    Abstract:
    CD47 modulates a variety of cell functions such as adhesion, spreading, and migration. Using a fusion protein consisting of the extracellular region of Src homology 2 domain bearing protein tyrosine phosphatase substrate-1 (SHPS-1) and the Fc portion of human Ig (SHPS-1-Ig) we investigated the effects of SHPS-1 as a ligand for CD47 on B lymphocytes. Although SHPS-1-Ig binding to human B cell lines was solely mediated via CD47, their binding capacity for soluble and immobilized SHPS-1-Ig varied among cell lines irrespective of the similar expression levels of CD47, suggesting that distinctive affinity/avidity states exist during B cell maturation. Nalm6 cell line and tonsilar B lymphocytes adhered to immobilized SHPS-1-Ig and showed polarization-like morphology. These effects of SHPS-1-Ig were blocked by anti-CD47 mAbs (B6H12 and SE5A5). Wortmannin, a phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase inhibitor, but not pertussis toxin significantly inhibited the polarization induced by the immobilized SHPS-1-Ig. Thus, SHPS-1 acts as an adhesive substrate via CD47 in human B lymphocyte. Immunohistochemical analyses indicated that SHPS-1 is expressed on high endothelial venule as well as macrophages in human tonsils. HUVECs also express SHPS-1 in the absence of any stimuli, and the adhesion of tonsilar B lymphocytes to nonactivated HUVECs was significantly inhibited by SE5A5, indicating that SHPS-1/CD47 interaction is involved in the adhesion. Our findings suggest that SHPS-1/CD47 interaction may contribute to the recruitment of B lymphocytes via endothelial cells under steady state conditions.
