Inhibition of adhesion of hepatocellular carcinoma cells to basement membrane components by receptor competition with RGD- or YIGSR-containing synthetic peptides

A micropipette technique was used to investigate the effects of four synthetic peptides, YIGSR, CDPGYIGSR, RGDS and GRGDTP, on the adhesion of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells onto type IV collagen/laminin/fibronectin coated surfaces. Adhesion of HCC cells to laminin was found to be YIGSR- or CDPGYIGSR-dependent while that to fibronectin and type IV collagen was RGDS- or GRGDTP-dependent. The reduction in adhesion strengths of HCC cells was slight to moderate (up to 55%), and was dependent on the peptide concentration. The decrease in adhesion strengths was reversed by an increase in ligand coating concentration and was compromised by prolonged interaction of the cells with the surfaces. These results suggested that the inhibition was due to competitive retardation rather than to a blockade of adhesion strengthening. A simple asymptotic function was adopted to fit the correlation between the mean of cell adhesion strengths and peptide concentration within defined concentration ranges. Regression analysis showed that cell adhesion strengths appeared to approach a plateau with increasing concentration of the inhibitory peptides, which was not always uniform over the entire concentration range tested. Further reduction in adhesion strengths was observed at higher peptide concentrations. It is suggested that the constants obtained by fitting over a low peptide concentration range might be kinetically representative of the inhibition during early events of adhesion or attachment.     

RGD and YIGSR synthetic peptides facilitate cellular adhesion identical to that of laminin and fibronectin but alter the physiology of neonatal cardiac myocytes

In the mammalian heart, the extracellular matrix plays an important role in regulating cell behavior and adaptation to mechanical stress. In cell culture, a significant number of cells detach in response to mechanical stimulation, limiting the scope of such studies. We describe a method to adhere the synthetic peptides RGD (fibronectin) and YIGSR (laminin) onto silicone for culturing primary cardiac cells and studying responses to mechanical stimulation. We first examined cardiac cells on stationary surfaces and observed the same degree of cellular adhesion to the synthetic peptides as their respective native proteins. However, the number of striated myocytes on the peptide surfaces was significantly reduced. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) protein was reduced by 50% in cardiac cells cultured on YIGSR peptide compared with laminin, even though ₁-integrin was unchanged. Connexin43 phosphorylation increased in cells adhered to RGD and YIGSR peptides. We then subjected the cardiac cells to cyclic strain at 20% maximum strain (1 Hz) for 48 h. After this period, cell attachment on laminin was reduced to 50% compared with the unstretched condition. However, in cells cultured on the synthetic peptides, there was no significant difference in cell adherence after stretch. On YIGSR peptide, myosin protein was decreased by 50% after mechanical stimulation. However, total myosin was unchanged in cells stretched on laminin. These results suggest that RGD and YIGSR peptides promote the same degree of cellular adhesion as their native proteins; however, they are unable to promote the signaling required for normal FAK expression and complete sarcomere formation in cardiac myocytes. cell adhesion; connexin43; focal adhesion kinase; surface chemistry     

Integrin-like substrate adhesion in RTG-2 cells, a fibroblastic cell line derived from rainbow trout

Fluorometric cell attachment assays together with competitive inhibitors of adhesion were used to probe for the presence of integrins, a diverse family of heterodimeric cell-surface glycoproteins involved in cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix adhesion, in the fibroblastic rainbow trout cell line, RTG-2. The adhesive properties of this cell line were evaluated. RTG-2 cells adhered poorly to TC plastic in the absence of serum but as little as 2.5% fetal bovine serum allowed over 75% of the cells to attach after 5 h. Surfaces coated with the extracellular matrix proteins collagen I, collagen IV, fibrin, fibrinogen, or fibronectin were able to support attachment of RTG-2 cells. Adhesion of RTG-2 cells to fibronectin varied linearly with fibronectin coating densities in the range 0 to 65 ng/mm(2). Oligopeptides containing the sequence Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) caused dose-dependent inhibition of adhesion to microtiter plates coated with fibrin, fibrinogen, and fibronectin, whereas attachment to collagen I and collagen IV was less severely affected. In all cases, peptides containing Arg-Gly-Glu (RGE) or Asp-Gly-Arg (DGR) sequences caused no reduction of cell attachment. Since many integrins mediate adhesion by binding to RGD sequences in their target ligands, these results suggest the presence of integrin-like adhesion molecules on the surface of RTG-2 cells.     

Beta 1 and beta 3 integrins have different roles in the adhesion and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells on extracellular matrix.

Extracellular matrix receptors on ductus arteriosus smooth muscle cells (SMC) must enable the cells to migrate through both interstitial and basement membrane matrices to form intimal mounds during postnatal ductus closure. We examined the role of beta 1 and beta 3 integrin receptors on SMC adhesion and migration. Using a new assay to measure cell migration, we found that lamb ductus arteriosus SMC attach to and migrate over surfaces coated with fibronectin (FN), laminin (LN), vitronectin (VN), and collagens I (I) and IV (IV). Blocking antibodies, specific to different integrin complexes, showed that SMC adhesion to FN, LN, I, and IV depended exclusively on functioning beta 1 integrins with little, if any, contribution by the alpha V beta 3 integrin; on the other hand, cell migration over these substrates depended to a large extent on the alpha V beta 3 receptor. Immunofluorescent staining demonstrated that during the early phase of SMC migration, the beta 1 integrins organized rapidly into focal plaques that, with time, gradually covered the cell's basal surface; on the other hand, the beta 3 receptor remained concentrated at all times at the cell's margins. Ligand affinity chromatography and immunoprecipitation techniques identified a unique series of beta 1 integrins binding to each matrix component: FN (alpha 5 beta 1, alpha 3 beta 1, alpha V beta 1), LN (alpha 1 beta 1, alpha 7 beta 1), VN (alpha V beta 1), I (alpha 1 beta 1, alpha 2 beta 1), and IV (alpha 1 beta 1). In contrast, the beta 3 integrin, alpha V beta 3, bound to all the substrates tested: FN, LN, VN, I, and IV. The results indicate that beta 1 and beta 3 integrins may play different roles in attachment and migration as SMC move through the vascular extracellular matrix to produce obliteration of the ductus arteriosus lumen.     

Selective adhesion of osteoblastic cells to different integrin ligands induces osteopontin gene expression.

Skeletal homeostasis is partly regulated by the mechanical environment and specific signals generated by a cell's adhesion to the matrix. Previous studies demonstrated that osteopontin (OPN) expression is stimulated in response to both cellular adhesion and mechanical stimulation. The present studies examine if specific integrin ligands mediate osteoblast selective adhesion and whether opn mRNA expression is induced in response to these same ligands. Embryonic chicken calvaria osteoblastic cells were plated on bacteriological dishes coated with fibronectin (FN), collagen type I (Col1), denatured collagen/gelatin (G), OPN, vitronectin (VN), laminin (LN) or albumin (BSA). Osteoblastic cells were shown to selectively adhere to FN, Col1, G and LN, yet not to VN, OPN or BSA. Opn mRNA expression was induced by adhesion to Col1, FN, LN and G, but neither OPN nor VN induced this expression. Examination of the activation of the protein kinases A and C second signaling systems showed that only adhesion to FN induced protein kinase A and protein kinase C (PKC) activity while adherence to Col1 induced PKC. Evaluation of the intracellular distribution of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and p-tyrosine within cells after adherence to FN, VN or BSA demonstrated that adherence to FN stimulated FAK translocation from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and high levels of p-tyrosine localization at the cell surface. However, cell adherence to VN or BSA did not show these morphological changes. These data illustrate that osteoblast selective adhesion is mediated by specific integrin ligands, and induction of intracellular second signal kinase activity is related to the nature of the ligand.     

The Effect of Extracellular Matrix Molecules on the in Vitro Behavior of Bovine Endothelial Cells

Extracellular matrix (ECM) is an important mediator of endothelial functions such as adhesion, spreading, migration, proliferation, and maintenance of differentiated functions. Attachment of cultured cells to tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS) is dependent on vitronectin which adsorbs onto the surface from the serum in the culture medium. Vitronectin (VN) will adsorb efficiently to TCPS even if the latter has been coated with another matrix molecule and blocked with albumin. This means that studies of the interactions of cells with individual coated ECM molecules will be confounded by the presence of adsorbed VN if serum is present in the culture medium. In this study, the adhesion, spreading, growth, and output of endogenous matrix molecules by bovine corneal endothelial (BCE) cells were measured on five different matrix substrates using medium which had been depleted of vitronectin to avoid such confounding effects. The same cell adhesion and spreading maxima were achieved on vitronectin, fibronectin (FN), laminin (LM), and types I and IV collagen (col I, col IV). The coating concentrations required to achieve these maxima, however, differed among the substrates, LM needing considerably higher concentrations than the other substrates for both maximal adhesion and spreading and FN needing higher concentrations for cell spreading. When cells were continuously passaged on each of the five substrates coated at concentrations optimal for cell spreading, no differences in cell proliferation rates or cell morphology were observed. Significant differences, however, were observed in the subcellular output of endogenous matrix molecules (FN, LM, col IV, and thrombospondin) between the different substrates. Col I was a poor substrate for the production of all ECM molecules tested over the 10 passages of the experiment, whereas col IV was a consistently good substrate. LM and FN substrates displayed differential effects on the output of different ECM molecules. VN was unique in that BCE cells at early passage on this substrate produced high levels of endogenous matrix molecules, whereas with continued passage on this substrate, a progressive decline in ECM secretion was observed. These results show that incorporation of individual molecules into the ECM by BCE cells in culture is significantly affected by the nature of the substratum. They further suggest that passage of endothelial cells in media containing serum (which results in coating of VN onto the substrate) may result in a progressive reduction of ECM output.     

Neural crest cell migration: requirements for exogenous fibronectin and high cell density

Cells of the neural crest participate in a major class of cell migratory events during embryonic development. From indirect evidence, it has been suggested that fibronectin (FN) might be involved in these events. We have directly tested the role of FN in neural crest cell adhesion and migration using several in vitro model systems. Avian trunk neural crest cells adhered readily to purified plasma FN substrates and to extracellular matrices containing cellular FN. Their adhesion was inhibited by antibodies to a cell-binding fragment of FN. In contrast, these cells did not adhere to glass, type I collagen, or to bovine serum albumin in the absence of FN. Neural crest cell adhesion to laminin (LN) was significantly less than to FN; however, culturing of crest cells under conditions producing an epithelioid phenotype resulted in cells that could bind equally as well to LN as to FN. The migration of neural crest cells appeared to depend on both the substrate and the extent of cell interactions. Cells migrated substantially more rapidly on FN than on LN or type I collagen substrates; if provided a choice between stripes of FN and glass or LN, cells migrated preferentially on the FN. Migration was inhibited by antibodies against the cell-binding region of FN, and the inhibition could be reversed by a subsequent addition of exogenous FN. However, the migration on FN was random and displayed little persistence of direction unless cells were at high densities that permitted frequent contacts. The in vitro rate of migration of cells on FN-containing matrices was 50 microns/h, similar to their migration rates along the narrow regions of FN-containing extracellular matrix in migratory pathways in vivo. These results indicate that FN is important for neural crest cell adhesion and migration and that the high cell densities of neural crest cells in the transient, narrow migratory pathways found in the embryo are necessary for effective directional migration.     

Adhesion properties of human bladder cell lines with extracellular matrix components: the role of integrins and glycosylation

Integrin subunits present on human bladder cells displayed heterogeneous functional specificity in adhesion to extracellular matrix proteins (ECM). The non-malignant cell line (HCV29) showed significantly higher adhesion efficiency to collagen IV, laminin (LN) and fibronectin (FN) than cancer (T24, Hu456) and v-raf transfected (BC3726) cell lines. Specific antibodies to the alpha(2), alpha(5) and beta(1) integrin subunits inhibited adhesion of the non-malignant cells, indicating these integrin participation in the adhesion to ECM proteins. In contrast, adhesion of cancer cells was not inhibited by specific antibodies to the beta(1) integrin subunit. Antibodies to alpha(3) integrin increased adhesion of cancer cells to collagen, LN and FN, but also of the HCV29 line with collagen. It seems that alpha(3) subunit plays a major role in modulation of other integrin receptors especially in cancer cells. Differences in adhesion to ECM proteins between the non-malignant and cancer cell lines in response to Gal and Fuc were not evident, except for the v-raf transfected cell line which showed a distinct about 6-fold increased adhesion to LN on addition of both saccharides. N-Acetylneuraminic acid inhibited adhesion of all cell lines to LN and FN irrespective of their malignancy.     

Interactions of a neuronal cell line (PC12) with laminin, collagen IV, and fibronectin: identification of integrin-related glycoproteins involved in attachment and process outgrowth

Neuronal responses to extracellular matrix (ECM) constituents are likely to play an important role in nervous system development and regeneration. We have studied the interactions of a neuron-like rat pheochromocytoma cell line, PC12, with ECM protein-coated substrates. Using a quantitative cell attachment assay, PC12 cells were shown to adhere readily to laminin (LN) or collagen IV (Col IV) but poorly to fibronectin (FN). The specificity of attachment to these ECM proteins was demonstrated using ligand-specific antibodies and synthetic peptides. To identify PC12 cell surface proteins that mediate interactions with LN, Col IV, and FN, two different antisera to putative ECM receptors purified from mammalian cells were tested for their effects on PC12 cell adhesion and neuritic process outgrowth. Antibodies to a 140-kD FN receptor heterodimer purified from Chinese hamster ovarian cells (anti-FNR; Brown, P. J., and R. L. Juliano, 1986, J. Cell Biol., 103:1595-1603) inhibited attachment to LN and FN but not to Col IV. Antibodies to an ECM receptor preparation purified from baby hamster kidney fibroblastic cells (anti-ECMR; Knudsen, K. A., P. E. Rao, C. H. Damsky, and C. A. Buck, 1981, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA., 78:6071-6075) inhibited attachment to LN, FN, and Col IV, but did not prevent attachment to other adhesive substrates. In addition to its effects on adhesion, the anti-ECMR serum inhibited both PC12 cell and sympathetic neuronal process outgrowth on LN substrates. Immunoprecipitation of surface-iodinated or [3H]glucosamine-labeled PC12 cells with either the anti-FNR or anti-ECMR serum identified three prominent cell surface glycoproteins of 120, 140, and 180 kD under nonreducing conditions. The 120-kD glycoprotein, which could be labeled with 32P-orthophosphate and appeared to be noncovalently associated with the 140- and 180-kD proteins, cross reacted with antibodies to the beta-subunit (band 3) of the avian integrin complex, itself a receptor or receptors for the ECM constituents LN, FN, and some collagens.     

Extracellular matrix components influence the survival of adult cardiac myocytes in vitro

Calcium-tolerant myocytes were isolated from adult rat hearts by collagenase perfusion and plated on various substrates in serum-free medium and their adhesion to various extracellular matrix (ECM) components was determined. The myocytes attached readily to dishes coated with collagen type IV (C-IV), laminin (LN), and to fetal bovine serum (FBS) in a manner dependent on the concentration of the components. Substantially fewer myocytes adhered to dishes coated with fibronectin (FN) or to uncoated plastic dishes. Cells adhered equally well to dishes coated with C-IV, LN and FBS within 1-4 h. However, when examined after 2 weeks in culture it was found that only C-IV and LN could support survival of the attached myocytes, and when cultured on C-IV or LN the myocytes were spread and had formed a dense monolayer. The actin filaments had at this time reorganized linearly along the long axis of the cell and the myocytes contracted spontaneously. Rabbit antibodies were raised against myocyte membranes and their ability to inhibit attachment to ECM components was studied. Purified IgG inhibited attachment to C-IV, while having only a minor effect on attachment to LN. These data are compatible with the presence of a specific cell surface component(s) that interacts with ECM substrates and influences cell shape and possibly thereby influences cellular functions.
