VLA-4 (alpha 4beta 1) engagement defines a novel activation pathway for beta 2 integrin-dependent leukocyte adhesion involving the urokinase receptor

Andreas E. May, Franz-Josef Neumann, Albert Schömig, and Klaus T. Preissner

From the Deutsches Herzzentrum und 1. Medizinische Klinik des Klinikums Rechts der Isar, Technische Universität, D-80636 München, Germany; and Institut für Biochemie, Fachbereich Humanmedizin, Justus-Liebig-Universität, D-35392 Giessen, Germany.

During acute inflammatory processes, beta 2 and beta 1 integrins sequentially mediate leukocyte recruitment into extravascular tissues. We studied the influence of VLA-4 (very late antigen-4) (alpha 4beta 1) engagement on beta 2 integrin activation-dependent cell-to-cell adhesion. Ligation of VLA-4 by the soluble chimera fusion product vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1)-Fc or by 2 anti-CD29 (beta 1 chain) monoclonal antibodies (mAb) rapidly induced adhesion of myelomonocytic cells (HL60, U937) to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Cell adhesion was mediated via beta 2 integrin (LFA-1 and Mac-1) activation: induced adhesion to HUVECs was inhibited by blocking mAbs anti-CD18 (70%-90%), anti-CD11a (50%-60%), or anti-CD11b (60%-70%). Adhesion to immobilized ligands of beta 2 integrins (intercellular adhesion molecule-1 [ICAM-1], fibrinogen, keyhole limpet hemocyanin) as well as to ICAM-1-transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells, but not to ligands of beta 1 integrins (VCAM-1, fibronectin, laminin, and collagen), was augmented. VCAM-1-Fc binding provoked the expression of the activation-dependent epitope CBRM1/5 of Mac-1 on leukocytes. Clustering of VLA-4 through dimeric VCAM-1-Fc was required for beta 2 integrin activation and induction of cell adhesion, whereas monovalent VCAM-1 or Fab fragments of anti-beta 1 integrin mAb were ineffective. Activation of beta 2 integrins by alpha 4beta 1 integrin ligation (VCAM-1-Fc or anti-beta 1 mAb) required the presence of urokinase receptor (uPAR) on leukocytic cells, because the removal of uPAR from the cell surface by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C reduced cell adhesion to less than 40%. Adhesion was reconstituted when soluble recombinant uPAR was allowed to reassociate with the cells. Finally, VLA-4 engagement by VCAM-1-Fc or anti-beta 1 integrin mAb induced uPAR-dependent adhesion to immobilized vitronectin as well. These results elucidate a novel activation pathway of beta 2 integrin-dependent cell-to-cell adhesion that requires alpha 4beta 1 integrin ligation for initiation and uPAR as activation transducer.
