LFA-1 is a ß2 integrin that plays well-characterized roles in adhesion of T lymphocytes to APC, T cell-mediated cytolysis, and leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions. Although it is clear that LFA-1 must undergo affinity or avidity changes to bind its cellular ligand ICAM-1, the intracellular signaling pathways involved are not well characterized. Here, we show that the Ras-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway is also involved in TCR-activated LFA-1 adhesion. Expression of a dominant negative form of p21ras in a thymocyte cell line inhibits, while constitutively active p21ras both enhances and sustains, subsequent TCR-triggered adhesion to isolated ICAM-1. However, the Ras/MAPK pathway alone is not sufficient for activating T cell LFA-1, as inhibition of both downstream MAPK/extracellular regulated kinase kinase (MEK) activity and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity is required for complete inhibition of adhesion.
