Melanoma cells express and interact with laminins (LMs) and other basement membrane components during invasion and metastasis. In the present study we have investigated the production and migration-promoting activity of laminin isoforms in melanoma. Immunohistochemistry of melanoma specimens and immunoprecipitation/western blotting of melanoma cell lines indicated expression of laminin-111/121, laminin-211, laminin-411/421, and laminin-511/521. Laminin-332 was not detected. In functional assays, laminin-111, laminin-332, and laminin-511, but not laminin-211 and laminin-411, strongly promoted haptotactic cell migration either constitutively or following stimulation with insulin-like growth factors. Both placenta and recombinant laminin-511 preparations were highly active, and the isolated recombinant IVa domain of LMα5 also promoted cell migration. Function-blocking antibodies in cell migration assays revealed α6β1 integrin as the major receptor for laminin-111, and both α3β1 and α6β1 integrins for laminin-332 and laminin-511. In contrast, isolated LMα5 IVa domain-promoted melanoma cell migration was largely mediated via αVβ3 integrin and inhibited by RGD peptides. Given the ubiquitous expression of α5 laminins in melanoma cells and in melanoma-target tissues/anatomical structures, as well as the strong migration-promoting activity of these laminin isoforms, the α5 laminins emerge as putative primary extracellular matrix mediators of melanoma invasion and metastasis via α3β1 and other integrin receptors. 相似文献

Of the estimated 565,650 people in the U.S. who will die of cancer in 2008, almost all will have metastasis. Breast, prostate, kidney, thyroid and lung cancers metastasize to the bone. Tumor cells reside within the bone using integrin type cell adhesion receptors and elicit incapacitating bone pain and fractures. In particular, metastatic human prostate tumors express and cleave the integrin A6, a receptor for extracellular matrix components of the bone, i.e., laminin 332 and laminin 511. More than 50% of all prostate cancer patients develop severe bone pain during their remaining lifetime. One major goal is to prevent or delay cancer induced bone pain. We used a novel xenograft mouse model to directly determine if bone pain could be prevented by blocking the known cleavage of the A6 integrin adhesion receptor. Human tumor cells expressing either the wildtype or mutated A6 integrin were placed within the living bone matrix and 21 days later, integrin expression was confirmed by RT-PCR, radiographs were collected and behavioral measurements of spontaneous and evoked pain performed. All animals independent of integrin status had indistinguishable tumor burden and developed bone loss 21 days after surgery. A comparison of animals containing the wild type or mutated integrin revealed that tumor cells expressing the mutated integrin resulted in a dramatic decrease in bone loss, unicortical or bicortical fractures and a decrease in the ability of tumor cells to reach the epiphyseal plate of the bone. Further, tumor cells within the bone expressing the integrin mutation prevented cancer induced spontaneous flinching, tactile allodynia, and movement evoked pain. Preventing A6 integrin cleavage on the prostate tumor cell surface decreased the migration of tumor cells within the bone and the onset and degree of bone pain and fractures. These results suggest that strategies for blocking the cleavage of the adhesion receptors on the tumor cell surface can significantly prevent cancer induced bone pain and slow disease progression within the bone. Since integrin cleavage is mediated by Urokinase-type Plasminogen Activator (uPA), further work is warranted to test the efficacy of uPA inhibitors for prevention or delay of cancer induced bone pain. 相似文献

Laminin 5/laminin 332 (LN332) is an adhesion substrate for epithelial cells. After secretion of LN332, a regulated cleavage occurs at the carboxy-terminus of its alpha3 subunit, which releases a tandem of two globular modules named LG4/5. We show that the presence of the LG4/5 domain in precursor LN332 decreases its integrin-mediated cell adhesion properties in comparison with mature LN332. Whereas cell adhesion to the recombinant LG4/5 fragment relies solely on the heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) receptor syndecan-1, we reveal that both syndecan-1 and the alpha3beta1 integrin bind to precursor LN332. We further demonstrate that syndecan-1 mediated cell adhesion to the LG4/5 fragment and pre-LN332 allows the formation of fascin-containing protrusions, depending on the GTPases Rac and Cdc42 activation. Reducing syndecan-1 expression in normal keratinocytes prevents cell protrusions on pre-LN332 with subsequent failure of the peripheral localization of the alpha3beta1 integrin. We finally show that cell migration on pre-LN332 requires syndecan-1. Therefore, the LG4/5 domain in precursor LN332 appears to trigger intracellular signaling events, which participate in keratinocyte motility. 相似文献

Integrin beta4 regulates migratory behavior of keratinocytes by determining laminin-332 organization

Whether alpha6beta4 integrin regulates migration remains controversial. beta4 integrin-deficient (JEB) keratinocytes display aberrant migration in that they move in circles, a behavior that mirrors the circular arrays of laminin (LM)-332 in their matrix. In contrast, wild-type keratinocytes and JEB keratinocytes, induced to express beta4 integrin, assemble laminin-332 in linear tracks over which they migrate. Moreover, laminin-332-dependent migration of JEB keratinocytes along linear tracks is restored when cells are plated on wild-type keratinocyte matrix, whereas wild-type keratinocytes show rotation over circular arrays of laminn-332 in JEB keratinocyte matrix. The activities of Rac1 and the actin cytoskeleton-severing protein cofilin are low in JEB keratinocytes compared with wild-type cells but are rescued following expression of wild-type beta4 integrin in JEB cells. Additionally, in wild-type keratinocytes Rac1 is complexed with alpha6beta4 integrin. Moreover, Rac1 or cofilin inactivation induces wild-type keratinocytes to move in circles over rings of laminin-332 in their matrix. Together these data indicate that laminin-332 matrix organization is determined by the alpha6beta4 integrin/actin cytoskeleton via Rac1/cofilin signaling. Furthermore, our results imply that the organizational state of laminin-332 is a key determinant of the motility behavior of keratinocytes, an essential element of skin wound healing and the successful invasion of epidermal-derived tumor cells. 相似文献

The interactions of cells with basement membranes are primarily mediated via the engagement of laminins by a group of integrin family proteins, including integrins alpha3beta1, alpha6beta1, alpha7beta1 and alpha6beta4. To explore the ligand-binding specificities of these laminin-binding integrins, we produced these integrins, including two alpha7beta1 splice variants (alpha7X1beta1 and alpha7X2beta1), as soluble recombinant proteins and determined their binding specificities and affinities toward a panel of purified laminin isoforms containing distinct alpha chains. Among the five laminin-binding integrins investigated, alpha3beta1 and alpha6beta4 exhibited a clear specificity for laminin-332 (alpha3beta3gamma2) and laminin-511 (alpha5beta1gamma1)/521 (alpha5beta2gamma1), while integrin alpha6beta1 showed a broad specificity, binding to all laminin isoforms with a preference for laminin-111 (alpha1beta1gamma1), laminin-332 and laminin-511/521. The two alpha7beta1 variants were distinct from alpha3beta1, alpha6beta1 and alpha6beta4 in that they did not bind to laminin-332. alpha7X1beta1 bound to all laminins, except laminin-332, with a preference for laminin-211 (alpha2beta1gamma1)/221 (alpha2beta2gamma1) and laminin-511/521, while alpha7X2beta1 bound preferentially to laminin-111 and laminin-211/221. Laminin-511/521 was the most preferred ligand for all the laminin-binding integrins, except for alpha7X2beta1, whereas laminin-411 was the poorest ligand, capable of binding to alpha6beta1 and alpha7X1beta1 with only modest binding affinities. These comprehensive analyses of the interactions between laminin-binding integrins and a panel of laminins clearly demonstrate that the isoforms of both integrins and laminins differ in their binding specificities and affinities, and provide a molecular basis for better understanding of the adhesive interactions of cells with basement membranes of defined laminin compositions. 相似文献

Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) has the ability to induce epithelial cell migration while stopping proliferation. In this study, we show that, concomitant to promoting migration of normal human keratinocytes in vitro, TGF-beta1 induced a marked decrease in their adhesion capacity to processed alpha3-containing laminin 5-coated surfaces. Indeed, the expression levels of alpha3 and alpha6 integrin subunit mRNA and protein, as well as the cell surface alpha3beta1 and alpha6beta4 integrins, were down-regulated. Recent studies showed that keratinocytes over express and deposit laminin 5 during migration and we have shown that laminin 5 found in the matrix of TGF-beta1 induced migrating keratinocytes is present in its unprocessed form [Décline and Rousselle, 2001: J. Cell Sci. 114:811-823]. We show here that TGF-beta1 treatment of the cells promoted a significant increase in their adhesion to the alpha3 chain carboxy-terminal LG4/5 subdomain and that this interaction is likely to be mediated by a heparan sulfate proteoglycan type of receptor. Our results indicate that alpha6beta4 and alpha3beta1 integrin interactions with laminin 5 are diminished during migration while a specific interaction occurs between an additional cellular receptor and the alpha3 LG4/5 module present on unprocessed laminin 5. 相似文献

Glioma cell infiltration of brain tissue often occurs along the basement membrane (BM) of blood vessels. In the present study we have investigated the role of laminins, major structural components of BMs and strong promoters of cell migration. Immunohistochemical studies of glioma tumor tissue demonstrated expression of alpha2-, alpha3-, alpha4- and alpha5-, but not alpha1-, laminins by the tumor vasculature. In functional assays, alpha3 (Lm-332/laminin-5)- and alpha5 (Lm-511/laminin-10)-laminins strongly promoted migration of all glioma cell lines tested. alpha1-Laminin (Lm-111/laminin-1) displayed lower activity, whereas alpha2 (Lm-211/laminin-2)- and alpha4 (Lm-411/laminin-8)-laminins were practically inactive. Global integrin phenotyping identified alpha3beta1 as the most abundant integrin in all the glioma cell lines, and this laminin-binding integrin exclusively or largely mediate the cell migration. Moreover, pretreatment of U251 glioma cells with blocking antibodies to alpha3beta1 integrin followed by intracerebral injection into nude mice inhibited invasion of the tumor cells into the brain tissue. The cell lines secreted Lm-211, Lm-411 and Lm-511, at different ratios. The results indicate that glioma cells secrete alpha2-, alpha4- and alpha5-laminins and that alpha3- and alpha5-laminins, found in brain vasculature, selectively promote glioma cell migration. They identify alpha3beta1 as the predominant integrin and laminin receptor in glioma cells, and as a brain invasion-mediating integrin. 相似文献

Spatial and temporal expression of laminin isoforms is assumed to provide specific local information to neighboring cells. Here, we report the remarkably selective presence of LM-111 at the very tip of hair follicles where LM-332 is absent, suggesting that epithelial cells lining the dermal-epidermal junction at this location may receive different signals from the two laminins. This hypothesis was tested in vitro by characterizing with functional and molecular assays the comportment of keratinocytes exposed to LM-111 and LM-332. The two laminins induced morphologically distinct focal adhesions, and LM-332, but not LM-111, elicited persistent migration of keratinocytes. The different impact on cellular behavior was associated with distinct activation patterns of Rho GTPases and other signaling intermediates. In particular, while LM-111 triggered a robust activation of Cdc42, LM-332 provoked a strong and sustained activation of FAK. Interestingly, activation of Rac1 was necessary but not sufficient to promote migration because there was no directed migration on LM-111 despite Rac1 activation. In contrast, RhoA antagonized directional migration, since silencing of RhoA by RNA interference boosted unidirectional migration on LM-332. Molecular analysis of the role of RhoA strongly suggested that the mechanisms involve disassembly of cell-cell contacts, loss of the cortical actin network, mobilization of α6β4 integrin out of stable adhesions, and displacement of the integrin from its association with the insoluble pool of intermediate filaments. 相似文献

During human prostate cancer progression, the integrin alpha6beta1 (laminin receptor) is expressed on the cancer cell surface during invasion and in lymph node metastases. We previously identified a novel structural variant of the alpha6 integrin called alpha6p. This variant was produced on the cell surface and was missing the beta-barrel extracellular domain. Using several different concentrations of amiloride, aminobenzamidine and PAI-1 and the urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) function-blocking antibody (3689), we showed that uPA, acting as a protease, is responsible for production of alpha6p. We also showed that addition of uPA in the culture media of cells that do not produce alpha6p, resulted in a dose-dependent alpha6p production. In contrast, the addition of uPA did not result in the cleavage of other integrins. Using alpha2-antiplasmin and plasmin depleted media, we observed that uPA cleaves the alpha6 integrin directly. Further, 12-o-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) induced the production of alpha6p, and this induction was abolished by PAI-1 but not alpha2-antiplasmin. Finally, the alpha6p integrin variant was detected in invasive human prostate carcinoma tissue indicating that this is not a tissue culture phenomenon. These data, taken together, suggest that this is a novel function of uPA, that is, to remove the beta-barrel ligand-binding domain of the integrin while preserving its heterodimer association. 相似文献

Laminin is the first extracellular matrix protein expressed in the developing mouse embryo. It is known to influence morphogenesis and affect cell migration and polarization. Several laminin receptors are included in the integrin family of extracellular matrix receptors. Ligand binding by integrin heterodimers results in signal transduction events controlling cell motility. We report that the major laminin receptor on murine embryonic stem (ES) cells is the integrin heterodimer alpha 6 beta 1, an important receptor for laminin in neurons, lymphocytes, macrophages, fibroblasts, platelets and other cell types. However, the cytoplasmic domain of the ES cell alpha 6 (alpha 6 B) differs totally from the reported cytoplasmic domain amino acid sequence of alpha 6 (alpha 6 A). Comparisons of alpha 6 cDNAs from ES cells and other cells suggest that the alpha 6 A and alpha 6 B cytoplasmic domains derive from alternative mRNA splicing. Anti-peptide antibodies to alpha 6 A are unreactive with ES cells, but react with mouse melanoma cells and embryonic fibroblasts. When ES cells are cultured under conditions that permit their differentiation, they become positive for alpha 6 A, concurrent with the morphologic appearance of differentiated cell types. Thus, expression of the alpha 6 B beta 1 laminin receptor may be favored in undifferentiated, totipotent cells, while the expression of alpha 6 A beta 1 receptor occurs in committed lineages. While the functions of integrin alpha chain cytoplasmic domains are not understood, it is possible that they contribute to transferring signals to the cell interior, e.g., by delivering cytoskeleton organizing signals in response to integrin engagement with extracellular matrix ligands. It is therefore reasonable to propose that the cellular responses to laminin may vary, according to what alpha subunit isoform (alpha 6 A or alpha 6 B) is expressed as part of the alpha 6 beta 1 laminin receptor. The switch from alpha 6 B to alpha 6 A, if confirmed in early embryos, could then be of striking potential relevance to the developmental role of laminin. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to identify the binding site(s) within laminin for the alpha 3 beta 1 integrin receptor. It has been previously shown, using proteolytic fragments and anti-laminin antibodies, that the region in laminin for alpha 3 beta 1 integrin binding is localized to the carboxy-terminal region at the end of the long arm (Gehlsen, K. R., E. Engvall, K. Dickerson, W. S. Argraves, and E. Ruoslahti. 1989. J. Biol. Chem. 264:19034-19038; Tomaselli, K. J., D. E. Hall, L. T. Reichardt, L. A. Flier, K. R. Gehlsen, D. C. Turner, and S. Carbonetto. 1990. Neuron. 5:651-662). Using synthetic peptides, we have identified an amino acid sequence within the carboxy-terminal region of the laminin A chain that is recognized by the alpha 3 beta 1 integrin. The amino acid sequence represented by the synthetic peptide GD-6 (KQNCLSSRASFRGCVRNLRLSR residues numbered 3011 to 3032) of the globular domain of the murine A chain supports cell attachment and inhibits cell adhesion to laminin-coated surfaces. By affinity chromatography, peptide GD-6-Sepharose specifically bound solubilized alpha 3 beta 1 from extracts of surface-iodinated cells in a cation-dependent manner, while it did not bind other integrins. In addition, exogenous peptide GD-6 specifically eluted bound alpha 3 beta 1 from laminin-Sepharose columns but did not elute the alpha 3 beta 1 integrin from a fibronectin-Sepharose column. Using integrin subunit-specific monoclonal antibodies, only those antibodies against the alpha 3 and beta 1 subunits inhibited cell adhesion to peptide GD-6-coated surfaces. Finally, a polyclonal antibody made against peptide GD-6 reacted specifically with both murine and human laminin and significantly inhibited cell adhesion to laminin-coated surfaces but not those coated with other matrix proteins. These results identify the laminin A chain amino acid sequence of peptide GD-6 as representing a binding site in laminin for the alpha 3 beta 1 integrin. 相似文献

In vivo in the prostate gland, basal epithelial cells adhere to laminin 5 (LM5) via alpha3beta1 and alpha6beta4 integrins. When placed in culture primary prostate basal epithelial cells secrete and adhere to their own LM5-rich matrix. Adhesion to LM5 is required for cell survival that is dependent on integrin-mediated, ligand-independent activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and the cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase Src, but not PI-3K. Integrin-mediated adhesion via alpha3beta1, but not alpha6beta4 integrin, supports cell survival through EGFR by signaling downstream to Erk. PC3 cells, which do not activate EGFR or Erk on LM5-rich matrices, are not dependent on this pathway for survival. PC3 cells are dependent on PI-3K for survival and undergo caspase-dependent death when PI-3K is inhibited. The death induced by inhibition of EGFR or Src in normal primary prostate cells is not mediated through or dependent on caspase activation, but depends on the induction of reactive oxygen species. In addition the presence of an autophagic pathway, maintained by adhesion to matrix through alpha3beta1 and alpha6beta4, prevents the induction of caspases when EGFR or Src is inhibited. Suppression of autophagy is sufficient to induce caspase activation and apoptosis in LM5-adherent primary prostate epithelial cells. 相似文献

In cancer and angiogenesis, coagulation-independent roles of tissue factor (TF) in cell migration are incompletely understood. Immobilized anti-TF extracellular domain antibodies induce cell spreading, but this phenomenon is epitope specific and is not induced by anti-TF 5G9. Spreading on anti-TF is beta1 integrin-dependent, indicating functional interactions of the TF extracellular domain 5G9 epitope (a presumed integrin-binding site) and integrins. Recombinant TF extracellular domain supports adhesion of cells expressing alphavbeta3 or certain beta1 integrin heterodimers (alpha3beta1, alpha4beta1, alpha5beta1, alpha6beta1, alpha9beta1) and adhesion is blocked by specific anti-integrin antibodies or mutations in the integrin ligand-binding site. Although several studies have linked TF to cell migration, we here demonstrate that TF specifically regulates alpha3beta1-dependent migration on laminin 5. Expression of TF suppresses alpha3beta1-dependent migration, but only when the TF cytoplasmic domain is not phosphorylated. Suppression of migration can be reversed by 5G9, presumably by disrupting integrin interaction, or by the protease ligand VIIa, known to induce PAR-2-dependent phosphorylation of TF. In both cases, release of alpha3beta1 inhibition is prevented by mutation of critical phosphorylation sites in the TF cytoplasmic domain. Thus, TF influences integrin-mediated migration through cooperative intra- and extracellular interactions and phosphorylation regulates TF's function in cell motility. 相似文献

Collagen receptor integrins alpha 1 beta 1 and alpha 2 beta 1 can selectively recognize different collagen subtypes. Here we show that their alpha I domains can discriminate between laminin isoforms as well: alpha 1I and alpha 2I recognized laminin-111, -211 and -511, whereas their binding to laminin-411 was negligible. Residue Arg-218 in alpha1 was found to be instrumental in high-avidity binding. The gain-of-function mutation E318W makes the alpha 2I domain to adopt the "open" high-affinity conformation, while the wild-type alpha 2I domain favors the "closed" low-affinity conformation. The E318W mutation markedly increased alpha 2I domain binding to the laminins (-111, -211 and -511), leading us to propose that the activation state of the alpha 2 beta 1 integrin defines its role as a laminin receptor. However, neither wild-type nor alpha 2IE318W domain could bind to laminin-411. alpha 2IE318W also bound tighter to all collagens than alpha 2I wild-type, but it showed reduced ability to discriminate between collagens I, IV and IX. The corresponding mutation, E317A, in the alpha 1I domain transformed the domain into a high-avidity binder of collagens I and IV. Thus, our results indicate that conformational activation of integrin alpha 1I and alpha 2I domains leads to high-avidity binding to otherwise disfavored collagen subtypes. 相似文献

The alpha 6 beta 4 integrin and epithelial cell migration. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Although the involvement of alpha 6 beta 4, an integrin laminin receptor, in hemidesmosome organization has dominated the study of this integrin, recent studies are revealing novel functions for alpha 6 beta 4 in the migration of epithelial and carcinoma cells. The engagement of laminin by alpha 6 beta 4 can stabilize actin-rich protrusions and mediate traction forces necessary for cell movement. This integrin also has a significant impact on signaling molecules that stimulate migration and invasion, especially PI3-K and Rho GTPases. Activation of PI3-K by alpha 6 beta 4 enhances the formation of actin protrusions, and it may stimulate the function of other integrins, such as alpha 3 beta 1, that are also important for epithelial migration. Signaling through alpha 6 beta 4 may not always depend on the adhesive functions of this integrin, a possibility that has profound implications for migration and invasion because it implies that the ability of alpha 6 beta 4 to stimulate these processes is not limited to specific matrix environments. 相似文献

The carboxy-terminal globular domain (G-domain) of the laminin alpha1 chain has been shown to promote heparin binding, cell adhesion, and neurite outgrowth. In this study, we defined the potential sequences originating from the G-domain of laminin alpha1 chain which possess these functional activities. A series of peptides were synthesized from the G-domain, termed LG peptides (LG-1 to LG-6) and were tested for their various biological activities. In the direct [3H] heparin binding assays, LG-6 (residues 2,335-2,348: KDFLSIELVRGRVK) mediated high levels of [3H]heparin binding, and this peptide also directly promoted cell adhesion and spreading, including B16F10, M2, HT1080, and PC12 cells. The peptide LG-6 also promoted the neurite outgrowth of PC12 cells, mouse granule cells, and chick telencephalic cells. An anti-peptide LG-6 antibody inhibited laminin-1 and peptide LG-6-mediated cell adhesion and neurite outgrowth. Furthermore, an anti-integrin alpha2 antibody also inhibited the cell adhesion activity. These results suggest that peptide LG-6 plays a functional role as a heparin binding site in the G-domain of the laminin alpha1 chain, and this sequence was thus concluded to play a crucial role in regulating cell adhesion and spreading and neurite out-growth which is related to integrin alpha2. 相似文献

Changes in adhesive and migratory characteristics of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells induced by expression of alpha3beta1 integrin 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The invasive and metastatic potentials of hepatocellular carcinoma are positively correlated with the expression level of alpha3beta1 integrin, a high-affinity adhesion receptor for laminin isoforms including laminin-5. In this study, we investigated changes in the adhesive and invasive behaviors of human HCC HepG2 cells after transfection with cDNA for alpha3 integrin in order to elucidate the direct involvement of this integrin in these cellular processes. We introduced cDNA for splice variants of alpha3 integrin (alpha3A and alpha3B) into the cells, and selected two transfectant clones (HepG2-3A and HepG2-3B), which express the alpha3A and alpha3B integrins, respectively. Both transfectant cells adhered almost equally to laminin-5-coated plates in an alpha3 integrin-dependent manner, indicating that transfected alpha3Abeta1 and alpha3Bbeta1 integrins were functionally active in these cells. The migratory and invasive potentials of the transfectant cells were assessed by scratch wound assay and in vitro chemoinvasion assay. The results demonstrated that the migration of HepG2-3A and HepG2-3B cells but not of mock transfectant (HepG2-M) cells was stimulated on the plates coated with laminin-5. Furthermore, HepG2-3A and HepG2-3B cells were found to be more invasive into laminin-5-containing matrices than were HepG2-M cells. These results strongly suggest that enhanced expression of alpha3beta1 integrin on HCC cells is directly involved in their malignant phenotypes such as invasion and metastasis. 相似文献

Tetraspanin CD82 attenuates cellular morphogenesis through down-regulating integrin alpha6-mediated cell adhesion 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
He B Liu L Cook GA Grgurevich S Jennings LK Zhang XA 《The Journal of biological chemistry》2005,280(5):3346-3354
Tetraspanin CD82 has been implicated in integrin-mediated functions such as cell motility and invasiveness. Although tetraspanins associate with integrins, it is unknown if and how CD82 regulates the functionality of integrins. In this study, we found that Du145 prostate cancer cells underwent morphogenesis on the reconstituted basement membrane Matrigel to form an anastomosing network of multicellular structures. This process entirely depends on integrin alpha6, a receptor for laminin. After CD82 is expressed in Du145 cells, this cellular morphogenesis was abolished, indicating a functional cross-talk between CD82 and alpha6 integrins. Interestingly, antibodies against other tetraspanins expressed in Du145 cells such as CD9, CD81, and CD151 did not block this integrin alpha6-dependent morphogenesis. We further found that CD82 significantly inhibited cell adhesion on laminin 1. Notably, the level of alpha6 integrins on the cell surface was down-regulated upon CD82 expression, although total cellular alpha6 protein levels remained unchanged in CD82-expressing cells. This down-regulation indicates that the diminished cell adhesiveness of CD82-expressing Du145 cells on laminin likely resulted from less cell surface expression of alpha6 integrins. As expected, CD82 physically associated with the integrin alpha6 in Du145-CD82 transfectant cells, suggesting that the formation of the CD82-integrin alpha6 complex reduces alpha6 integrin cell surface expression. Finally, the internalization of cell surface integrin alpha6 is significantly enhanced upon CD82 expression. In conclusion, our results indicate that 1) CD82 attenuates integrin alpha6 signaling during a cellular morphogenic process; 2) the decreased surface expression of alpha6 integrins in CD82-expressing cells is likely responsible for the diminished adhesiveness on laminin and, subsequently, results in the attenuation of alpha6 integrin-mediated cellular morphogenesis; and 3) the accelerated internalization of integrin alpha6 upon CD82 expression correlates with the down-regulation of cell surface integrin alpha6. 相似文献
