Integrin {alpha}E(CD103){beta}7 Mediates Adhesion to Intestinal Microvascular Endothelial Cell Lines Via an E-Cadherin-Independent Interaction1

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