    Description: Phorbol esters upregulate the functional affinity of beta 1 integrin receptors for fibronectin on human neutrophils and other leukocytes. We investigated the ability of phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) to stimulate the human promyelocytic cell line HL-60 to adhere to fibronectin, either in its undifferentiated state (HL60) or after dimethylsulfoxide-induced differentiation along the granulocytic pathway (dHL60). PMA stimulated little adherence of undifferentiated HL60 to fibronectin or to the 120-kD chymotryptic cell-binding domain (CBD) of fibronectin. In contrast, PMA stimulated dHL60 cells to rapidly adhere to both fibronectin- and to CBD-coated plastic. PMA- stimulated dHL60 adherence to fibronectin was largely mediated by both alpha 4 beta 1 and alpha 5 beta 1, whereas PMA-stimulated dHL60 adherence to CBD was largely mediated by alpha 5 beta 1. There was little contribution from beta 2 integrins to PMA-stimulated dHL60 adherence to fibronectin or CBD. The inability of undifferentiated HL60 to adhere to fibronectin and CBD did not result from lack of expression of alpha 4 beta 1 or alpha 5 beta 1 because HL60 and dHL60 express similar amounts of both alpha 4 beta 1 and alpha 5 beta 1 on their surface. In addition, 1 mmol/L Mn2+ induced similar amounts of alpha 5 beta 1-dependent adherence of both HL60 and dHL60, showing that alpha 5 beta 1 on undifferentiated HL60 is capable of binding to its ligand. These data suggest that activation of protein kinase C cannot functionally upregulate these beta 1 integrins on undifferentiated HL60 cells. The development of PMA-stimulated beta 1-dependent adherence after granulocytic differentiation of HL60 cells suggests that the differentiated HL60 cell is a useful model for investigating functional coupling of protein kinase C to beta 1 integrin in myeloid cells.

    Description: Regulated adherence of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) to endothelium and subendothelial matrix is a critical event for PMN localization at and migration into inflammatory sites. We previously reported that human PMNs stimulated in vitro adhere to laminin, the major glycoprotein of mammalian basement membrane, by both CD11/CD18 (beta 2 integrin)-dependent and CD11/CD18-independent mechanisms. This CD11/CD18-independent adherence is inhibited by monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) directed against the beta 1 subunit of integrins (very late antigens [VLA]). The specific PMN VLA receptor responsible for stimulated CD11/CD18-independent PMN adherence to laminin was not elucidated. We show here that this CD11/CD18-independent adherence is mediated by a member of the beta 1 integrins, VLA-6. MoAbs GoH3 and 450– 30, which bind the alpha 6 subunit of VLA-6, significantly reduced adherence of phorbol myristate acetate-stimulated PMNs to laminin- coated surfaces when CD11/CD18-independent adherence was blocked with anti-CD11/CD18 MoAbs. Furthermore, GoH3 completely inhibited stimulated adherence of CD11/CD18-deficient PMNs to laminin. Analysis by flow cytometry showed that human PMNs express VLA-6. The PMN alpha 6 is identical in size and pl to the platelet alpha 6, but the PMN beta 1 exhibits considerable heterogeneity in molecular weight compared with the platelet beta 1. This activation-dependent adherence receptor for laminin may play a role in PMN interaction with basement membrane laminin during PMN movement through vascular walls.
