Enhanced expression of both integrin alpha v beta 3 and platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFr) has been described in glioblastoma tumors. We therefore explored the possibility that integrin alpha v beta 3 cooperates with PDGFr to promote cell migration in glioblastoma cells, and extended the study to identify the Src family members that are activated on PDGF stimulation. Glioblastoma cells utilize integrins alpha v beta 3 and alpha v beta 5 to mediate vitronectin attachment. We found that physiologic PDGF stimulation (83 pm, 10 min) of vitronectin-adherent cells promoted the specific recruitment of integrin alpha v beta 3-containing focal adhesions to the cell cortex and alpha v beta 3-mediated cell motility. Analysis of PDGFr immunoprecipitates indicated an association of the PDGFr beta with integrin alpha v beta 3, but not integrin alpha v beta 5. Cells plated onto collagen or laminin, which engage different integrins, exhibited significantly less migration on PDGF stimulation, indicating a cooperation of alpha v beta 3 and the PDGFr beta in glioblastoma cells that promotes migration. Further analysis of the cells plated onto vitronectin indicated that PDGF stimulation caused an increase in Src kinase activity, which was associated with integrin alpha v beta 3. In the vitronectin-adherent cells, Lyn was associated preferentially with alpha v beta 3 both in the presence and absence of PDGF stimulation. In contrast, Fyn was associated with both alpha v beta 3 and alpha v beta 5. Moreover, PDGF stimulation increased the activity of Lyn, but not Fyn, in vitronectin-adherent cells, and the activity of Fyn, but not Lyn, in laminin-adherent cells. Using cells attached to mAb anti-alpha v beta 3 or mAb anti-integrin alpha 6, we confirmed the activation of specific members of the Src kinase family with PDGF stimulation. Down-regulation of Lyn expression by siRNA significantly inhibited the cell migration mediated by integrin alpha v beta 3 in PDGF-stimulated cells, demonstrating the PDGFr beta cooperates with integrin alpha v beta 3 in promoting the motility of vitronectin-adherent glioblastoma cells through a Lyn kinase-mediated pathway. Notably, the data indicate that engagement of different integrins alters the identity of the Src family members that are activated on stimulation with PDGF. 相似文献

Up-regulation of integrin alpha(v)beta(3) has been shown to play a key role in tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. In this study, we evaluated the role of integrin alpha(v)beta(3) in breast cancer cell resistance to ionizing irradiation (IR) and tested the anti-tumor efficacy of combining integrin alpha(v) siRNA and IR. Colonogenic survival assay, cell proliferation, apoptosis, and cell cycle analysis were carried out to determine the treatment effect of siRNA, IR, or combination of both on MDA-MB-435 cells (integrin alpha(v)beta(3)-positive). Integrin alpha(v)beta(3)-negative MCF-7 cells exert more radiosensitivity than MDA-MB-435 cells. IR up-regulates integrin alpha(v)beta(3) expression in MDA-MB-435 cells and integrin alpha(v) siRNA can effectively reduce both alpha(v) and alpha(v)beta(3) integrin expression, leading to increased radiosensitivity. Integrin alpha(v) siRNA also promotes IR-induced apoptosis and enhances IR-induced G2/M arrest in cell cycle progression. This study, with further optimization, may provide a simple and highly efficient treatment strategy for breast cancer as well as other integrin alpha(v)beta(3)-positive cancer types. 相似文献

Integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) plays a critical role in platelet function, promoting a broad range of functional responses including platelet adhesion, spreading, aggregation, clot retraction, and platelet procoagulant function. Signaling events operating downstream of this receptor (outside-in signaling) are important for these responses; however the mechanisms negatively regulating integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) signaling remain ill-defined. We demonstrate here a major role for the Src homology 2 domain-containing inositol 5-phosphatase (SHIP1) and Src family kinase, Lyn, in this process. Our studies on murine SHIP1 knockout platelets have defined a major role for this enzyme in regulating integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3)-dependent phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3)) accumulation, necessary for a cytosolic calcium response and platelet spreading. SHIP1 phosphorylation and PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) metabolism is partially regulated through Lyn kinase, resulting in an enhanced calcium flux and spreading response in Lyn-deficient mouse platelets. Analysis of platelet adhesion dynamics under physiological blood flow conditions revealed an important role for SHIP1 in regulating platelet adhesion on fibrinogen. Specifically, SHIP1-dependent PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) metabolism down-regulates the stability of integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3)-fibrinogen adhesive bonds, leading to a decrease in the proportion of platelets forming shear-resistant adhesion contacts. These studies define a major role for SHIP1 and Lyn as negative regulators of integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) adhesive and signaling function. 相似文献

A body of evidence suggests that stress-induced sphingomyelin hydrolysis to the second messenger ceramide initiates apoptosis in some cells. Although studies using lymphoblasts from Niemann-Pick disease patients or acid sphingomyelinase (ASMase)-deficient mice have provided genetic support for this hypothesis, these models have not been universally accepted as definitive. Here, we show that mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) prepared from asmase mice manifest cell autonomous defects in apoptosis in response to several stresses. In particular, asmase(-/-) MEFs failed to generate ceramide and were totally resistant to radiation-induced apoptosis but remained sensitive to staurosporine, which did not induce ceramide. asmase(-/-) MEFs were also partially resistant to tumor necrosis factor alpha/ actinomycin D and serum withdrawal. Thus, resistance to apoptosis in asmase(-/-) MEFs was not global but rather stress type specific. Most importantly, the sensitivity to stress could be restored in the asmase(-/-) MEFs by administration of natural ceramide. Overcoming apoptosis resistance by natural ceramide is evidence that it is the lack of ceramide, not ASMase, that determines apoptosis sensitivity. The ability to rescue the apoptotic phenotype without reversing the genotype by the product of the enzymatic deficiency provides proof that ceramide is obligate for apoptosis induction in response to some stresses. 相似文献

Recent evidence suggests clustering of plasma membrane rafts into ceramide-enriched platforms serves as a transmembrane signaling mechanism for a subset of cell surface receptors and environmental stresses (Grassme, H., Jekle, A., Riehle, A., Schwarz, H., Berger, J., Sandhoff, K., Kolesnick, R., and Gulbins, E. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 20589-20596; Cremesti, A., Paris, F., Grassme, H., Holler, N., Tschopp, J., Fuks, Z., Gulbins, E., and Kolesnick, R. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 23954-23961). Translocation of the secretory form of acid sphingomyelinase (ASMase) into microscopic rafts generates therein the ceramide that drives raft coalescence. This process serves to feed forward Fas activation, with approximately 2% of full caspase 8 activation sufficient for maximal ASMase translocation, leading to death-inducing signaling complex formation within ceramide-rich platforms, and apoptosis. Here we report that treatment of Jurkat T cells with UV-C also induces ASMase translocation into rafts within 1 min, catalyzing sphingomyelin hydrolysis to ceramide and raft clustering. In contrast to Fas, UV-induced ASMase translocation and activation were caspase-independent. Nonetheless, ceramide-rich platforms promoted UV-C-induced death signaling, because ASMase inhibition or raft disruption inhibited apoptosis, improving clonogenic cell survival. These studies thus define two distinct mechanisms for biologically relevant ASMase activation within rafts; a Fas-mediated mechanism dependent upon caspase 8 and FADD, and a UV-induced mechanism independent of caspase activation. Consistent with this notion, genetic depletion or pharmacologic inhibition of caspase 8 or FADD, which render Jurkat cells incapable of sphingolipid signaling and apoptosis upon Fas ligation, did not impair these events upon UV-C stimulation. 相似文献

Cell/matrix detachment is a general inducer of programmed cell death, an event mediated by loss of integrin/ligand association. Because alpha(v)beta3 is the major integrin expressed by the osteoclast, we asked whether its occupancy promotes survival of the resorptive cell. Thus, we generated wild-type preosteoclasts and placed them on selective matrix proteins. Consistent with the posture that alpha(v)beta3 occupancy promotes survival, preosteoclasts plated on native collagen, a matrix not recognized by the integrin, undergo apoptosis 4-fold faster than those on the alpha(v)beta3 ligand, vitronectin. To further explore the role of alpha(v)beta3 in osteoclast apoptosis, wild-type and beta3-/- preosteoclasts were suspended and apoptosis determined, with time. Beta3-/- preosteoclasts, in suspension, undergo a rate of apoptosis only 40-60% of that of their wild-type counterparts, indicating that unoccupied alpha(v)beta3 transmits a positive death signal that we find regulated by caspase-8. Attesting to specificity of the unoccupied integrin-transmitted death signal, apoptosis in the absence of alpha(v)beta3 is mediated by capsase-9. We have shown that the resorptive defect of beta3-/- osteoclasts is rescued by wild-type beta3 cDNA but not by one bearing a S752P mutation. To determine whether the same holds true regarding osteoclast apoptosis, we constructed lentivirus vectors encoding green fluorescent protein, wild-type beta3, or beta3S752P. Once again, native beta3-/- preosteoclasts were protected against apoptosis. Similar to its effect on bone resorption, transduced wild-type beta3 normalizes the apoptotic rate of beta3-/- preosteoclasts. Unexpectedly, however, beta3S752P transductants also die at a rate indistinguishable from wild type. Thus, unoccupied alpha(v)beta3 integrin regulates osteoclast apoptosis via a component of the integrin that is different than that regulating resorption. 相似文献

The snake venom disintegrin salmosin induces apoptosis by disassembly of focal adhesions in bovine capillary endothelial cells 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Salmosin, a disintegrin purified from a Korean snake (Agkistrodon halys brevicaudus) venom, interacts with integrin alpha(v)beta(3) and inhibits the proliferation of bovine capillary endothelial (BCE) cells induced by basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). We investigated salmosin's mechanism of inhibition of BCE cell proliferation by examining changes in the cytoskeleton and activation of integrin-mediated signaling molecules. Salmosin disassembled cortical actins at focal adhesions and induced cells to be rounded and detached, but it did not alter microtubule structures in the early stage of cells being rounded. Immunolocalization of paxillin also demonstrated that focal adhesions were disassembled by salmosin. In salmosin-treated BCE cells, focal adhesion kinase (FAK) was dephosphorylated and expression of paxillin and p130(CAS) was decreased, but PI3 kinase, ILK, and beta-catenin were not expressed in decreased amounts or modified, suggesting that salmosin inactivated FAK-dependent integrin signaling pathways. While BCE cells proliferated normally on plates coated with salmosin, cells treated with salmosin eventually underwent apoptosis. These observations strongly suggest that salmosin disorganizes focal contacts to detach cells by competing with the extracellular matrix (ECM) for direct binding to integrin alpha(v)beta(3) on the cell surface, eventually leading to apoptosis. 相似文献

Integrin plays an essential role in the formation of cell-matrix junctions and is also involved in the fundamental cellular functions. In the process of the formation of cell-cell junctions, an immunoglobulin-like cell-cell adhesion molecule nectin initially trans-interacts together and promotes the formation of adherens junctions (AJs) cooperatively with another cell-cell adhesion molecule cadherin. The activation of integrin alpha(v)beta(3) is critically necessary for this nectin-induced formation of AJs. However, after the establishment of AJs, integrin alpha(v)beta(3) becomes inactive and retains the association with nectin at AJs. The molecular mechanism of this dynamic regulation of integrin alpha(v)beta(3) during the formation of AJs remains unclear. We found here that the expression of phosphatidylinositol-phosphate kinase type Igamma90 (PIPKIgamma90), which is involved in the regulation of integrin activation, in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells, preferentially reversed the inactivation of integrin alpha(v)beta(3) at cell-cell adhesion sites and partially disrupted E-cadherin-based AJs. The activation of PIPKIgamma is correlated with its phosphorylation state. The tyrosine phosphatase protein-tyrosine phosphatase mu (PTPmu) effectively dephosphorylated PIPKIgamma and thus canceled the PIPKIgamma-dependent activation of integrin alpha(v)beta(3) by blocking the interaction of integrin alpha(v)beta(3) with talin. Moreover, PTPmu associated with nectin, and its phosphatase activity was enhanced by the trans-interaction of nectin, leading to the decrease in PIPKIgamma90 phosphorylation. Therefore, the trans-interaction of nectin essentially functions in the inactivation of integrin at AJs through the PTPmu-induced inactivation of PIPKIgamma. 相似文献

Engagement of alphavbeta3 integrin regulates proliferation and apoptosis of hepatic stellate cells 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

Hepatic stellate cells are the major source of the extracellular matrix that accumulates in fibrotic liver. During progressive liver fibrosis, hepatic stellate cells proliferate, but during resolution of fibrosis there is extensive stellate cell apoptosis that coincides with degradation of the liver scar. We have examined the possibility that the fate of stellate cells is influenced by the extracellular matrix through the intermediary of alpha(v)beta(3) integrin. alpha(v)beta(3) integrin was expressed by activated, myofibroblastic rat and human stellate cells in culture. Antagonism of this integrin using neutralizing antibodies, echistatin, or small inhibitory RNA to silence alpha(v) subunit expression inhibited stellate cell proliferation and their expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen and activated forms of p44 and p42 MAPK. These alpha(v)beta(3) antagonists also increased apoptosis of cultured stellate cells, and this was associated with an increase in the BAX/BCL-2 protein ratio, induction of nuclear DNA fragmentation, and activation of intracellular caspase-3. Expression of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 by activated stellate cells was reduced by the alpha(v)beta(3) antagonists, while matrix metalloproteinase-9 synthesis was enhanced. Stellate cells incubated with active recombinant matrix metalloproteinase-9 showed enhanced apoptosis, while cells treated with a synthetic inhibitor of this protease showed increased survival. Our studies suggest that alpha(v)beta(3) integrin regulates the fate of hepatic stellate cells. Degradation of alpha(v)beta(3) ligands surrounding activated stellate cells during resolution of liver fibrosis might decrease alpha(v)beta(3) integrin ligation, suppressing stellate cell proliferation and inducing a fibrolytic, matrix metalloproteinase-secreting phenotype that may prime stellate cells for apoptosis. 相似文献

Interleukin 1 beta (IL-1beta) is often associated with thyroidal autoimmune diseases. This cytokine has been largely described to trigger an important biological signalling pathway: the sphingomyelin/ceramide pathway. In this report we show that IL-1beta induces ceramide formation and sphingomyelin degradation in porcine thyroid cells via the activation of a neutral sphingomyelinase. Among the potential targets of IL-1beta and ceramides action, we have investigated the role of an atypical protein kinase C (PKC), the PKC zeta. We show that both IL-1beta and ceramides lead to an increase of PKCzeta activity. All these results suggest an important role for ceramides and IL-1beta in regulation of thyroid function, leading to cell survival or to apoptosis. 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

Recently, we have shown that membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) exhibits integrin convertase activity. Similar to furin-like proprotein convertases, MT1-MMP directly processes a single chain precursor of alpha(v) integrin subunit (pro-alpha(v)) into the heavy and light alpha-chains connected by a disulfide bridge. To evaluate functionality of MT1-MMP-processed integrins, we examined breast carcinoma MCF7 cells co-expressing alpha(v)beta(3) integrin with either the wild type or mutant MT1-MMP in a variety of migration and adhesion tests. Specific inhibitors of proprotein convertases and MMP were employed in our cell system to attenuate the individual pathways of pro-alpha(v) maturation. We present evidence that MT1-MMP cleavage of pro-alpha(v) in the cells did not affect RGD-ligand binding of the resulting alpha(v)beta(3) integrin but enhanced outside-in signal transduction through a focal adhesion kinase pathway. Enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase in cells co-expressing MT1-MMP and alpha(v)beta(3) integrin contributed to efficient adhesion and, especially, migration of cells on vitronectin, a ligand of alpha(v)beta(3) integrin. These mechanisms underscore the significance of a coordinated interplay between MT1-MMP and alpha(v)beta(3) integrin in tumor cells and identify downstream signaling pathways resulting from their interactions. Regulation of integrin maturation and functionality may be an important role of MT1-MMP in tumor cells. 相似文献

Mitochondria reduce Cr(VI) to Cr(V) with concomitant generation of reactive oxygen species, thereby exhibiting cytotoxic effects leading to apoptosis in various types of cells. To clarify the mechanism by which Cr(VI) induces apoptosis, we examined the effect of Cr(VI) on Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Cr(VI) increased cellular levels of ceramide by activating acid sphingomyelinase (ASMase) and inhibiting the phosphorylation of pleckstrin homology domain-containing protein kinase B (Akt). Cr(VI) also induced cyclosporin A- and trifluoperazine-sensitive depolarization of mitochondria and activated caspase-3, 8 and 9, thereby causing fragmentation of cellular DNA. The presence of desipramine, an inhibitor of ASMase, and membrane permeable pCPT-cAMP suppressed the Cr(VI)-induced activation of caspases and DNA fragmentation. These results suggested that accumulation of ceramide play an important role in the Cr(VI)-induced apoptosis of CHO cells through activation of mitochondrial membrane permeability transition. 相似文献

The cytoplasmic domain of beta(3) integrin contains tyrosines at positions 747 and 759 in domains that have been implicated in regulation of alpha(v)beta(3) function and that serve as potential substrates for Src family kinases. The phosphorylation level of beta(3) integrin was modulated using a temperature-sensitive v-Src kinase. Increased beta(3) phosphorylation abolished alpha(v)beta(3)- but not alpha(5)beta(1)-mediated adhesion to fibronectin. alpha(v)beta(3)-Mediated cell adhesion was restored by the expression of beta(3) containing Y747F or Y759F mutations but not by wild type beta(3) integrin. Thus, phosphorylation of the cytoplasmic domain of beta(3) is a negative regulator of alpha(v)beta(3)-fibronectin binding strength. 相似文献

CD98 heavy chain (CD98hc) is expressed highly in developing human placental trophoblast. CD98hc is an amino acid transporter and is thought to function in cell fusion, adhesion, and invasion by interacting with integrins. In invasive extravillous trophoblast, alpha(v)beta(3) integrin is expressed in a temporally and spatially specific manner, which prompted us to investigate the potential role of CD98hc in signal transduction of alpha(v)beta(3) integrin. Immunocytochemistry of extravillous trophoblast derived from human placenta revealed that CD98hc colocalized with alpha(v)beta(3) integrin and with alpha(v)beta(3)-associated cytoplasmic proteins including paxillin, vinculin, and focal adhesion kinase. Coimmunoprecipitation of CD98hc and its mutants revealed that the transmembrane domain of CD98hc is necessary for the association of CD98hc with alpha(v)beta(3) integrin. When CD98hc negative liver cells (FLC4) were stably transfected with CD98hc and the extracellular domain of CD98hc was cross-linked by anti-CD98 antibody, FLC4 cells binding affinity to fibronectin and cell motility increased. The anti-CD98 antibody cross-linking promoted actin stress fiber formation and activation of signal transduction downstream of RhoA GTPase, and elevated the phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase, paxillin, and protein kinase B. Pretreatment of transfected FLC4 cells with specific inhibitors for alpha(v)beta(3)integrin, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and RhoA diminished these effects caused by anti-CD98 antibody cross-linking. These results suggest that notoriously invasive activity of extravillous trophoblast is mediated by CD98hc, which promotes alpha(v)beta(3) integrin-dependent signals. 相似文献

alpha(v)beta(3) integrin has a dual role in apoptosis. Whereas ligated alpha(v)beta(3) activates cell survival pathways and suppresses pro-apoptotic signals, unligated alpha(v)beta(3) or integrins bound to soluble ligands promote apoptosis. In this study, we assessed the role of alpha(v)beta(3) in chemosensitivity of breast cancer cells expressing different levels of heregulin (HRG). Expression levels of the RGD-binding integrins alpha(v)beta(3) were measured in MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells and its low HRG-expressing derivative (MDA-MB-231/AS31) treated with the microtubule-interfering agents (MIAs) paclitaxel and vincristine. Following treatment, only alpha(v)beta(3) levels were significantly increased in MDA-MB-231 cells. Interestingly, alpha(v)beta(3) expression was more significantly up-regulated in the MDA-MB-231/AS31 cells than in the parental cells. This MIA-induced increase of alpha(v)beta(3) expression was correlated with a decrease in cell viability and an increase in apoptosis in MDA-MB-231/AS31 cells, indicating that overexpression of alpha(v)beta(3) is linked to chemotherapy-induced cell death in low HRG-expressing breast cancer models. Moreover, a paclitaxel-induced increase of alpha(v)beta(3) was also observed in MCF-7 cells but not in an doxorubicin-resistant derivative that shows cross-resistance to paclitaxel, further providing evidence that the extent of alpha(v)beta(3) up-regulation is related to cell damage. These results indicate that alpha(v)beta(3) integrin is dramatically up-regulated in low HRG-expressing breast cancer models that are highly responsive to MIAs, thus providing a novel molecular marker of chemosensitivity influenced by HRG levels in breast cancer cells. 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

CD47-binding sequences from the carboxyl-terminal domain of thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) are known to regulate activity of the alpha(v)beta(3) integrin (Gao, G., Lindberg, F. P., Dimitry, J. M., Brown, E. J., and Frazier, W. A. (1996) J. Cell Biol. 135, 533-544). Here we show that peptides from the type 1 repeats of TSP1 also stimulate alpha(v)beta(3) integrin function in melanoma cells. Addition of soluble peptide 246 (KRFKQDGGWSHWSPWSS) enhances spreading of A2058 melanoma cells on several alpha(v)beta(3) integrin ligands, including vitronectin, recombinant TSP1 fragments containing the Arg-Gly-Asp sequence, and native TSP1. This activity requires the Trp residues and is independent of CD36-binding sequences in the type 1 repeats. Recombinant type 1 repeats expressed as a glutathione S-transferase fusion protein also enhance spreading on vitronectin and TSP1. Activation of alpha(v)beta(3) integrin by the soluble peptide 246 stimulates organization of F-actin and increases tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase. In contrast, direct adhesion of melanoma cells on immobilized peptide 246 inhibits tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase. Stimulation of alpha(v)beta(3) integrin function by the type 1 repeat peptide differs from that induced by CD47-binding TSP1 peptides in that heparan sulfate proteoglycans are required and pertussis toxin does not inhibit the former activity. Thus, the type 1 repeats contain a second sequence of TSP1 that can enhance alpha(v)beta(3) integrin signaling, and these two sequences stimulate recognition of both vitronectin and TSP1 by the alpha(v)beta(3) integrin. 相似文献
