Expression of a novel integrin beta 1 chain epitope and anti-beta 1 antibody-mediated enhancement of fibronectin binding are dependent on the stage of T cell differentiation.
Beta 1 integrins are a family of alpha beta heterodimers that serve as cell surface receptors for extracellular matrix proteins. We demonstrate that the anti-mouse integrin beta 1 chain mAb KMI6 selectively recognizes a beta 1 epitope that is constitutively expressed by certain immature thymocytes and is induced only slightly on mature thymocytes and peripheral T cells by activation with Con A. Because virtually all cells examined expressed beta 1 integrins on their surface, expression of the KMI6 epitope is T cell differentiation stage specific. Most CD3-4-8- thymocytes were KMI6+, with the lowest level of staining observed on the earliest CD44+IL-2R- cells within this subset. Expression was down-regulated during the CD3-4-8- to CD3-4-8+ transition, and lost by the CD4+8+ stage. Mature single positive thymocytes and resting peripheral T cells were also KMI6-. In contrast with the loss of the epitope before TCR expression by other thymocytes, most CD3+4-8- and certain CD8+ gamma delta TCR+ thymocytes were KMI6+ Addition of KMI6 to cell adhesion assays enhanced CD4-8- thymocyte, but not activated mature thymocyte or peripheral T cell, binding to fibronectin (via alpha 4 beta 1 and alpha 5 beta 1), whereas laminin binding (via alpha 6 beta 1) was unaffected. These properties distinguish the KMI6 epitope from other epitopes involved in beta 1 integrin activation in mice and other species. The unique selectivity of KMI6 recognition of beta 1 integrins, and its selective enhancement of ligand binding suggest that beta 1 integrin structure and factors that regulate beta 1 integrin binding are correlated with the stage of T cell differentiation.S A Wadsworth, A C Chang, M J Hong, M J Halvorson, S Otto, J E Coligan
