ICAM-1, a membrane-bound receptor, is released as soluble ICAM-1 in inflammatory diseases. To delineate mechanisms regulating ICAM-1 cleavage, studies were performed in endothelial cells (EC), human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293 cells transfected with wild-type (WT) ICAM-1, and ICAM-1 containing single tyrosine-to-alanine substitutions (Y474A, Y476A, and Y485A) in the cytoplasmic region. Tyrosine residues at 474 and 485 become phosphorylated upon ICAM-1 ligation and associate with signaling modules. Cleavage was assessed by using an antibody against the cytoplasmic tall of ICAM-1, which recognizes intact ICAM-1 and the 7-kDa membrane-bound fragment remaining after cleavage. Cleavage in HEK-293 WT cells was accelerated by phorbol ester PMA, whereas in EC it was induced by tumor necrosis factor-α. In both cell types, a 7-kDa ICAM-1 remnant was detected. Tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors dephostatin and sodium orthovanadate augmented cleavage. PD98059 (MEK kinase inhibitor), geldanamycin and PP2 (Src kinase inhibitors), and wortmannin (phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor) dose-dependently inhibited cleavage in both cell types. SB-203580 (p38 inhibitor) was more effective in EC, and D609 (PLC inhibitor) mostly affected cleavage in HEK-293 cells. Cleavage was drastically decreased in Y474A and Y485A, whereas it was marginally reduced in Y476A. Surprisingly, phosphorylation was not detectable on the 7-kDa fragment of ICAM-1. These results implicate distinct pathways in the cleavage process and suggest a preferred signal transmission route for ICAM-1 shedding in the two cell systems tested. Tyrosine residues Y474 and Y485 within the cytoplasmic sequence of ICAM-1 regulate the cleavage process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
