A lectin function within CD11b mediates both cytotoxic priming of Mac-1/complement receptor type 3 (CR3) by ␤-glucan and the formation of transmembrane signaling complexes with GPI-anchored such as CD16b (Fc␥RIIIb). A requirement for GPI-anchored plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR; CD87) in neutrophil adhesion and diapedesis has been demon- strated with uPAR-knockout mice. In this study, neutrophil activation conditions generating high-affinity (H-AFN) or low-affinity ␤ (L-AFN) 2 adhesion were explored. A role for the Mac-1/CR3 lectin domain and uPAR in mediating H-AFN or L-AFN adhesion was suggested by the inhibition of Mac-1/CR3-dependent adhesion to ICAM-1 or fibrinogen by ␤-glucan or anti-uPAR. The formation of uPAR complexes with Mac-1/CR3 activated for L-AFN adhesion was demonstrated by fluorescence resonance Downloaded from energy transfer. Conversely, Jurkat cell LFA-1 H-AFN-adhesion to ICAM-1 was not associated with uPAR/LFA-1 complexes, any requirement for GPI-anchored glycoproteins, or inhibition by ␤-glucan. A single CD11b lectin site for ␤-glucan and uPAR was suggested because the binding of either ␤-glucan or uPAR to Mac-1/CR3 selectively masked two CD11b epitopes adjacent to the transmembrane domain. Moreover, treatment with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C that removed GPI-anchored increased CD11b-specific binding of 125I-labeled ␤-glucan by 3-fold and this was reversed with soluble recombinant

uPAR. Conversely, neutrophil activation for generation of Mac-1/CR3/uPAR complexes inhibited CD11b-dependent binding of http://www.jimmunol.org/ 125I-labeled ␤-glucan by 75%. These data indicate that the same lectin domain within CD11b regulates both the cytotoxic and adhesion functions of Mac-1/CR3. The Journal of Immunology, 2002, 169: 6417–6426.

The current study examined neutrophils for the formation of mem- brane clusters between Mac-1/CR3 and uPAR using RET of an excitation signal from FITC-labeled Mac-1/CR3 to TRITC-labeled uPAR (Fig. 7). With this system, excitation of TRITC by FITC requires that the excited FITC be within 7 nm of the TRITC (46). Neutrophils were stimulated by incubation in 10 mM Mg2ϩ/EGTA that generates adhesion via H-AFN LFA-1 and L-AFN Mac-1/ CR3.

The CBRM1/23 mAb defines an epitope (Fig. 8, epitope subregion no. 4) that is both closest to the transmembrane domain of CD11b (47) and inhibited most by ␤-glucan binding (81%) to Mac-1/CR3 (8). By contrast, OKM1 defines an epitope subregion (no. 1) that is furthest from the transmembrane domain (47) and inhibited least (32%) by ␤-glucan binding to Mac-1/CR3 (8). The CBRM1/10 epitope (no. 3) is located adjacent and N-terminal to the epitope defined by CBRM1/23, and was masked by 74% following ␤-glucan ligation to Mac-1/CR3. These data suggest that the lectin domain respon- sible both for binding soluble ␤-glucan, and potentially also for generating lectin-dependent complexes between Mac-1/CR3 and GPI-anchored molecules, may be located near the transmembrane domain and epitope no. 4. Based on these data, experiments were conducted to determine whether the formation of Mac-1/CR3 complexes with uPAR blocked any of these C-terminal epitopes in a similar manner to FIGURE 9.

A similar but reduced unmasking effect by PiPLC was also noted with the CBRM1/10 epitope that is adjacent to the CBRM1/23 epitope. As with the CBRM1/23 epitope, the large increase in total Mac-1/CR3 surface expression induced by PMA was not detectable by a comparable increase in staining with CBRM1/10 indicating some masking of this epitope on newly ex- pressed Mac-1/CR3. However, as with CBRM1/23, treatment of neutrophils with PiPLC to remove GPI-anchored proteins caused a significant increase in the amount of CBRM1/10 staining after PMA stimulation. By contrast, exposure of the OKM1 epitope that is separated by three epitope subdomains from the transmembrane region of CD11b, was not significantly affected by PiPLC treat- ment. PiPLC treatment had also no effect on expression of the I-domain epitope recognized by MN-41 (Fig. 9) whose expression is also unaffected by the presence of ␤-glucan bound to CR3 (8). FIGURE 8.

Not only does ␤-glucan dissociate membrane complexes between uPAR and CR3 (51, 52), but also the current studies demonstrated that ␤-glucan also inhibits CR3-dependent adhesion to ICAM-1 or fibrinogen. Moreover, uPAR competes with ␤-glucan for binding to CR3. Finally, the generation of adhesion through formation of membrane complexes between uPAR and CR3 was shown to mask selectively the same C-terminal epitopes of CD11b that had been reported previously to be masked by the binding of soluble ␤-glu- can to CR3. An unexpected finding was that uPAR complexes with Mac-1/ CR3 were involved in mediating adhesion via L-AFN as well as H-AFN binding sites. The current investigation used fluorescence microscopy measurements of RET to demonstrate the formation of FIGURE 10. ␤-Glucan binding to Mac-1/CR3 is enhanced following uPAR complexes with Mac-1/CR3 under conditions of neutrophil removal of GPI-anchored proteins from neutrophils and this enhancement stimulation with 10 mM Mg2ϩ/EGTA that did not generate either is reversed by sr-uPAR.

However, because of the relatively high binding affinity of Mac-1/CR3 (Fig. 9).
