E-selectin mediate initial leukocyte adhesion, whereas beta 2-integrin/ICAM-1 and VLA-4/VCAM-1 pathways mediate leukocyte arrest and transendothelial migration. Because VLA-4 expression is restricted to eosinophils and lymphocytes, VCAM-1 has been implicated in selective eosinophil recruitment characterizing allergic inflammation. However, additional factors such as profile of cytokine release are likely to operate since tissue eosinophilia has been observed in the absence of VCAM-1 expression. Recent use of monoclonal antibodies against functional epitopes on various cell adhesion molecules in animal models of extrinsic allergic asthma offers new possibilities in management of allergic disease.

Abstract
Neutrophil adherence and/or aggregation has been implicated in ischemia reperfusion injuries. We examined the role of P-selectin in PMN-mediated injury after reperfusion of the rabbit ear. The ear was partially amputated, and then reattached leaving the central artery and vein intact. To induce ischemia the central artery was then occluded. Treatment was at reperfusion with either saline or one of two murine P-selectin mAbs, designated PB1.3 and PNB1.6 mAb PB1.3 cross-reacts with rabbit P-selectin and prevents histamine-induced leukocyte rolling, whereas PNB1.6 does not. Using a peroxidase-antiperoxidase system P-selectin was detected in the ischemic ear, but not in the nonischemic ear. Ear volume increased to 5.3 times baseline in the saline-treated animals (n = 8), 6.6 times baseline in the nonblocking mAb PNB1.6-treated animals (n = 2), and 3.7 times baseline in the blocking mAb PB1.3-treated animals (n = 8). Estimated tissue necrosis of the combined saline- and PNB1.6-treated animals was 46 vs. 2.7% for the mAb PB1.3-treated animals. We conclude that: (a) P-selectin is expressed in ischemia reperfusion; (b) P-selectin participates in PMN-endothelial cell interactions in ischemia reperfusion; and (c) inhibiting P-selectin adhesion significantly reduces reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Activated platelets and stimulated endothelial cells express P-selectin, an integral membrane protein receptor that binds monocytes and neutrophils. P-selectin mediates adhesion to glycoproteins with carbohydrate structures containing sialyl-Lewis X. Since many carcinoma cells also express these carbohydrate structures and are known to interact with platelets, we asked whether P-selectin may mediate this interaction. Both small cell lung cancer and neuroblastoma cell lines bound to activated platelets, and this interaction was blocked with inhibitory anti-P-selectin antibodies and by pretreatment of these cancer cells with neuraminidase or trypsin. Platelet binding to the small cell lung cancer cells was not inhibited with anti-GP IIb-IIIa antibody or Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser peptide. Pretreatment of the neuroblastoma cells with inhibitors of N-linked carbohydrate biosynthesis had little effect on binding to P-selectin, indicating that relevant carbohydrate ligand(s) may be O-linked. In addition, lipospheres containing P-selectin specifically bound to cryostat sections derived from a small cell lung tumor and two neuroblastoma tumors, but not to sections of normal lung. These observations demonstrate that P-selectin mediates binding of platelets to small cell lung cancer and to neuroblastoma and suggest a possible role for this lectin in metastasis.

Abstract
1. P-selectin (PADGEM, GMP140, or CD62) a member of lectin-like adhesive proteins is expressed on the surface of activated degranulated canine platelets and is the calcium-dependent receptor for leukocyte adhesion. 2. The electrophoretic mobility of P-selectin, by Western blot analysis and immunoprecipitation from radiolabeled membranes of canine and human platelets, was similar or identical and immunocytochemical studies localized P-selectin in internal vesicles similar to the alpha granule localization in human platelets. 3. Two antibodies to human P-selectin KC4.1 and AC1.2 crossreacted with canine platelets whose surface binding, in response to agonists thrombin, calcium ionophore (A23187), phorbol esters and ADP, was similar. 4. Anti-P-selectin antibodies in conjunction with crossreacting anti-GPIIb/IIIa antibodies (A2A9, 7E3, RUU-PL7F12) enables the analysis of activated platelets, platelet-derived microparticles and platelet-leukocyte interactions in canine models by flow cytometry.

Abstract
Rapid upregulation of the adhesion molecule GMP-140 (P-selectin) on endothelial cells is believed to play an important role in the initial binding of leukocytes to endothelium, a very early step in the inflammatory response. Activated platelets that are involved in the coagulation system and in inflammatory processes also express GMP-140 on their surfaces. The objectives of the present study were to develop a monoclonal antibody against this adhesion molecule in the dog and to use this antibody to study platelet-neutrophil interactions in whole blood and to characterize the in vivo localization of GMP-140 in canine tissues. Five Balb/c mice were immunized with thrombin-stimulated dog platelets, and clones were screened using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The clone MD3 (IgG1) showed preferential binding to activated as compared with resting platelets. Flow cytometric analysis using MD3 revealed that 27% of circulating neutrophils in unstimulated blood had platelets bound to their surfaces; stimulation with platelet activating factor increased this percentage to 85%. Immunoblot analysis of solubilized dog platelets resolved by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated that the antibody MD3 recognized an approximately 140-kd protein. Immunohistochemical study of normal dog tissues with MD3 revealed that the antigen was present in endothelial cells of arteries, capillaries, and veins, depending on the specific tissue examined. Blood vessels staining positively with MD3 were most abundant in the digestive system (liver, stomach, small and large intestines), moderate in the lungs, kidneys, spleen, lymph nodes, and endocrine glands, and minimal in the brain, myocardium, skeletal system, and skin. Based on its presence on stimulated but not resting platelets, its molecular weight, and its vascular distribution, the antigen recognized by MD3 appears to be the selectin GMP-140 of the dog. This study documents that the cellular and tissue distribution of GMP-140 in dogs is very similar to that in human beings.

Abstract
The selectins are a family of three calcium-dependent lectins that mediate adhesive interactions between leukocytes and the endothelium during normal and abnormal inflammatory episodes. Previous work has implicated the carbohydrate sialyl Lewis(x) (sLe(x); sialic acid alpha 2-3 galactose beta 1-4 [Fucose alpha 1-3] N-acetyl glucosamine) as a component of the ligand recognized by E- and P-selectin. In the case of P-selectin, other components of the cell surface, including 2'6-linked sialic acid and sulfatide (galactose-4-sulfate ceramide), have also been proposed for adhesion mediated by this selectin. We have recently defined a region of the E-selectin lectin domain that appears to be directly involved with carbohydrate recognition and cell adhesion (Erbe, D. V., B. A. Wolitzky, L. G. Presta, C. R. Norton, R. J. Ramos, D. K. Burns, R. M. Rumberger, B. N. N. Rao, C. Foxall, B. K. Brandley, and L. A. Lasky. 1992. J. Cell Biol. 119:215-227). Here we describe a similar analysis of the P-selectin lectin domain which demonstrates that a homologous region of this glycoprotein's lectin motif is involved with carbohydrate recognition and cell binding. In addition, we present evidence that is inconsistent with a biological role for either 2'6-linked sialic acid or sulfatide in P-selectin-mediated adhesion. These results suggest that a common region of the E- and P-selectin lectin domains appears to mediate carbohydrate recognition and cell adhesion.

Abstract
A series of synthetic oligosaccharides based on sialyl Lewis x (sLex; Neu5Ac alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-4[Fuc alpha 1-3]GlcNAc) and sialyl Lewis a (sLea; Neu5Ac alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-3[Fuc alpha 1-4]GlcNAc) was used to study the binding interactions of selectins. E-selectin-immunoglobulin fusion protein (E-selectin-Ig) bound to immobilized bovine serum albumin (BSA)-neoglycoproteins containing sLex or sLea in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner. Solution-phase sLex tetrasaccharide blocked this interaction by 50% at a concentration of 750 +/- 20 microM (IC50). sLea was more effective (IC50 = 220 +/- 20 microM), while nonsialylated, nonfucosylated derivatives showed little or no activity at concentrations up to 1 mM. Attachment of an 8-methoxycarbonyloctyl aglycone in a beta linkage to the anomeric carbon of the GlcNAc of sLex or sLea increased their blocking activity nearly twofold. Finally, replacement of the 2-N-acetyl substituent of the GlcNAc by an azido or amino group resulted in substantial increases in activity, with the most potent inhibitor being amino substituted sLea, which was 36-fold more active (IC50 = 21 +/- 3 microM) than the reducing tetrasaccharide sLex. In contrast to results obtained with E-selectin-Ig, P-selectin-Ig binding to immobilized BSA-sLea was blocked modestly by most oligosaccharides at 1 mM, with no substantial differences among them. IC50 values of soluble oligosaccharides determined in competitive binding studies accurately predicted blocking of leukocyte adhesion to recombinant E-selectin-Ig and to cytokine-activated endothelium.

Abstract
The carbohydrate antigen, CD15 (Le(X)), and its sialylated derivative have recently been shown to be involved in the binding of neutrophils to the endothelial lectins, E-selectin and P-selectin. Neutrophil NCA-160, a carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)-related glycoprotein, is the major carrier of CD15, which is also expressed on the common beta 2 chain of leucocyte integrins. Rabbit IgG antibodies directed against CEA, which cross-react with neutrophil NCAs, increase the adhesion of neutrophils to plastic. This effect is also observed with F(ab')2 and Fab antibody fragments and a monoclonal antibody (mAb) recognizing the same antigen. Anti-CD15 mAbs inhibit adhesion at higher concentrations, but augment adhesion at lower concentrations. Anti-CEA and anti-CD15 antibodies cause the homotypic adhesion of neutrophils demonstrable by light microscopy and flow cytometry. Anti-(integrin beta 2 chain) mAbs inhibit both adhesion to plastic and homotypic adhesion. These results suggest that binding of ligand to NCA-160 is able to trigger neutrophil adhesion events which have been shown to be integrin mediated. Anti-CD15 mAbs do not, however, induce a respiratory burst from neutrophils.

Abstract
Although a bewildering array of cell surface carbohydrate structures have been described, the physiological relevance of any of these complex molecules has often eluded biologists. A family of cell surface glycoproteins, the "selectins," has a characteristic ability to use some of these carbohydrate structures in adhesive mechanisms that help localize leukocytes to regions of inflammation. This article will review the biology of these carbohydrate-binding adhesive proteins and discuss the potential for developing anti-inflammatory antagonists that could inhibit binding events that are selectin-mediated.

Abstract
Previously we showed that pretreatment of LGL/NK or HUVE cells with Salmonella bacteria augments the adhesion of LGL/NK cells to endothelium. Here we analyse the roles of HUVEC adhesion molecules VCAM-1, ICAM-1 and E-selectin, and the counter-receptors VLA-4, LFA-1 and SLex in the increase of LGL/NK adhesion to HUVEC, stimulated with Salmonella Minnesota mR595 bacteria, LPS or TNF-alpha. On Salmonella-stimulated HUVEC, VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 were the major binding structures involved, and their effect was additive in monoclonal antibody inhibition experiments. We could demonstrate the induction of both structures on cultured HUVEC after 24 h of Salmonella stimulation in flow cytometric analysis. For Salmonella-stimulated LGL/NK, the principal binding structure was LFA-1. Stimulation of LGL/NK cells did not alter the expression of the adhesion structures (subunits CD11a/CD18, CD49d/CD29), as determined by flow cytometric analysis, and thus the increased adherence is presumably produced by an increased avidity of the receptors on LGL/NK cells. Pretreatment of endothelium or lymphocytes with various stimuli, including Salmonella bacteria or LPS, leads to an activation state which provides for characteristic anchorage sites for the increased migration of LGL/NK cells towards the site of inflammation.

Abstract
E-selectin elicits cell adhesion by binding to the cell surface carbohydrate, sialyl Lewis X (sLe(x)). We evaluated the effects of mutations in the E-selectin lectin domain on the binding of a panel of anti-E-selectin mAbs and on the recognition of immobilized sLe(x) glycolipid. Functional residues were then superimposed onto a three-dimensional model of the E-selectin lectin domain. This analysis demonstrated that the epitopes recognized by blocking mAbs map to a patch near the antiparallel beta sheet derived from the NH2 and COOH termini of the lectin domain and two adjacent loops. Mutations that affect sLe(x) binding map to this same region. These results thus define a small region of the E-selectin lectin domain that is critical for carbohydrate recognition.

Abstract
P-selectin (CD62, GMP-140, PADGEM), a Ca(2+)-dependent lectin on activated platelets and endothelium, functions as a receptor for myeloid cells by interacting with sialylated, fucosylated lactosaminoglycans. P-selectin binds to a limited number of protease-sensitive sites on myeloid cells, but the protein(s) that carry the glycans recognized by P-selectin are unknown. Blotting of neutrophil or HL-60 cell membrane extracts with [125I]P-selectin and affinity chromatography of [3H]glucosamine-labeled HL-60 cell extracts were used to identify P-selectin ligands. A major ligand was identified with an approximately 250,000 M(r) under nonreducing conditions and approximately 120,000 under reducing conditions. Binding of P-selectin to the ligand was Ca2+ dependent and was blocked by mAbs to P-selectin. Brief sialidase digestion of the ligand increased its apparent molecular weight; however, prolonged digestion abolished binding of P-selectin. Peptide:N-glycosidase F treatment reduced the apparent molecular weight of the ligand by approximately 3,000 but did not affect P-selectin binding. Western blot and immunodepletion experiments indicated that the ligand was not lamp-1, lamp-2, or L-selectin, which carry sialyl Le(x), nor was it leukosialin, a heavily sialylated glycoprotein of similar molecular weight. The preferential interaction of the ligand with P-selectin suggests that it may play a role in adhesion of myeloid cells to activated platelets and endothelial cells.

Abstract
The adhesive interaction between circulating lymphocytes and the high endothelial venules (HEV) of lymph nodes (LN) is mediated by lymphocyte L-selectin, a member of the selectin family of cell adhesion proteins. Previous work has identified a sulfated 50 kd glycoprotein (Sgp50) as an HEV ligand for L-selectin. We now report the purification of this glycoprotein and the utilization of the derived N-terminal amino acid sequence to clone a cDNA. The predicted sequence reveals a novel, mucin-like molecule containing two serine/threonine-rich domains. The mRNA encoding this glycoprotein is preferentially expressed in LN. Antibodies against predicted peptides immunoprecipitate Sgp50 and stain the apical surface of LN HEV. These results thus define a tissue-specific mucin-like endothelial glycoprotein that appears to function as a scaffold that presents carbohydrates to the L-selectin lectin domain.

Abstract
The selectins are the most recently identified family of cell adhesion molecules. The three known members of this family (L-, E- and P-selectin) mediate the binding of leukocytes to endothelial cells and are involved in the homing of lymphocytes to lymph nodes, as well as the extravasation of neutrophilic granulocytes into inflamed tissues. The lectin character of these cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) makes the selectin protein family unique among all known CAM families. The review will summarize present knowledge about the structural organization, the ligands identified (carbohydrates and glycoproteins) and the different regulation mechanisms of the cell surface activity of the three selectins.

Abstract
The glycoproteins granule membrane protein 140 (GMP140), endothelial-leukocyte adhesion molecule 1 (ELAM-1), and Leu-8 are members of a family of glycoprotein receptors (selectins or LEC-CAMs) that play an important role in adhesive interactions between circulating leukocytes and vascular endothelium. Recently it has been reported that ELAM-1 is able to mediate the binding of the colon carcinoma cell line HT-29 to cytokine-activated vascular endothelium, suggesting that tumor cell adhesion to vascular endothelium, a prerequisite for tumor extravasation and metastasis, is in part the result of adhesive interactions between blood-borne tumor cells and cell surface proteins expressed by vascular endothelium. Here, using an approach in which soluble immunoglobulin chimeras of the GMP140 and ELAM-1 receptors were prepared and used to carry out immunohistological studies, we establish that GMP140 binds to tumor cells in a variety of human carcinoma tissue sections (colon, lung, and breast), whereas ELAM-1 binds exclusively to tumor cells in colon carcinoma tissue sections. In addition, GMP140 was found to bind to the cell surface of a number of cell lines derived from various carcinomas but not from melanomas, whereas ELAM-1 bound only colon carcinoma cell lines. We further investigated the nature of the ligands of GMP140 and ELAM-1 on the surface of the carcinoma cells and found that the GMP140 ligand on the surface of tumor cells appears to be distinct from that expressed on the myeloid cell line HL-60. Neuraminidase treatment of a breast carcinoma cell line does not affect, or in some instances increases, GMP140 binding, whereas it completely abolishes GMP140 binding to HL-60 cells. On the other hand, the ligand of ELAM-1 on both the colon carcinoma and HL-60 cells is neuraminidase sensitive in accord with its identification as sialyl-CD15. Parallel results were obtained with neuraminidase-treated frozen carcinoma tissue sections. The present findings form the basis for investigating the role of GMP140 in tumor invasiveness and metastasis.

Abstract
Several recently discovered mammalian cell adhesion proteins recognize and bind to sialic acid-containing ligands. Reports concerning the molecular specificities of these interactions have been intriguing but somewhat confusing, partly because of pitfalls in methodology or interpretation. Nevertheless, these protein-carbohydrate recognition phenomena are important in the normal biology of blood cells and in the pathophysiology of many diseases.

Abstract
Exciting new findings link characteristic properties of the inflammatory process previously not linked functionally. For example, it is now clear that oxygen radicals and leukocyte adhesion are intimately related in a carefully transduced and orchestrated series of events that culminates in release of granule contents, but not before the leukocyte has safely transversed the vessel wall. In addition to defining separate heterocellular contacts and homocellular aggregation we must now consider equilibrium events that allow associations among cell-cell partnerships involving different cell types.

Abstract
Expression of the beta-galactoside alpha 2,6-sialyltransferase (alpha 2,6-ST) was shown to regulate the generation of multiple cell-surface differentiation antigens (Ags) that may be necessary for lymphocyte function. A new mAb was produced, termed HB-6, that was shown to identify a novel neuraminidase-sensitive cell-surface Ag expressed by subpopulations of human lymphocytes and erythrocytes. In attempting to isolate a cDNA encoding the HB-6 antigen by expression cloning, a cDNA encoding the alpha 2,6-ST (EC 2.4.99.1) was obtained. Since expression of the alpha 2,6-ST protein was shown to be limited to the Golgi apparatus, the cell-surface HB-6 Ag was demonstrated to be the product of alpha 2,6-ST activity. Interestingly, alpha 2,6-ST expression also generated two other neuraminidase-sensitive lymphocyte cell-surface differentiation Ags, CDw75, and CD76. The HB-6, CDw75, and CD76 mAb identified distinct Ags that were differentially expressed by different B cell lines and exhibited different patterns of expression in tissue sections. These results indicate that alpha 2,6-ST expression is a critical regulatory step in the formation of the Ags that are recognized by these mAb, and that an alpha 2,6-linked sialic acid residue is an essential component of each Ag. Thus, expression of a single ST can result in the generation of multiple distinct antigenic determinants on the cell surface which can be distinguished by mAb and may have regulatory roles in lymphocyte function.

Abstract
A variety of adhesive interactions must take place between the tumor cell and the host vasculature in order to potentiate both tumor expansion and metastatic tumor spread. The study of tumor cell and blood vessel adhesive interactions becomes essential for our understanding of the malignant process, especially with regard to organ-specific tumor metastasis. In this article we will review recent progress made in our understanding of the nature of (i) receptor mediated adhesion of endothelial cells to extracellular matrix components and (ii) adhesion of tumor cells to endothelial adhesion molecules and to components of the subendothelial basement membrane.

Abstract
CD62, also called PADGEM protein, GMP-140, or P-selectin, is a granule membrane protein of endothelial cells and platelets that is mobilized to the plasma membrane following exposure to mediators such as thrombin, histamine, complement components, or peroxides. Data presented to date suggest that one ligand of CD62 includes CD15 (Lewis x determinant) and sialic acid. We show here that sulfatides, heterogeneous 3-sulfated galactosyl ceramides, are an apparently unrelated ligand of CD62. Sulfatides are expressed on the plasma membrane of, and are excreted by, granulocytes, and constitute the principal ligand for CD62 on the plasma membrane of some tumor cells. CD62 binds to sulfatides adsorbed to plastic as avidly as it binds to myeloid or tumor cells. We find that granulocytes excrete sulfatides at a rate predicted to allow them to be rapidly released from CD62 once they have exited the bloodstream.
