TL;DR: The specific interaction between human Thy-1 and the leukocyte integrin Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18; αMβ2) is identified both in cellular systems and in purified form and may play an important role in the regulation of leukocytes recruitment to sites of inflammation.

Abstract: Leukocyte recruitment in response to inflammatory signals is in part governed by interactions between endothelial cell receptors belonging to the Ig superfamily and leukocyte integrins. In our previous work, the human Ig superfamily glycoprotein Thy-1 (CD90) was identified as an activation-associated cell adhesion molecule on human dermal microvascular endothelial cells. Furthermore, the interaction of Thy-1 with a corresponding ligand on monocytes and polymorphonuclear cells was shown to be involved in the adhesion of these leukocytes to activated Thy-1-expressing endothelial cells. In this study, we have identified the specific interaction between human Thy-1 and the leukocyte integrin Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18; alphaMbeta2) both in cellular systems and in purified form. Monocytes and polymorphonuclear cells were shown to adhere to transfectants expressing human Thy-1 as well as to primary Thy-1-expressing human dermal microvascular endothelial cells. Furthermore, leukocyte adhesion to activated endothelium as well as the subsequent transendothelial migration was mediated by the interaction between Thy-1 and Mac-1. This additional pathway in leukocyte-endothelium interaction may play an important role in the regulation of leukocyte recruitment to sites of inflammation.

Tackling the cancer stem cells — what challenges do they pose?
TL;DR: The signalling pathways that create cancer stem cells, cell-intrinsic mechanisms that could be exploited for selective elimination or induction of their differentiation, and the role of the tumour microenvironment in sustaining them are discussed.

TL;DR: It is shown that tumour-associated monocytes and macrophages create a CSC niche through juxtacrine signalling with CSCs through upregulating the expression of CD90 and EphA4, which mediate the physical interactions of C SCs with TAMs by directly binding with their respective counter-receptors on these cells.
Regulation of angiogenesis: wound healing as a model.
TL;DR: The article provides a rationale for targeting the angiogenic response in order to modulate the outcome of the healing response, and discusses the contribution of growth factors, basement membrane molecules, and mural cells in wound angiogenesis.

Thy-1 as a regulator of cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions in axon regeneration, apoptosis, adhesion, migration, cancer, and fibrosis
Tanya A. Rege,James S. Hagood +1 more
TL;DR: Thy‐1 is an important regulator of cell‐cell and cell‐matrix interactions, with important roles in nerve regeneration, metastasis, inflammation, and fibrosis, and the phenotype of the Thy‐1 null mouse is discussed and the role of the GPI anchor in Thy-1 localization to lipid rafts and signaling is discussed.

TL;DR: The cloned cDNA belonging to the Ig superfamily that shows 44% similarity to the junctional adhesion molecule (JAM) and maps to chromosome 21q21.2 shows that JAM2, but not JAM1, is capable of adhering to the HSB and HPB-ALL lymphocyte cell lines.

Role of ICAM-1 and ICAM-2 and alternate CD11/CD18 ligands in neutrophil transendothelial migration.
TL;DR: LFA‐1 mediates PMN TEM primarily by interaction withICAM‐1 and ICAM‐2 and IC AM‐2 may function in concert with ICam‐1 in this role, especially on unstimulated endothelium, and Mac‐1 on PMN also plays a major role in TEM and can utilize yet to be identified ligands distinct from ICAM1 or ‐2,especially on unstIMulated endot Helium.

Identification of haptoglobin as an alternative ligand for CD11b/CD18.
TL;DR: Haptoglobin is an alternative low affinity ligand for the CD11b/CD18 integrin, suggesting that this acute phase protein might regulate MAC-1-dependent cell function in vivo.
