BST2, a Novel Inhibitory Receptor, Is Involved in NK Cell Cytotoxicity through Its Cytoplasmic Tail Domain. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231911395. [PMID: 36232695 PMCID: PMC9570199 DOI: 10.3390/ijms231911395] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2022] [Revised: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 09/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Bone Marrow Stromal Cell Antigen 2 (BST2) is a type II transmembrane protein expressed on various cell types that tethers the release of viruses. Natural killer (NK) cells express low levels of BST2 under normal conditions but exhibit increased expression of BST2 upon activation. In this study, we show for the first time that murine BST2 can control the cytotoxicity of NK cells. The cytoplasmic tail of murine BST2 contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM). The absence of BST2 on NK cells can enhance their cytotoxicity against tumor cells compared to wild type NK cells. NK cells isolated from NZW mice, which express ITIM-deficient BST2, also showed higher cytotoxicity than wild type NK cells. In addition, we found that galectin-8 and galectin-9 were ligands of BST2, since blocking galectin-8 or -9 with monoclonal antibodies enhanced the cytotoxicity of NK cells. These results suggested that BST2 might be a novel NK cell inhibitory receptor as it was involved in regulating NK cell cytotoxicity through its interaction with galectins.

Suppression of macrophage-mediated xenogeneic rejection by the ectopic expression of human CD177. Transpl Immunol 2022; 74:101663. [PMID: 35835297 DOI: 10.1016/j.trim.2022.101663] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2022] [Revised: 07/01/2022] [Accepted: 07/03/2022] [Indexed: 10/17/2022]
Abstract
Cellular xenogeneic rejection by the innate immune system is a major immunological obstruction that needs to be overcome for the successful clinical use of xenografts. Our focus has been on macrophage-mediated xenogeneic rejection, since suppressing macrophage function has considerable potential for practical applications in the area of xenotransplantation. We report herein on an investigation of the suppressive effect of human CD177 (hCD177) against macrophage-mediated xenogeneic rejection. Wild type swine aortic endothelial cell (SEC) and an SEC transfectant with hCD177 (SEC/hCD177) were co-cultured with macrophages, and the degree of cytotoxicity was evaluated by WST-8 assays, and phagocytosis was examined using Calcein-AM labeling methods. The expression of anti/pro-inflammatory cytokines was evaluated by RT-qPCR and the phosphorylation of SHP-1 on macrophages in co-culture was evaluated by Western blotting. The result of cytotoxicity assays indicated that hCD177 suppressed M1 macrophage-mediated xenogeneic rejection (vs. SEC, p < 0.0001). Similarly, the result of phagocytosis assays indicated that hCD177 suppressed it (vs. SEC, p < 0.05). In addition, hCD177 significantly suppressed the expression of IL-1β, a pro-inflammatory cytokine, in M1 macrophages (vs. SEC, p < 0.01). Luciferase assays using THP1-Lucia NF-kB also showed a significant difference in NF-kB activation (vs. SEC, p < 0.001). In addition, hCD177 was found to induce the phosphorylation of SHP-1 in M1 macrophages (vs. SEC, p < 0.05). These findings indicate that hCD177 suppresses M1 macrophage-mediated xenogeneic rejection, at least in part via in the phosphorylation of SHP-1.

Abstract
Xenotransplantation is very attractive strategy for addressing the shortage of donors. While hyper acute rejection (HAR) caused by natural antibodies and complement has been well defined, this is not the case for innate cellular xenogeneic rejection. An increasing body of evidence suggests that innate cellular immune responses contribute to xenogeneic rejection. Various molecular incompatibilities between receptors and their ligands across different species typically have an impact on graft outcome. NK cells are activated by direct interaction as well as by antigen dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) mechanisms. Macrophages are activated through various mechanisms in xenogeneic conditions. Macrophages recognize CD47 as a "marker of self" through binding to SIRPα. A number of studies have shown that incompatibility of porcine CD47 against human SIRPα contributes to the rejection of xenogeneic target cells by macrophages. Neutrophils are an early responder cell that infiltrates xenogeneic grafts. It has also been reported that neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) activate macrophages as damage-associated pattern molecules (DAMPs). In this review, we summarize recent insights into innate cellular xenogeneic rejection.

The Regulation of Neutrophil Extracellular Trap-induced Tissue Damage by Human CD177. Transplant Direct 2021; 7:e734.

Abstract
Background Neutrophil-induced tissue damage contributes to the rejection in xenotransplantation. Therefore, suppressing neutrophil function could be effective in suppressing xenogeneic rejection. In a previous study, we demonstrated that the ectopic expression of human cluster of differentiation 31 (CD31) on porcine endothelial cells (PEC) significantly suppressed neutrophil-mediated cytotoxicity through the homophilic binding of CD31. Cluster of differentiation 177 (CD177) was recently reported to be a high-affinity heterophilic binding partner for CD31 on endothelial cells. Thus, we hypothesized that human CD177 on PEC might induce a stronger suppression in neutrophil-mediated cytotoxicity compared with CD31. In this study, the inhibitory function of human CD177 on PEC in neutrophil-mediated cytotoxicity was investigated. Methods PEC were transfected with a cloning plasmid containing cDNA inserts that encoded for hCD177 and hCD31 genes. Neutrophil-induced cytotoxicity was evaluated by flow cytometry after coculturing with PEC or PEC/CD177 in the presence of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. To elucidate the mechanisms responsible for hCD177-induced suppression, the phosphorylation of src homology region 2 domain containing phosphatase 1 was measured by immunoblot analysis. Results Human CD177 on PEC induced a significant reduction in neutrophil-induced cytotoxicity. In addition, CD177 on PEC induced a significant increase in the phosphorylation of src homology region 2 domain-containing phosphatase 1 in neutrophils and suppressed NETosis. Conclusions These findings suggest that human CD177 suppresses neutrophil-mediated cytotoxicity through the inhibition of NETosis.

Abstract
Platelets are small enucleated cell fragments specialized in the control of hemostasis, but also playing a role in angiogenesis, inflammation and immunity. This plasticity demands a broad range of physiological processes. Platelet functions are mediated through a variety of receptors, the concerted action of which must be tightly regulated, in order to allow specific and timely responses to different stimuli. Protein phosphorylation is one of the main key regulatory mechanisms by which extracellular signals are conveyed. Despite the importance of platelets in health and disease, the molecular pathways underlying the activation of these cells are still under investigation. Here, we review current literature on signaling platelet biology and in particular emphasize the newly emerging role of phosphatases in these processes.

Abstract
Purpose In 2007 the two senior authors wrote a review on the structure and function of the endothelial glycocalyx layer (Weinbaum in Annu Rev Biomed Eng 9:121–167, 2007). Since then there has been an explosion of interest in this hydrated gel-like structure that coats the luminal surface of endothelial cells that line our vasculature due to its important functions in (A) basic vascular physiology and (B) vascular related diseases. This review will highlight the major advances that have occurred since our 2007 paper. Methods A literature search mainly focusing on the role of the glycocalyx in the two major areas described above was performed using electronic databases. Results In part (A) of this review, the new formulation of the century old Starling principle, now referred to as the Michel–Weinbaum glycoclayx model or revised Starling hypothesis, is described including new subtleties and physiological ramifications. New insights into mechanotransduction and release of nitric oxide due to fluid shear stress sensed by the glycocalyx are elaborated. Major advances in understanding the organization and function of glycocalyx components, and new techniques for measuring both its thickness and spatio-chemical organization based on super resolution, stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) are presented. As discussed in part (B) of this review, it is now recognized that artery wall stiffness associated with hypertension and aging induces glycocalyx degradation, endothelial dysfunction and vascular disease. In addition to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases, the glycocalyx plays an important role in lifestyle related diseases (e.g., diabetes) and cancer. Infectious diseases including sepsis, Dengue, Zika and Corona viruses, and malaria also involve the glycocalyx. Because of increasing recognition of the role of the glycocalyx in a wide range of diseases, there has been a vigorous search for methods to protect the glycocalyx from degradation or to enhance its synthesis in disease environments. Conclusion As we have seen in this review, many important developments in our basic understanding of GCX structure, function and role in diseases have been described since the 2007 paper. The future is wide open for continued GCX research.

Abstract
Breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and increased immune cell trafficking into the central nervous system (CNS) are hallmarks of the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1; CD31) is expressed on cells of the vascular compartment and regulates vascular integrity and immune cell trafficking. Involvement of PECAM-1 in MS pathogenesis has been suggested by the detection of increased levels of soluble PECAM-1 (sPECAM-1) in the serum and CSF of MS patients. Here, we report profound upregulation of cell-bound PECAM-1 in initial (pre-phagocytic) white matter as well as active cortical gray matter MS lesions. Using a human in vitro BBB model we observed that PECAM-1 is not essential for the transmigration of human CD4+ T-cell subsets (Th1, Th1*, Th2, and Th17) across the BBB. Employing an additional in vitro BBB model based on primary mouse brain microvascular endothelial cells (pMBMECs) we show that the lack of endothelial PECAM-1 impairs BBB properties as shown by reduced transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) and increases permeability for small molecular tracers. Investigating T-cell migration across the BBB under physiological flow by in vitro live cell imaging revealed that absence of PECAM-1 in pMBMECs did not influence arrest, polarization, and crawling of effector/memory CD4+ T cells on the pMBMECs. Absence of endothelial PECAM-1 also did not affect the number of T cells able to cross the pMBMEC monolayer under flow, but surprisingly favored transcellular over paracellular T-cell diapedesis. Taken together, our data demonstrate that PECAM-1 is critically involved in regulating BBB permeability and although not required for T-cell diapedesis itself, its presence or absence influences the cellular route of T-cell diapedesis across the BBB. Upregulated expression of cell-bound PECAM-1 in human MS lesions may thus reflect vascular repair mechanisms aiming to restore BBB integrity and paracellular T-cell migration across the BBB as it occurs during CNS immune surveillance.

Human CD31 on porcine cells suppress xenogeneic neutrophil-mediated cytotoxicity via the inhibition of NETosis. Xenotransplantation 2018; 25:e12396. [PMID: 29635708 DOI: 10.1111/xen.12396] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2017] [Revised: 02/28/2018] [Accepted: 03/09/2018] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Xenotransplantation is one of the promising strategies for overcoming the shortage of organs available for transplant. However, many immunological obstructions need to be overcome for practical use. Increasing evidence suggests that neutrophils contribute to xenogeneic cellular rejection. Neutrophils are regulated by activation and inhibitory signals to induce appropriate immune reactions and to avoid unnecessary immune reactivity. Therefore, we hypothesized that the development of neutrophil-targeted therapies may have the potential for increased graft survival in xenotransplantation. METHODS A plasmid containing a cDNA insert encoding the human CD31 gene was transfected into swine endothelial cells (SEC). HL-60 cells were differentiated into neutrophil-like cells by culturing them in the presence of 1.3% dimethyl sulfoxide for 48 hours. The cytotoxicity of the differentiated HL-60 cells (dHL-60) and peripheral blood-derived neutrophils was evaluated by WST-8 assays. To investigate the mechanism responsible for hCD31-induced immunosuppression, citrullinated histone 3 (cit-H3) and phosphorylation of SHP-1 were detected by a cit-H3 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blotting, respectively. RESULTS A significant decrease in dHL-60 and neutrophil-mediated cytotoxicity in SEC/hCD31 compared with SEC was seen, as evidenced by a cytotoxicity assay. Furthermore, the suppression of NETosis and the induction of SHP-1 phosphorylation in neutrophils that had been co-cultured with SEC/CD31 were confirmed by cit-H3 ELISA and Western blotting with an anti-phosphorylated SHP-1. CONCLUSION These data suggest that human CD31 suppresses neutrophil-mediated xenogenic cytotoxicity via the inhibition of NETosis. As CD31 is widely expressed in a variety of inflammatory cells, human CD31-induced suppression may cover the entire xenogeneic cellular rejection, thus making the generation of human CD31 transgenic pigs very attractive for use in xenografts.

Abstract
Src family kinases (SFKs) coordinate the initiating and propagating activation signals in platelets, but it remains unclear how they are regulated. Here, we show that ablation of C-terminal Src kinase (Csk) and receptor-like protein tyrosine-phosphatase CD148 in mice results in a dramatic increase in platelet SFK activity, demonstrating that these proteins are essential regulators of platelet reactivity. Paradoxically, Csk/CD148-deficient mice exhibit reduced in vivo and ex vivo thrombus formation and increased bleeding following injury rather than a prothrombotic phenotype. This is a consequence of multiple negative feedback mechanisms, including downregulation of the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM)- and hemi-ITAM-containing receptors glycoprotein VI (GPVI)-Fc receptor (FcR) γ-chain and CLEC-2, respectively and upregulation of the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif (ITIM)-containing receptor G6b-B and its interaction with the tyrosine phosphatases Shp1 and Shp2. Results from an analog-sensitive Csk mouse model demonstrate the unconventional role of SFKs in activating ITIM signaling. This study establishes Csk and CD148 as critical molecular switches controlling the thrombotic and hemostatic capacity of platelets and reveals cell-intrinsic mechanisms that prevent pathological thrombosis from occurring.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Both vascular endothelial cells and platelets are sensitive to blood flow induced shear stress. We have recently reported that platelet-endothelial cell interaction could greatly affect platelet activation under flow. In the present study, we aimed to investigate how platelet-endothelial cell interaction affected endothelial cell inflammatory responses under flow. MATERIALS AND METHODS Human coronary artery endothelial cells were exposed to normal or low pulsatile shear stress with or without the presence of platelets. Following shear exposure, endothelial cell ICAM-1 expression was measured using ELISA, Western blot and PCR; cell surface PECAM-1 expression/phosphorylation was measured using ELISA. Platelet adhesion to endothelial cells was quantified using immunofluorescence microscopy. To determine the role of PECAM-1 in platelet-endothelial cell interaction, endothelial cell PECAM-1 expression was suppressed using siRNA. RESULTS Pathological low shear stress induced a significant increase in endothelial cell ICAM-1 expression, at both protein and mRNA levels. Platelet adhesion to endothelial cells increased significantly under low shear stress, co-localizing with PECAM-1 at endothelial cell junctions. The presence of platelets inhibited low shear stress-induced ICAM-1 upregulation. When endothelial cell PECAM-1 expression was suppressed, platelet adhesion to endothelial cells under low shear stress decreased significantly; endothelial cell ICAM-1 expression was not affected by shear stress, with or without platelets. CONCLUSIONS These results suggested that PECAM-1 could mediate platelet adhesion to endothelial cells under shear stress. Platelets binding to endothelial cells interfered with endothelial cell mechanotransduction through PECAM-1, affecting endothelial cell inflammatory responses towards pathological shear flow.

Abstract
Vascular development and maintenance of proper vascular function through various regulatory mechanisms are critical to our wellbeing. Delineation of the regulatory processes involved in development of the vascular system and its function is one of the most important topics in human physiology and pathophysiology. Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1/CD31), a cell adhesion molecule with proangiogenic and proinflammatory activity, has been the subject of numerous studies. In the present review, we look at the important roles that PECAM-1 and its isoforms play during angiogenesis, and its molecular mechanisms of action in the endothelium. In the endothelium, PECAM-1 not only plays a role as an adhesion molecule but also participates in intracellular signalling pathways which have an impact on various cell adhesive mechanisms and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression and activity. In addition, recent studies from our laboratory have revealed an important relationship between PECAM-1 and endoglin expression. Endoglin is an essential molecule during angiogenesis, vascular development and integrity, and its expression and activity are compromised in the absence of PECAM-1. In the present review we discuss the roles that PECAM-1 isoforms may play in modulation of endothelial cell adhesive mechanisms, eNOS and endoglin expression and activity, and angiogenesis.

Abstract
Tissue contacting surfaces of medical devices initiate a host inflammatory response, characterized by adsorption of blood proteins and inflammatory cells triggering the release of cytokines, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), in an attempt to clear or isolate the foreign object from the body. This normal host response contributes to device-associated pathophysiology and addressing device biocompatibility remains an unmet need. Although widespread attempts have been made to render the device surfaces unreactive, the establishment of a completely bioinert coating has been untenable and demonstrates the need to develop strategies based upon the molecular mechanisms that define the interaction between host cells and synthetic surfaces. In this review, we discuss a family of transmembrane receptors, known as immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM)-containing receptors, which show promise as potential targets to address aberrant biocompatibility. These receptors repress the immune response and ensure that the intensity of an immune response is appropriate for the stimuli. Particular emphasis will be placed on the known ITIM-containing receptor, Signal Regulatory Protein Alpha (SIRPhα), and its cognate ligand CD47. In addition, this review will discuss the potential of other ITIM-containing proteins as targets for addressing the aberrant biocompatibility of polymeric biomaterials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) regulates platelet response to multiple agonists. How this immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif-containing receptor inhibits G protein-coupled receptor-mediated thrombin-induced activation of platelets is unknown. APPROACH AND RESULTS Here, we show that the activation of PECAM-1 inhibits fibrinogen binding to integrin αIIbβ3 and P-selectin surface expression in response to thrombin (0.1-3 U/mL) but not thrombin receptor-activating peptides SFLLRN (3×10(-7)-1×10(-5) mol/L) and GYPGQV (3×10(-6)-1×10(-4) mol/L). We hypothesized a role for PECAM-1 in reducing the tethering of thrombin to glycoprotein Ibα (GPIbα) on the platelet surface. We show that PECAM-1 signaling regulates the binding of fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled thrombin to the platelet surface and reduces the levels of cell surface GPIbα by promoting its internalization, while concomitantly reducing the binding of platelets to von Willebrand factor under flow in vitro. PECAM-1-mediated internalization of GPIbα was reduced in the presence of both EGTA and cytochalasin D or latrunculin, but not either individually, and was reduced in mice in which tyrosines 747 and 759 of the cytoplasmic tail of β3 integrin were mutated to phenylalanine. Furthermore, PECAM-1 cross-linking led to a significant reduction in the phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase-3β Ser(9), but interestingly an increase in glycogen synthase kinase-3α pSer(21). PECAM-1-mediated internalization of GPIbα was reduced by inhibitors of dynamin (Dynasore) and glycogen synthase kinase-3 (CHIR99021), an effect that was enhanced in the presence of EGTA. CONCLUSIONS PECAM-1 mediates internalization of GPIbα in platelets through dual AKT/protein kinase B/glycogen synthase kinase-3/dynamin-dependent and αIIbβ3-dependent mechanisms. These findings expand our understanding of how PECAM-1 regulates nonimmunoreceptor signaling pathways and helps to explains how PECAM-1 regulates thrombosis.

Abstract
CD31 is a transhomophilic tyrosine-based inhibitory motif receptor and is expressed by both dendritic cells (DCs) and T lymphocytes. Previous studies have established that the engagement of CD31 drives immune-inhibitory signaling in T lymphocytes, but the effect exerted by CD31 signaling in DCs remains elusive. Here, we show that CD31 is a key coinhibitory receptor on stimulated DCs, favoring the development of tolerogenic functions and finally resulting in T-cell tolerance. The disruption of CD31 signaling favored the immunogenic maturation and migration of resident DCs to the draining lymph nodes. In contrast, sustaining the CD31/SHP-1 signaling during DC maturation resulted in reduced NF-κB nuclear translocation, expression of costimulatory molecules, and production of immunogenic cytokines (e.g., IL-12, IL-6), whereas the expression of TGF-β and IL-10 were increased. More importantly, CD31-conditioned DCs purified from the draining lymph nodes of ovalbumin-immunized mice favored the generation of antigen-specific regulatory T cells (CD25(+) forkhead box P3(+)) at the expense of effector (IFN-γ(+)) cells upon coculture with naive ovalbumin-specific CD4(+) T lymphocytes ex vivo. Finally, the adoptive transfer of CD31-conditioned myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-loaded DCs carried immune tolerance against the subsequent development of MOG-induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in vivo. The key coinhibitory role exerted by CD31 on DCs highlighted by the present study may have important implications both in settings where the immunogenic function of DCs is desirable, such as infection and cancer, and in settings where tolerance-driving DCs are preferred, such as autoimmune diseases and transplantation.

Abstract
Platelet activation must be tightly controlled in order to allow platelets to respond rapidly to vascular injury and prevent thrombosis from occurring. Protein-tyrosine phosphorylation is one of the main ways in which activation signals are transmitted in platelets. Although much is known about the protein-tyrosine kinases (PTKs) that initiate and propagate activation signals, relatively little is known about the protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) that modulate these signals in platelets. PTPs are a family of enzymes that dephosphorylate tyrosine residues in proteins and regulate signals transmitted within cells. PTPs have been implicated in a variety of pathological conditions, including cancer, diabetes and autoimmunity, but their functions in hemostasis and thrombosis remain largely undefined. Exciting new findings from a number of groups have revealed that PTPs are in fact critical regulators of platelet activation and thrombosis. The primary aim of this review is to highlight the unique and important functions of PTPs in regulating platelet activity. Establishing the functions of PTPs in platelets is essential to better understand the molecular basis of thrombosis and may lead to the development of improved antithrombotic therapies.

Abstract
Platelet activation is regulated by both positive and negative signals. G6B-b is an inhibitory platelet receptor with an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) and an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based switch motif (ITSM). The molecular basis of inhibition by G6B-b is currently unknown but thought to involve the SH2 domain-containing tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1. Here we show that G6B-b also associates with SHP-2, as well as SHP-1, in human platelets. Using a number of biochemical approaches, we found these interactions to be direct and that the tandem SH2 domains of SHP-2 demonstrated a binding affinity for G6B-b 100-fold higher than that of SHP-1. It was also observed that while SHP-1 has an absolute requirement for phosphorylation at both motifs to bind, SHP-2 can associate with G6B-b when only one motif is phosphorylated, with the N-terminal SH2 domain and the ITIM being most important for the interaction. A number of other previously unreported SH2 domain-containing proteins, including Syk and PLCγ2, also demonstrated specificity for G6B-b phosphomotifs and may serve to explain the observation that G6B-b remains inhibitory in the absence of both SHP-1 and SHP-2. In addition, the presence of dual phosphorylated G6B-b in washed human platelets can reduce the EC(50) for both CRP and collagen.

Abstract
The response of platelets to changes in the immediate environment is always a balance between activatory and inhibitory signals, the cumulative effect of which is either activation or quiescence. This is true of platelets in free flowing blood and of their regulation of haemostasis and thrombosis. In this review, we consider the endogenous inhibitory mechanisms that combine to regulate platelet activation. These include those derived from the endothelium (nitric oxide, prostacyclin, CD39), inhibitory receptors on the surface of platelets (platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1, carcinoembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecule 1, G6b-B - including evidence for the role of Ig-ITIM superfamily members in the negative regulation of ITAM-associated GPVI platelet-collagen interactions and GPCR-mediated signalling and in positive regulation of "outside-in" integrin α(IIb)β(3)-mediated signalling), intracellular inhibitory receptors (retinoic X receptor, glucocorticoid receptor, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors, liver X receptor), and emerging inhibitory pathways (canonical Wnt signalling, Semaphorin 3A, endothelial cell specific adhesion molecule, and junctional adhesion molecule-A).

Abstract
Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1), an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif containing receptor, plays diverse and apparently contradictory roles in regulating the response of platelets to stimuli; inhibiting platelet response to immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif and G protein-coupled receptor signalling following stimulation with collagen, adenosine diphosphate, and thrombin, as well as enhancing integrin outside-in signalling. These dual, and opposing, roles suggest an important and complex role for PECAM-1 in orchestrating platelet response to vascular damage. Indeed, during thrombus formation, the influence of PECAM-1 on the multiple signalling pathways combines leading to a relatively large inhibitory effect on thrombus formation.

Abstract
PECAM-1 (CD31) is a cellular adhesion and signaling receptor that is highly expressed at endothelial cell-cell junctions in confluent vascular beds. Previous studies have implicated PECAM-1 in the maintenance of vascular barrier integrity; however, the mechanisms behind PECAM-1-mediated barrier protection are still poorly understood. The goal of the present study, therefore, was to examine the pertinent biological properties of PECAM-1 (i.e. adhesion and/or signaling) that allow it to support barrier integrity. We found that, compared with PECAM-1-deficient endothelial cells, PECAM-1-expressing endothelial cell monolayers exhibit increased steady-state barrier function, as well as more rapid restoration of barrier integrity following thrombin-induced perturbation of the endothelial cell monolayer. The majority of PECAM-1-mediated barrier protection was found to be due to the ability of PECAM-1 to interact homophilically and become localized to cell-cell junctions, because a homophilic binding-crippled mutant form of PECAM-1 was unable to support efficient barrier function when re-expressed in cells. By contrast, cells expressing PECAM-1 variants lacking residues known to be involved in PECAM-1-mediated signal transduction exhibited normal to near-normal barrier integrity. Taken together, these studies suggest that PECAM-1-PECAM-1 homophilic interactions are more important than its signaling function for maintaining the integrity of endothelial cell junctions.

Abstract
Phagocytes, including neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages, play a crucial role in host defense by recognition and elimination of invading pathogens. Phagocytic cells produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), inflammatory cytokines, and chemokines, leading to bacterial killing and to recruitment and activation of additional immune cells. However, inflammatory mediators are potentially harmful for the host and their production is therefore tightly controlled by multiple regulatory mechanisms. One such mechanism is immune suppression by immune inhibitory receptors, which are increasingly acknowledged as potent regulators of the immune response. So far, research has focused on the role of these receptors in the regulation of NK cells, B cells, and T cells. Importantly, an accumulating number of inhibitory receptors have been identified on phagocytes. Here, we review the role of inhibitory receptors in the regulation of phagocyte cytokine production, migration, apoptosis, ROS production, and phagocytosis. Furthermore, we discuss the intracellular mechanisms utilized by distinct inhibitory receptors to regulate specific phagocyte functions. We demonstrate that inhibitory receptors are important regulators of the immune response, which bacteria can use to their advantage.

Abstract
The multiple cell types that comprise the immune system provide an efficient defense system against invading pathogens and micro-organisms. In general, immune cells are activated for disparate functions, such as proliferation, production and release of mediators and chemotaxis, as a result of interactions between ligands and their matching immunoreceptors. This in turn leads to the recruitment and activation of a cascade of second messengers, via their regulators/adaptors, that determine the net effect of the initial response. However, activation of cells of the immune system must be tightly regulated by a finely tuned interplay between activation and inhibition to avoid excessive or inappropriate responsiveness and to maintain homeostasis. Loss of inhibitory signals may disrupt this balance, leading to various pathological processes such as allergic and auto-immune diseases. In this chapter, we will discuss down-regulating mechanisms of mast cells focusing on immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motifs (ITIM)-containing inhibitory receptors (IR).

Abstract
Filopodia are an important feature of actively motile cells, probing the pericellular environment for chemotactic factors and other molecular cues that enable and direct the movement of the cell. They also act as points of attachment to the extracellular matrix for the cell, generating tension that may act to pull the cell forward and/or stabilize the cell as it moves. Endothelial cell motility is a critical aspect of angiogenesis, but only a limited number of molecules have been identified as specific regulators of endothelial cell filopodia. Recent reports, however, provide evidence for the involvement of PECAM-1, an endothelial cell adhesion and signaling molecule, in the formation of endothelial cell filopodia. This commentary will focus on these studies and their suggestion that at least two PECAM-1-regulated pathways are involved in the processes that enable filopodial protrusions by endothelial cells. Developing a more complete understanding of the role of PECAM-1 in mediating various endothelial cell activities, such as the extension of filopodia, will be essential for exploiting the therapeutic potential of targeting PECAM-1.

Abstract
Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1, CD31) is a cell adhesion and signaling receptor that is expressed on hematopoietic and endothelial cells. PECAM-1 is vital to the regulation of inflammatory responses, as it has been shown to serve a variety of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory functions. Pro-inflammatory functions of PECAM-1 include the facilitation of leukocyte transendothelial migration and the transduction of mechanical signals in endothelial cells emanating from fluid shear stress. Anti-inflammatory functions include the dampening of leukocyte activation, suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokine production, and the maintenance of vascular barrier integrity. Although PECAM-1 has been well-characterized and studied, the mechanisms through which PECAM-1 regulates these seemingly opposing functions, and how they influence each other, are still not completely understood. The purpose of this review, therefore, is to provide an overview of the pro- and anti-inflammatory functions of PECAM-1 with special attention paid to mechanistic insights that have thus far been revealed in the literature in hopes of gaining a clearer picture of how these opposing functions might be integrated in a temporal and spatial manner on the whole organism level. A better understanding of how inflammatory responses are regulated should enable the development of new therapeutics that can be used in the treatment of acute and chronic inflammatory disorders.

Abstract
The incidence of cardiovascular diseases is ten-times higher in males than females, although the biological basis for this gender disparity is not known. However, based on the fact that antiplatelet drugs are the mainstay for prevention and therapy, we hypothesized that the signaling proteomes in platelets from normal male donors might be more activated than platelets from normal female donors. We report here that platelets from male donors express significantly higher levels of signaling cascade proteins than platelets from female
donors. In silico connectivity analysis shows that the 24 major hubs in platelets from male donors focus on pathways associated with megakaryocytic expansion and platelet activation. By contrast, the 11 major hubs in platelets from female donors were found to be either negative or neutral for platelet-relevant processes. The difference may suggest a biological mechanism for gender discrimination in cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Leukocyte recruitment plays a major role in the immune response to infectious pathogens and during inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. The process of leukocyte extravasation from the blood into the inflamed tissue requires a complex cascade of adhesive events between the leukocytes and the endothelium including leukocyte rolling, adhesion and transendothelial migration. Leukocyte-endothelial interactions are mediated by tightly regulated binding interactions between adhesion receptors on both cells. In this regard, leukocyte adhesion onto the endothelium is governed by leukocyte integrins and their endothelial counter-receptors of the immunoglobulin superfamily. The present review will focus on novel aspects with respect to the modulation of the leukocyte adhesion cascade.

Abstract
Defects in apoptotic pathways can promote cancer development and cause cancers to become resistant to chemotherapy. The cell adhesion and signaling molecule PECAM-1 has been shown to potently suppress apoptosis in a variety of cellular systems. PECAM-1 expression has been reported on a variety of human malignancies-especially hematopoietic and vascular cell cancers-but the significance of this expression has not been fully explored. The ability of PECAM-1 to inhibit apoptosis makes it an attractive candidate as a molecule that may promote cancer development and/or confer resistance to chemotherapeutic treatment. The exact mechanisms by which PECAM-1 mediates its cytoprotection have not been fully defined, but its anti-apoptotic effects have been shown to require both homophilic binding and intracellular signaling via its immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) domains. In this review, we will discuss the data regarding PECAM-1's anti-apoptotic effects and ways in which this cytoprotection may be clinically relevant to the development and/or treatment of hematologic malignancies that express this vascular cell-specific surface molecule.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The sensitivity of platelets to aggregating agents increases when low-density lipoprotein (LDL) binds to apolipoprotein E receptor 2' (apoER2'), triggering activation of p38MAPK and formation of thromboxane A2. LDL signaling is terminated by PECAM-1 through recruitment and activation of the Ser/Thr protein phosphatase PP2A, but platelets remain unresponsive to LDL when PECAM-1 activation disappears. We report a second mechanism that halts LDL signaling and in addition lowers platelet responsiveness to aggregating agents. METHODS AND RESULTS After a first stimulation with LDL, platelets remain unresponsive to LDL for 60 minutes, despite normal apoER2' activation by a second dose of LDL. A possible cause is persistent activation of the tyrosine phosphatases SHP-1 and SHP-2, which may not only block a second activation of p38MAPK, PECAM-1, and PP2A by LDL but also seem to reduce aggregation by TRAP, collagen, and ADP. CONCLUSION These findings reveal that p38MAPK phosphorylation and platelet activation by LDL are suppressed by two mechanisms: (1) short activation of PECAM-1/PP2A, and (2) prolonged activation of SHP-1 and SHP-2. Activation of SHP-1 and SHP-2 is accompanied by reduced responsiveness to aggregating agents, which--if present in vivo--would make LDL an aggregation inhibitor during prolonged contact with platelets.

A novel role for PECAM-1 (CD31) in regulating haematopoietic progenitor cell compartmentalization between the peripheral blood and bone marrow. PLoS One 2008; 3:e2338.

Abstract
Although the expression of PECAM-1 (CD31) on vascular and haematopoietic cells within the bone marrow microenvironment has been recognized for some time, its physiological role within this niche remains unexplored. In this study we show that PECAM-1 influences steady state hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) progenitor numbers in the peripheral blood but not the bone marrow compartment. PECAM-1−/− mice have higher levels of HSC progenitors in the blood compared to their littermate controls. We show that PECAM-1 is required on both progenitors and bone marrow vascular cells in order for efficient transition between the blood and bone marrow to occur. We have identified key roles for PECAM-1 in both the regulation of HSC migration to the chemokine CXCL12, as well as maintaining levels of the matrix degrading enzyme MMP-9 in the bone marrow vascular niche. Using intravital microscopy and adoptive transfer of either wild type (WT) or PECAM-1−/− bone marrow precursors, we demonstrate that the increase in HSC progenitors in the blood is due in part to a reduced ability to migrate from blood to the bone marrow vascular niche. These findings suggest a novel role for PECAM-1 as a regulator of resting homeostatic progenitor cell numbers in the blood

Abstract
AbstractActivation of human platelets by cross-linking of the low-affinity receptor for immunoglobulin G (FcγRIIA) is initiated by Src kinase–mediated phosphorylation of the immunoreceptor tyrosine–based activation motif (ITAM) within the receptor, but the identity of the enzyme responsible for its dephosphorylation and inactivation is unknown. Here we report that the 18-kDa low-molecular-weight phosphotyrosine phosphatase (LMW-PTP) is expressed in human platelets and undergoes subcellular redistribution upon FcγRIIA cross-linking. In vitro, LMW-PTP was found to efficiently dephosphorylate activated FcγRIIA and LAT, but not Syk or phospholipase Cγ2. In the megakaryocytic cell line DAMI, antibody-induced phosphorylation of FcγRIIA was rapid and transient. The late dephosphorylation of FcγRIIA was dramatically delayed upon reduction of LMW-PTP expression by siRNA. Strikingly, overexpression of LMW-PTP resulted in the inhibition of antibody-induced phosphorylation of FcγRIIA, and caused a more rapid dephosphorylation. In addition, overexpression of LMW-PTP inhibited activation of Syk downstream of FcγRIIA and reduced intracellular Ca2+ mobilization. These results demonstrate that LMW-PTP is responsible for FcγRIIA dephosphorylation, and is implicated in the down-regulation of cell activation mediated by this ITAM-bearing immunoreceptor.

Abstract
Migration of leukocytes into tissue is a key element of innate and adaptive immunity. While the capturing of leukocytes to the blood vessel wall is well understood, little is known about the mechanisms underlying the actual transmigration of leukocytes through the vessel wall (diapedesis). Even a basic question such as whether leukocytes migrate through openings between adjacent endothelial cells (junctional pathway) or through single endothelial cells (transcellular pathway) is still a matter of intensive debate. It is generally accepted that both pathways exist; however, whether they are of equal physiological significance is unclear. Several endothelial adhesion and signaling molecules have been identified, most of them at endothelial cell contacts, which participate in leukocyte diapedesis. A concept is evolving suggesting that transendothelial migration of leukocytes is a stepwise process. Blocking or eliminating some of the different adhesion and signaling proteins results in very different effects, such as trapping of leukocytes above endothelial cell contacts, in between endothelial cells, or between the endothelium and the underlying basement membrane. Other proteins are involved in the opening of endothelial cell contacts and yet others in their maintenance providing the barrier for extravasating leukocytes. The various molecular players and the functional steps involved in diapedesis are discussed.

Abstract
Leukocyte immunoglobulin (Ig)-like receptor B4 (LILRB4)(previously termed gp49B1) is a member of the Ig superfamily expressed constitutively on the surface of mast cells, neutrophils, and macrophages. LILRB4 inhibits IgE-dependent activation of mast cells in vitro through its two immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs) that recruit the src homology domain type-2-containing tyrosine phosphatase 1 into the cell membrane. Accordingly, Lilrb4(-/-) mice exhibit greater incidence and severity of IgE- and mast cell-dependent anaphylactic inflammation compared with mice that express LILRB4. In addition, mast cell-dependent inflammation induced by the interaction of stem cell factor (SCF) with its receptor Kit is also more severe in Lilrb4(-/-) mice, indicating that the counterregulatory function of LILRB4 extends beyond inflammation induced by Fc receptors, which signal through ITIMs, to responses initiated through a receptor tyrosine kinase. Indeed, pathologic inflammatory responses induced by activation of neutrophils with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) alone or with tissue-specific autoantibodies are greatly exacerbated in Lilrb4(-/-) mice. The rapid upregulation of LILRB4 expression on neutrophils in Lilrb4(+/+) mice in response to LPS suggests it is an innate counterregulatory response designed to reduce pathologic inflammation. Nevertheless, LILRB4 also serves a similar purpose for inflammation induced by the humoral adaptive immune response that is manifested through effector cells bearing Fc receptors.

Abstract
The type I Fc epsilon receptor (Fc epsilon RI) is one of the better understood members of its class and is central to the immunological activation of mast cells and basophils, the key players in immunoglobulin E (IgE)-dependent immediate hypersensitivity. This review provides background information on several distinct regulatory mechanisms controlling this receptor's stimulus-response coupling network. First, we review the current understanding of this network's operation, and then we focus on the inhibitory regulatory mechanisms. In particular, we discuss the different known cytosolic molecules (e.g. kinases, phosphatases, and adapters) as well as cell membrane proteins involved in negatively regulating the Fc epsilon RI-induced secretory responses. Knowledge of this field is developing at a fast rate, as new proteins endowed with regulatory functions are still being discovered. Our understanding of the complex networks by which these proteins exert regulation is limited. Although the scope of this review does not include addressing several important biochemical and biophysical aspects of the regulatory mechanisms, it does provide general insights into a central field in immunology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Moderate and prolonged consumption of red wine is associated with decreased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Inhibition of platelet functions by ingredients in red wine is thought to be one of the causes. However, the molecular mechanism of this inhibition has remained unexplained. MATERIALS AND METHODS We measured aggregation, changes in cytosolic Ca(2+) and tyrosine phosphorylation of the inhibitory receptor platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) in platelets stimulated with thrombin receptor (PAR-1) activating peptide (TRAP) and ADP and investigated the effects of alcohol-free polyphenolic grape extract (PGE), alcohol, and the polyphenols catechin, epi-catechin, resveratrol, trans-resveratrol, and gallic acid. RESULTS Polyphenolic grape extract induced dose-dependent inhibition of TRAP-induced and ADP-induced platelet aggregation and Ca(2+) mobilization. Inhibition was accompanied by activation of PECAM-1. Apart from a slight inhibition by catechin, ethanol or other individual polyphenols failed to inhibit aggregation or activate PECAM-1. CONCLUSIONS Red wine inhibits platelet functions through its PGE content, which stimulates the inhibitory receptor PECAM-1, thereby attenuating platelet activation.

Abstract
PECAM-1 (CD31) knockout (KO) mice exhibit excessive megakaryocytopoiesis accompanied by increased numbers of megakaryocytes associated with the stromal niche rather than the vascular niche. During earlier stages of megakaryocytopoiesis in KO marrow, an expanded Lin(-)Sca-1(+) c-kit(+) hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) population and increased quiescent Lin(-) progenitor pool were identified. During the later stages of megakaryocytopoiesis, CD31KO megakaryocytes exhibited abnormal adhesion/transmigration behaviors. Lastly, KO animals exhibited excessive splenic extramedullary megakaryocytopoiesis, which likely compensates for the impaired marrow megakaryocytopoiesis, resulting in normal peripheral platelet number. Thus, PECAM-1 modulates megakaryocytopoiesis in a hierarchic manner, functioning as a thermostat to "fine-tune" megakaryocytopoiesis.

Abstract
Sustained stimulation of platelets with protease-activated receptor agonists in presence of extracellular calcium was associated with tyrosine dephosphorylation of specific proteins of relative mobilities 35, 67, and 75 kDa. From phosphatase assays and inhibitor studies SHP1, a Src homology 2 (SH2) domain-containing tyrosine phosphatase expressed abundantly in hemopoietic cells, was found to be upregulated in platelets between 25 and 30 min following thrombin stimulation. Concomitantly, SHP1 was tyrosine phosphorylated by, and coprecipitated with, Src tyrosine kinase. SHP1 activation, association with Src and dephosphorylation of specific proteins were dependent on extracellular calcium and maintenance of a higher cytosolic calcium plateau. There was progressive impairment of platelet functions like aggregability and clot retraction, associated with downregulation of fibrinogen-binding affinity of integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3), in the platelets exposed to thrombin for 45 min. This could reflect the late physiological changes in platelets when the cells are consistently exposed to stimulatory signals under thrombogenic environment in vivo.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death and disability in the Western society. Lipoproteins are important in the development of cardiovascular disease since they change the properties of different cells involved in atherosclerosis and thrombosis. The interaction of platelets with lipoproteins has been under intense investigation. Particularly the initiation of platelet signaling pathways by low density lipoprotein (LDL) has been studied thoroughly, since platelets of hypercholesterolemic patients, whose plasma contains elevated LDL levels due to absent or defective LDL receptors, show hyperaggregability in vitro and enhanced activity in vivo. These observations suggest that LDL enhances platelet responsiveness. Several signaling pathways induced by LDL have been revealed in vitro, such as signaling via p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and p125 focal adhesion kinase. High density lipoprotein (HDL) consists of two subtypes, HDL(2) and HDL(3), which have opposing effects on platelet activation. This review provides a summary of the activation of signaling pathways after platelet-LDL and platelet-HDL interaction, with special emphasis on their role in the development of thrombosis and atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Glycoprotein (GP) VI, the main signaling receptor for collagen on platelets, is expressed in complex with the FcR gamma-chain. The latter contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif, which becomes phosphorylated, initiating a signaling cascade leading to the rapid activation and aggregation of platelets. Previous studies have shown that signaling by immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif-containing receptors is counteracted by signals from receptors with immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs. Here we show, by immunoprecipitation, that the GPVI-FcR gamma-chain complex associates with the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif-containing receptor, PECAM-1. In platelets stimulated with collagen-related peptide (CRP-XL), tyrosine phosphorylation of PECAM-1 precedes that of the FcR gamma-chain, implying direct regulation of the former. The GPVI-FcR gamma-chain complex and PECAM-1 were present in both lipid raft and soluble fractions in human platelets; this distribution was unaltered by activation with CRP-XL. Their association occurred in lipid rafts and was lost after lipid raft depletion using methyl-beta-cyclodextrin. We propose that lipid raft clustering facilitates the interaction of PECAM-1 with the GPVI-FcR gamma-chain complex, leading to the down-regulation of the latter.

Abstract
SHP-2 is a tyrosine phosphatase which functions as a positive regulator downstream of RTKs, activating growth-stimulatory signalling pathways. To date, very few G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been shown to be connected to SHP-2 and very little is known about the positive role of SHP-2 in GPCR signalling. The CCK2 receptor (CCK2R), a GPCR, is now recognized to mediate mitogenic effects of gastrin on gastrointestinal cells. In the present study, we demonstrate the role of SHP-2 in the activation of the AKT pathway by the CCK2R in COS-7 cells transfected with the CCK2R and in a pancreatic cancer cell line expressing the endogenous receptor. Using surface plasmon resonance analysis, we identified a highly conserved ITIM motif, containing the tyrosine residue 438, located in the C-terminal intracellular tail of the CCK2R which directly interacts with the SHP-2 SH2 domains. The interaction was confirmed by pull down assays and co-immunoprecipitation of the receptor with SHP-2. This interaction was transiently increased following gastrin stimulation of the CCK2R and correlated with the tyrosine phosphorylation of SHP-2. Mutational analysis of the key ITIM residue 438 confirmed that the CCK2R ITIM sequence is required for interaction with SHP-2 and the activation of the AKT pathway.

Abstract
Time-lapsed videomicroscopy was used to study the migration of platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1-deficient (PECAM-1(-/-)) murine neutrophils undergoing chemotaxis in Zigmond chambers containing IL-8, KC, or fMLP gradients. PECAM-1(-/-) neutrophils failed to translocate up the IL-8, KC, and fMLP gradients. Significant reductions in cell motility and cell spreading were also observed in IL-8 or KC gradients. In wild-type neutrophils, PECAM-1 and F-actin were colocalized at the leading fronts of polarized cells toward the gradient. In contrast, in PECAM-1(-/-) neutrophils, although F-actin also localized to the leading front of migrating cells, F-actin polymerization was unstable, and cycling was remarkably increased compared with that of wild-type neutrophils. This may be due to the decreased cytokine-induced mobilization of the actin-binding protein, moesin, into the cytoskeleton of PECAM-1(-/-) neutrophils. PECAM-1(-/-) neutrophils also exhibited intracellularly dislocalized Src homology 2 domain containing phosphatase 1 (SHP-1) and had less IL-8-induced SHP-1 phosphatase activity. These results suggest that PECAM-1 regulates neutrophil chemotaxis by modulating cell motility and directionality, in part through its effects on SHP-1 localization and activation.

Abstract
Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) is a cell surface glycoprotein receptor expressed on a range of blood cells, including platelets, and on vascular endothelial cells. PECAM-1 possesses adhesive and signaling properties, the latter being mediated by immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs present on the cytoplasmic tail of the protein. Recent studies in vitro have demonstrated that PECAM-1 signaling inhibits the aggregation of platelets. In the present study we have used PECAM-1-deficient mice and radiation chimeras to investigate the function of this receptor in the regulation of thrombus formation. Using intravital microscopy and laser-induced injury to cremaster muscle arterioles, we show that thrombi formed in PECAM-1-deficient mice were larger, formed more rapidly than in control mice, and were more stable. Larger thrombi were also formed in control mice that received transplants of PECAM-1-deficient bone marrow, in comparison to mice that received control transplants. A ferric chloride model of thrombosis was used to investigate thrombus formation in carotid arteries. In PECAM-1-deficient mice the time to 75% vessel occlusion was significantly shorter than in control mice. These data provide evidence for the involvement of platelet PECAM-1 in the negative regulation of thrombus formation.

Abstract
Activation of cell-surface receptors stimulates generation of intracellular signals that, in turn, direct the cellular response. However, mechanisms that ensure combinatorial control of these signaling events are not well understood. We show here that the Ca2+ and reactive oxygen intermediates generated upon BCR activation rapidly engage in a cooperative interaction that acts in a feedback manner to amplify the early signal generated. This cooperativity acts by regulating the concentration of the oxidant produced. The latter exerts its influence through a pulsed inactivation of receptor-coupled phosphatases, where the amplitude of this pulse is determined by oxidant concentration. The extent of phosphatase inhibition, in turn, dictates what proportion of receptor-proximal kinases are activated and, as a result, the net strength of the initial signal. It is the strength of this initial signal that finally determines the eventual duration of BCR signaling and the rate of its transmission through downstream pathways.

Abstract
Apoptosis is a physiological process that controls tissue homeostasis, in combination with survival signals delivered by distinct receptors that bind hormones, growth factors or extracellular matrix components. The extrinsic pathway of apoptosis is due to the triggering of death receptors and the activation of the caspase cascade; the intrinsic pathway is due to withdrawal of growth factors and mainly related to mitochondrial metabolism. The choice between survival or apoptosis, which is the result of such different integrated environmental signals, is crucial for the maintainance of bone marrow reservoir of hematopoietic precursors (HPC). CD34+ HPC can receive multiple survival signals during homing and maturation, due to different interactions with adhesion molecules expressed on endothelial and bone marrow stromal cells, proteins of the extracellular matrix and chemokines or growth factors. Among them, the signal delivered via platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) seems to contribute to the resistance of this cell population to starvation, and it is related to the maintainance of mitochondrial metabolism. Indeed, this molecule, originally described as an adhesion receptor belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily, capable of homophilic and heterophilic interactions, turned out to be a signalling molecule, containing an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIM) within its cytoplasmic domain. In particular, it has been shown that PECAM-1 binds to different kinases and phosphatases, including the phosphatidylinositide-3-kinase that phosphorylates Akt, which, in turn can upregulate transcription and function of antiapoptotic proteins, such as Bcl-2 and Bcl-x or A1, responsible for the rescue from mitochondrial apoptosis. The possible role of PECAM-1 engagement in the prevention of starvation-induced apoptosis of HPC precursors and in the maintainance of their survival is discussed.

Abstract
Leukocyte migration from the blood into tissues is vital for immune surveillance and inflammation. During this diapedesis of leukocytes, the leukocytes bind to endothelial cell adhesion molecules and then migrate across the vascular endothelium. Endothelial cell adhesion molecules and their counter-receptors on leukocytes generate intracellular signals. This review focuses on the active function of endothelial cells during leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions. We include a discussion of the "outside-in" signals in endothelial cells, which are stimulated by antibody cross-linking or leukocyte binding to platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1. Some of these signals in endothelial cells have been demonstrated to actively participate in leukocyte migration. We suggest that some of the adhesion molecule signals, which have not been assigned a function, are consistent with signals that stimulate retraction of lateral junctions, stimulate endothelial cell basal surface adhesion, or induce gene expression.

Abstract
Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM-1) is a member of the superfamily of immunoglobulins. This cell adhesion molecule has been implicated to mediate the adhesion and trans-endothelial migration of T lymphocytes/monocytes into the vascular wall, a critical step in the initiation of atherogenesis. Current thinking, however, posits that PECAM-1 by virtue of being a scaffolding molecule may well play a role in several signal transduction reactions. As a consequence, this cell adhesion molecule may be responsible for several biological and pathophysiological functions such as thrombosis, and inflammation. Evidence has also been put forward for a potential role of PECAM-1 in apoptosis and atherosclerosis. This article focuses on the structure of PECAM-1 and its role in intracellular signaling and implications in health and disease.

Abstract
AbstractThe triggering receptors expressed on myeloid cells (TREMs) have drawn considerable attention due to their ability to activate multiple cell types within the innate immune system, including neutrophils, monocyte/macrophages, and dendritic cells, via their association with DAP12. TLT-1 (TREM-like transcript-1) lies within the TREM gene cluster and contains the characteristic single V-set immunoglobulin (Ig) domain of the family, but its longer cytoplasmic tail is composed of both a proline-rich region and an immune receptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif, the latter known to be used for interactions with protein tyrosine phosphatases. Here we report that TLT-1 is expressed exclusively in platelets and megakaryocytes (MKs) and that TLT-1 expression is up-regulated dramatically upon platelet activation. Consistent with this observation, confocal microscopy demonstrates that TLT-1 is prepackaged, along with CD62P, into both MK and platelet α-granules. Differences in thrombin-induced redistribution of CD62P and TLT-1 indicate that TLT-1 is not simply cargo of α-granules but may instead regulate granule construction or dispersal. Together these data show that that TLT-1 does not function to inhibit members of the TREM family but instead may play a role in maintaining vascular hemostasis and regulating coagulation and inflammation at sites of injury.
