Calcium-dependent homotypic adhesion through leukocyte function- associated antigen-1/intracellular adhesion molecule-1 induces interleukin-1 and parathyroid hormone-related protein production on adult T-cell leukemia cells in vitro

Adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) is a human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I)-infected lymphoproliferative disorder that shows a characteristic nodular infiltration into various tissues, hypercalcemia, and subsequent rapid increase of peripheral ATL cell number. ATL cells and HTLV-I-infected T-cell lines also make cluster formation rapidly after the non-stimulative culture. However, the mechanism of the acute proliferation of ATL cells remains to be understood. We report the following novel features of homotypic adhesion via leukocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA- 1)/intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) pathway that suggest a role for it in cytokine production and rapid proliferation of ATL cells: (1) ATL cells show clustering in a calcium dependent manner, even at the higher concentration; (2) ATL cells consistently and highly express ICAM-1 and an active form of LFA-1, whereas integrin expression, except for LFA-1, is rather lower compared with that of normal CD4+ T cells; (3) ATL cells make conjugate formation within 6 minutes and clustering within 48 hours, both of which are inhibited by the addition of monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) against LFA-1 and ICAM-1; (4) spontaneous mRNA transcription and protein secretion of both interleukin-1 and parathyroid hormone-related protein are observed consistently in ATL cells, and these productions are inhibited by anti- LFA-1 and anti-ICAM-1 MoAbs but are markedly increased by cross-linking of LFA-1 and ICAM-1 by the immobilized specific MoAbs; and (5) proliferative responses of ATL cells are also inhibited by these MoAbs. We propose that ATL cells proliferate in sequential events: the homotypic and calcium-dependent adhesion through LFA-1/ICAM-1, the signal transduction through these adhesion molecules, the production of cytokines, and the proliferation.
