1,3 (4)-GlcNAc, and as such mediates
adhesive interactions with lymphoid and myeloid cells
(1, 2, 3). The molecule is a member of the Ig superfamily
with the unusually large number of 17 Ig-like domains (4).
It is closely related to CD22 (Siglec-2), CD33 (Siglec-3),
myelin-associated glycoprotein (Siglec-4), and Siglecs 59, and along
with sialoadhesin these molecules form the Siglec family of sialic
acid-binding lectins (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10). Previous studies have shown
that the membrane distal V-set Ig domain of sialoadhesin contains the
sialic acid binding site (11) and the structural basis for
sialic acid recognition has been resolved by mutagenesis and
crystallography (12). Under normal conditions, the expression of sialoadhesin in vivo is restricted to subpopulations of macrophages in lymphoid tissues (spleen, lymph nodes) and macrophages in the adrenal gland (13, 14, 15, 16). During chronic inflammation, as occurs during autoimmune disease, high levels of sialoadhesin are found on macrophages in inflammatory infiltrates, where it is suggested to mediate local cell-cell interactions (16, 17, 18, 19).
We have previously demonstrated that sialoadhesin can mediate adhesion of T and B lymphocytes (2). Importantly, sialoadhesin-mediated interactions appear to be important for the effective killing of tumor cells by CTLs in a murine tumor model in vivo (20). So far the counterreceptors for sialoadhesin on T cells have not been identified. Previously, we identified the heavily sialylated mucin MUC1 on breast cancer cells as a sialoadhesin-binding glycoprotein (21). In this study, we demonstrate that the sialomucin CD43 on T cells functions as a counterreceptor for sialoadhesin.

Recombinant fusion proteins composed of N-terminal Ig domains of the indicated proteins and the Fc portion of the human IgG1 were constructed, expressed in COS cells, and purified as described previously (11, 22, 23, 24, 25). Purity was >95% as shown by SDS-PAGE previously (25). The following Fc proteins were used: Sn-Fc, containing Ig-like domains 13 of the murine sialoadhesin (11); SnR97A-Fc, like Sn-Fc but with arginine-97 substituted by alanine (11); CD22-Fc, containing Ig-like domains 13 of the murine CD22 (22); CD33-Fc, containing the extracellular portion (two Ig domains) of human CD33 (23); and neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) Fc, containing the extracellular portion (five Ig domains) of human NCAM (23).
Cells, transfections, and culture conditions
Murine TK-1 lymphoma cells (2) and COS-1 cells were
grown in DMEM containing 10% FCS, penicillin, and streptomycin. COS
cells were transiently transfected with pCDM8 containing the
full-length murine CD43 cDNA (generously provided by P. A. van der
Merwe, University of Oxford, Oxford, U.K.) using the DEAE-dextran
method as described previously (24). Cells that were
expressing CD43, as measured by flow cytometry using mAb S7 (BD
PharMingen, San Diego, CA), were used for experiments. The Chinese
hamster ovary (CHO) cells stably transfected with human CD43 (CHO-CD43)
and CHO-CD43 cotransfected with the core 2
1,6 GlcNAc-transferase
(CHO-CD43-C2GnT) have been described before (26, 27) and
were grown in DMEM/10% FCS containing G-418 (100 µg/ml) and/or
hygromycin B (200 µg/ml). Expression of CD43 and the core 2 glycoform
of CD43 was checked by flow cytometry as described previously using mAb
1G10 (BD PharMingen) and T305 (27). Cells (2 x
106/ml) were metabolically labeled overnight in
glucose-low (10%) DMEM medium containing 10% dialyzed FCS and 1%
normal FCS with 2550 µCi/ml
D-[6-3H]glucosamine as previously
described (21).
Immunoprecipitations
Washed cells were lysed on ice in 1% Nonidet P-40 containing buffer (25 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 1 mM PMSF, 0.5 mg/ml leupeptin, and 0.2 mg/ml aprotinin). After pelleting (10,000 x g for 10 min) insoluble material, the lysates were precleared for 2 h at 4°C with 50 µl of a 10% slurry of protein-A-Sepharose beads. Fractions were then incubated overnight with 5 µg of Fc protein at 4°C. Fifty microliters of protein-A-Sepharose was added and incubated for 12 h, and the beads were washed three times and eluted with SDS-sample buffer. In reprecipitation experiments, bound material was eluted for 3 min at 80°C in 15 µl of 3% SDS, followed by addition of 485 µl of lysis buffer and preclearing in protein-A-Sepharose, before proceeding with the next precipitation. Specific Abs (used at 5 µg/incubation) include affinity-purified anti-peptide rabbit polyclonal Abs directed against the cytoplasmic tail of murine CD43 (28) and a rat IgG1 mAb, 2PH1, directed against murine P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 (PSGL-1) (29). Samples were resolved by 6.5% SDS-PAGE (nonreducing). Gels were fixed and radioactivity was visualized after soaking in Amersham Amplify (Amersham, Arlington Heights. IL) as recommended. Sialidase treatment was performed before lysis of the cells by incubation for 2 h at 37°C in 0.1 U/ml sialidase (Calbiochem, La Jolla, CA) in 25 mM HEPES-buffered RPMI 1640.
Cell-binding assays
Ninety-six-well plates (Immulon 3; Dynatec Laboratories, Chantilly, VA) were coated overnight at 4°C with 15 µg/ml anti-human IgG (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) in 0.1 M bicarbonate buffer (pH 9.6). After washing in PBS containing 0.25% BSA (PBS/BSA), blocking of nonspecific binding sites with 5% marvel milk protein, and washing again, plates were incubated with the indicated Fc proteins for 2 h at room temperature. After washing, TK-1 cells (2 x 105/well) were added in 25 mM HEPES-buffered RPMI 1640 and incubated for 1 h at 37°C. COS cells (107 cells/ml) were labeled for 30 min at 37°C with 10 µg/ml 2',7'-bis-(2-carboxyethyl)-5-(and-6-) carboxyfluorescein-acetoxy methyl ester (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR) dye in DMEM containing 20 mM HEPES. Cells were washed and resuspended in PBS/BSA, added (105 cells/well) to the coated plates, and incubated for 1 h at 37°C. The cells were fixed in 0.25% glutaraldehyde for 5 min, washed, and binding was quantified either by counting using an inverted microscope (TK-1) or by measuring fluorescence (excitation, 485 nm; emission, 530 nm) using a Cytofluor system (COS; Millipore, Bedford, MA). Data are expressed as mean ± SD.

1,6-GlcNAc transferase (also
called the core 2 GlcNAc transferase, C2GnT), the key enzyme
responsible for branching of O-linked glycan chains. To
investigate whether both CD43 glycoforms were capable of binding Sn
immunoprecipitation experiments were performed with CHO cells
transfected with the human CD43 cDNA (CHO-CD43) and CHO-CD43 cells
cotransfected with the
1,6-GlcNAc transferase (CHO-CD43-C2GnT). As
can be seen in Fig. 4

1,3 (NeuNac

oligosaccharide (31, 32, 33). These CD43-associated glycans
are likely to constitute a clustered ligand that binds, in a sialic
acid-dependent fashion, to the V-set Ig-like domain of Sn. In the
present experiments, branching of the oligosaccharide chains, to
generate the core 2 structures predominantly found on activated T cells
and myeloid cells, did not profoundly affect recognition. Considering
the dimensions of Sn and CD43 (1, 34), which are each
predicted to form elongated rod-like structures of 40 and 45 nm,
respectively, it seems possible that these molecules mediate
intercellular interactions at long distance and promote the initial
physical contacts between macrophages and T cells. Whether this is
important in the establishment of more firm contacts or, on the
contrary, prevents the formation of short-range interactions remains to
be investigated.
