ABSTRACT: Intercellular adhesion molecule-5 (ICAM-5, telencephalin) is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily expressed on telencephalic neurons, and serves as a ligand for the leukocyte integrin CD11 a/CD18. We studied here the binding site in ICAM-5 for CD11a/CD18. Protein constructs containing the first immunoglobulin domain of ICAM-5 were able to support CD11a/CD18 interaction, while deletion of the first domain abolished binding. Monoclonal antibodies reacting with the first domain of ICAM-5 also completely blocked the interaction. The soluble first domain of ICAM-5 inhibited the binding of T cells to immobilized ICAM-5 at concentrations of 50 nM and higher. Interestingly, the sixth domain of ICAM-5 was also able to support leukocyte binding, but this binding activity may not involve leukocyte integrins. To test the involvement of ICAM-5 in leukocyte-neuron interactions, an assay using human T cells binding to rat hippocampal neurons was established. This binding was blocked by monoclonal antibodies against CD11a/CD18 and ICAM-5. Thus ICAM-5 may act as a major adhesion molecule for leukocyte binding to neurons in the central nervous system.

ABSTRACT: We have isolated cDNA encoding human telencephalin (TLN), a brain segment-specific neuronal adhesion molecule. Human TLN comprises an NH2-terminal signal peptide, an extracellular region with nine Ig-like domains, a single transmembrane region, and a COOH-terminal cytoplasmic tail. The NH2-terminal five Ig-like domains of TLN were closely related to those of intercellular adhesion molecules (ICAMs)-1 and -3. The TLN gene was mapped to the human chromosome 19p13.2, where the ICAM-1, -3, and -4 (LW) genes are located. Furthermore, we observed lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1)-mediated adhesion of HL-60 cells on recombinant TLN protein, as well as on ICAM-1. However, the interaction of TLN with LFA-1 on HL-60 cells was divalent cation-independent and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate stimulation-independent. We conclude that TLN is a unique neuronal member of ICAM subgroup of the Ig superfamily and propose a novel type of interaction between the Ig superfamily molecule and integrin, which does not require the activation of integrin. TLN on the surface of telencephalic neurons may be a target molecule in the brain for LFA-1-expressing microglia and leukocytes in physiological or pathological conditions.
