To examine the role of the ICAM-1 C-terminal domain in transendothelial T lymphocyte migration and ICAM-1-mediated signal transduction, mutant human (h)ICAM-1 molecules were expressed in rat brain microvascular endothelial cells. The expression of wild-type hICAM-1 resulted in a significant increase over basal levels in both adhesion and transendothelial migration of T lymphocytes. Endothelial cells (EC) expressing ICAM-1 in which the tyrosine residue at codon 512 was substituted with phenylalanine (hICAM-1Y512F) also exhibited increased lymphocyte migration, albeit less than that with wild-type hICAM-1. Conversely, the expression of truncated hICAM-1 proteins, in which either the intracellular domain was deleted (hICAM-1
C) or both the intracellular and transmembrane domains were deleted through construction of a GPI anchor (GPI-hICAM-1), did not result in an increase in lymphocyte adhesion, and their ability to increase transendothelial migration was attenuated. Truncated hICAM-1 proteins were also unable to induce ICAM-1-mediated Rho GTPase activation. EC treated with cell-permeant penetratin-ICAM-1 peptides comprising human or rat ICAM-1 intracellular domain sequences inhibited transendothelial lymphocyte migration, but not adhesion. Peptides containing a phosphotyrosine residue were equipotent in inhibiting lymphocyte migration. These data demonstrate that the intracellular domain of ICAM-1 is essential for transendothelial migration of lymphocytes, and that peptidomimetics of the ICAM-1 intracellular domain can also inhibit this process. Such competitive inhibition of transendothelial lymphocyte migration in the absence of an affect on adhesion further implicates ICAM-1-mediated signaling events in the facilitation of T lymphocyte migration across brain EC. Thus, agents that mimic the ICAM-1 intracellular domain may be attractive targets for novel anti-inflammatory therapeutics.
