Immunohistochemical staining with monoclonal antibodies showed a differential distribution of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1/CD54) and lymphocyte function-associated antigen 3 (LFA-3/CD58) and their respective counterreceptors lymphocyte function-associated antigens 1 (LFA-1/CD11a) and 2 (LFA-2/CD2) on ten melanoma cell lines and in 46 surgically removed metastatic melanoma lesions. CD11a and CD2 were not detected on melanoma cells while CD54 and CD58 were coexpressed on the majority of the melanoma cell populations investigated. CD54 showed a higher degree of intra- and intertumor heterogeneity than CD58. gamma-Interferon and/or tumor necrosis factor alpha upregulated the expression of CD54 by melanoma cells, but neither modulated that of CD58 nor induced that of CD11a and CD2. Anti-CD54 and anti-CD58 monoclonal antibodies partially inhibited the lysis of melanoma cells by allogeneic natural killer cells, lymphokine-activated killer cells and, to a greater extent, by autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. Soluble CD54 (cCD54) purified from serum of patients with melanoma inhibited the lysis of melanoma cells F0-1 by natural killer cells in a dose-dependent fashion. These results suggest that membrane-bound CD54 and CD58 and cCD54 play a role in host-tumor interactions in patients with malignant melanoma and may account for the relationship between CD54 expression in primary lesions and the clinical course of disease.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007694 Killer Cells, Natural Bone marrow-derived lymphocytes that possess cytotoxic properties, classically directed against transformed and virus-infected cells. Unlike T CELLS; and B CELLS; NK CELLS are not antigen specific. The cytotoxicity of natural killer cells is determined by the collective signaling of an array of inhibitory and stimulatory CELL SURFACE RECEPTORS. A subset of T-LYMPHOCYTES referred to as NATURAL KILLER T CELLS shares some of the properties of this cell type.

D008545 Melanoma A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.
