Briskin,‡ and Joaquin Teixido´3* ␣ ␤ The interaction between the integrin 4 7 and its ligand, mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1, on high endothelial venules represents a key adhesion event during lymphocyte homing to secondary lymphoid tissue. Stromal cell-derived factor-1␣ (SDF-1␣) is a chemokine that attracts T and B lymphocytes and has been hypothesized to be involved in lymphocyte homing. In this work ؉ ␤ ␣ we show that 4 7-mediated adhesion of CD4 T lymphocytes and the RPMI 8866 cell line to mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1 was up-regulated by SDF-1␣ in both static adhesion and cell detachment under shear stress assays. Both naive and ␤ ␣ ␣ ␣ ؉ memory phenotype CD4 T cells were targets of SDF-1 -triggered increased adhesion. In addition, SDF-1 augmented 4 7- dependent adhesion of RPMI 8866 cells to connecting segment-1 of fibronectin. While pertussis toxin totally blocked chemotaxis ␤ ␣ ␣ ؉ of CD4 and RPMI 8866 cells to SDF-1 , enhanced 4 7-dependent adhesion triggered by this chemokine was partially inhibited, ␣ ␣ ␣ indicating the participation of G i-dependent as well as G i-independent signaling. Accordingly, we show that SDF-1 induced ␣ ␣ a rapid and transient association between its receptor CXCR4 and G i, whereas association of pertussis toxin-insensitive G 13 with CXCR4 was slower and of a lesser extent. SDF-1␣ also activated the small GTPases RhoA and Rac1, and inhibition of RhoA ␣ ␤ ␣ activation reduced the up-regulation of 4 7-mediated lymphocyte adhesion in response to SDF-1 , suggesting that activation of RhoA could play an important role in the enhanced adhesion. These data indicate that up-regulation by SDF-1␣ of lymphocyte ␣ ␤ adhesion mediated by 4 7 could contribute to lymphocyte homing to secondary lymphoid tissues.

In mouse, the beta 7 subunit is found on the majority of mature lymphocytes and a small population of thymocytes and bone marrow cells. LPAM-1 is an integrin involved in the transendothelial migration of lymphocytes across high endothelial venules (HEV), and is know to bind several ligands including MAdCAM-1, VCAM-1 and fibronectin. Binding of the DATK32 monoclonal antibody has been shown to induce aggregation of the CD8+ T cell lymphoma TK1, and block LPAM-1-mediated cell adhesion.

The aims of this study were to measure expression and functional relevance of endothelial intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1), and mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule 1 (MAdCAM-1) in leukocyte recruitment in experimental colitis and to compare the therapeutic effectiveness of their selective blockade. For this purpose, cell adhesion molecule expression was measured by the dual radiolabeled antibody technique in mice with dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis and controls. Leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions were determined in colonic venules by fluorescence intravital microscopy. Therapeutic effects of chronic treatment with anti-ICAM-1, anti-VCAM-1, or anti-MAdCAM-1 antibodies were also assessed.

Briskin2 1Former Affiliation: Millennium Pharmaceuticals. Currently at Centers for Therapeutic Innovation (CTI), Pfizer, Inc., 3 Blackfan Circle, Boston, MA 02115, USA 2Former Affiliation: Millennium Pharmaceuticals and Merrimack Pharmaceuticals; Currently at Biotechnology Consulting, 28 Harbell Street, Lexington, MA 02421, USA Abstract: The 47 integrin is a leukocyte homing receptor with selective tissue tropism for the gastrointestinal tract through its interaction with MAdCAM-1, an adhesion receptor expressed on the endothelium of the gut mucosa. Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), two inflammatory bowel diseases resulting from intestinal immune- dysregulation, are associated with pronounced infiltration of 47 positive lymphocytes. This has triggered the development of inhibitors of the 47/MAdCAM-1 homing pathway. Vedolizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody selective for 47 that demonstrated efficacy in early clinical studies for the treatment of CD and UC and is currently in phase 3 clinical trials. Targeting of 47 is also achieved by less selective therapeutic modalities which also block one of the two other leukocyte integrins that share a subunit with 47, namely, 41 and E7. Natalizumab is an anti-4 monoclonal antibody and dual 41 and 47 antagonist approved for the treatment of multiple sclerosis and CD. Other therapies in development include antibodies targeting the 7 subunit of 47 and E7, MAdCAM-1, and dual 4 small molecule antagonists. This review will focus on the mechanism of action, pharmacology, efficacy and safety properties as well as future opportunities that may arise from this unique class of leukocyte anti-adhesion antagonists.

B-cell mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) Mod Pathol 2001;14(8):798–805 lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract has been reported in recent years, but these reports have Low-grade B-cell lymphomas of mucosa-associated primarily focused on low-grade gastrointestinal lymphoid tissue (MALT) typically arise in extra- MALT lymphoma. In this study, we examined the nodal organs that physiologically do not contain lymphocytic homing receptor ␣4␤7 integrin, organized lymphoid tissues such as the gastrointes- L-selectin, and VLA-4 and mucosal addressin cell tinal (G-I) tract, thyroid gland, orbits, salivary adhesion molecule-1 (MAdCAM-1) in low-grade glands, respiratory tract, and genitourinary tract (1). lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract and other MALT lymphomas tend to remain localized to the organs such as the ocular adnexa and thyroid.

The VLA4 molecule, initially character- on the gut homing subset of CD4+ memory T cells ( 11 ), and ized on lymphoid cells, was subsequently shown to mediate on lymphocytes resident in rheumatoid synovium ( 12). Recent cell adhesion to vascular cell adhesion molecule-i (VCAM1) studies show that natural killer cells, eosinophils, and newborn (CD106), as well as to an alternately spliced form of the extra- blood B and T cells show relatively homogeneous expression cellular matrix protein fibronectin (Fn) (for review see refer- of a437, while adult blood B cells and CD8 + T cells, like CD4 + ences 1-4). VCAM1 was originally described as an inducible T cells, show more heterogeneous expression (13). Finally, the endothelial cell adhesion molecule, but has subsequently been a4 subunit (with unspecified /3) is found in several non- found to be constitutively or inducibly expressed on many other lymphoid tissues in the developing embryo, including vascular cell types (2, 3).
