TIM-1 glycoprotein binds the adhesion receptor P-selectin and mediates T cell trafficking during inflammation and autoimmunity.

ABSTRACT: Selectins play a central role in leukocyte trafficking by mediating tethering and rolling on vascular surfaces. Here we have reported that T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 1 (TIM-1) is a P-selectin ligand. We have shown that human and murine TIM-1 binds to P-selectin, and that TIM-1 mediates tethering and rolling of T helper 1 (Th1) and Th17, but not Th2 and regulatory T cells on P-selectin. Th1 and Th17 cells lacking the TIM-1 mucin domain showed reduced rolling in thrombin-activated mesenteric venules and inflamed brain microcirculation. Inhibition of TIM-1 had no effect on naive T cell homing, but it reduced T cell recruitment in a skin hypersensitivity model and blocked experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Uniquely, the TIM-1 immunoglobulin variable domain was also required for P-selectin binding. Our data demonstrate that TIM-1 is a major P-selectin ligand with a specialized role in T cell trafficking during inflammatory responses and the induction of autoimmune disease.

Project description:Cell surface molecular adhesions govern many important physiological processes and are used to identify cells for analysis and purifications. But most effective cell adhesion separation technologies use labels or long-term attachments in their application. While label-free separation microsystems typically separate cells by size, stiffness, and shape, they often do not provide sufficient specificity to cell type that can be obtained from molecular expression. We demonstrate a label-free microfluidic approach capable of high throughput separation of cells based upon surface molecule adhesion. Cells are flowed through a microchannel designed with angled ridges at the top of the channel and coated with adhesive ligands specific to target cell receptors. The ridges slightly compress passing cells such that adhesive contact can be made with sufficient surface area without unduly affecting cell trajectories because of cell stiffness. Thus, sorting is sensitive to cell adhesion but not to stiffness or cell size. The enforced interactions between the cells and the ridges ensure that a high flow rate can be used without lift forces quenching adhesion. As a proof of principle of the method, we separate both Jurkat and HL60 cell lines based on their differential expression of PSGL-1 ligand by using a ridged channel coated with P selectin. We demonstrate 26-fold and 3.8-fold enrichment of PSGL-1 positive and 4.4-fold and 3.2-fold enrichment of PSGL-1 negative Jurkat and HL60 cells, respectively. Increasing the number of outlets to five allows for greater resolution in PSGL-1 selection resulting in fractionation of a single cell type into subpopulations of cells with high, moderate, and low PSGL-1 expression. The cells can flow at a rate of up to 0.2 m/s, which corresponds to 0.045 million cells per minute at the designed geometry, which is over 2 orders of magnitude higher than previous adhesive-based sorting approaches. Because of the short interaction time of the cells with the adhesive surfaces, the sorting method does not further activate the cells due to molecular binding. Such an approach may find use in label-free selection of cells for a highly expressed molecular phenotype.
