Mucosal vascular addressin cell adhesion molecule 1 (MAdCAM-1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MADCAM1 gene.[3][4][5] The protein encoded by this gene is an endothelial cell adhesion molecule that interacts preferentially with the leukocyte beta7 integrin LPAM-1 (alpha4 / beta7), L-selectin, and VLA-4 (alpha4 / beta1) on myeloid cells to direct leukocytes into mucosal and inflamed tissues. It is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and is similar to ICAM-1 and VCAM-1.[3]

Nomenclature

[edit]

Addressin is a lesser-used term to describe the group of adhesion molecules that are involved with lymphocyte homing, commonly found at high-endothelial venules (HEVs) where lymphocytes exit the blood and enter the lymph node.[6][7] Addressins are the ligands to the homing receptors of lymphocytes.[8] The task of these ligands and their receptors is to determine which tissue the lymphocyte will enter next. They carry carbohydrates in order to be recognized by L-selectin.[9] Addressins physically bind to mobile lymphocytes to guide them to the HEVs.[6] Examples of molecules that are often referred to as addressins are CD34 and GlyCAM-1 on HEVs in peripheral lymph nodes, and MAdCAM-1 on endothelial cells in the intestine.[7]

Function

[edit]

In terms of migration, MAdCAM-1 is selectively expressed on mucosal endothelial cells, driving memory T-cell re-circulation through mucosal tissues. In contrast, and indeed the main difference between the two molecules, ICAM molecules are involved with naïve T-cell re-circulation. Whereas MAdCAM-1 is selectively expressed, ICAM is broadly expressed on inflamed endothelium.

Peripheral node addressins

[edit]

Peripheral node addressins (PNAd) are carbohydrate residues that are lymphocyte homing receptor ligands that are expressed on the HEVs of peripheral lymph nodes.[10] These proteins collectively bind to L-selectin to guide lymphocytes such as mature naïve B and T cells into the lymph node.[9][11][12] During the development of secondary lymphoid organs, PNAd expression is upregulated following the upregulation and subsequent downregulation of MAdCAM-1 on HEVs.[12] PNAd expression, as well as the expression of MAdCAM-1, is dependent on lymphotoxin signaling in the HEVs of lymph nodes.[12]

Clinical significance

[edit]

In inflammatory bowel diseases, MAdCAM-1 can be overexpressed on the endothelial cells of intestinal mucosa and gut-associated lymphoid tissue, leading to excessive inflammation in the gut.[13] A potential therapeutic target to manage these diseases could be the MAdCAM-1 molecules that are expressed on these cells and bring in lymphocytes. One example of a potential therapy is the fully human monoclonal antibody ontamalimab that targets and binds to MAdCAM-1, preventing it from interacting with the integrins on the surface of the lymphocytes.[14]
