Biological Activity of Soluble CD100. II. Soluble CD100, Similarly to H-SemaIII, Inhibits Immune Cell Migration1 2

CD100 is a human 150-kDa homodimer expressed at the surface of most hemopoietic cells, and its gene belongs to the Ig and semaphorin gene families. Semaphorin genes encode soluble and membrane-bound proteins, most of which have been shown to act as chemorepellents on growth cone guidance. CD100 is discrete, as it is a transmembrane leukocyte surface molecule that can also exist in a soluble form. While our previous studies using mAbs suggested that the transmembrane form of CD100 plays a role in lymphocyte activation, no function was shown for its soluble form. Here, we investigated the effect of soluble CD100 in a cell migration assay; both CD100 spontaneously shed from a stable transfectant and soluble recombinant CD100 inhibited spontaneous and chemokine-induced migration of human monocytes. Interestingly, only the dimeric form of CD100 exerted an effect. Moreover, soluble CD100 inhibited migration of cells from monocytic and B cell lineages. A similar inhibitory effect on migration was observed with H-SemaIII, but not H-SemaIV, semaphorins. In addition, both CD100 and H-SemaIII were recognized by two CD100 mAbs in an ELISA, and one of these mAb abolished the inhibitory effect of each of these semaphorins. We also provide evidence that CD100 and H-SemaIII act through the same receptor on immune cells, which is not neuropilin-1. Furthermore, we describe a function on immune cells for H-SemaIII, a semaphorin to date only studied in the nervous system.
