Disease relevance of ITGAL

 

High impact information on ITGAL

  • The arrangement of the immunoglobulin-like domains of ICAM-1 and the binding sites for LFA-1 and rhinovirus [6].
  • The beta2 integrin LFA-1 (lymphocyte function associated antigen; CD11a/CD18) is the common ligand for the intercellular adhesion molecules (ICAMs) [7].
  • Leukocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1) is expressed on the surface of all white blood cells and is a receptor for intercellular adhesion molecules (ICAM) 1 and 2 (ref. 3) which are members of the immunoglobulin superfamily [8].
  • Recent work has indicated that resting leukocytes express a third ligand, ICAM-3, for LFA-1 (refs 11, 12) [8].
  • We report the expression cloning of a complementary DNA, pICAM-3, encoding a protein constitutively expressed on all leukocytes, which binds LFA-1 [8].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of ITGAL

 

Biological context of ITGAL

 

Anatomical context of ITGAL

  • Strong evidence indicates that stress-triggered abortion is mediated by adhesion molecules, i.e., intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1) and leukocyte function associated molecule 1, now being referred to as integrin alpha L (ITGAL), which facilitate recruitment of inflammatory cells to the feto-maternal interface [18].
  • Immunoblotting studies identified multiple NK cell plasma membrane-associated proteins to be reduced by DTT under LFA-1-activating conditions, but similar effects were also promoted by reducing agent treatments that failed to alter adhesive function [19].
  • Two leukocyte receptors (CD11a/CD18 and CD11b/CD18) mediate transient adhesion to endothelium by binding to different ligands [20].
  • The role of leukocyte function-associated Ag-1 (LFA-1) (CD11a/CD18) in T cell-endothelial cell (EC) interactions was assessed by utilizing CD11a/CD18-deficient T cell clones generated from a patient with leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) [21].
  • Murine cell lines bind to purified human LFA-1 through ICAM-1 and at least one other counter-receptor [22].
 

Associations of ITGAL with chemical compounds

  • Bisulfite sequencing was used to compare methylation patterns in the promoter and 5' flanking regions of the ITGAL gene, encoding CD11a, in normal human T cells, which express LFA-1, and fibroblasts, which do not [14].
  • LFA-1 activation was not because of DTT chelation of Ca2+ or Zn2+ [19].
  • The conformation of LFA-1 alanine mutants was not significantly altered [23].
  • We found that monoclonal antibodies against CD11a, CD11b, CD18, or LW(ab) block adhesion of transfectant L-cells to immobilized ICAM-4-Fc protein and that the ICAM-4/beta(2) integrin interaction was highly sensitive to the presence of the divalent cations Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) [24].
  • Our results suggest that alpha(4) but not LFA-1 integrin avidity stimulation by chemokines involves rapid chemokine-induced GPCR rearrangement that takes place at cholesterol raft platforms upstream to G(i) signaling [25].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of ITGAL

  • However, in the patients with restenosis, the MFI of CD18 significantly increased at 48 h after PTCA (from 57 +/- 6 to 73 +/- 8, p = 0.0008) [37].
  • Both patients share a complete absence of CD18 protein precursor and cell surface expression, but they differ in the level of CD18 mRNA, which is normal in HS and undetectable by Northern blot in ZJO [38].
  • CD11a, CD11b, CD18, and CD35 was studied by flow cytometry on neutrophils and monocytes [39].
  • Sequential immunoprecipitation studies using the CD11a mAb (2F12) also indicate that mNI-58A recognizes an epitope on the alpha-chain of the LFA-1 molecule [40].
  • Examination of T cells from kidney graft fine-needle aspiration biopsies during rejection revealed intragraft accumulation of 'memory'-type T cells expressing high levels of CD2 and LFA-1 (CD11a/CD18) [41].
