Molecular association of CD98, CD29, and CD147 critically mediates monocytic U937 cell adhesion

Abstract

Adhesion events of monocytes represent an important step in inflammatory responses induced by chemokines. The β1-integrin CD29 is a major adhesion molecule regulating leukocyte migration and extravasation. Although several adhesion molecules have been known as regulators of CD29, the molecular interactions between CD29 and its regulatory adhesion molecules (such as CD98 and CD147) have not been fully elucidated. Therefore, in this study, we examined whether these molecules are functionally, biochemically, and cell-biologically associated using monocytic U937 cells treated with aggregation-stimulating and blocking antibodies, as well as enzyme inhibitors. The surface levels of CD29, CD98, and CD147 (but not CD43, CD44, and CD82) were increased. The activation of CD29, CD98, and CD147 by ligation of them with aggregation-activating antibodies triggered the induction of cell-cell adhesion, and sensitivity to various enzyme inhibitors and aggregation-blocking antibodies was similar for CD29-, CD98-, and CD147-induced U937 cell aggregation. Molecular association between these molecules and the actin cytoskeleton was confirmed by confocal microscopy and immunoprecipitation. These results strongly suggest that CD29 might be modulated by its biochemical and cellular regulators, including CD98 and CD147, via the actin cytoskeleton.

Src is the primary target of aripiprazole, an atypical antipsychotic drug, in its anti-tumor action

“…For direct evidence about whether Src bound its substrates p85 or STAT3, we used immunoprecipitation. Whole cell lysates with increased activated p85 and STAT3 were from LPS-treated RAW264.7 cells, according to previous reports [ 23 ]. ARP at 50 µM blocked binding of p85 to Src.…”

Plasma Leptin Levels, Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome, and Diabetes Are Associated with Obesity-Related Alterations of Peripheral Blood Monocyte Subsets

“…The β 1 integrin CD29 plays an important role in the regulation of cell attachment and migration of immune cells in inflammatory processes ( 34 ). Although the molecular regulation of CD29 has not been fully elucidated yet, it has been suggested that it might be modulated by its regulatory adhesion molecules CD98 (a cell-surface glycoprotein) and CD147 (basigin; glycoprotein coreceptor) via the actin cytoskeleton ( 35 ). Furthermore, it has recently been shown that inhibition of the integrin β1/PYK2 axis has a negative impact on the transendothelial migration of monocytes, as well as the cancer-promoting functions of tumor-associated macrophages ( 36 ).…”

Listeria monocytogenes hijacks CD147 to ensure proper membrane protrusion formation and efficient bacterial dissemination

“…Next, we wanted to investigate regions of CD147 that could be involved with (1) the stabilization of L. monocytogenes membrane protrusions and (2) the potential recruitment of CypA to the structures. To do this, we treated infected cells with a CD147 blocking antibody (called MEM-M6/1) that targets the N-terminal Ig domain of the protein [23,24]. We added the CD147 blocking antibody (vs normal mouse IgG [control]) to wild-type host cells 2 h post-infection and allowed the infections to proceed for an additional 5 h to observe membrane protrusions.…”
