Previous studies with a rat neural cell line have shown that the D1.1 ganglioside, an O-acetylated derivative of GD3, is involved in cellular adhesion to fibronectin. In vivo, D1.1 is present on germinal cells of the developing rat central nervous system, but not on postmitotic cells that migrate away from the germinal zones. These observations suggest that D1.1 could participate in adhesive interactions with germinal zones and that the loss of D1.1 could be involved in the decision to being migration. In support of this hypothesis, immunofluorescence histochemistry shows that both fibronectin and fibronectin receptor are colocalized with D1.1 in the ventricular zones of the embryonic rat brain and in the external granule cell layer of the postnatal cerebellum. Dishes coated with monoclonal antibody against D1.1 were used to isolate D1.1-positive germinal cells from Embryonic Day 14 cerebrum and from Postnatal Day 6 cerebellum. These cells are able to adhere to fibronectin-coated dishes by a mechanism that is inhibitable by a synthetic hexapeptide containing the arg-gly-asp cell recognition sequence of fibronectin. Adhesion is also partially inhibited by antibody against fibronectin receptor and is slowed by anti-D1.1 antibody, implicating both the receptor and the ganglioside in the adhesion process. During 3 days in culture these D1.1-positive, fibronectin receptor-positive cells exhibit a neuronal phenotype, as judged by morphology and staining with tetanus toxin. This further confirms the neuroepithelial origin of the cells. The cells do not synthesize detectable amounts of fibronectin, thus leaving unidentified the source of the fibronectin seen in the germinal zones in tissue sections. Immunoprecipitation experiments show that the fibronectin receptors present on these cells are heterodimers. Under nonreducing conditions, the immunoprecipitates contain an alpha-subunit of 150-160 kDa and a beta-subunit of 115-125 kDa.  相似文献

NCTC 2071A cells, a line of transformed murine fibroblasts, grow in serum-free medium, are deficient in gangliosides, synthesize fibronectin, but do not retain and organize it on the cell surface. When the cells are exposed to exogenous gangliosides, fibrillar strands of fibronectin become attached to the cell surface. A morphologically distinct variant of NCTC 2071A cells was observed to both retain cell surface fibronectin and organize it into a fibrillar network when the cells were stained with anti-fibronectin antibodies and a fluorescent second antibody. A revertant cell type appeared to resemble the parental NCTC 2071A cells in terms of morphology and fibronectin organization. All three cell types were subjected to mild NaIO4 oxidation and reduction with KB3H4 of very high specific radioactivity in order to label the sialic acid residues of surface gangliosides. The variant had much more surface gangliosides than the parental, particularly more complex gangliosides corresponding to GM1 and GD1a. The surface gangliosides of the revertant were intermediate between the parental and the variant. By using sialidase, which hydrolyzes GD1a to GM1, and 125I-labeled cholera toxin, which binds specifically to GM1, the identity and levels of these gangliosides were confirmed in the three cell types. When variant cells were exposed to sialidase for 2 d, there appeared to be little change in fibronectin organization. Concomitant treatment of the cells with the B subunit of cholera toxin, which bound to all the surface GM1 including that generated by the sialidase, however, eliminated the fibrillar network of fibronectin. In addition, exposure of the variant cells to a 70,000-mol-wt fragment of fibronectin, which lacks the cell attachment domain but contains a matrix assembly domain, inhibited the formation of fibers. Finally, all three cell types were assayed for their ability to attach to and spread on fibronectin-coated surfaces; no significant differences were found. Our results further establish that the ability of a cell to organize fibronectin into an extracellular matrix is dependent on certain gangliosides, but they also indicate that cell adhesion to fibronectin is independent of these gangliosides. We suggest that matrix organization and cell attachment and spreading are based on separate mechanisms and that these functions are associated with different cell surface "receptors."  相似文献

Adhesion of eight cell lines, derived from human gliomas of different histological types, to fibronectin, collagen I, vitronectin, and laminin was investigated in vitro. The glioma cell lines were found to attach to these substrates to different extents. Interestingly, all cell lines strongly attached to laminin. In addition, glioma cell adhesion was found to be dose dependent. Moreover, adhesion of three cell lines to fibronectin and collagen I was partially inhibited and to vitronectin completely prevented by GRGDTP peptide, indicating the involvement of integrin receptors in glioma cell adhesion. We have demonstrated, recently, that gangliosides play an important role in promoting glioma cell invasion of the reconstituted basement membrane, Matrigel, in vitro. In order to study the mechanism of action of gangliosides in this process, the role of six gangliosides (GM1, GM3, GD3, GD1a, GD1b, and GT1b) in cell adhesion to the four proteins was investigated in three cell lines. Although all gangliosides, with the exception of GM3, were found to enhance cell adhesion to these proteins to different extents, GD3 proved to be the most effective adhesion-promoting ganglioside in all three cell lines. GM3 was found to inhibit cell adhesion to the four proteins in one cell line but enhanced cell adhesion in two other cell lines. The three cell lines were found to express both GD3 and gangliosides recognised by the A2B5 antibody. Furthermore, adhesion of the three cell lines to fibronectin, vitronectin, laminin, and collagen I was inhibited by incubation with A2B5, demonstrating the involvement of intrinsic cell membrane gangliosides in adhesion of glioma cells to these proteins. Taken together with the observation that gangliosides modulate integrin receptor function, these data suggest that gangliosides may play a central role in the control of the adhesive and invasive properties of human glioma cells.  相似文献

The major cell-surface glycoprotein fibronectin mediates a variety of cellular adhesive interactions that have been reported to be competitively inhibited by gangliosides. These effects suggest a possible function of gangliosides as receptors for fibronectin. To test this hypothesis more directly, we examined the interaction of endogenous fibronectin with a ganglioside-deficient cell line, NCTC 2071. These cells, which grow in serum-free medium, synthesized fibronectin. The fibronectin did not bind to these cells, but instead bound diffusely to the culture substratum. When the cells were cultured in medium containing ganglioside, the fibronectin became bound to the cell surface in fibrillar strands. The order of effectiveness of purified gangliosides was GT1b greater than GD1a greater than GM1 greater than GM2 greater than GM3. The effect with mixed gangliosides was accompanied by a restoration of cellular capacity to bind and to respond to cholera toxin. Treatment of the cells with several phospholipids did not alter fibronectin binding. Our results support the hypothesis that gangliosides can help mediate the binding of fibronectin to fibroblasts.  相似文献

Using monoclonal antibody technology and affinity chromatography we have identified four distinct classes of cell surface receptors for native collagen on a cultured human fibrosarcoma cell line, HT-1080. Two classes of monoclonal antibodies prepared against HT-1080 cells inhibited adhesion to extracellular matrix components. Class I antibodies inhibited cell adhesion to collagen, fibronectin, and laminin. These antibodies immunoprecipitated two noncovalently linked proteins (subunits) with molecular masses of 147 and 125 kD, termed alpha and beta, respectively. Class II antibodies inhibited cell adhesion to native collagen only and not fibronectin or laminin. Class II antibodies immunoprecipitated a single cell surface protein containing two noncovalently linked subunits with molecular masses of 145 and 125 kD, termed alpha and beta, respectively. The two classes of antibodies did not cross-react with the same cell surface protein and recognized epitopes present on the alpha subunits. Pulse-chase labeling studies with [35S]methionine indicated that neither class I nor II antigen was a metabolic precursor of the other. Comparison of the alpha and beta subunits of the class I and II antigens by peptide mapping indicated that the beta subunits were identical while the alpha subunits were distinct. In affinity chromatography experiments HT-1080 cells were extracted with Triton X-100 or octylglucoside detergents and chromatographed on insoluble fibronectin or native type I or VI collagens. A single membrane protein with the biochemical characteristics of the class I antigen was isolated on fibronectin-Sepharose and could be immunoprecipitated with the class I monoclonal antibody. The class I antigen also specifically bound to type I and VI collagens, consistent with the observation that the class I antibodies inhibit cell adhesion to types VI and I collagen and fibronectin. The class II antigen, however, did not bind to collagen (or fibronectin) even though class II monoclonal antibodies completely inhibited adhesion of HT-1080 cells to types I and III-VI collagen. The class I beta and II beta subunits were structurally related to the beta subunit of the fibronectin receptor described by others. However, none of these receptors shared the same alpha subunits. Additional membrane glycoprotein(s) with molecular mass ranges of 80-90 and 35-45 kD, termed the class III and IV receptors, respectively, bound to types I and VI collagen but not to fibronectin. Monoclonal antibodies prepared against the class III receptor had no consistent effect on cell attachment or spreading, suggesting that it is not directly involved in adhesion to collagen-coated substrates.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)  相似文献

Incubation of cells with selenite, under conditions in which there is no effect on cell viability, results in a decrease in the rate of their subsequent attachment to extracellular matrix proteins such as fibronectin (1). The attachment was inhibited by a pentapeptide containing the RGD sequence and by antibody against the cellular fibronectin receptor (α5β1 integrin), indicating that it is receptor-mediated. To investigate whether exposure to selenite has an effect on fibronectin receptors, we assayed for their presence on the cell surface by measuring the ability of cells to attach to a surface that had been coated with antibodies to the receptor. Brief exposure of cells to low concentrations of selenite resulted in a significant decrease in their ability to attach to monoclonal antibodies against the α5 or β1 subunits of the fibronectin receptor, as well as to polyclonal antibodies against the complete receptor. This indicates that exposure to selenite results in a decrease in receptors that are present at the cell surface. Exposure of the cells to selenate, selenocystine or selenomethionine did not result in a significant decrease in cell surface receptors. Preincubation of the cells with selenite was required for the effect, indicating that selenite does not directly interfere with receptor structure or function.  相似文献

The identification of specific cell surface glycoprotein receptors for Arg-Gly-Asp-containing extracellular matrix proteins such as fibronectin has focused attention on the role of gangliosides in this process. Is their involvement dependent or independent of the protein receptors? In attachment assays with cells from a human melanoma cell line, titration experiments with an antibody (Mel 3) with specificity for the disialogangliosides GD2 and GD3, used together with a synthetic peptide containing the cell binding sequence Arg-Gly-Asp, show that their joint effect is synergistic. Both the Mel 3 antibody and the synthetic peptide individually cause rapid detachment of melanoma cells from fibronectin substrate but, when used together, much smaller concentrations of both are required to achieve the same effect. The Mel 3 antibody was not nonspecifically reducing receptor binding to the Arg- Gly-Asp sequence since, in binding assays with radiolabeled peptide performed with cells in suspension, very little peptide is bound by the melanoma cells under these conditions but addition of Mel 3, an antibody of IgM isotype, causes a two- to threefold increase in specific binding. The simplest interpretation of these data is that the Mel 3 antibody is causing sufficient clustering of membrane gangliosides in local areas and producing a favorably charged environment to facilitate peptide binding by specific glycoprotein receptors.  相似文献

The disialogangliosides GD2 and GD3 play a major role in the ability of human melanoma cells to attach to Arg-Gly-Asp-containing substrates such as fibronectin and vitronectin, since pretreatment of these cells with monoclonal antibodies to the oligosaccharide of GD2 and GD3 can inhibit their attachment and spreading on such adhesive proteins. This report demonstrates that human melanoma cells (M21) synthesize and express a glycoprotein receptor that shares antigenic epitopes with the vitronectin receptor on human fibroblasts and is capable of specifically recognizing the Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser-Pro sequence. In the presence of calcium, GD2, the major ganglioside of M21 cells, colocalized with this receptor on the surface of human melanoma cells and their focal adhesion plaques as demonstrated by double-label transmission immunoelectron microscopy and indirect immunofluorescence. Biochemical evidence is presented indicating that the vitronectin receptor on M21 human melanoma cells contains associated calcium and GD2. This ganglioside copurified with the glycoprotein receptor for vitronectin on affinity columns containing either an Arg-Gly-Asp-containing peptide, concanavalin A, or lentil lectin. This major Arg-Gly-Asp-directed receptor on M21 cells could be metabolically labeled with 45Ca2+. Chelation of this ion with EDTA caused the dissociation of GD2 from the receptor and rendered the remaining glycoprotein incapable of binding to an Arg-Gly-Asp-containing peptide. Reconstitution experiments demonstrated a requirement for calcium, and not magnesium, for receptor binding to Arg-Gly-Asp and indicated that addition of ganglioside can enhance this interaction.  相似文献

Fibronectin is a major adhesive glycoprotein of the vascular basement membrane. Since fibronectin is also found in the interstitium, it may be important not only for attachment but also for endothelial cell migration during neovascularization. We have analyzed how human dermal microvascular endothelial cells use their diverse set of integrin receptors to interact with this ligand. Immunofluorescent staining with specific antibodies identified both beta 1 and beta 3 integrin receptor complexes in focal adhesion plaques on cells adhering to immobilized fibronectin. Adhesion assays with blocking monoclonal antibodies implicated both beta 1 and beta 3 complexes, specifically alpha 5 beta 1 and alpha v beta 3, in the initial adhesion of cells to fibronectin. Finally, ligand affinity chromatography of extracts of surface radiolabeled cells established that both alpha 5 beta 1 and alpha v beta 3 could bind to the 110-kDa cell-binding fragment of fibronectin. An additional receptor complex composed of an alpha v subunit and a beta 5-like subunit was also detected. These results provide evidence that microvascular endothelial cells use multiple integrin receptors, from several beta families, to attach to fibronectin surfaces.  相似文献

Tenascin mediates cell attachment through an RGD-dependent receptor   总被引:20,自引:14,他引:6       下载免费PDF全文
Tenascin is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein expressed in association with mesenchymal-epithelial interactions during development and in the neovasculature and stroma of undifferentiated tumors. This selective expression of tenascin indicates a specific role in cell matrix interactions. We now show that tenascin can support the adhesion of a variety of cell types, including various human tumor cells, normal fibroblasts, and endothelial cells, all of which can attach to a substrate coated with tenascin. Detailed studies on the mechanism of the tenascin-promoted cell attachment were carried out with the human glioma cell line U251MG. The attachment of these cells and others to tenascin were inhibited specifically by peptides containing the RGD cell attachment signal. Affinity chromatography procedures similar to those that have been used to isolate other adhesion receptors yielded a heterodimeric cell surface protein which bound to a tenascin affinity matrix in an RGD-dependent fashion. One of the subunits of this putative tenascin receptor comigrates with the beta subunit of the fibronectin receptor in SDS-PAGE and cross reacts with antibodies prepared against the fibronectin receptor in immunoblotting. These results identify the tenascin receptor as a member of the fibronectin receptor family within the integrin superfamily of receptors. The cell attachment response on tenascin is distinctly different from that seen on fibronectin, suggesting that cell adhesion and motility may be modulated at those sites where tenascin is expressed in the extracellular matrix.  相似文献

Human melanoma cells express relatively large amounts of the disialogangliosides GD3 and GD2 on their surface whereas neuroblastoma cells express GD2 as a major ganglioside. Monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) directed specifically to the carbohydrate moiety of GD3 and GD2 inhibit melanoma and neuroblastoma cell attachment to various substrate adhesive proteins, e.g. collagen, vitronectin, laminin, fibronectin, and a heptapeptide, glycyl-L-arginyl-glycyl-L-aspartyl-L-seryl-L-prolyl- L-cysteine, which constitutes the cell attachment site of fibronectin. Cells that are preattached to a fibronectin substrate can also be induced to detach and round up in the presence of purified anti- ganglioside Mab. Moreover, when melanoma cells that contain both GD2 and GD3 are incubated with Mabs directed to both of these molecules an additive inhibition is observed. The specificity of this inhibition is demonstrated since Mabs of various isotypes directed to either protein or carbohydrate epitopes on a number of other major melanoma or neuroblastoma cell surface antigens have no effect on cell attachment. A study of the kinetics involved in this inhibition indicates that significant effects occur during the first 5 min of cell attachment, suggesting an important role for GD2 and GD3 in the initial events of cell-substrate interactions. The role of gangliosides in cell attachment apparently does not directly involve a strong interaction with fibronectin since we could not observe any binding of radiolabeled fibronectin or fragments of the molecule known to contain the cell attachment site to melanoma gangliosides separated on thin-layer chromatograms. An alternative explanation would be that gangliosides may play a role in the electrostatic requirements for cell-substrate interactions. In this regard, controlled periodate oxidation of terminal, unsubstituted sialic acid residues on the cell surface not only specifically destroys the antigenic epitopes on GD2 and GD3 recognized by specific Mabs but also inhibits melanoma cell and neuroblastoma cell attachment. In fact, the periodate-induced ganglioside oxidation and the inhibition of cell attachment are equally dose dependent. These data suggest that cell-substratum interactions may depend in part on the electrostatic environment provided by terminal sialic acid residues of cell surface gangliosides and possibly other anionic glycoconjugates.  相似文献

We have identified monoclonal antibodies that inhibit human cell adhesion to collagen (P1H5), fibronectin (P1F8 or P1D6), and collagen and fibronectin (P1B5) that react with a family of structurally similar glycoproteins referred to as extracellular matrix receptors (ECMRs) II, VI, and I, respectively. Each member of this family contains a unique alpha subunit, recognized by the antibodies, and a common beta subunit, each of approximately 140 kD. We show here that ECMR VI is identical to the fibronectin receptor (FNR), very late antigen (VLA) 5, and platelet glycoproteins Ic-IIa and shall be referred to as FNR. Monoclonal antibodies to FNR inhibit lymphocyte, fibroblast, and platelet adhesion to fibronectin-coated surfaces. ECMRs I, II, and FNR were differentially expressed in platelets, resting or activated lymphocytes, and myeloid, epithelial, endothelial, and fibroblast cell populations, suggesting a functional role for the receptors in vascular emigration and selective tissue localization. Tissue staining of human fetal skin localized ECMRs I and II to the basal epidermis primarily, while monoclonal antibodies to the FNR stained both the dermis and epidermis. Experiments carried out to investigate the functional roles of these receptors in mediating cell adhesion to complex extracellular matrix (ECM) produced by cells in culture revealed that complete inhibition of cell adhesion to ECM required antibodies to both the FNR and ECMR II, the collagen adhesion receptor. These results show that multiple ECMRs function in combination to mediate cell adhesion to complex EMC templates and predicts that variation in ECM composition and ECMR expression may direct cell localization to specific tissue domains.  相似文献

We have previously shown that the extracellular matrix molecule tenascin-C inhibits fibronectin-mediated cell adhesion and neurite outgrowth by an interaction with a cellular RGD-independent receptor which interferes with the adhesion and neurite outgrowth promoting activities of the fibronectin receptor(s). Here we demonstrate that the inhibitory effect of tenascin-C on beta1integrin-dependent cell adhesion and neurite outgrowth is mediated by the interaction of the protein with membrane-associated disialogangliosides, which interferes with protein kinase C-related signaling pathways. First, in substratum mixtures with fibronectin, an RGD sequence-containing fragment of the molecule or synthetic peptide, tenascin-C inhibited cell adhesion and spreading by a disialoganglioside-dependent, sialidase-sensitive mechanism leading to an inhibition of protein kinase C. Second, the interaction of intact or trypsinized, i.e., cell surface glycoprotein- free, cells with immobilized tenascin-C was strongly inhibited by gangliosides or antibodies to gangliosides and tenascin-C. Third, preincubation of immobilized tenascin-C with soluble disialogangliosides resulted in a delayed cell detachment as a function of time. Similar to tenascin-C, immobilized antibody to GD2 (3F8) or sphingosine, a protein kinase C inhibitor, strongly inhibited RGD- dependent cell spreading. Finally, the degree of tenascin-C-induced inhibition of cell adhesion was proportional to the degree of disialoganglioside levels of expression by different cells suggesting the relevance of such mechanism in modulating integrin-mediated cell- matrix interactions during pattern formation or tumor progression.   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

Human melanoma cells (M21) actively attach and spread on a fibronectin substrate. Indirect immunofluorescence assays with specific monoclonal antibodies directed to the disialoganglioside GD2, the major ganglioside expressed on M21 melanoma cells, indicate that during the cell attachment process this molecule redistributes into microprocesses that make direct contact with the fibronectin substrate. Scanning and transmission immunoelectron microscopic studies with anti-GD2 monoclonal antibodies and immuno-gold staining demonstrate that GD2 preferentially localizes into substrate-associated microprocesses that emanate from the plasma membrane of the M21 cells. Staining with monoclonal antibodies directed to other melanoma surface antigens fails to demonstrate a similar distribution pattern on these cells. Direct evidence is provided that GD2 is involved in M21 cell attachment to fibronectin, since treatment of these cells with anti-GD2 monoclonal antibodies causes cell rounding and detachment from a fibronectin substrate. Moreover, scanning electron microscopy demonstrates that this loss of attachment of fibronectin is characterized by a perturbation of the cell attachment-promoting microprocesses that in the presence of these antibodies lose contact with the fibronectin substrate.  相似文献

The migration of B16LuF1 cells, B16-melanoma cells of lower metastatic potential to lung was enhanced through artificial basement membrane in presence of gangliosides of B16LuF1 cells as well as gangliosides of B16-melanoma cells of higher metastatic potential to lung, namely, B16LuF5 and B16LuF10 cells. The same concentration (50 microM) of gangliosides of B16LuF1, B16LuF5 and B16LuF10 cells gradually increased the migration of B16LuF1 cells through basement membrane. Moreover, B16LuF10 cell gangliosides modified the migratory effect of laminin and fibronectin on B16LuF1 cells. Laminin alone increased migration of B16LuF1 cells whereas fibronectin alone decreased migration of the same cells. When B16LuF10 cell gangliosides were used in combination with fibronectin, gangliosides removed the migration inhibitory effect of fibronectin resulting in net enhancing effect. Gangliosides in association with laminin also increased the enhancing effect of laminin on migration of B16LuF1 cells. Thus, gangliosides showed additive enhancing effect when used in combination with laminin. However, effect of individual gangliosides were different. Out of six gangliosides isolated from B16LuF10 cells only two gangliosides corresponding to standard gangliosides GM2 and GM3 enhanced migration of B16LuF1 cells. The migration of B16LuF1 cells in presence of each of the remaining four gangliosides corresponding to GT1b, GD1b, GD1a and GM1 was not altered and was comparable to that of untreated control. Thus, gangliosides of B16 melanoma cells alone or in combination with laminin or fibronectin enhanced migration of B16 melanoma cells through artificial basement membrane, suggesting possible role of tumor gangliosides during invasion of metastatic tumor cells through basement membrane of the surrounding tissues in vivo.  相似文献

Vascular endothelial cells synthesize an extracellular matrix or basal lamina composed of collagens, proteoglycans and glycoproteins such as fibronectin (FN). Using affinity-purified anti-FN, we have examined the role of FN in adherence of metastatic B16 melanoma cells to endothelial cell monolayers which lack FN on apical cell surfaces and to their basal lamina which contains FN. B16 melanoma cells, which do not contain significant amounts of FN, attached at much higher rates to endothelial basal lamina and polyvinyl-immobilized FN compared with intact endothelial cell monolayers. Anti-FN failed to inhibit attachment of melanoma sublines of low (B16-F1) or high (B16-F10) metastatic potential to intact endothelial cell monolayers, inhibited slightly B16 cell attachment to basal lamina and completely abolished attachment of B16 cells to polyvinyl-immobilized FN. The antibiotic tunicamycin which inhibits glycosylation of B16 cell surface glycoproteins and blocks experimental metastasis [18] inhibited B16 attachment to endothelial cells, basal lamina and immobilized FN. The results suggest that FN mediates, only in part, the adhesion of B16 melanoma cells to basal lamina through glycoprotein receptors on B16 cells.  相似文献

Previous studies suggest that the baby hamster kidney (BHK) cell fibronectin receptor is also a wheat germ agglutinin receptor (WGA-R). To analyze this possibility further, IgG and Fab fragments of antibodies produced against a BHK cell WGA-R preparation were tested to determine their effects on cell adhesion mediated by fibronectin, wheat germ agglutinin, concanavalin A, and polycationic ferritin. The WGA-R preparation was isolated by octylglucoside extraction of BHK cells followed by chromatography of the extract on WGA-agarose. The antibodies against the WGA-R preparation reacted primarily with polypeptides of molecular weights 48, 61, 83, 105, 120, 165, 210, and 230 kilodaltons (kdaltons). It was concluded that the antibodies interfered with BHK cell fibronectin receptors on the basis of the ability of anti-WGA-R IgG or Fab fragments to (a) inhibit cell spreading on fibronectin-coated substrata; (b) cause rounding and detachment of cells previously spread on fibronectin-coated substrata; and (c) inhibit binding of fibronectin-coated latex beads to the cells. Antibody activity was blocked by treatment of anti-WGA-R with the WGA-R preparation or by absorption of anti-WGA-R with intact BHK cells. The antibodies also appeared to prevent coupling of ligand-receptor complexes (involving concanavalin A or polycationic ferritin) with the cytoskeleton. Finally, cell rounding and detachment caused by the antibodies were found to require metabolic energy since it did not occur in the presence of azide or at 4 degrees C.  相似文献

We have studied the localization and function of a 140-kDa glycoprotein complex implicated in cell adhesion to fibronectin- and laminin-rich extracellular matrices in Pleurodeles waltlii gastrulae. In particular, we have shown that antibodies directed against highly purified avian fibronectin (FN) receptor complex cross-react with two major polypeptides of apparent molecular weights of 140,000 and 100,000 and a third minor component of 90,000. Using sections of embryos or whole mounts, we have also discovered that the putative FN receptor is widely distributed on the early embryonic cell surface. We have also found that the basal surface of the roof of the blastocoel, a region particularly enriched in an extracellular matrix consisting of fibronectin- and laminin-rich fibrils, is rich in receptor complex. We have prepared monovalent Fab' fragments of this antibody and have found that they cause detachment of cells previously attached to substrata coated with fibronectin, and they also arrest gastrulation when injected into the blastocoel of early gastrulae. Thus, it appears that the fibronectin receptor complex plays a significant functional role in cell attachment of gastrula-stage cells in vitro and in cell migration in vivo during gastrulation.  相似文献

Lymphoid precursor cells adhere to two different sites on fibronectin   总被引:20,自引:7,他引:13       下载免费PDF全文
Several precursor lymphoid cell lines, blocked at specific stages of differentiation, adhere specifically to fibronectin in vitro. Whereas the Ba F3 cell line, which has both immunoglobulin heavy- and light-chain genes in germline configuration, interacts with the arg-gly-asp-containing cell-binding domain of fibronectin, the B-committed line PD 31, which is undergoing rearrangement of immunoglobulin light-chain genes, does not. Accordingly the Ba F3, but not the putative PD 31 surface fibronectin receptor, binds to an affinity matrix containing the 115-kD cell-binding domain of fibronectin. PD 31 cells recognize a different domain of the fibronectin molecule, which is contained within the carboxy terminal segment possessing a high-affinity binding site for heparin. A polyclonal antibody raised against the fibronectin receptor of mouse erythroleukemic cells inhibits adhesion of these lymphoid lines to fibronectin. It precipitates two major species of 140 and 70 kD from surface-radioiodinated Ba F3 cells and species of 140 and 120 kD from PD 31 cells. We propose that the two types of cells express different fibronectin receptors mediating substrate adhesion, and suggest that receptor(s) with different specificity might be expressed in the course of B cell maturation. Because we show that these adhesion properties are shared by normal bone marrow lymphoid precursors, we infer that these receptors may play a role in normal lymphopoiesis.  相似文献
