Background: ICAM-4

ICAM-4 (intercellular adhesion molecule-4), also known as CD242, is a transmembrane cell adhesion glycoprotein and a member of the immunoglobulin protein superfamily. The ICAM sub-family consists of five members, ICAM-1 through ICAM-5, and they vary in their tissue expression and number of Ig-like domains in the extracellular domain (ECD) (1). Full-length human ICAM-4 contains 2 Ig-like domains in the ECD, a single transmembrane domain and short intracellular domain. Alternative splicing of ICAM-4 results in at least one soluble form (2). The ECD of mature human ICAM-4 shares 68% and 67% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat ICAM-4, respectively. ICAM-4 expression is limited to erythroid and possibly placental tissue but its biological role remains poorly defined (3). ICAM-4 has been shown to bind alpha 4 beta 1 and alpha V family integrins as well as displaying broad ligand binding specificity for some beta 1, beta 2, beta 3 and beta 5 integrins (4, 5). ICAM-4 binding to endothelial alpha v beta 3 has been indicated as a factor in vaso-occlusion, particularly in sickle cell disease (6). ICAM-4 is expressed on red blood cells (RBC), erythroid precursor cells, and possibly placental tissue (3, 7). ICAM-4 has shown to bind alpha 4 beta 1 on hemopoietic cells, alpha V family integrins (avb1, avb3, and avb5) on non-hemopoietic cells as well as displaying broad ligand binding specificity for some beta 1, beta 2, beta 3 and beta 5 integrins (4, 5, 7). Studies have shown aLb2 integrin interacts through the first Ig-like domain of ICAM-4, whereas aMb2 and aXb2 integrins interact through both Ig-like domains of ICAM-4 (7). In addition, initiation of vaso-occlusion in sickle cell disease is implicated by ICAM-4 binding to endothelial alpha v beta 3 integrin (6). The ability of ICAM-4 to interact selectively with different integrins suggests its importance in RBC physiology and pathology as well as its therapeutic value.
