Integrins are important for T cell interactions with endothelial
cells. Because the integrin
E
7 is
expressed on some circulating gut-homing T cells and as T cell numbers
are reduced in the intestinal lamina propria of
E-deficient mice, we evaluated whether
E
7 mediates binding to intestinal
endothelial cells. We found that
anti-
E
7 mAbs partially blocked the
binding of cultured intraepithelial T cells to human intestinal
microvascular endothelial cells (HIMEC). Furthermore,
E
7-transfected K562 cells bound more
efficiently than vector-transfected K562 cells to HIMEC. Finally, HIMEC
bound directly to an
E
7-Fc fusion
protein. These interactions were partially blocked by
anti-
E
7 mAbs, and endothelial cell
binding to the
E
7-Fc was dependent upon
the metal ion-dependent adhesion site within the
E A
domain. Of note, the HIMEC lacked expression of E-cadherin, the only
known
E
7 counterreceptor as assessed by
functional studies, flow cytometry, and RT-PCR. Thus,
HIMEC/
E
7 binding was independent of
E-cadherin. In addition, this interaction appeared to be tissue
selective, as HIMEC bound to the
E
7-Fc,
whereas microvascular endothelial cells from the skin did not. Finally,
there was evidence for an
E
7 ligand on
intestinal endothelial cells in vivo, as
E
7 expression enhanced lymphocyte binding
around vessels in the lamina propria in tissue sections. Thus, we have
defined a novel interaction for
E
7 at a
nonepithelial location. These studies suggest a role for
E
7 in interactions with the intestinal
endothelium that may have implications for intestinal T cell homing or
functional responses.
