Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) migrate to sites of inflammation or injury in response to chemoattractants released at those sites. The presence of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins at these sites may influence PMN accumulation at blood vessel walls and enhance their ability to move through tissue. Thrombospondin (TSP), a 450-kD ECM protein whose major proteolytic fragments are a COOH-terminal 140-kD fragment and an NH2-terminal heparin-binding domain (HBD), is secreted by platelets, endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells. TSP binds specifically to PMN surface receptors and has been shown, in other cell types, to promote directed movement. TSP in solution at low concentrations (30-50 nM) "primed" PMNs for f-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP)- mediated chemotaxis, increasing the response two- to fourfold. A monoclonal antibody against the HBD of TSP totally abolished this priming effect suggesting that the priming activity resides in the HBD of TSP. Purified HBD retains the priming activity of TSP thereby corroborating the antibody data. TSP alone, in solution at high concentrations (0.5-3.0 microM), stimulated chemotaxis of PMNs and required both the HBD and the 140-kD fragment of TSP. In contrast to TSP in solution, TSP bound to nitrocellulose filters in the range of 20- 70 pmol stimulated random locomotion of PMNs. The number of PMNs migrating in response to bound TSP was approximately two orders of magnitude greater than the number of cells that exhibited chemotaxis in response to soluble TSP or fMLP. Monoclonal antibody C6.7, which recognizes an epitope near the carboxyl terminus of TSP, blocked migration stimulated by bound TSP, suggesting that the activity resides in this domain. Using proteolytic fragments, we demonstrated that bound 140-kD fragment, but not HBD, promoted migration of PMNs. Therefore, TSP released at injury sites, alone or in synergy with chemotactic peptides like fMLP, could play a role in directing PMN movement. 相似文献

The active migration of tumor cells through extracellular matrices has been proposed to play a role in certain aspects of metastasis. Metastatic tumor cells migrate in vitro in response to substratum-bound adhesive glycoproteins such as fibronectin. The present studies use affinity-purified proteolytic fragments of fibronectin to determine the nature of adhesion- and/or motility-promoting domains within the protein. Two distinct fragments were identified with cell adhesion-promoting activities. By a number of criteria, the adhesive activity promoted by these two fragments was distinct. One fragment, a 75-kD tryptic fragment purified by monoclonal antibody chromatography, promoted the adhesion, spreading, and haptotactic motility of melanoma cells. Experiments using a synthetic cell attachment peptide in solution indicated that at least part of the attachment activity exhibited by the 75-kD fragment is mediated by the sequence arg-gly-asp-ser. It was not possible to demonstrate migration-stimulating activity using a small (11.5 kD) peptic fragment containing this sequence (Pierschbacher, M.D., E. G. Hayman, and E. Ruoslahti, 1981, Cell, 26:259-267) suggesting that another cell-binding activity within the 75 kD fragment distinct from arg-gly-asp-ser might be required for motility. The second fragment that stimulated melanoma adhesion was a 33-kD tryptic/catheptic carboxyl-terminal heparin-binding fragment, which is localized to the A chain of fibronectin. This fragment promotes adhesion and spreading but not the motility of these cells. Melanoma adhesion to this heparin-binding fragment was sensitive to the effects of cycloheximide, which contrasted adhesion to the haptotaxis-promoting fragment. Importantly, these studies illustrate that haptotaxis in response to fibronectin is not due to simple adhesion gradients of this protein. The results are discussed in light of a model for multiple distinct cell surface constituents mediating cell adhesion and motility on fibronectin. 相似文献

Human platelet thrombospondin adsorbed on plastic promotes attachment and spreading of human G361 melanoma cells. Attachment is rapid, and spreading is maximal by 90 min with 60-90% of the attached cells spread. In contrast, thrombospondin promotes attachment but not spreading of human C32 melanoma cells, which attach and spread only on laminin substrates. The specificity of these interactions and the regions of the thrombospondin molecule involved in attachment and spreading were examined using proteolytic fragments of thrombospondin and by inhibition studies. The sulfated fucan, fucoidan, and monoclonal antibody A2.5, which is directed against the heparin-binding domain of thrombospondin, selectively inhibit spreading but only weakly inhibit attachment. Monoclonal antibodies against some other domains of thrombospondin, however, are potent inhibitors of attachment. The amino-terminal heparin-binding domain of thrombospondin does not promote attachment. Large fragments lacking the heparin-binding domain support attachment but not spreading of G361 cells. Attachment activity is lost following removal of the 18-kD carboxyl-terminal domain. These results suggest that at least two melanoma ligands are involved in cell attachment and spreading on thrombospondin. The carboxyl-terminal region and perhaps other regions of the molecule bind to receptor(s) on the melanoma surface that promote initial attachment but not cell spreading. Interaction of the heparin-binding domain with sulfated glycoconjugates on melanoma surface proteoglycans and/or sulfated glycolipids mediates spreading. Monoclonal antibodies A2.5 and C6.7 also reverse spreading of G361 cells growing on glass culture substrates, suggesting that binding to thrombospondin mediates attachment of these melanoma cells in culture. 相似文献

Fibronectin (FN) is a multidomain extracellular matrix protein that induces attachment and chemotactic migration of fibroblastic cells. In this study we analyzed the molecular determinants involved in the FN-induced chemotactic migration of normal and SV40-transformed 3T3 cells. Two different monoclonal antibodies to the cell-binding site of FN blocked chemotaxis to a 140-kD FN fragment (Ca 140) containing the cell-binding domain. A monoclonal antibody to a determinant distant from the cell-binding site did not affect chemotaxis. A synthetic tetrapeptide, RGDS, which represents the major cell-attachment sequence, was able to compete with FN and the Ca 140 fragment in chemotaxis assays, but this peptide itself had no significant chemotactic activity. A larger peptide encompassing this sequence, GRGDSP, was chemotactic, while the peptide GRGESP, where a glutamic acid residue was substituted for aspartic acid, was inactive. Chemotactic migration could be prevented in a dose-dependent manner by a rabbit polyclonal antiserum to a 140-kD cell surface FN receptor. This antibody was more effective on normal than on transformed 3T3 cells. Neither the anti-FN receptor antiserum nor a monoclonal antibody to the cell-binding site of FN blocked migration induced by another potent chemoattractant, platelet-derived growth factor. These data indicate that FN-induced chemotaxis of 3T3 and SV3T3 cells is mediated via the RGDS cell-attachment site of FN and the 140-kD cell surface FN receptor. The interaction is specific and can be altered by transformation. 相似文献

Transduction of signals initiating motility by extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules differed depending on the type of matrix molecule and whether the ligand was in solution or bound to a substratum. Laminin, fibronectin, and type IV collagen stimulated both chemotaxis and haptotaxis of the A2058 human melanoma cell line. Peak chemotactic responses were reached at 50-200 nM for laminin, 50-100 nM for fibronectin, and 200-370 nM for type IV collagen. Checkerboard analysis of each attractant in solution demonstrated a predominantly directional (chemotactic) response, with a minor chemokinetic component. The cells also migrated in a concentration-dependent manner to insoluble step gradients of substratum-bound attractant (haptotaxis). The haptotactic responses reached maximal levels at coating concentrations of 20 nM for laminin and type IV collagen, and from 30 to 45 nM for fibronectin. Pretreatment of cells with the protein synthesis inhibitor, cycloheximide (5 micrograms/ml), resulted in a 5-30% inhibition of both chemotactic and haptotactic responses to each matrix protein, indicating that de novo protein synthesis was not required for a significant motility response. Pretreatment of cells with 50-500 micrograms/ml of synthetic peptides containing the fibronectin cell-recognition sequence GRGDS resulted in a concentration-dependent inhibition of fibronectin-mediated chemotaxis and haptotaxis (70-80% inhibition compared to control motility); negative control peptide GRGES had only a minimal effect. Neither GRGDS nor GRGES significantly inhibited motility to laminin or type IV collagen. Therefore, these results support a role for the RGD-directed integrin receptor in both types of motility response to fibronectin. After pretreatment with pertussis toxin (PT), chemotactic responses to laminin, fibronectin, and type IV collagen were distinctly different. Chemotaxis to laminin was intermediate in sensitivity; chemotaxis to fibronectin was completely insensitive; and chemotaxis to type IV collagen was profoundly inhibited by PT. In marked contrast to the inhibition of chemotaxis, the hepatotactic responses to all three ligands were unaffected by any of the tested concentrations of PT. High concentrations of cholera toxin (CT; 10 micrograms/ml) or the cAMP analogue, 8-Br-cAMP (0.5 mM), did not significantly affect chemotactic or haptotactic motility to any of the attractant proteins, ruling out the involvement of cAMP in the biochemical pathway initiating motility in these cells. The sensitivity of chemotaxis induced by laminin and type IV collagen, but not fibronectin, to PT indicates the involvement of a PT-sensitive G protein in transduction of the signals initiating motility to soluble laminin and type IV collagen.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

The Boyden chamber assay provides a convenient method of assessing cell migration and measuring cell motility coefficients at the population level. Previous models of this assay completely ignore cell sedimentation in the suspension, assuming that all cells have already settled on the filter surface before commencing migration within the filter. However, ignoring cell sedimentation could lead to poor data interpretation because the time required for cells to settle through the suspension is close to the incubation period of only a few hours. This study models the Boyden chamber assay by incorporating the cell settling process to account for the cells remaining in the upper well when other cells migrate in the filter. The simulations in this study elucidate the experiments in the literature that test the haptotactic and chemotactic responses of rabbit chondrocytes to type II collagen. This study determines the cell population random motility, as well as the haptotaxis and chemotaxis coefficients, by fitting the experimental data. Results show that the chemotactic motility coefficient is 100 times greater than the haptotactic coefficient, and the equilibrium collagen-receptor dissociation constant is about 10-fold the haptotactic counterpart. Diffusion causes the soluble collagen gradients in the chemotactic case to decline over time, while the coated collagen gradients in the haptotactic assay are likely to remain fixed. As a result, the chemotactic case exhibits a lower number of migrated cells than the haptotactic assay. This study also demonstrates the influences of the dimensionless parameters that control cell behavior in the Boyden assay, providing a reference for future experiment designs. 相似文献

The interaction of migrating newt epidermal cells with the extracellular matrix protein, fibronectin, was studied. Pieces of nitrocellulose coated with intact human plasma fibronectin or proteolytically derived fragments were implanted into wounded limbs so that the coated nitrocellulose served as wound bed for migrating epidermal cells as they attempted to form a wound epithelium. Epidermal cells migrated very poorly on nitrocellulose pieces coated with (a) a 27-kD amino-terminal heparin-binding fragment, (b) a 46-kD gelatin-binding fragment, (c) a combined 33- and 66-kD carboxy-terminal heparin-binding preparation representing peptide sequences in the A and B chains, respectively, or (d) a 31-kD carboxy-terminal fragment from the A chain, containing a free sulfhydryl group. In contrast, epidermal cells readily migrated onto nitrocellulose coated with a mixture of fragments from the middle of the molecule (80-125kD) that bind neither heparin nor gelatin. Attempts to block migration on fibronectin-coated nitrocellulose using IB10, a monoclonal antibody that blocks Chinese hamster ovary cell attachment to fibronectin, were unsuccessful despite saturation of the epitope against which IB10 is directed. In contrast, a polyclonal anti-fibronectin antibody did inhibit migration. These results show that the ability of fibronectin to support newt epidermal cell migration is not shared equally by all regions of the molecule, but is restricted to a domain in the middle third. They also suggest that the site supporting migration is separate and distinct from the site mediating Chinese hamster ovary cell attachment. 相似文献

Tumor cell attachment to thrombospondin (TSP) in the extracellular matrix may be of critical importance in the processes of invasion and hematogenous dissemination. To determine the specific receptor systems that mediate the interaction of tumor cells with insoluble TSP, the attachment of HT1080 fibrosarcoma and C32 and G361 melanoma cells to TSP-coated discs was studied in the presence of heparin, Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser, or antibodies to glycoprotein (GP) IV (CD36, GPIIIb), a TSP receptor. HT1080 and C32 cell attachment to TSP was inhibited by the combination of heparin and a monoclonal (or polyclonal) antibody to GPIV but not by either alone. Heparin alone inhibited cell spreading. Neither control monoclonal antibodies nor the cell attachment peptide Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser inhibited tumor cell attachment to TSP, alone or in the presence of heparin. HT1080 cells attached equally as well to a 140-kDa proteolytic TSP fragment lacking the heparin-binding domain as to intact TSP. A monoclonal antibody to GPIV alone inhibited tumor cell attachment to the heparin-domainless 140-kDa TSP fragment. No attachment to the heparin-binding fragment was observed, but the addition of the heparin fragment to 140-kDa heparin-domainless TSP restored the heparin sensitivity of binding. G361 cells that lack GPIV attached well to TSP but were not inhibited by heparin or anti-GPIV alone or in combination. The combination of heparin and Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser inhibited G361 attachment to TSP. These studies suggest that tumor cells may utilize separate receptor systems in a cooperative manner to adhere to TSP. HT1080 fibrosarcoma and C32 melanoma cells utilize GPIV in concert with a heparin-modulated binding systems to attach and spread on TSP. G361 cells, which lack GPIV expression, attach and spread on TSP using an integrin system as well as a heparin-modulated system. 相似文献

Mechanism of fibronectin (FN)-induced chemotaxis of fibroblastic cells has not been fully understood. The present study was performed to establish a molecular nature of the chemotactic region of rat plasma FN. The chemotactic dose-response pattern of intact FN for mouse embryo fibroblastic cells, NIH-L13 cells, which was represented as a "bell-shape" curve with a maximum activity at around 50 nM, changed to a "biphasic" mode through a proteolysis with thermolysin. Two distinct chemotactic components were isolated from the thermolytic fragments. One component, a fragment with a molecular mass of 110-150 kDa, was estimated to contain the central cell-binding domain and the carboxyl-terminal heparin-binding domain of the intact FN molecule. Cell migration stimulated by the 110-150-kDa fragment increased successively in a dose-dependent manner, and the capability to promote the migration was much higher than that of the intact FN (over 2-fold). The second chemotactic component, a fragment with a molecular mass of 21 kDa, was shown to reside in the carboxyl-terminal fibrin-binding domain. The 21-kDa fragment produced a bell-shape dose-response pattern, being consistent with the intact FN, whereas a maximum response occurred at a 100-fold lower concentration (0.5 nM) than that of the intact FN molecule. At higher concentrations, this fragment revealed an inhibitory activity for the cell migration in response to the 110-150-kDa fragment. No significant molecular interaction between these two active components was observed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under nondenaturing conditions, suggesting that the 21-kDa fragment may act directly on the cell to inhibit the cell migration. These results suggest that rat plasma FN contains at least two chemotactically active components that regulate cooperatively chemotactic migration of fibroblastic cells. 相似文献

Keratinocytes and other epithelial cells express two receptors for the basement membrane (BM) extracellular matrix component laminin-5 (Ln-5), integrins alpha 3 beta 1 and alpha 6 beta 4. While alpha 3 beta 1 mediates adhesion, spreading, and migration (Kreidberg, J.A. 2000. Curr. Opin. Cell Biol. 12:548--553), alpha 6 beta 4 is involved in BM anchorage via hemidesmosomes (Borradori, L., and A. Sonnenberg. 1999. J. Invest. Dermatol. 112:411--418). We investigated a possible regulatory interplay between alpha 3 beta 1 and alpha 6 beta 4 in cell motility using HaCaT keratinocytes as a model. We found that alpha 6 beta 4 antibodies inhibit alpha 3 beta 1-mediated migration on Ln-5, but only when migration is haptotactic (i.e., spontaneous or stimulated by alpha 3 beta 1 activation), and not when chemotactic (i.e., triggered by epidermal growth factor receptor). Inhibition of migration by alpha 6 beta 4 depends upon phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-K) since it is abolished by PI3-K blockers and by dominant-negative PI3-K, and constitutively active PI3-K prevents haptotaxis. In HaCaT cells incubated with anti-alpha 6 beta 4 antibodies, activation of PI3-K is mediated by alpha 6 beta 4-associated erbB-2, as indicated by erbB-2 autophosphorylation and erbB-2/p85 PI3-K coprecipitation. Furthermore, dominant-negative erbB-2 abolishes inhibition of haptotaxis by anti-alpha 6 beta 4 antibodies. These results support a model whereby (a) haptotactic cell migration on Ln-5 is regulated by concerted action of alpha 3beta 1 and alpha 6 beta 4 integrins, (b) alpha 6 beta 4-associated erbB-2 and PI3-K negatively affect haptotaxis, and (c) chemotaxis on Ln-5 is not affected by alpha 6 beta 4 antibodies and may require PI3-K activity. This model could be of general relevance to motility of epithelial cells in contact with BM. 相似文献

In addition to mediating cell adhesion, fibronectin (FN) also affects the migration of different cell types. However, the role of FN in lymphocyte migration is unclear. In this study, we examined the effects of FN on the in vitro migration of lymphocytes. Using the checkerboard analysis in a blind-well microchemotaxis assay, soluble FN was determined to have neither a chemotactic nor chemokinetic effect on spleen or thymus lymphocytes. However, when the nitrocellulose filter was coated unidirectionally with FN, the migration of both spleen and thymus lymphocytes into the filter was enhanced, indicating that FN is haptotactic for lymphocytes. When the filter was coated bidirectionally, no enhancement in migration was observed, indicating that FN is not haptokinetic for lymphocytes. When the FN cell-binding domain and the heparin-binding domain were tested, the cell-binding domain was haptotactic for both spleen and thymus lymphocytes, whereas the heparin-binding domain was only haptotactic for spleen lymphocytes. Because the heparin-binding domain can mediate strong adhesion of thymus lymphocytes, the lack of haptotactic activity is likely to be the result of excessive binding that prevents cell motility. 相似文献

Thrombospondin is an inhibitor of angiogenesis that modulates endothelial cell adhesion, proliferation, and motility. Synthetic peptides from the second type I repeat of human thrombospondin containing the consensus sequence -Trp-Ser-Pro-Trp- and a recombinant heparin binding fragment from the amino-terminus of thrombospondin mimic several of the activities of the intact protein. The peptides and heparin-binding domain promote endothelial cell adhesion, inhibit endothelial cell chemotaxis to basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and inhibit mitogenesis and proliferation of aortic and corneal endothelial cells. The peptides also inhibit heparin-dependent binding of bFGF to corneal endothelial cells. The antiproliferative activities of the peptides correlate with their ability to bind to heparin and to inhibit bFGF binding to heparin. Peptides containing amino acid substitutions that eliminate heparin-binding do not alter chemotaxis or proliferation of endothelial cells. Inhibition of proliferation by the peptide is time-dependet and reversible. Thus, the antiproliferative activities of the thrombospondin peptides and recombinant heparin-binding domain result at least in part from competition with heparin-dependent growth factors for binding to endothelial cell proteoglycans. These results suggest that both the Trp-Ser-Xaa-Trp sequences in the type I repeats and the amino-terminal domain play roles in the antiproliferative activity of thrombospondin. 相似文献

Cell migration is essential for both organogenesis and tumor progression. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are reported to be critical for not only bone formation but also tumor invasion. Here, we found that treatment with recombinant human BMP-2 (rhBMP-2) enhanced the haptotactic response of murine osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 and osteosarcoma Dunn cells to various extracellular matrix (ECM) components, including fibronectin, type I collagen, and laminin-1. Function-blocking antibody against integrin alpha5beta1 partially inhibited haptotaxis to fibronectin, suggesting that the response was propagated via these integrins. rhBMP-2 slightly increased the expression level of integrin beta1, and enhanced the speed of cell spreading on fibronectin, focal adhesion formation and phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) at Tyr397. By means of sucrose gradient flotation, incorporation of integrin beta1 in fractions of detergent (CHAPS) resistant membrane was increased when the cells were treated with rhBMP-2. Further, treatment with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin to deplete membrane cholesterol abrogated the effect of rhBMP-2 on haptotaxis, and exogenously added cholesterol reversed this inhibitory effect. Collectively, these results provide insights into the mechanism by which BMP signaling enhances cell migration by modulating fibronectin-integrin beta1 signaling via cholesterol enriched membrane microdomains, lipid rafts. 相似文献

We have compared the molecular specificities of the adhesive interactions of melanoma and fibroblastic cells with fibronectin. Several striking differences were found in the sensitivity of the two cell types to inhibition by a series of synthetic peptides modeled on the Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (RGDS) tetrapeptide adhesion signal. Further evidence for differences between the melanoma and fibroblastic cell adhesion systems was obtained by examining adhesion to proteolytic fragments of fibronectin. Fibroblastic BHK cells spread readily on fl3, a 75-kD fragment representing the RGDS-containing, "cell-binding" domain of fibronectin, but B16-F10 melanoma cells could not. The melanoma cells were able to spread instead on f9, a 113-kD fragment derived from the large subunit of fibronectin that contains at least part of the type III connecting segment difference region (or "V" region); f7, a fragment from the small fibronectin subunit that lacks this alternatively spliced polypeptide was inactive. Monoclonal antibody and fl3 inhibition experiments confirmed the inability of the melanoma cells to use the RGDS sequence; neither molecule affected melanoma cell spreading, but both completely abrogated fibroblast adhesion. By systematic analysis of a series of six overlapping synthetic peptides spanning the entire type III connecting segment, a novel attachment site was identified in a peptide near the COOH- terminus of this region. The tetrapeptide sequence Arg-Glu-Asp-Val (REDV), which is somewhat related to RGDS, was present in this peptide in a highly hydrophilic region of the type III connecting segment. REDV appeared to be functionally important, since this synthetic tetrapeptide was inhibitory for melanoma cell adhesion to fibronectin but was inactive for fibroblastic cell adhesion. REDV therefore represents a novel adhesive recognition signal in fibronectin that possesses cell type specificity. These results suggest that, for some cell types, regulation of the adhesion-promoting activity of fibronectin may occur by alternative mRNA splicing. 相似文献

During angiogenesis endothelial cells migrate towards a chemotactic stimulus. Understanding the mechanism of endothelial cell migration is critical to the therapeutic manipulation of angiogenesis and ultimately cancer prevention. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent chemotactic stimulus of endothelial cells during angiogenesis. The endothelial cell signal transduction pathway of VEGF represents a potential target for cancer therapy, but the mechanisms of post-receptor signal transduction including the roles of rho family GTPases in regulating the cytoskeletal effects of VEGF in endothelial cells are not understood.
Here we analyze the mechanisms of cell migration in the mouse brain endothelial cell line (bEND3). Stable transfectants containing a tetracycline repressible expression vector were used to induce expression of Rac mutants. Endothelial cell haptotaxis was stimulated by constitutively active V12Rac on collagen and vitronectin coated supports, and chemotaxis was further stimulated by VEGF. Osteopontin coated supports were the most stimulatory to bEND3 haptotaxis, but VEGF was not effective in further increasing migration on osteopontin coated supports. Haptotaxis on support coated with collagen, vitronectin, and to a lesser degree osteopontin was inhibited by N17 Rac. N17 Rac expression blocked stimulation of endothelial cell chemotaxis by VEGF. As part of the chemotactic stimulation, VEGF caused a loss of actin organization at areas of cell-cell contact and increased stress fiber expression in endothelial cells which were directed towards pores in the transwell membrane. N17 Rac prevented the stimulation of cell-cell contact disruption and the stress fiber stimulation by VEGF.
These data demonstrate two pathways of regulating endothelial cell motility, one in which Rac is activated by matrix/integrin stimulation and is a crucial modulator of endothelial cell haptotaxis. The other pathway, in the presence of osteopontin, is Rac independent. VEGF stimulated chemotaxis, is critically dependent on Rac activation. Osteopontin was a potent matrix activator of motility, and perhaps one explanation for the absence of a VEGF plus osteopontin effect is that osteopontin stimulated motility was inhibitory to the Rac pathway. 相似文献

Thrombospondin and a 140 kd fragment promote adhesion and neurite outgrowth from embryonic central and peripheral neurons and from PC12 cells 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The ability of thrombospondin (TSP), an extracellular matrix glycoprotein, and two proteolytic fragments to support adhesion and neurite outgrowth from embryonic dorsal root ganglia, spinal cord neurons, and PC12 cells was examined. Anti-TSP antibodies or a synthetic peptide (GRGDS) containing an RGD cell-binding region was also added to cells plated on TSP. TSP and its 140 kd fragment were more efficient than laminin controls in supporting adhesion. Neurites formed on laminin, on varying concentrations of TSP, and particularly the 140 kd fragment. The amino-terminal heparin-binding domain supported little adhesion and outgrowth. Both adhesion and process outgrowth on TSP were inhibited by addition of anti-TSP antibodies, but not GRGDS. 相似文献

We utilized recombinant fibronectin polypeptides with cell-binding domain and heparin-binding domains (referred to as C-274 and H-271, respectively) and their fusion polypeptide (CH-271) to examine the role of sulfated polysaccharide heparin and/or the functional domains of fibronectin in modulating tumor cell behavior. Both C-274 and CH-271 polypeptides with cell-binding domains promoted the adhesion and migration of B16-BL6 melanoma cells, whereas H-271 did not. Heparin bound to the immobilized polypeptides with heparin-binding domain (H-271, CH-271, and a mixture of C-274 and H-271 or fibronectin) but did not affect the tumor cell adhesion to the substrates. At the same time, heparin or two monoclonal antibodies against the heparin-binding domain were able to inhibit the haptotactic migration to CH-271 or fibronectin, though not to C-274 or a mixture of C-274 and H-271. This suggests that although heparin did not affect tumor cell adhesion to the cell-binding domain near the heparin-binding domain in CH-271 or fibronectin, it did lead to a modulation of cell motility. It seems likely that the regulatory mechanism may depend on interaction between heparin-like molecules on the cell surface and the heparin-binding domain in fibronectin, rather than on simple steric hindrance or on the masking of the cell-binding domain caused by the binding of heparin to heparin-binding domain. 相似文献

The migration of tumor cells through basement membranes and extracellular matrices is an integral component of tumor invasion and metastasis. Laminin and fibronectin are two basement membrane- and extracellular matrix-associated noncollagenous glycoproteins that have been shown to promote both cell adhesion and motility. Purified preparations of laminin and fibronectin stimulated the directed migration of B16 murine metastatic melanoma cells in vitro as assessed in modified Boyden chambers. The stimulation of migration occurred over a concentration range of 1-100 micrograms/ml of laminin or fibronectin, with a peak response occurring between 12.5 and 25 micrograms/ml. The maximal response of these cells was 80-120-fold higher than control migration. Affinity-purified antibody preparations specifically abrogated the migration of these cells in response to the respective proteins. Tumor cells in suspension were preincubated in physiologic levels of plasma fibronectin prior to assay to partially mimic what occurs when a metastasizing cell is in the blood stream. This preincubation with plasma fibronectin had no effect on the subsequent migration of cells in response to either laminin or fibronectin. Furthermore, experiments using filters precoated with fibronectin or laminin indicated that these cells could migrate by haptotaxis to these two proteins. We conclude that tumor cell migration in response to such noncollagenous adhesive glycoproteins could be an important aspect in the invasion and metastasis of certain malignant cell types. 相似文献

Localization and chemical synthesis of fibronectin peptides with melanoma adhesion and heparin binding activities 总被引:24,自引:0,他引:24
Tumor cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix is an important consideration in tumor metastasis. Recent results show that multiple adhesion-promoting domains for melanoma cells can be purified from proteolytic digests of fibronectin [McCarthy, J. B., Hagen, S. T., & Furcht, L. T. (1986) J. Cell Biol. 102, 179-188]. Monoclonal antibodies were generated against a tryptic/catheptic 33K heparin binding fragment of fibronectin derived from the carboxyl terminal of the A chain. This region contains a tumor cell adhesion-promoting domain(s). The amino-terminal sequence was determined for this fragment, as well as a tryptic 31K fragment which is located to the carboxyl-terminal side of the 33K heparin binding fragment in A chains of fibronectin. The partial sequence data demonstrate that arginyl-glycyl-aspartyl-serine (RGDS) or the related arginyl-glutamyl-aspartyl-valine (REDV) is not present in the 33K heparin binding fragment, confirming earlier results which demonstrated that cells adhere to this fragment by an RGDS-independent mechanism. Two monoclonal antibodies, termed AHB-1 and AHB-2, recognized epitopes common to heparin binding fragments derived from the carboxyl terminus of both the A and B chains of fibronectin. Monoclonal antibody AHB-2 inhibited melanoma adhesion to the 33K heparin binding fragment of fibronectin in a concentration-dependent manner, whereas monoclonal antibody AHB-1 had no effect on adhesion to this fragment. Neither monoclonal antibody inhibited adhesion to intact fibronectin. However, monoclonal AHB-2 potentiated the inhibitory effect of suboptimal levels of exogenous RGDS on cell adhesion to intact fibronectin. AHB-2 recognized an epitope common to both the A- and B-chain carboxyl-terminal heparin binding region of fibronectin.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献
