为了探讨机械拉伸应变对人肺上皮细胞表面整联蛋白α3 、α5和β1分布的调控作用,建立了体外周期性拉伸应变装置,并应用胞外基质蛋白——纤连蛋白(Fn)、胶原蛋白Ⅳ(Col Ⅳ)裱衬基底膜,激光共聚焦显微镜分析了在应变为15%,频率为40次/min的拉伸刺激下,正常人肺上皮细胞H727表面α3、α5和β1整联蛋白的再分布.结果表明:在人肺上皮细胞H727中,α3、α5和β1整联蛋白是对拉伸应变敏感的膜受体,周期性拉伸刺激可诱导其激活,使之发生分布的重组,并向基底层转移,形成局部粘附连接,增强了整联蛋白受体与其特异性配体的结合能力.结果提示:一个有效的局部粘附连接的形成是受体聚集和配体占据共同启动的一个协调反应,该反应可能参与了细胞响应机械应力的起始过程,可能进一步通过力-化学信号的耦合或张力整合的形式,最终对细胞的生物学行为产生影响. 相似文献

We investigated whether replicative senescence of endothelial cells contributed to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). HUVECs at a population-doubling level of 30 (PDL30) divided much more slowly than those at PDL9. The percentage of SA-β-Gal-positive cells and the mRNA expression levels of PAI-1 and p21 at PDL30 were significantly higher than those at PDL9. The changes induced by aging were evaluated according to the mRNA expression level of genes related to the endothelial cell function. The expression level of many adhesion molecules promoting monocytic adhesion was significantly increased, and monocytic adhesion on HUVECs was found to be significantly promoted by aging. Monocytic adhesion is an essential early event in the development of atherosclerosis, and our results suggest that replicative senescence of the vascular endothelial cells induced increased expression of adhesion molecules. The consequent increase in monocytic adhesion may then promote the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. 相似文献

Tie-1 is an endothelial specific receptor tyrosine kinase that is upregulated in diseases such as atherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. We recently demonstrated that Tie-1 induced a proinflammatory response when overexpressed in endothelial cells. Here, we used a complementary approach and suppressed endogenous Tie-1 expression in endothelial cells to examine its function by microarray analysis. Tie-1 appeared to govern expression of many genes involved in inflammation. Expression knockdown of Tie-1 significantly reduced endothelial conditioned medium ability to stimulate MCP-1 production in U937 cells. Collectively, our results support the notion that Tie-1 has an inflammatory function in endothelial cells. 相似文献

As cells adhere to extracellular matrix proteins, several focal adhesion proteins become tyrosine phosphorylated. One of the most prominent of these has been identified as the tyrosine kinase p125FAK (focal adhesion kinase, FAK). An interaction between FAK and members of the Src family tyrosine kinases p59fyn, pp60v-src, and activated pp60c-src (527F) has been demonstrated, raising the possibility that these kinases may regulate FAK activity. To explore the role of Src family kinases in focal adhesions and in the regulation of FAK activity, we isolated fibroblasts from transgenic mice that lack either pp60c-src p59fyn, or pp62c-yes. These primary fibroblasts, and those of a control mouse, were passaged numerous times and resulted in spontaneously immortalized cell lines without the addition of transforming agents. After confirming the absence of the appropriate nonreceptor tyrosine kinases in the fyc¯, srn¯ and yes¯ fibroblasts, the ability of these fibroblasts to form focal adhesions and stress fibers was assessed by immunofluorescence microscopy and found to be comparable to that of normal fibroblasts. We investigated phosphotyrosine levels in response to adhesion to fibronectin and identified the pp60src substrate p130 as the one major protein with reduced levels of tyrosine phosphorylation in the cells lacking p59fyn and pp62c-yes, and particularly in those lacking pp60c-scr. We examined FAK phosphorylation and kinase activity and found that there were no significant differences between these cells. 相似文献

Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is critical for collagen expression but its regulation of collagen remodeling is not defined. We examined the role of FAK in the degradation and reorganization of fibrillar collagen. Compared with wild-type (WT) mouse embryonic fibroblasts, FAK null (FAK−/−) fibroblasts generated twofold (p < .0001) higher levels of ¾ collagen I fragment and expressed up to fivefold more membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase (MMP). When plated on stiff collagen substrates, compared with WT, FAK−/− cells were smaller (threefold reduced cell surface area; p < .0001) and produced fivefold fewer cell extensions (p < .0001) that were 40% shorter (p < .001). When cultured on soft collagen gels (stiffness of ~100 Pa) for 6–48 hr, cell spreading and cell extension formation were reduced by greater than twofold (p < .05 and p < .0001, respectively) while collagen compaction and alignment were reduced by approximately 30% (p < .0001) in FAK−/− cells. Similar results were found after treatment with PF573228, a FAK inhibitor. Reconstitution of FAK−/− cells with FAK mutants showed that compared with WT, cell extension formation was reduced twofold (p < .0001) in the absence of the kinase domain and sixfold (p < .0001) with a Y397F mutant. Enhanced collagen degradation was exhibited by the mutants (~threefold increase; p < .0001 of ¾ collagen fragments without kinase domain or Y397F mutant; p < .01). Compared with FAK+/+ cells, matrices produced by FAK−/− cells generated higher levels of β1 integrin activation (p < 0.05), extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation, and production of ¾ collagen I fragment by human gingival fibroblasts. Collectively these data indicate that (a) the kinase activity of FAK enhances collagen remodeling by tractional forces but inhibits collagen degradation by MMPs; (b) FAK influences the biological activity of fibroblast-secreted extracellular matrices, which in turn impacts β1 integrin and ERK signaling, and collagen degradation. 相似文献

PEAR1 is highly expressed at bovine MDSC differentiation. However, its biological function remains unclear. Western blotting results showed that PEAR1 increased between day 0 and day 2 of cell differentiation and decreased from day 3. Moreover, scratch test showed that wound healing rate increased after PEAR1 overexpression and decreased upon its suppression. Meanwhile, we found that, upon PEAR1 induction, both the expression of the focal adhesion-associated and MyoG, and the myotube fusion rate increased. However, when PEAR1 was suppressed, opposite results were obtained. Immunoprecipitation revealed an association between PEAR1 and ITGB1. Notably, inhibition of FAK and ITGB1 repressed cell differentiation. In conclusion, our study indicated that PEAR1 is involved in the regulation of bovine MDSC migration and differentiation. 相似文献

The physiology of vascular cells depends on stimulating mechanical forces caused by pulsatile flow. Thus, mechano-transduction processes and responses of primary human endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) have been studied to reveal cell-type specific differences which may contribute to vascular tissue integrity. Here, we investigate the dynamic reorientation response of ECs and SMCs cultured on elastic membranes over a range of stretch frequencies from 0.01 to 1 Hz. ECs and SMCs show different cell shape adaptation responses (reorientation) dependent on the frequency. ECs reveal a specific threshold frequency (0.01 Hz) below which no responses is detectable while the threshold frequency for SMCs could not be determined and is speculated to be above 1 Hz. Interestingly, the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton and focal adhesions system, as well as changes in the focal adhesion area, can be observed for both cell types and is dependent on the frequency. RhoA and Rac1 activities are increased for ECs but not for SMCs upon application of a uniaxial cyclic tensile strain. Analysis of membrane protrusions revealed that the spatial protrusion activity of ECs and SMCs is independent of the application of a uniaxial cyclic tensile strain of 1 Hz while the total number of protrusions is increased for ECs only. Our study indicates differences in the reorientation response and the reaction times of the two cell types in dependence of the stretching frequency, with matching data for actin cytoskeleton, focal adhesion realignment, RhoA/Rac1 activities, and membrane protrusion activity. These are promising results which may allow cell-type specific activation of vascular cells by frequency-selective mechanical stretching. This specific activation of different vascular cell types might be helpful in improving strategies in regenerative medicine. 相似文献

We previously reported that cleaved high molecular weight kininogen (HKa) and its domain 5 (D5) inhibit critical steps required for angiogenesis and in vivo neovascularization (Colman et al. 2000: Blood 95:543-550). We have further shown that D5 is able to induce apoptosis of endothelial cells, which may represent a critical part of the anti-angiogenic activity of HKa and D5 (Guo et al. 2001: Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol 21:1427-1433). In this study, we demonstrate that HKa- and D5-induced apoptosis is closely correlated with their anti-adhesive effect. An important new finding is that the apoptotic activity of HKa and D5 is highly regulated by their interactions with different extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. HKa inhibited cell adhesion to vitronectin (Vn, 90%) and gelatin (Gel) (40%), but it had no apparent effect on cell adhesion to fibronectin (Fn). D5 showed a similar pattern on cell adhesion but was less potent than HKa. HKa induced apoptosis of endothelial cells grown on Vn and Gel but not cells grown on Fn which closely parallels with its anti-adhesive potency. Further results revealed that the anti-adhesive effect and the apoptotic effect of HKa are associated with its ability to inhibit phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and paxillin, two important signal molecules required for cell adhesion and cell viability. We conclude that the anti-adhesive activity of HKa and D5 is responsible for their apoptotic effect and that Vn is likely an ECM component that mediates the effect of HKa and D5. 相似文献

Cell migration requires the coordination of adhesion site assembly and turnover. Canonical models for nascent adhesion formation postulate that integrin binding to extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins results in the rapid recruitment of cytoskeletal proteins such as talin and paxillin to integrin cytoplasmic domains. It is thought that integrin-talin clusters recruit and activate tyrosine kinases such as focal adhesion kinase (FAK). However, the molecular connections of this linkage remain unresolved. Our recent findings support an alternative model whereby FAK recruits talin to new sites of β1 integrin-mediated adhesion in mouse embryonic fibroblasts and human ovarian carcinoma cells. This is dependent on a direct binding interaction between FAK and talin and occurs independently of direct talin binding to β1 integrin. Herein, we discuss differences between nascent and mature adhesions, interactions between FAK, talin and paxillin, possible mechanisms of FAK activation and how this FAK-talin complex may function to promote cell motility through increased adhesion turnover. 相似文献

Activation of the Ras-MAPK signal transduction pathway is necessary for biological responses both to growth factors and ECM. Here, we provide evidence that phosphorylation of S298 of MAPK kinase 1 (MEK1) by p21-activated kinase (PAK) is a site of convergence for integrin and growth factor signaling. We find that adhesion to fibronectin induces PAK1-dependent phosphorylation of MEK1 on S298 and that this phosphorylation is necessary for efficient activation of MEK1 and subsequent MAPK activation. The rapid and efficient activation of MEK and phosphorylation on S298 induced by cell adhesion to fibronectin is influenced by FAK and Src signaling and is paralleled by localization of phospho-S298 MEK1 and phospho-MAPK staining in peripheral membrane-proximal adhesion structures. We propose that FAK/Src-dependent, PAK1-mediated phosphorylation of MEK1 on S298 is central to the organization and localization of active Raf-MEK1-MAPK signaling complexes, and that formation of such complexes contributes to the adhesion dependence of growth factor signaling to MAPK. 相似文献

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) induce cartilage differentiation and morphogenesis. There are profound changes in the cytoskeletal architecture during the morphogenesis of cartilage. To investigate the possibility that morphogenetic signals such as BMPs may regulate chondrocyte phenotype by modulation of cytoskeletal protein expression, we determined whether the expression and distribution of cytoskeletal proteins in chondrocytes are regulated by bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP 7), interleukin 1 (IL-1), and cellular context. Addition of BMP 7, a morphogen that induces chondrogenesis, to primary cultures of bovine and murine chondrocytes induced increased expression of four cytoskeletal proteins: tensin, talin, paxillin, and focal adhesion kinase (FAK). The expression of cytoskeletal proteins is dependent on cellular context; compared to monolayer, chondrocytes in suspension exhibited increased expression of cytoskeletal components. Conversely, addition of IL-1, a catabolic cytokine, induced loss of chondrocyte phenotype and decreased the expression of these cytoskeletal components. Treatment of chondrocytes with cytochalasin D (an agent that disrupts the actin cytoskeleton) inhibited BMP 7-induced upregulation of tensin, talin, paxillin, and FAK, and blocked the effect of BMP 7 on chondrocyte phenotype. Taken together these data demonstrate that cytoskeletal components play a critical role in the response to morphogens and cytokines in the regulation of chondrocyte phenotype.

Basing on the natural affinity of skin keratinocytes toward extracellular matrix proteins, we have attempted to dissect the population of these cells by varying the time of their adhesion to substrates from fibronectin and collagen of types I and IV. After selection for 10, 20, and 30 min, the keratinocytes were cultivated for 24 h under standard conditions. The area of cell projection on the substrate and the spreading coefficient were measured. Statistically significant morphological differences between cells selected on different substrates were found. The size of cells growing on type-I collagen was twice as large as that of the cells cultivated on collagen type-IV or on fibronectin. Independent of the substratum, up to 60–65% of the cells had a round shape. Keratinocytes cultivated on collagens revealed heterogeneity both in the control and after selection in their adhesion times, while the cells grown on fibronectin behaved as a homogeneous population. These results suggest that, contrary to fibronectin, collagens stabilize some physiological states of keratinocytes corresponding to their interactions with extracellular matrix proteins in the organism.

Endothelial cells (ECs) line the inside of arterial and venous blood vessels in a continuous monolayer and have the important function of responding to environmental cues to regulate vascular tone and new blood vessel formation. They also have well-defined roles in supporting tumorigenesis, and alterations in their function lead to cardiovascular disease. Consequently, ECs have been studied extensively as a cellular model of both normal and abnormal physiology. Despite their importance and the increased utility of proteomic tools in medical research, there are relatively few publications on the topic of vascular endothelial proteomics. A thorough search of the literature mined 52 publications focused exclusively on arterial and/or venous endothelial proteomics. These studies mostly relied upon examination of whole-cell lysates from cultured human umbilical vein ECs to investigate in vitro effects of various molecules, such as VEGF in the context of altering human umbilical vein EC functions related to angiogenesis. Only a few of these publications focused solely on a proteomic characterization of ECs and our analysis further revealed a lack of published studies incorporating proteomic analysis of freshly isolated ECs from tissues or in vitro conditions that mimic in vivo variables, such as oxygen tension and shear stress. It is the purpose of this article to account for the diversity of vascular EC proteomic investigations and comment on the issues that have been and should be addressed in future work. 相似文献

Integrins are transmembrane proteins linking the extracellular matrix or certain cell–cell contacts to the cytoskeleton. To study integrin–cytoskeleton interactions we wanted to relate talin–integrin interaction to integrin function in cell spreading and formation of focal adhesions. For talin-binding studies we used fusion proteins of glutathione S-transferase and the cytoplasmic domain of integrin β1 (GST-cytoβ1) expressed in bacteria. For functional studies chimeric integrins containing the extracellular and transmembrane parts of β3 linked to the cytoplasmic domain of β1 were expressed in CHO cells as a dimer with the αIIb subunit. Point mutations in the amino acid sequence N785PIY788 of β1 disrupted both the integrin–talin interaction and the ability of the integrin to mediate cell spreading. COOH-terminal truncation of β1 at the amino acid position 797 disrupted its ability to mediate cell spreading, whereas the disruption of talin binding required deletion of five more amino acids (truncation at position 792). A synthetic peptide from this region of β1 (W780DTGENPIYKSAV792) bound to purified talin and inhibited talin binding to GST-cytoβ1. The ability of the mutants to mediate focal adhesion formation or to codistribute to focal adhesions formed by other integrins correlated with their ability to mediate cell spreading. These results confirm the previous finding that a talin-binding site in the integrin β1 tail resides at or close to the central NPXY motif and suggest that the integrin–talin interaction is necessary but not sufficient for integrin-mediated cell spreading. 相似文献
