Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 6 (CEACAM-6), previously called nonspecific cross‑reacting antigen (NCA) or CD66c, is one of seven human CEACAM family members within the immunoglobulin superfamily (1-4). In humans, CEACAMs include type I transmembrane proteins (CEACAM-1, -3, and -4) and Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked molecules (CEACAM-5 through -8) (1). There is no human CEACAM-2. Human CEACAM-6 is a 90 kDa, GPI-linked membrane protein that contains a 34 amino acid (aa) signal sequence, a 286 aa extracellular domain (ECD), and a 24 aa hydrophobic C-terminal propeptide. The GPI membrane anchor is attached at the C-terminus following cleavage of the propeptide. CEACAM-6 contains one N-terminal V-type Ig-like domain (N domain), followed by two C2-type Ig-like domains (2-4). It shows considerable glycosylation, including (sialyl) LewisX, which mediates binding to E-Selectin, Galectins and some bacterial fimbrae (1, 2). Mature human CEACAM-6 shows 84%, 85%, 80%, 87% and 51% aa identity to the equivalent extracellular regions of human CEACAMs -1, -5 (CEA) and -8, rhesus CEACAM-2, and bovine CEACAM-6, respectively. CEACAM-6 is expressed by granulocytes and their precursors. Activation enhances surface expression by mobilizing CEACAM-6 from storage in azurophilic granules (5, 6). It often shows aberrant expression in acute lymphocytic leukemias (10). CEACAM-6 is also expressed in epithelia of various organs and is upregulated in pancreatic and colon adenocarcinomas and hyperplastic polyps (7, 8). Over-expression confers resistance to adhesion-related apoptosis (anoikis) in tumor cells (8, 9). CEACAM-6 is an intercellular adhesion molecule, forming both homotypic, and heterotypic bonds with CEACAM-1, -5 and -8 through interaction of the V-type Ig-like domains (11, 12). Cross-linking of neutrophil CEACAM-6 augments Integrin alpha v beta 3 and beta 2-mediated adhesion, apparently by Src and Caveolin-mediated inside-out Integrin activation (8, 13, 14).

Detection of CEACAM‑6/CD66c in Human Granulocytes by Flow Cytometry.
Human whole blood granulocytes were stained with Mouse Anti-Human CEACAM-6/CD66c Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB3934, filled histogram) or isotype control antibody (Catalog # MAB003, open histogram), followed by Phycoerythrin-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG F(ab')2Secondary Antibody (Catalog # F0102B).Detection of CEACAM‑6/CD66c in HEK293 Human Cell Line Transfected with Human CEACAM-6/CD66c and eGFP by Flow Cytometry.
HEK293 human embryonic kidney cell line transfected with (A) human CEACAM-6/CD66c or (B) irrelevant transfectants and eGFP was stained with Mouse Anti-Human CEACAM-6/CD66c Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB3934) followed by Allophycocyanin-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # F0101B). Quadrant markers were set based on control antibody staining (Catalog # MAB003).Detection of CEACAM-6/CD66c by Flow Cytometry
SSc serum induced CEACAM6 expression on classical monocytes. CD14+16- monocytes were isolated from a healthy donor and were treated with serum from HCs (n=7) and patients with systemic sclerosis (n=14) for 15 h. The proportion of CEACAM-positive classical monocytes from patients with SSc who provided serum was also analyzed. (A) Dot plots show the correlation between the proportion of CEACAM+ monocytes from a healthy donor treated with SSc serum and that from patients with SSc obtained at the same time as the serum. Statistical analysis was performed using Spearman’s rank correlation test. (B) The frequency of serum-induced CEACAM+CD14+16- monocytes was compared among HCs (n=7), inactive SSc (n=7), and active SSc (n=7). Each analysis was performed in duplicates. The left figure shows a histogram of CEACAM. (C, D) Data show the frequency of CEACAM1, 3, 5, and 6+ monocytes treated with serum from HCs or patients with dcSSc. Gating of CEACAM6+ monocytes is shown in (C) Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD). P values were calculated using an unpaired t-test. *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001.
