Carcinoma cells express a novel integrin involved in cell adhesion to vitronectin, but not to fibrinogen or von Willebrand factor, whereas melanoma and endothelial cells express a vitronectin receptor (alpha v beta 3) that promotes cell attachment to all of these matrix components. The integrin responsible for this adhesive phenotype of carcinoma cells is composed of an alpha subunit that is indistinguishable from the alpha v of the vitronectin receptor and a beta subunit (beta x) that is distinct from any known integrin beta subunit. Accordingly, Northern blot analysis identifies an mRNA for alpha v, but not for beta 3 in carcinoma cells. This receptor appears to mediate cell adhesion to vitronectin as well as fibronectin since an antibody directed to its alpha subunit blocked carcinoma cell adhesion to both of these matrix proteins. These results suggest that homologous integrins with identical alpha subunits and structurally distinct beta subunits can account for the functional recognition of different matrixes by two cell types.  相似文献

Cell adhesion-dependent signaling implicates cytoplasmic proteins interacting with the intracellular tails of integrins. Among those, the integrin cytoplasmic domain-associated protein 1alpha (ICAP-1alpha) has been shown to interact specifically with the beta(1) integrin cytoplasmic domain. Although it is likely that this protein plays an important role in controlling cell adhesion and migration, little is known about its actual function. To search for potential ICAP-1alpha-binding proteins, we used a yeast two-hybrid screen and identified the human metastatic suppressor protein nm23-H2 as a new partner of ICAP-1alpha. This direct interaction was confirmed in vitro, using purified recombinant ICAP-1alpha and nm23-H2, and by co-immunoprecipitation from CHO cell lysates over-expressing ICAP-1alpha. The physiological relevance of this interaction is provided by confocal fluorescence microscopy, which shows that ICAP-1alpha and nm23-H2 are co-localized in lamellipodia during the early stages of cell spreading. These adhesion sites are enriched in occupied beta(1) integrins and precede the formation of focal adhesions devoid of ICAP-1alpha and nm23-H2, indicating the dynamic segregation of components of matrix adhesions. This peripheral staining of ICAP-1alpha and nm23-H2 is only observed in cells spreading on fibronectin and collagen and is absent in cells spreading on poly-l-lysine, vitronectin, or laminin. This is consistent with the fact that targeting of both ICAP-1alpha and nm23-H2 to the cell periphery is dependent on beta(1) integrin engagement rather than being a consequence of cell adhesion. This finding represents the first evidence that the tumor suppressor nm23-H2 could act on beta(1) integrin-mediated cell adhesion by interacting with one of the integrin partners, ICAP-1alpha.  相似文献

The integrins are a family of heterodimeric cell surface receptors for extracellular matrix molecules. An analysis of integrin subunits expressed by a number of cell lines identified a novel heterodimer. The alpha subunit of this integrin was immunologically and electrophoretically indistinguishable from the vitronectin receptor alpha subunit (alpha v) and the beta subunit was indistinguishable from beta 1. Affinity chromatography experiments and cell adhesion assays indicated that this receptor complex is a new fibronectin receptor. Its unexpected subunit composition demonstrates the importance of the beta subunit in determining the ligand specificity of integrins and suggests that the current integrin classification scheme needs revision.  相似文献

Integrins are a complex family of divalent cation-dependent cell adhesion receptors composed of one alpha and one beta subunit noncovalently bound to one another. A subset of integrins contains the alpha v subunit in association with one of several beta subunits (e.g. beta 3, beta 5, beta 1). We have recently identified a novel integrin beta subunit, beta 6, that is present in a number of epithelial cell lines. Using a polyclonal antibody raised against the carboxyl-terminal peptide of beta 6, we have now identified the integrin heterodimer, alpha v beta 6, on the surface of two human carcinoma cell lines. Using affinity chromatography of lysates from the pancreatic carcinoma cell line, FG-2, we demonstrate that alpha v beta 6 binds to fibronectin, but not to vitronectin or collagen I. In contrast, the alpha v beta 5 integrin, which is also expressed on FG-2 cells, binds exclusively to vitronectin. Immobilized collagen I does not interact with alpha v integrins, but binds beta 1-containing integrins. Both alpha v beta 6 and alpha v beta 5 are eluted from their respective immobilized ligands by a hexa-peptide containing the sequence Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD). RGD is highly effective in the presence of Ca2+, somewhat less effective in Mg2+, and virtually inactive in Mn2+. These results suggest that alpha v beta 6 functions as an RGD-dependent fibronectin receptor in FG-2 carcinoma cells. In agreement with this notion, cell adhesion assays show that FG-2 cell attachment to fibronectin is only partially inhibited by anti-beta 1 integrin antibodies, implying that other fibronectin receptors may be involved. Taken together with recent reports on the vitronectin receptor function of alpha v beta 5, our results suggest that the previously described carcinoma cell integrin, alpha v beta x (Cheresh, D. A., Smith, J. W., Cooper, H. M., and Quaranta, V. (1989) Cell 57, 59-69), is a mixture of at least two different receptors: alpha v beta 5, mediating adhesion to vitronectin, and alpha v beta 6, mediating adhesion to fibronectin.  相似文献

Interaction between integrin alphavbeta3 and extracellular matrix is crucial for endothelial cells sprouting from capillaries and for angiogenesis. Furthermore, integrin-mediated outside-in signals co-operate with growth factor receptors to promote cell proliferation and motility. To determine a potential regulation of angiogenic inducer receptors by the integrin system, we investigated the interaction between alphavbeta3 integrin and tyrosine kinase vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) in human endothelial cells. We report that tyrosine-phosphorylated VEGFR-2 co-immunoprecipitated with beta3 integrin subunit, but not with beta1 or beta5, from cells stimulated with VEGF-A165. VEGFR-2 phosphorylation and mitogenicity induced by VEGF-A165 were enhanced in cells plated on the alphavbeta3 ligand, vitronectin, compared with cells plated on the alpha5beta1 ligand, fibronectin or the alpha2beta1 ligand, collagen. BV4 anti-beta3 integrin mAb, which does not interfere with endothelial cell adhesion to vitronectin, reduced (i) the tyrosine phosphorylation of VEGFR-2; (ii) the activation of downstream transductor phosphoinositide 3-OH kinase; and (iii) biological effects triggered by VEGF-A165. These results indicate a new role for alphavbeta3 integrin in the activation of an in vitro angiogenic program in endothelial cells. Besides being the most important survival system for nascent vessels by regulating cell adhesion to matrix, alphavbeta3 integrin participates in the full activation of VEGFR-2 triggered by VEGF-A, which is an important angiogenic inducer in tumors, inflammation and tissue regeneration.  相似文献

Previous studies have shown that the adhesion protein, vitronectin, directs the localization of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) to areas of cell-substrate adhesion, where uPA is thought to regulate cell migration as well as pericellular proteolysis. In the present study, HT-1080 cell lines expressing either wild-type vitronectin or vitronectin containing a single amino-acid substitution in the integrin binding domain were used to assess whether ligation of the alphavbeta5 integrin was required for uPA localization to focal adhesions. The synthesis of wild-type vitronectin by HT-1080 cells adherent to either collagen or fibronectin resulted in the redistribution of both the alphavbeta5 integrin as well as uPA to focal adhesion structures. In contrast, cells synthesizing mutant vitronectin, containing the amino-acid substitution in the integrin binding domain, were unable to direct the redistribution of either alphavbeta5 or uPA to focal adhesions. Recombinant forms of wild-type and mutant vitronectin were prepared in a baculovirus system and compared for their ability to direct the redistribution of vitronectin integrin receptors as well as uPA on human skin fibroblasts. In the absence of vitronectin, fibroblast cells adherent to fibronectin assemble focal adhesions which contain the beta1 integrin but do not contain uPA. Addition of recombinant wild-type, but not mutant, vitronectin to fibroblasts adherent to fibronectin resulted in the redistribution of alphavbeta3, alphavbeta5, and uPA into focal adhesions. However, when cells were plated directly onto antibodies directed against either the alphavbeta3 or alphavbeta5 integrins, uPA was not localized on the cell surface. These data indicate that ligation of vitronectin integrin receptors is necessary but not sufficient for the localization of uPA to areas of cell matrix adhesion, and suggest that vitronectin may promote cell migration by recruiting vitronectin integrin receptors and components of the plasminogen activator system to areas of cell matrix contact.  相似文献

RGD peptides may only temporarily inhibit cell adhesion to fibronectin   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
J Yl?nne 《FEBS letters》1990,267(1):43-45
When human fibroblasts were cultured on fibronectin for 4 h in the presence of 0.5 mg/ml of the GRGDSP peptide derived from the fibronectin cell-binding site, they adhered and spread normally and organized talin and integrin alpha 5 and beta 1 subunits into focal adhesions. When the adherent cells were quantitated as a function of time, submaximal peptide concentrations were found to delay cell adhesion on fibronectin, but they had no effect on the maximum. When the cells were plated on vitronectin, however, even relatively low peptide concentrations lowered the maximal amount of cells adhering and abolished cell spreading. The results suggest a different mechanism for cell adhesion on fibronectin and vitronectin.  相似文献

Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) induction of keratinocyte attachment and migration on provisional and basement membrane proteins was examined. KGF-treated keratinocytes showed increased attachment to collagen types I and IV and fibronectin, but, not to laminin-1, vitronectin, or tenascin. This increase was time- and dose-dependent. Increase in attachment occurred with 2 10 microg/ml of ECM proteins. This KGF-stimulated cell attachment was beta1 integrin-dependent but was not associated with stimulation of the cell surface expression nor affinity (activity) of the collagen integrin receptor (alpha2beta1) nor the fibronectin integrin receptors (alpha5beta1 or alphav). At the basal layer of KGF-treated cells significant accumulation of beta1 integrins was found at the leading edges, and actin stress fibers colocalized with beta1. KGF also induced migratory phenotype and stimulated keratinocyte migration on both fibronectin and collagen types I and IV but not on laminin-1, vitronectin nor tenascin. The results suggest that in addition to its proliferation promoting activity. KGF is able to modulate keratinocyte adhesion and migration on collagen and fibronectin. Our data suggest that KGF induced integrin avidity (clustering), a signaling event, which is not dependent on the alteration of cell surface integrin numbers.  相似文献

The alpha(v)beta(3) integrin is essential for fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-induced angiogenesis in vivo. However, the role of this integrin in FGF-2-mediated cellular responses by cultured endothelial cells is largely unknown. Cyclic RGDfV (cRGDfV) peptide is widely used to inhibit the binding of alpha(v)beta(3) integrin to vitronectin. To investigate the role of this integrin in FGF-2-mediated cellular responses, we used immortalized murine brain capillary endothelial cells, denoted IBE cells. Because IBE cells proliferate and migrate in response to FGF-2-treatment, when cultured on fibronectin-coated surface, we first examined the inhibitory activity of this peptide on the binding of alpha(v)beta(3) integrin to fibronectin as well as vitronectin. Solid phase binding assay revealed that cRGDfV peptide strongly inhibited the binding of purified alpha(v)beta(3) integrin to vitonectin- and fibronectin-coated plastic surfaces at a concentration of 50 microM. cRGDfV peptide at 50 microM inhibited spreading as well as adhesion of IBE cells on vitronectin-coated plastic surface but not on fibronectin. On fibronectin-coated substrata, cRGDfV at 50 microM attenuated FGF-2-mediated chemotaxis, but not FGF-2-induced proliferation, of IBE cells. We have previously demonstrated that mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation within focal adhesions through c-Src activity was involved in FGF-2-induced chemotaxis of IBE cells. Treatment of cells with cRGDfV peptide was associated with reduced c-Src activity without tyrosine dephosphorylation. Immunofluorescent staining showed that cRGDfV inhibited redistribution of c-Src into focal adhesions. MAPK activation by FGF-2 within focal adhesions was also attenuated in the presence of cRGDfV peptide. Our results indicated that cRGDfV peptide inhibited redistribution of c-Src into focal adhesions, leading to impaired MAPK activation within focal adhesions and motility in FGF-2-treated endothelial cells.  相似文献

Using mAb technology (Wayner, E. A., W. G. Carter, R. Piotrowicz, and T. J. Kunicki. 1988. J. Cell Biol. 107:1881-1891), we have identified a new fibronectin receptor that is identical to the integrin receptor alpha 4 beta 1. mAbs P3E3, P4C2, and P4G9 recognized epitopes on the alpha 4 subunit and completely inhibited the adhesion of peripheral blood and cultured T lymphocytes to a 38-kD tryptic fragment of plasma fibronectin containing the carboxy-terminal Heparin II domain and part of the type III connecting segment (IIICS). The ligand in IIICS for alpha 4 beta 1 was the CS-1 region previously defined as an adhesion site for melanoma cells. The functionally defined mAbs to alpha 4 partially inhibited T lymphocyte adhesion to intact plasma fibronectin and had no effect on their attachment to an 80-kD tryptic fragment containing the RGD (arg-gly-asp) adhesion sequence. mAbs (P1D6 and P1F8) to the previously described fibronectin receptor, alpha 5 beta 1, completely inhibited T lymphocyte adhesion to the 80-kD fragment but had no effect on their attachment to the 38-kD fragment or to CS-1. Both alpha 4 beta 1 and alpha 5 beta 1 localized to focal adhesions when fibroblasts that express these receptors were grown on fibronectin-coated surfaces. These findings demonstrated a specific interaction of both receptors with fibronectin at focal contacts. In conclusion, these findings show clearly that cultured T lymphocytes use two independent receptors during attachment to fibronectin and that (a) alpha 5 beta 1 is the receptor for the RGD containing cell adhesion domain, and (b) alpha 4 beta 1 is the receptor for a carboxy-terminal cell adhesion region containing the Heparin II and IIICS domains. Furthermore, these data also show that T lymphocytes express a clear preference for a region of molecular heterogeneity in IIICS (CS-1) generated by alternative splicing of fibronectin pre-mRNA and that alpha 4 beta 1 is the receptor for this adhesion site.  相似文献

We investigated in a colon adenocarcinoma cell line, the exclusive role of extracellular matrix (ECM) components in the absence of soluble factors regarding the integrin clustering processes, and their implication in cell adhesion, spreading and organization of the actin cytoskeleton. Caco-2 cells were shown to express at the plasma membrane 11 integrins, some of which (e.g. alpha3beta1, alpha5beta1, alpha6beta1/beta4, alpha8beta1 and alpha(v)beta1/beta5/beta6) were identified for the first time in this cell line. Cell adhesion and spreading processes were governed essentially by lamellipodium, the regulation of which was shown to be induced by two types of integrin clustering processes mediated by ECM proteins alone. During these phenomena, alpha2beta1, alpha(v)beta6 and alpha6beta1 integrins, the Caco-2 cell specific receptors of type IV collagen, fibronectin and laminin, respectively, were clustered in small focal complexes (point contacts), whereas alpha(v)beta5, the vitronectin receptor in this cell line, was aggregated in focal adhesions. The two levels of integrin clustering induced only F-actin cortical web formation organized in thin radial and/or circular filaments. We conclude thus that ECM components per se through their action on integrin clustering are involved in cell adhesion, cortical actin cytoskeleton organization and cell spreading.  相似文献

We previously reported that mouse orthologue of puromycin insensitive leucyl-specific aminopeptidase (mPILSAP) played an important role in angiogenesis by regulating the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells (ECs) (Miyashita et al., 2002. Blood 99:3241-3249). Here, we examined the mechanism as to how mPILSAP regulates the migration of ECs. Cell adhesion through integrins plays a crucial role in cell migration, and ECs use at least type-1 collagen receptor integrin alpha2beta1, fibronectin receptor alpha5beta1, and vitronectin receptors alphavbeta3 and alphavbeta5. mPILSAP antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (AS-ODN) or leucinethiol (LT), a leucyl-aminopeptidase inhibitor, did not affect the attachment but did significantly inhibit the spreading of cells of the murine endothelial cell line MSS31 when they were plated on vitronectin-, fibronectin-, or type-1 collagen, although they did not affect the expression of integrin alpha2, alpha5, alphav, beta1, beta3, and beta5 subunits on the cell surface. AS-ODN and LT also inhibited the tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK when cells were plated on vitronectin, fibronectin, or type-1 collagen. This inhibition of cell spreading and of tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK could be negated by Mg(2+). These results suggest that mPILSAP is involved in the activation of endothelial integrins.  相似文献

The urokinase receptor (uPAR) is linked to cellular migration through its capacity to promote pericellular proteolysis, regulate integrin function, and mediate cell signaling in response to urokinase (uPA) binding. The mechanisms for these activities remain incompletely defined, although uPAR was recently identified as a cis-acting ligand for the beta2 integrin CD11b/CD18 (Mac-1). Here we show that a major beta1 integrin partner for uPAR/uPA signaling is alpha3. In uPAR-transfected 293 cells uPAR complexed (>90%) with alpha3beta1 and antibodies to alpha3 blocked uPAR-dependent vitronectin (Vn) adhesion. Soluble uPAR bound to recombinant alpha3beta1 in a uPA-dependent manner (K(d) < 20 nM) and binding was blocked by a 17-mer alpha3beta1 integrin peptide (alpha325) homologous to the CD11b uPAR-binding site. uPAR colocalized with alpha3beta1 in MDA-MB-231 cells and uPA (1 nM) enhanced spreading and focal adhesion kinase phosphorylation on fibronectin (Fn) or collagen type I (Col) in a pertussis toxin- and alpha325-sensitive manner. A critical role of alpha3beta1 in uPA signaling was verified by studies of epithelial cells from alpha3-deficient mice. Thus, uPAR preferentially complexes with alpha3beta1, promoting direct (Vn) and indirect (Fn, Col) pathways of cell adhesion, the latter a heterotrimeric G protein-dependent mechanism of signaling between alpha3beta1 and other beta1 integrins.  相似文献

Recent studies indicate that angiogenesis depends, in part, on ligation of integrin alpha(5)beta(1) by fibronectin. Evidence is now provided that integrin alpha(5)beta(1) regulates the function of integrin alpha(v)beta(3) on endothelial cells during their migration in vitro or angiogenesis in vivo. Secretion of fibronectin by endothelial cells leads to the ligation of integrin alpha(5)beta(1), which potentiates alpha(v)beta(3)-mediated migration on vitronectin without influencing alpha(v)beta(3)-mediated cell adhesion. Endothelial cell attachment to vitronectin suppresses protein kinase A (PKA) activity, while addition of soluble anti-alpha(5)beta(1) restores this activity. Moreover, agents that activate intracellular PKA, such as forskolin, dibutyryl cAMP or alpha(5)beta(1) antagonists, suppress endothelial cell migration on vitronectin in vitro or angiogenesis in vivo. In contrast, inhibitors of PKA reverse the anti-migratory or anti-angiogenic effects mediated by alpha(5)beta(1) antagonists. Therefore, alpha(v)beta(3)-mediated endothelial cell migration and angiogenesis can be regulated by PKA activity, which depends on the ligation state of integrin alpha(5)beta(1).  相似文献

We describe a novel integrin heterodimer on the surface of the human embryonic kidney cell line 293. This receptor is comprised of alpha v and beta 1 subunits, each of which has been previously found in association with other integrin subunits. This alpha v.beta 1 complex was identified as the predominant vitronectin receptor (VnR) on the surface of 293 cells by immunoprecipitation with antibodies raised against the alpha v subunit. Polymerase chain reaction analysis detected mRNAs for alpha v and beta 1 subunits while no evidence was obtained for beta 2, beta 3, or alpha IIb integrin subunit mRNA. Immunoprecipitation of surface-iodinated proteins with antibodies to alpha v gave bands of 150 and 120 kDa. The 120-kDa band reacted with antibodies to beta 1 in immunoblotting experiments. 293 cells adhere to vitronectin, fibronectin, laminin, and collagen IV, while von Willebrand factor and fibrinogen, known ligands of the VnR (alpha v.beta 3), did not support adhesion. A polyclonal antibody directed against both subunits of the VnR (alpha v, beta 3) inhibits attachment of 293 cells to vitronectin but not to other adhesive proteins. A beta 1-specific monoclonal inhibited attachment to fibronectin, laminin, and collagen IV, known ligands of beta 1 integrins, as well as vitronectin. This novel (alpha v. beta 1) VnR thus appears to mediate cell adhesion exclusively to vitronectin, in contrast to previously described VnRs which have multiple ligands.  相似文献

Co-signaling events between integrins and cell surface proteoglycans play a critical role in the organization of the cytoskeleton and adhesion forces of cells. These processes, which appear to be responsible for maintaining intraocular pressure in the human eye, involve a novel cooperative co-signaling pathway between alpha5beta1 and alpha4beta1 integrins and are independent of heparan sulfate proteoglycans. Human trabecular meshwork cells isolated from the eye were plated on type III 7-10 repeats of fibronectin (alpha5beta1 ligand) in the absence or presence of the heparin (Hep) II domain of fibronectin. In the absence of the Hep II domain, cells had a bipolar morphology with few focal adhesions and stress fibers. The addition of the Hep II domain increased cell spreading and the numbers of focal adhesions and stress fibers. Cell spreading and stress fiber formation were not mediated by heparan sulfate proteoglycans because treatment with chlorate, heparinase, or soluble heparin did not prevent Hep II domain-mediated cell spreading. Cell spreading and stress fiber formation were mediated by alpha4beta1 integrin because soluble anti-alpha4 integrin antibodies inhibited Hep II domain-mediated cell spreading and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (alpha4beta1 ligand)-induced cell spreading. This is the first demonstration of the Hep II domain mediating cell spreading and stress fiber formation through alpha4beta1 integrin. This novel pathway demonstrates a cooperative, rather than antagonistic, role between alpha5beta1 and alpha4beta1 integrins and suggests that interactions between the Hep II domain and alpha4beta1 integrin could modulate the strength of cytoskeleton-mediated processes in the trabecular meshwork of the human eye.  相似文献

Plasmin is a major extracellular protease that elicits intracellular signals to mediate platelet aggregation, chemotaxis of peripheral blood monocytes, and release of arachidonate and leukotriene from several cell types in a G protein-dependent manner. Angiostatin, a fragment of plasmin(ogen), is a ligand and an antagonist for integrin alpha(9)beta(1). Here we report that plasmin specifically interacts with alpha(9)beta(1) and that plasmin induces of cells expressing migration recombinant alpha(9)beta(1) (alpha(9)-Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells). Migration was dependent on an interaction of the kringle domains of plasmin with alpha(9)beta(1) as well as the catalytic activity of plasmin. Angiostatin, representing the kringle domains of plasmin, alone did not induce the migration of alpha(9)-CHO cells, but simultaneous activation of the G protein-coupled protease-activated receptor (PAR)-1 with an agonist peptide induced the migration on angiostatin, whereas PAR-2 or PAR-4 agonist peptides were without effect. Furthermore, a small chemical inhibitor of PAR-1 (RWJ 58259) and a palmitoylated PAR-1-blocking peptide inhibited plasmin-induced migration of alpha(9)-CHO cells. These results suggest that plasmin induces migration by kringle-mediated binding to alpha(9)beta(1) and simultaneous proteolytic activation of PAR-1.  相似文献

The vitronectin receptor (alpha v beta 3) is a member of the integrin superfamily of adhesive protein receptors that mediate a wide spectrum of adhesive cellular interactions, including attachment to vitronectin, von Willebrand factor, fibrinogen, and thrombospondin. We have studied the binding of fibronectin to the purified vitronectin receptor, and the role of this receptor in the attachment of cells to fibronectin. A solid-phase microtiter assay was developed to investigate the binding properties of the vitronectin receptor. Purified alpha v beta 3 bound fibronectin with high affinity in a saturable, divalent cation- dependent manner. Binding was inhibited by soluble vitronectin, by RGD- containing peptides, and by LM609, a monoclonal antibody against the vitronectin receptor known to inhibit the binding of adhesive proteins to alpha v beta 3. Immunoinhibition experiments showed that M21 human melanoma cells, which express the fibronectin receptor, alpha 5 beta 1, as well as alpha v beta 3, used both of these integrins to attach and spread on fibronectin. In support of this finding, M21-L cells, a variant cell line that specifically lacks alpha v beta 3 but expresses alpha v beta 1, attached and spread poorly on fibronectin. In addition, alpha v beta 3 from surface-labeled M21 cells was retained, and selectively eluted by RGDS from a fibronectin affinity column. These results indicate that alpha v beta 3 acts in concert with alpha 5 beta 1 in promoting fibronectin recognition by these cells. We conclude that fibronectin binds to the alpha v beta 3 vitronectin receptor specifically and with high affinity, and that this interaction is biologically relevant in supporting cell adhesion to matrix proteins.  相似文献

Integrin Cytoplasmic domain-Associated Protein-1 (ICAP-1) binds specifically to the beta1 integrin subunit cytoplasmic domain. We observed that RNAi-induced knockdown of ICAP-1 reduced migration of C2C12 myoblasts on the beta1 integrin ligand laminin and that overexpression of ICAP-1 increased this migration. In contrast, migration on the beta3 integrin ligand vitronectin was not affected. ICAP-1 knockdown also greatly diminished migration of microvascular endothelial cells on collagen. The number of central focal adhesions in C2C12 cells on laminin was reduced by ICAP-1 knockdown and increased by ICAP-1 overexpression. Previously, we demonstrated that ICAP-1 binds to the ROCK-I kinase and translocates ROCK-I to the plasma membrane. We show here that the ROCK kinase inhibitor Y27362 reduces migration on laminin and causes a loss of central focal adhesions, similarly as ICAP-1 knockdown. ICAP-1 and ROCK were co-immune-precipitated from C2C12 cells, and in cells that overexpressed ICAP-1, YFP-ROCK was translocated to membrane ruffles. These results indicate that ICAP-1 regulates beta1 integrin-dependent cell migration by affecting the pattern of focal adhesion formation. This is likely due to ICAP-1-induced translocation of ROCK to beta1 integrin attachment sites.  相似文献
