Project description:Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading cause of community-acquired pneumonia. Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is an adhesion molecule that is highly expressed on the pulmonary capillary endothelium, alveolar epithelium and other cell types within the lung. ICAM-1 is known to play important roles in leukocyte adhesion, migration, and motility. To determine the contributions of ICAM-1 to bacterial clearance and leukocyte kinetics during pneumonia, mice were inoculated with S. pneumoniae and evaluated 1, 4 and 7 days later. Our results show that Icam1-/- mice have a greater number of viable bacteria within the lung at each time point. The impaired clearance observed in Icam1-/- mice was not due to an impediment in leukocyte recruitment. In fact, Icam1-/- mice had a greater number of neutrophils and recruited inflammatory macrophages in the lung tissue and the alveoli/airways on day 7. In contrast, fewer alveolar macrophages were present in the BAL of Icam1-/- mice. The loss of body weight and the concentrations of inflammatory mediators in the BAL were also significantly greater in Icam1-/- mice. Mechanistic studies to understand the defect in clearance show that neutrophils and macrophage subpopulations had no defect in phagocytosis or acidification of phagosomes. RNA sequencing reveals many differences in gene expression, but does not suggest° a defect in phagocytosis. Thus, ICAM-1 is necessary for the clearance of S. pneumoniae and for the resolution of pneumonia, but is not required for the recruitment of neutrophils or inflammatory macrophages into the pneumonic lung parenchyma or the alveoli/airways during S. pneumoniae-induced pneumonia.

Project description:The exit of antigen-presenting cells (APC) and lymphocytes from inflamed skin to afferent lymph is vital for the initiation and maintenance of dermal immune responses. How such exit is achieved and how cells transmigrate the distinct endothelium of lymphatic vessels is however unknown. Here we show that inflammatory cytokines trigger activation of dermal lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC) leading to expression of the key leukocyte adhesion receptors ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and E-selectin, as well as a discrete panel of chemokines and other potential regulators of leukocyte transmigration. Furthermore, we show that both ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 are induced in the dermal lymphatic vessels of mice exposed to skin contact hypersensitivity where they mediate lymph node trafficking of DC via afferent lymphatics. Lastly, we show that TNF_-stimulates both DC adhesion and transmigration of dermal LEC monolayers in vitro and that the process is efficiently inhibited by ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 adhesion-blocking mAbs. These results reveal a CAM-mediated mechanism for recruiting leukocytes to the lymph nodes in inflammation and highlight the process of lymphatic transmigration as a potential new target for anti-inflammatory therapy.

Project description:The bone marrow niche plays a critical role in controlling the fate of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) by integrating intrinsic and extrinsic signals. However, the molecular events in the HSC niche remain to be investigated. Here, we report that intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) maintains HSC quiescence and repopulation capacity in the niche. ICAM-1-deficient mice (ICAM-1-/-) displayed significant expansion of phenotypic long-term HSCs with impaired quiescence, as well as favors myeloid cell expansion. ICAM-1-deficient HSCs presented normal reconstitution capacity during serial transplantation; however, reciprocal transplantation experiments showed that ICAM-1 deficiency in the niche impaired HSCs quiescence and repopulation capacity. In addition, ICAM-1 deletion caused failure to retain HSCs in the bone marrow and changed the expression profile of stroma cell-derived factors, possibly representing the mechanism for defective HSCs in ICAM-1-/- mice. Collectively, these observations identify ICAM-1 as a regulator in the bone marrow niche.

Project description:In the present study, we aimed to determine the genes involved in inflammatory process of diabetic nephropathy. ICAM-1+/+ and ICAM-1-/- mice aged 8 weeks were divided into four groups: 1) nondiabetic ICAM-1+/+ mice (ND-WT), 2) nondiabetic ICAM-1-/- mice (ND-KO), 3) streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic ICAM-1+/+ mice (DM-WT), and 4) STZ-induced diabetic ICAM-1-/- mice (DM-KO). Three months after the induction of diabetes, total RNA was extracted from each specimen of renal cortex. We examined gene expression profiles of four groups. We identified 193 genes; the ratio of expression level of DM-WT was >2 or <0.5 of that of DM-KO. Of 193 genes, hierarchical clustering identified 33 genes that were significantly upregulated only in DM-WT but not remarkable in ND-WT and ND-KO. Functional annotation of these 33 genes revealed that the significant functions of them were related to the immune or inflammatory process: immune response, response to stimulus, defense response, immune effector process and antigen processing and presentation. These genes contained several inflammatory related genes, such as chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 10, chemokine (c-c motif) ligand 12, and chemokine (c-c motif) ligand 8. In this cluster, we focused on cholecystokinin (CCK) because CCK is one of the most up-regulated genes. Real-time RT-PCR revealed that CCK mRNA expression was significantly up-regulated in DM-WT compared with DM-KO. These results suggest that CCK may play a critical role in the progression of diabetic nephropathy by controlling inflammation in diabetic kidney.

Real-time RT-PCR revealed that CCK mRNA expression was significantly up-regulated in DM-WT compared with DM-KO. These results suggest that CCK may play a critical role in the progression of diabetic nephropathy by controlling inflammation in diabetic kidney. Male ICAM-1-/- mice (C57BL/6J background) were purchased from The Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME). Male C57BL/6J mice (ICAM-1+/+) mice were used as controls. ICAM-1+/+ and ICAM-1-/- mice aged 8 weeks were divided into four groups (n = 5 each): 1) nondiabetic ICAM-1+/+ mice (ND-WT), 2) nondiabetic ICAM-1-/- mice (ND-KO), 3) streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic ICAM-1+/+ mice (DM-WT), and 4) STZ-induced diabetic ICAM-1-/- mice (DM-KO). Mice in the diabetic groups received an intraperitoneal injection of STZ (Sigma Chemical, St.Louis, MO) at 200 mg/kg in citrate buffer (pH 4.5). Blood glucose levels were determined 7 days after STZ injection and only mice with blood glucose concentrations >16 mmol/L were used in the study. Nondiabetic ICAM-1+/+ and ICAM-1-/- mice received citrate buffer injections only. All mice had free access to standard diet and tap water. All animal procedures were performed according to the Guidelines for Animal Experiments at Okayama University Medical School, Japanese Government Animal Protection and Management Law (no. 105), and Japanese Government Notification on Feeding and Safekeeping of Animals (no. 6). Three months after the induction of diabetes, all mice were killed, and the kidneys were harvested. Total RNA was extracted from each specimen of renal cortex using standard protocol from RNeasy midi kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA) at 3 months. The concentration and the quality of the total RNA sample were assessed by Agilent Bioanalyzer. Biotin-labeled target cRNA was prepared using First and Second strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (Amersham Biosciences, No. 320000) and In Vitro Transcription Kit (Amersham Biosciences, No.320001). Incubate total RNA (5 μg), diluted bacterial mRNA spike controls and T7 oligo (dT) primer for 10 min at 70 C. Add first-strand reaction components and incubate 1 hour at 42C. Add the first-strand cDNA product to the second-strand reaction components and incubate for 2 hours at 16 C. Double-strand cDNA was purified using QIAquick purification kit (Qiagen), eluted twice, each time with 30μl of nuclease-free water then dried in a SpeedVac concentrator. Prepare IVT mix of biotinylated UTP, ribonucleotides, and the 10x T7 enzyme mix and add to the resuspended cDNA. Incubate at 37C for 14 hours. Purify cRNA using RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen) and elute the cRNA twice, each time with 50 μl nuclease-free water. Measure the absorbance at 260 nm and 280 nm to determine the ratio (A260:A280=2). In 25 μl total volume, add 10 μg of cRNA to 5 μl of 5x fragmentation buffer and incubate at 94 C for 20 min. Bring 10 μg of fragmented cRNA, 78 μl of hybridization buffer component A, and 130 μl of hybridization buffer component B to a final volume of 260 μl with water. Incubate at 90C for 5 min and immediately chill on ice for 5 min. Slowly inject 250 μl of hybridization reaction mixture into array input port and seal ports with sealing strips. Set the shaker speed to 300 rpm and incubate slides for 18 hours at 37C in an Innove 4080 shaker. Remove the Flex Chamber using the hybridization removal tool. Then, place the bioarrays into the bioarray rack while it sits inside the medium reagent reservoir containing 0.75xTNT. Transfer the bioarray rack to the large reagent reservoir containing preheated 0.75xTNT, and incubate at 46 C for exactly 1 hour. Fill each slot of the small reagent reservoir with 3.4 ml of Cy5-Streptavidin working solution. Transfer the bioarray rack from the large reagent reservoir in to the small reagent reservoir and incubate bioarrays at RT for 30 min. Wash the bioarrays four times with 1xTNT at RT for 5 min. Rinse the bioarrays in 0.1xSSC/0.05%Tween by moving rack up and down 5 times in 5 seconds. Immediately follow the rinse with centrifugation to dry bioarrays, and store dried bioarrays in the dark. We scanned bioarrays with Axon GenePix 4000B and analyzed with CodeLink Expression Analysis software version 2.3.2. The 10,000 spot intensities on the scanned microarray image were normalized to a median value of 1 and data were exported for analysis with CodeLink Expression Analysis software version 2.3.2

Project description:Invasion of leukocytes, including neutrophils, in response to injury or infection relies on the orchestrated activation of integrins. The neutrophil integrin lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) has been implicated in the regulation of leukocyte adhesion by binding to ICAM-1 expressed on activated endothelial cells. The activation-dependent conformational change of LFA-1 to the high affinity conformation (H+) requires kindlin-3 binding to the tail of the β2-integrin. How the integrin linked kinase (ILK) affects activation of β2-integrins in leukocytes is currently unknown. Here, utilizing in vitro microfluidic adhesion chambers with conformation specific antibodies for neutrophil-like HL-60 cells, we show that knockdown of ILK reduces the conformational change of β2-integrins to the H+ conformation. Consequently, ILK-deficient mice show defects of leukocyte adhesion and recruitment in a chemokine and integrin-dependent cremaster muscle model and in a clinically relevant model of renal-ischemia-reperfusion-injury. Absence of protein kinase C (PKC)-α, which is known to phosphorylate Kindlin-3, reproduces such phenotype in bone marrow chimeric mice. ILK is required for chemokine-induced upregulation of PKC-α activity. Mass spectrometry analysis and western blot analyses revealed a stimulation- and ILK-dependent phosphorylation of kindlin-3 upon activation. Our data thus show that ILK impacts kindlin-3-dependent conformational activation of LFA-1, thus contributing to an inflammatory response.
