Phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxide-induced THP-1 cell adhesion to intracellular adhesion molecule-1.

ABSTRACT: The accumulation of phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxide (PCOOH), a primary oxidation product of phosphatidylcholine (PC), in blood plasma and tissues has been observed in various pathological conditions, including atherosclerosis. However, the biological roles of PCOOH in these conditions remain unknown. To estimate the atherogenicity of PCOOH, we evaluated the effect of PCOOH on THP-1 monocytic cell adherence to immobilized vascular endothelial cell adhesion molecules. THP-1 cell adhesion to intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) was dose-dependently increased by addition of PCOOH. Phosphatidylcholine hydroxide (a hydroxyl analog of PCOOH) also induced THP-1 cell adhesion to ICAM-1, whereas nonoxidized PC, sn-2 truncated PCs, and other hydroperoxide compounds did not affect the adhesion. In the PCOOH-treated cells, obvious protruding F-actin-rich membrane structures were formed, and lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) was localized to the protruding structures. Cytochalasin D, an actin polymerization inhibitor, suppressed the PCOOH-induced cell adhesion to ICAM-1 and the membrane protrusions. These results indicate that PCOOH evokes LFA-1-mediated cell adhesion to ICAM-1 via actin cytoskeletal organization, and the mechanism may participate in monocyte adherence to the arterial wall in the initiation of atherosclerosis.

Project description:BackgroundPulmonary emphysema is characterized histologically by destruction of alveolar walls and enlargement of air spaces due to lung epithelial cell apoptosis. Cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1) is an immunoglobulin superfamily member expressed in lung epithelial cells. CADM1 generates a membrane-associated C-terminal fragment, αCTF, through A disintegrin- and metalloprotease-10-mediated ectodomain shedding, subsequently releasing the intracellular domain (ICD) through γ-secretase-mediated intramembrane shedding of αCTF. αCTF localizes to mitochondria and induces apoptosis in lung epithelial cells. αCTF contributes to the development and progression of emphysema as a consequence of increased CADM1 ectodomain shedding. The purpose of this study was to examine whether the ICD makes a similar contribution.ResultsThe ICD was synthesized as a 51-amino acid peptide, and its mutant was synthesized by substituting seven amino acids and deleting two amino acids. These peptides were labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate and were introduced into various cell lines. ICD peptide-derived fluorescence was well visualized in lung epithelial cells at the site of Mitotracker mitochondrial labeling, but was detected in locations other than mitochondria in other cell types. Mutant peptide-derived fluorescence was detected in locations other than mitochondria, even in lung epithelial cells. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling assays revealed that transduction of the ICD peptide increased the proportion of apoptotic cells 2- to 5-fold in the lung epithelial cell lines, whereas the mutant peptide did not. Abundance of the ICD was below the Western blot detection limit in emphysematous (n = 4) and control (n = 4) human lungs. However, the ICD was detected only in emphysematous lungs when it was immunoprecipitated with anti-CADM1 antibody (4/4 vs. 0/4, P = 0.029).ConclusionsAs the abundance of ICD molecules was sparse but present, increased CADM1 shedding appeared to contribute to the development of emphysema by generating αCTF and the ICD in lung epithelial cells.
