Abstract
Human natural killer (NK) cells display a wide array of surface and intracellular markers that indicate various states of differentiation and/or levels of effector function. These NK cell subsets exist simultaneously in peripheral blood and may vary among individuals. We examined variety among selected NK cell receptors expressed by NK cells from normal donors, as well as the distribution of select NK cell subsets and NK cell receptor expression over time in several individual donors. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were evaluated using flow cytometry via fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies against a number of NK cell receptors. Results were analyzed for both mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) and the percent positive cells for each receptor. CD56(bright) and CD56(dim) NK cell subsets were also considered separately, as was variation in receptor expression in NK cell subsets over time in selected individuals. Through this effort, we provide ranges of NK cell surface receptor expression for a local adult population as well as provide insight into intra-individual variation.

Abstract
Neutrophils acquire phagocytic activity as they differentiate. Recently, plasma membrane lipid rafts have been shown to play important roles in the process of phagocytosis in neutrophils. To characterize the proteins involved in phagocytosis and to elucidate the process by which they acquire phagocytic activity, we investigated by nano-LC-MS/MS analysis the changes in protein composition of plasma membrane lipid rafts during DMSO-induced differentiation of the human leukemia cell line HL-60 cells into neutrophilic lineage. Based on the spectrum counts of 147 proteins identified, 25 proteins were upregulated and 49 were downregulated by DMSO treatment. CD11b/CD18 subunits of beta2-integrin Mac-1, CD35, and GPI-80, which are known to be upregulated during differentiation, were dominantly detected in the lipid rafts of DMSO-treated cells. Many known membrane proteins, G proteins, and cytoskeletal proteins were also detected and they showed characteristic distributions. Absolute quantification of nine proteins in the lipid rafts using internal standard peptides labeled with stable isotopes showed that the amount of protein almost corresponded to the results obtained by spectrum count. Identified proteins, expression of which was altered by DMSO treatment, are expected to be candidate proteins involved in differentiation and functions of neutrophils.

Abstract
Leukocyte motility is known to be dependent on both β2-integrins and matrix metalloproteinases MMP-2/-9 or gelatinases, which mediate leukocyte adhesion and the proteolysis needed for invasion, respectively. Gelatinases not only play an important role in cell migration, tissue remodeling, and angiogenesis during development, but are also involved in the progression and invasiveness of many cancers, including leukemias. The concept that MMPs associate with integrins, as well as their importance in some physiologic and pathologic conditions, has been advanced previously but has not been examined on leukocytes. This review will examine mainly the function of the MMP-integrin complexes in normal leukocyte migration and the effect of integrin and broad-spectrum MMP inhibitors in tumor progression.

Abstract
Genotoxic stresses induce cellular responses that can be observed at the level of gene expression. We have studied changes in gene expression following BPDE exposure in HeLa cells by using a cDNA expression array of 597 human genes. After a 53-hr exposure to 0.4 microM BPDE, nine genes were upregulated. The protein products of these genes are: fos-related antigen 2, apoptotic cysteine protease MCH4, DB1 (zinc finger protein 91), transcription factor ETR103, integrin alpha, interleukin-4, interleukin-6, 23-kDa highly basic protein, and ribosomal protein S9. We observed the downregulation of gene expression of three genes: heat-shock protein 27, DNA-binding protein TAX, and NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase B18 subunit. These results suggest unknown functions or regulatory circuits for several of the responsive genes and demonstrate the complexity of cellular responses to genotoxic insults.

Abstract
Granulocytes are recognized by the presence of granules, including primary (azurophilic) and secondary types. Each granule type contains distinct and characteristic families of enzymes. We have screened a murine bone marrow cDNA library to obtain a series of sequences corresponding to mRNAs which are both myeloid-specific and appear to be expressed only in immature bone marrow cells. A 1,160 bp sequence (B9) has been isolated, which shows restricted expression in murine bone marrow, with the highest levels in cultures enriched for promyelocytes. Translation yields a single open reading frame of 167 amino acids and a calculated MW of 19.33 kd. A single potential N-glycosylation site is present. Evaluation of the amino terminal sequence shows 2 polar amino acids flanking a hydrophobic region, suggesting a signal sequence and the possibility of post-translational modification. An extensive search of the protein data base reveals 30% identity over 90 amino acids with porcine cathelin, a cystatin-like cysteine proteinase inhibitor. This sequence identity includes conservation of the 4 cysteine residues noted in all members of the cystatin superfamily. In an attempt to further characterize this novel sequence, a polyclonal antiserum was prepared by immunization with a 20 amino acid synthetic peptide corresponding to a unique portion of the carboxy terminus. Immunoelectron microscopy localized B9 to neutrophilic granules. We have identified a novel myeloid-specific granule protein related to porcine cathelin, but showing important structural differences. This may represent the first isolated member of a new cystatin family. More importantly, the small size of the B9 gene and its tight pattern of early expression make B9 an excellent reporter molecule for the study of new factors important in myeloid differentiation.

Abstract
Expression of the alpha 7 integrin gene (ITGA7) is developmentally regulated during the formation of skeletal muscle. Increased levels of expression and production of isoforms containing different cytoplasmic and extracellular domains accompany myogenesis. To determine whether a single or multiple alpha 7 genes underlie the structural diversity in this alpha chain that accompanies development, we have examined the rat and human genomes by Southern blotting and in situ hybridization. Our results demonstrate that there is only one alpha 7 gene in both the rat and the human genomes. In the human, ITGA7 is present on chromosome 12q13. Phylogenetic analysis of the integrin alpha chain sequences suggests that the early integrin genes evolved in two pathways to form the I-integrins and the non-I-integrins. The I-integrin alpha chains contain an additional sequence of approximately 180 amino acids and arose as a result of an early insertion into the non-I-gene. The I-chain subfamily further evolved by duplications within the same chromosome. The non-I-integrin alpha chain genes are localized in clusters on chromosomes 2, 12, and 17, and this closely coincides with the localization of the human homeobox gene clusters. Non-I-integrin alpha chain genes appear to have evolved in parallel and in proximity to the Hox clusters. Thus, the Hox genes that underlie the design of body structure and the Integrin genes that underlie informed cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions appear to have evolved in parallel and coordinate fashions.

Abstract
To define the minimal promoter responsible for expression of CD18 in myeloid and lymphoid cells, we generated 5' and 3' deletion constructs of a segment extending 785 bp upstream and 19 bp downstream of a major transcription start site and determined their effects on driving expression of the luciferase reporter gene in transfected hematopoietic cell lines. A region extending from nucleotides (nt) -302 to +19 was sufficient for cell-restricted and phorbol ester-inducible expression. DNase I footprinting of this region revealed two adjacent protected segments extending from nt -81 to -68 (box A) and -55 to -41 (box B). When a construct of 47 nt in length containing box A and box B and lacking other 3' or 5' elements was cloned into a promoterless vector, it conferred tissue-specific and phorbol ester-inducible expression. Gel retardation revealed that the protein components of two major protein-DNA complexes that form on both box A and box B and are required for transcriptional activation are members of the Ets oncoprotein family; one is related to the GA-binding protein (GABP), and the other is related to PU.1/Spi-1. The minimal CD18 promoter, lacking TATA, CAAT, and initiator elements and consisting primarily of Ets repeats, may exemplify an emerging class of promoters with which the concerted binding of Ets factors is necessary and sufficient to mediate transcriptional activation through direct recruitment of the basal transcription machinery.

Abstract
The study of the intrinsic regulation of complement has uncovered a broad array of proteins with differing specificities and physicochemical properties. This will allow application of these proteins, native or modified, to the problem of controlling inflammation. The availability of sCR1, as the first such agent, has permitted further definition of those adverse clinical situations which are complement-dependent. The use of sCR1 as a drug might be anticipated in situations of thermal injury, ARDS, septic shock, and ischemia/reperfusion injury, such as myocardial infarction after thrombolytic therapy. sCR1 may also serve as the tool with which to unravel and possibly treat xenograft rejection. It can be anticipated that other such specific inhibitors will become available.

Abstract
The integrin family of adhesion receptors consists of several heterodimeric glycoproteins, each composed of one alpha and one beta subunit. A novel integrin alpha subunit partial cDNA isolated from TGF-beta stimulated guinea pig airway epithelial cells has previously been reported (Erle, D.J., D. Sheppard, J. Bruess, C. Rüegg, and R. Pytela. 1991. Am. J. Respir. Cell Mol. Biol. 5:170-177). We have now determined cDNA and amino acid sequence for the human homolog of this subunit, named alpha 9, from a human lung cDNA library, a human small intestine cDNA library, and cDNA from the cell lines U937, HL-60 and Tera-2. This sequence is predicted to encode a 1006-amino acid mature protein that shares 39% identity with the previously identified integrin subunit alpha 4. By Northern blot analysis, alpha 9 mRNA was detected in the human carcinoma cell lines Tera-2 and Caco-2. Anti-peptide antibodies against the predicted COOH-terminal sequence of alpha 9 immunoprecipitated a heterodimer (140 kD/115 kD nonreduced; 150 kD/130 kD reduced) from Tera-2 lysates. Immunodepletion of beta 1-containing integrins with Tera-2 lysates removed alpha 9 immunoreactivity, suggesting that beta 1 is the principal beta subunit partner for alpha 9 in these cells. alpha 9 was detected by immunohistochemistry in airway epithelium, in the basal layer of squamous epithelium, and in smooth muscle, skeletal muscle, and hepatocytes.

Abstract
The CD14+/CD16+ cells account for about 10% of all blood monocytes. They are characterized by a low level expression of the CD14 molecule and a high level expression of the CD16 (Fc gamma R III) molecule. Polymerase chain reaction analysis of mRNA prevalence in CD14+/CD16+ cells (compared to the regular CD14++ blood monocytes) demonstrates low levels of CD14 transcripts and high levels of CD16 transcripts, suggestive of a transcriptional control for both of these proteins. Analysis of additional cell surface molecules in three-color immunofluorescence reveals that CD14+/CD16+ cells express the Fc gamma R II in all, and Fc gamma R I and ICAM-1 in some donors. Furthermore, class II antigens are expressed at fourfold higher levels, while both, CD11b and CD33 cell surface proteins, are decreased by a factor of two. Transcript levels were reduced in CD14+/CD16+ cells for all three cell surface molecules. Since these phenotypic markers of the CD14+/CD16+ blood monocytes are reminiscent of tissue macrophages, we performed a comparative analysis with alveolar macrophages (AM). These cells are similar to the CD14+/CD16+ monocytes in that they show low levels of CD14 and strong expression of CD16. Furthermore, similar to the CD14+/CD16+ cells, the AM also exhibit higher levels of class II and lower levels of CD11b and CD33 when compared to the regular CD14++ blood monocytes. In vitro induction of maturation of blood monocytes by 5 day culture of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in 10% human serum will result in decreased CD14 and increased CD16 cell surface expression on the monocyte derived macrophages. At the same time, these cells acquire increased levels of class II and decreased levels of CD11b and CD33. Taken together, these data show that CD14+/CD16+ monocytes, while still in circulation, have acquired features in common with mature tissue macrophages.

Abstract
Human platelet glycoproteins IIb (GPIIb) and IIIa (GPIIIa) form the subunits of the Ca(2+)-dependent heterodimer GPIIb/IIIa, which belongs to the integrin family of phylogenetically related receptors mediating a wide variety of cell-cell and cell-substratum interactions. GPIIb/IIIa plays a central role in haemostasis as a receptor for fibrinogen and other adhesive proteins at the surface of activated platelets. The covalent structure of the subunits is largely known; however, the tertiary and quaternary structures of the heterodimer remain to be determined. To this end, our approach consisted of limited proteolysis of the isolated heterodimer with proteinases of different specificities, followed by protein-chemical and immunochemical analyses of the peptide fragments within each isolated proteolytic product. From the information obtained, we have drawn a rudimentary map which outlines the demarcation of compact domains and the subunit peptide stretches carrying the sequences putatively involved in intrachain, intrasubunit and intersubunit non-covalent connectivity in the heterodimer. Three compact domains have been well defined: one in the heavy (H) chain of GPIIb [GPIIbH-(600-700)], and two in GPIIIa, the N-terminal [GPIIIa-(1-52)] and the core [GPIIIa-(423-622)] domains. Between the latter two domains there is a proteolysis-susceptible region, which is partly involved in ligand binding [GPIIIa-(100-220)] and partly implicated as being in teh subunit interface of the heterodimer. Contrary to GPIIIa, GPIIbH is highly susceptible to proteolysis all along its sequence. Equally susceptible are the extracellular end of the transmembrane segment of both GPIIIa and the light (L) chain of GPIIb (GPIIbL), and the N-terminal end of GPIIbL. Three sequence stretches along the C-terminal half of GPIIbH, one sequence stretch in GPIIbL and three sequence stretches within the GPIIIa-(217-421) region were putatively involved in the subunit interface of the heterodimer. Most likely, the N-terminal end of GPIIbL is folded over the N- and C-terminal regions of GPIIbH, and the N-terminal end of GPIIbH is folded against the GPIIbH-(600-700) domain. This map of GPIIb/IIIa does not fit the current accommodation of the amino acid sequence of GPIIb and GPIIIa in the head/two-tails image of the heterodimer obtained by metal-rotary-shadowing electron microscopy.

Abstract
Three spatially distant surface loops were found to mediate the interaction of the coagulation protein factor X with the leukocyte integrin Mac-1. This interacting region, which by computational modeling defines a three-dimensional macromotif in the catalytic domain, was also recognized by glycoprotein C (gC), a factor X receptor expressed on herpes simplex virus (HSV)-infected endothelial cells. Peptidyl mimicry of each loop inhibited factor X binding to Mac-1 and gC, blocked monocyte generation of thrombin, and prevented monocyte adhesion to HSV-infected endothelium. These data link the ligand recognition of Mac-1 to established mechanisms of receptor-mediated vascular injury.

Abstract
Understanding the molecular basis of a rare inherited disease, Leu-CAM deficiency in humans, has underscored the importance of the cellular component of inflammation and unravelled the complex series of homotypic and heterotypic cell interactions necessary for mobilization of leukocytes to infected sites. Furthermore, this disease has shown that several apparently distinct cellular inflammatory responses (e.g. aggregation, adhesion to endothelium, directed migration and phagocytosis) are mechanistically related and mediated by a set of molecules which belong to a larger group of adhesion molecules (Integrins) mediating similar phenomena critical for immune surveillance, lymphocyte homing, morphogenesis and thrombogenesis. This disease also showed the relative biologic importance of CD11/CD18 in leukocytes. CD11/CD18 are more critical for the functions of phagocytic cells as compared to lymphocytes although similar inhibitory effects of anti-CD11/CD18 mAbs can be demonstrated in vitro. Expression and function of CD11/CD18 is regulated at several levels which include formation of stable heterodimers, qualitative changes in the receptor and quantitative changes in the levels of expression of the receptors and their ligands. We have identified inherited single amino acid substitutions on CD18 which impair heterodimer formation and cell surface expression, thus accounting for the pathogenesis of Leu-CAM deficiency. We also found a stimulus-induced phosphorylation of CD18, which is transient in nature when elicited through other surface receptors. This may be important in regulation of CD11/CD18 receptor avidity, recycling, endocytosis and cross-talk with other receptors. Finally, realization of the profound impairment in the acute cellular inflammatory response present in Leu-CAM deficiency has permitted novel ways of controlling the inflammatory response in several situations were inflammation serves an injurious rather than a beneficial role to the host.

Adherence of circulating neutrophils to the microvascular endothelium is the initial step in diapedesis, the process by which leukocytes migrate through blood vessels to accumulate at sites of cutaneous disease or injury. The mechanisms underlying neutrophil-endothelial cell interactions are currently under intense investigation. It has now been clearly shown that human neutrophil adherence in vitro to cultured human endothelial cell monolayers can be enhanced by a variety of mediators of inflammation, that both the neutrophil and the endothelial cell may actively contribute to the adhesive interaction depending on the stimuli involved, and that the Mac-1, LFA-1, p150,95 glycoprotein family (CD11/CD18) plays a critical role. Chemotactic peptides (FMLP, C5a) and lipid mediators (LTB4, PAF) act primarily on the neutrophil to enhance its adherence to endothelium. The effect occurs quickly (maximal response within 2 min), can be rapidly modulated, and is dependent on the expression of CD11/CD18 on the neutrophil surface. In contrast, the cytokines, interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF), as well as bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), induce cultured human endothelial cells to increase their adhesivity for human neutrophils by a process that is time-dependent, requiring 4 to 6 h for maximal response, and involves de novo RNA and protein synthesis. Two adhesion molecules are induced on the surface of endothelium in response to cytokine activation: endothelial-leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 (ELAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). ICAM-1 is a ligand for LFA-1 (CD11a/CD18). Thus, CD11/CD18 plays a central role in neutrophil adherence to endothelium stimulated by chemotactic factors or cytokines. However, much still remains to be explored to further understanding of the fascinating but complex interaction of circulating neutrophils and the microvascular endothelium during acute inflammatory reactions in the skin.

Abstract
The receptor on human neutrophils (polymorphonuclear leukocytes) that mediates cellular adherence consists of two noncovalently associated subunits, designated alpha M (Mac-1 alpha, Mol alpha, or CD11b; Mr, 170,000) and beta (Mac-1 beta, Mol beta, or CD18; Mr, 100,000). We isolated a cDNA clone for the human neutrophil alpha M subunit by screening a lambda gt 11 cDNA library made from chronic myelogenous leukemia neutrophils by using an affinity-purified rabbit polyclonal antibody directed against the alpha M subunit. We used this cDNA clone to obtain additional clones from cDNA libraries made from differentiated HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells. Together these cDNAs constitute the complete 1137-amino acid sequence for the mature human alpha M subunit protein. The deduced amino acid sequence indicates the presence of an extensive extracellular domain with three putative metal-binding regions, (i) an amino acid region that is homologous to the A domain of von Willebrand factor, (ii) a 26-amino acid hydrophobic sequence that is a potential transmembrane domain, and (iii) a 19-amino acid cytoplasmic region. The amino acid sequence for the human neutrophil alpha M subunit contains regions that are closely related to amino acid sequences of adhesion receptors belonging to the integrin family.

Abstract
Adhesion of human monocytes and granulocytes to vascular endothelium plays an important role in migration of these cells to inflammatory sites in tissues. A family of three human leukocyte heterodimeric surface molecules named Mo1, LFA-1, and p150,95 (LeuM5) has been shown to mediate leukocyte adhesion to confluent monolayers of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVE). The relative contribution of each of the three molecules in leukocyte endothelial adhesion was studied using a variety of stimuli. Purified human granulocytes and monocytes were radiolabelled and incubated with HUVE for 45 minutes in a 37 degrees C humidified 5% CO2 incubator in the presence or absence of subunit-specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). Adhesion was assessed by quantitation of endothelial cell-associated radioactivity and confirmed by microscopic evaluation. MAbs directed against the alpha subunit of LFA-1 as well as to the beta subunit common to all three antigens significantly inhibited unstimulated monocyte adhesion to HUVE. Small but significant inhibiton was also observed using MAbs directed against Mo1a and p150. Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-induced grranulocyte adhesion to HUVE was significantly inhibited by anti-Mo1a and anti-beta, but not by anti-LFA-1a or anti-p150. When HUVE were prestimulated by recombinant IL-1, a different pattern of antigen utilization by granulocytes was observed. MAbs directed against each of the three alpha subunits as well as the common beta subunit all inhibited granulocyte adhesion to HUVE. Furthermore the effect of the three anti-alpha subunit MAbs on granulocyte-HUVE adhesion was additive. These studies show that relative contribution of Mo1, LFA-1, and p150,95 to leukocyte endothelial adhesion varies depending on the cell type and the stimulus used. These studies also reveal a novel role for p150,95 in promoting monocyte and granulocyte adhesion to HUVE.

Abstract
Mo1 (complement receptor type 3, CR3; CD11b/CD18) is an adhesion-promoting human leukocyte surface membrane heterodimer (alpha subunit 155 kD [CD11b] noncovalently linked to a beta subunit of 95 kD [CD18]). The complete amino acid sequence deduced from cDNA of the human alpha subunit is reported. The protein consists of 1,136 amino acids with a long amino-terminal extracytoplasmic domain, a 26-amino acid hydrophobic transmembrane segment, and a 19-carboxyl-terminal cytoplasmic domain. The extracytoplasmic region has three putative Ca2+-binding domains with good homology and one with weak homology to the "lock washer" Ca2+-binding consensus sequence. These metal-binding domains explain the divalent cation-dependent functions mediated by Mo1. The alpha subunit is highly homologous to the alpha subunit of leukocyte p150,95 and to a lesser extent, to the alpha subunit of other "integrin" receptors such as fibronectin, vitronectin, and platelet IIb/IIIa receptors in humans and position-specific antigen-2 (PS2) in Drosophila. Mo1 alpha, like p150, contains a unique 187-amino acid stretch NH2-terminal to the metal-binding domains. This region could be involved in some of the specific functions mediated by these leukocyte glycoproteins.
