For example, CD98 and β1 integrins may act together during T-cell co-stimulation [ 24 ] . A genetic screen revealed that CD98 may indirectly influence integrin affinity for ligand [ 25 ] . Also, anti-CD98 mAb appeared to modulate integrin-dependent adhesion in two separate studies [ 25 26 ] . In addition, antibodies to both CD98 and α3β1 integrin promoted cell fusion [ 27 ] , and antibodies to β1 and β2 integrins blocked monocyte cell-cell fusion and aggregation functions induced by an anti-CD98 mAb [ 5 ] . Finally, like CD98, the α3β1 integrin has been implicated in amino acid transport [ 28 ] .
U937 cells share many surface markers and receptors with normal human monocytes and therefore express many monocyte like characteristics [ 14 15 16 17 ] . Concurrently we also assessed the changes in the phenotypic characteristics by flowcytometry.
For instance, mRNA for the neuropeptide Y-like receptor (Acc# X71635), which was up-regulated in Tat expressing cells, was initially discovered as a G-protein coupled neuropeptide Y receptor, and later found to be homologous to the co-receptor CCR5 needed for HIV-1 infection of monocyte/macrophage cells.
In the vessel wall, it induces expression of adhesion molecules on endothelial cells and increases monocyte chemotactic protein-1, which attracts monocytes and T cells into the vessel wall [26–28].
IDO expressed in monocyte derived macrophages has also been found to inhibit the growth of extracellular bacteria such as group B streptococci [ 11], and is also induced in tumors taken from cancer patients [ 12].
