Abstract Laminins are αβγ heterotrimeric extracellular proteins that regulate cellular functions by adhesion to integrin and nonintegrin receptors. Laminins containing α4 and α5 chains are expressed in bone marrow, but their interactions with hematopoietic progenitors are unknown. We studied human bone marrow cell adhesion to laminin-10/11 (α5β1γ1/α5β2γ1), laminin-8 (α4β1γ1), laminin-1 (α1β1γ1), and fibronectin. About 35% to 40% of CD34+ and CD34+CD38− stem and progenitor cells adhered to laminin-10/11, and 45% to 50% adhered to fibronectin, whereas they adhered less to laminin-8 and laminin-1. Adhesion of CD34+CD38− cells to laminin-10/11 was maximal without integrin activation, whereas adhesion to other proteins was dependent on protein kinase C activation by 12-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Fluorescence-activated cell-sorting (FACS) analysis showed expression of integrin α6 chain on most CD34+ and CD34+CD38−cells. Integrin α6 and β1 chains were involved in binding of both cell fractions to laminin-10/11 and laminin-8. Laminin-10/11 was highly adhesive to lineage-committed myelomonocytic and erythroid progenitor cells and most lymphoid and myeloid cell lines studied, whereas laminin-8 was less adhesive. In functional assays, both laminin-8 and laminin-10/11 facilitated stromal-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α)–stimulated transmigration of CD34+ cells, by an integrin α6 receptor–mediated mechanism. In conclusion, we demonstrate laminin isoform–specific adhesive interactions with human bone marrow stem, progenitor, and more differentiated cells. The cell-adhesive laminins affected migration of hematopoietic progenitors, suggesting a physiologic role for laminins during hematopoiesis.

The laminin family of proteins is critical for managing a variety of cellular activities including migration, adhesion, and differentiation. In bone, the roles of laminins in controlling osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) are unknown. We report here that laminin-5 is found in bone and expressed by hMSC. hMSC isolated from bone synthesize laminin-5 and adhere to exogenous laminin-5 through α3β1 integrin. Adhesion to laminin-5 activates extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) within 30 min and leads to phosphorylation of the osteogenic transcription factor Runx2/CBFA-1 within 8 d. Cells plated on laminin-5 for 16 d express increased levels of osteogenic marker genes, and those plated for 21 d deposit a mineralized matrix, indicative of osteogenic differentiation. Addition of the ERK inhibitor PD98059 mitigates these effects. We conclude that contact with laminin-5 is sufficient to activate ERK and to stimulate osteogenic differentiation in hMSC.

Full textAbstract:
In the present study, to further elucidate the molecular events that control neural crest cell migration, we have analyzed in vitro the adhesive and locomotory response of avian trunk neural crest cells to laminin-1 and searched for the integrin receptors involved in this process. Adhesion of crest cells on laminin-1 was comparable to that found on fibronectin or vitronectin. By contrast, migration was significantly greater on laminin-1 than on the other substrate molecules. Interaction of crest cells with laminin-1 involved two major cell-binding domains situated in different portions of the molecule, namely the E1′ and E8 fragments, which elicited different cellular responses. Cells were poorly spread on the E1′ fragment whereas, on E8, they were extremely flattened and cohesive. Either fragment supported cell locomotion, albeit not as efficiently as laminin-1. Immunoprecipitation and immunocytochemistry analyses revealed that crest cells expressed the alpha1beta1, alpha3beta1, alpha6beta1 and alpha vbeta3 integrins, as well as beta8 integrins, as presumptive laminin-1 receptors, but not alpha6beta4 and alpha2beta1. Immunofluorescence labeling of cultured cells showed that the alpha1, alpha v, beta1 and beta3 subunits were diffuse on the cell surface and in focal contacts. In contrast, alpha3 and beta8 were diffuse, while alpha6 was mostly intracytoplasmic and, secondarily, in focal contacts. Inhibition assays of cell adhesion and migration with function-perturbing antibodies demonstrated that alpha1beta1 played a predominant role in both adhesion and migration on laminin-1 and interacted with either binding sites in the E1′ and E8 fragments. Alpha vbeta3 was also implicated in neural crest cell migration. In contrast, alpha3beta1, alpha6beta1 and the beta8 integrins appeared to play only subsidiary roles in cell adhesion and migration. Finally, the ability of neural crest cells to interact with laminin-1 was found to increase with time in culture, possibly in correlation with changes in alpha3 distribution on the cell surface. In conclusion, our study indicates that (1) the preferential migration of neural crest cells along basal laminae can be accounted for by the ability of laminin-1 to promote migration with great efficiency; (2) interaction with laminin-1 involves two major cell binding domains that are both recognized by the alpha1beta1 integrin; (3) alpha1beta1 integrin can elicit different cellular responses depending on the laminin-1 domains with which it interacts; and (4) changes in the repertoire of integrins expressed by neural crest cells are consistent with the modulations of cell-substratum adhesion occurring throughout migration.

Full textAbstract:
The ligand specificity of the alpha 3A beta 1 integrin was analyzed using K562 cells transfected with full-length alpha 3A cDNA and was compared with that of alpha 6A beta 1 in similarly transfected K562 cells. Clones were obtained that showed comparable surface expression of either alpha 3A beta 1 or alpha 6A beta 1 integrins. Those expressing alpha 3A beta 1 attached to and spread on immunopurified human kalinin and cellular matrices containing human kalinin, which is a particular isoform of laminin. In addition, alpha 3A transfectants adhered to bovine kidney laminins possessing a novel A chain variant. Binding to kalinin was blocked by a monoclonal antibody against the A chain constituent of kalinin and adhesion to both kalinin and kidney laminins by anti-alpha 3 and beta 1 monoclonal antibodies. The alpha 3A transfected cells bound more strongly to kalinin and bovine kidney laminins after treatment with the beta 1 stimulatory antibody TS2/16. A distinctly weaker and activation-dependent adhesion of alpha 3A transfectants was observed on human placental laminins possessing the Am chain variant (merosin), and no adhesion occurred on bovine heart laminins and murine EHS tumor laminin. Further inactive substrates were fibronectin, nidogen, and collagen types IV and VI, indicating that the alpha 3A beta 1 integrin is a much less promiscuous receptor than thought before. By contrast, alpha 6A transfected cells adhered to all laminin isoforms when stimulated with TS2/16. Adhesion also occurred only on bovine kidney laminins in the absence of TS2/16. These results demonstrate that both alpha 3A beta 1 and alpha 6A beta 1 integrins are typical laminin receptors but that their affinity and activation dependence for binding to various laminin isoforms differ considerably.

Full textAbstract:
Laminin-6 (LN6) and laminin-5 (LN5), which share the common integrin-binding domain in the laminin α3 chain, are thought to cooperatively regulate cellular functions, but the former has poorly been characterized. Human fibrosarcoma HT1080 cells expressing an exogenous α3 chain were found to secrete LN6 with the full-length α3 chain and a smaller amount of its processed form lacking the carboxyl-terminal G4-5 domain, besides mature LN5 without G4-5 (mat-LN5). We prepared the unprocessed LN6 and mat-LN5, as well as LN6 mutants without G4-5 (LN6ΔG4-5) or G5 (LN6ΔG5). These laminins supported attachment of HT1080 cells and human keratinocytes (HaCaT) through integrins α3β1and/or α6β1. LN6ΔG4-5, LN6ΔG5, and mat-LN5 promoted rapid cell spreading, whereas LN6 did hardly. A purified G4-5 fragment of the laminin α3 chain supported cell attachment through interaction with heparan sulfate proteoglycans and promoted cell spreading in combination with mat-LN5 or LN6ΔG4-5. These results imply that the G4-5 domain within the LN6 molecule suppresses cell adhesion, while the released G4-5 promotes it. The presence of G5 rather than the heparin-binding domain G4 was responsible for the impaired cell spreading activity of LN6. However, the unprocessed LN6 promoted cell spreading in the presence of mat-LN5. Unlike mat-LN5, both LN6ΔG4-5 and LN6 did weakly or did not stimulate cell motility. These findings demonstrate that LN6 and LN5 have distinct biological activities, but they may cooperatively support cell adhesion. The proteolytic processing of the α3 chain seems to regulate the physiological functions of LN6.

Full textAbstract:
Wounding of skin activates epidermal cell migration over exposed dermal collagen and fibronectin and over laminin 5 secreted into the provisional basement membrane. Gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) has been proposed to integrate the individual motile cells into a synchronized colony. We found that outgrowths of human keratinocytes in wounds or epibole cultures display parallel changes in the expression of laminin 5, integrin α3β1, E-cadherin, and the gap junctional protein connexin 43. Adhesion of keratinocytes on laminin 5, collagen, and fibronectin was found to differentially regulate GJIC. When keratinocytes were adhered on laminin 5, both structural (assembly of connexin 43 in gap junctions) and functional (dye transfer) assays showed a two- to threefold increase compared with collagen and five- to eightfold over fibronectin. Based on studies with immobilized integrin antibody and integrin-transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells, the interaction of integrin α3β1 with laminin 5 was sufficient to promote GJIC. Mapping of intermediate steps in the pathway linking α3β1–laminin 5 interactions to GJIC indicated that protein trafficking and Rho signaling were both required. We suggest that adhesion of epithelial cells to laminin 5 in the basement membrane via α3β1 promotes GJIC that integrates individual cells into synchronized epiboles.

Full textAbstract:
The proteolytic processing of laminin-5 at the short arm of the γ2 chain (γ2sa) is known to convert this laminin from a cell adhesion type to a motility type. Here, we studied this mechanism by analyzing the functions of γ2sa. In some immortalized or tumorigenic human cell lines, a recombinant γ2sa, in either soluble or insoluble (coated) form, promoted the adhesion of these cells to the processed laminin-5 (Pr-LN5), and it suppressed their migration stimulated by serum or epidermal growth factor (EGF). γ2sa also suppressed EGF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of integrin β4 and resultant disruption of hemidesmosome-like structures in keratinocytes. γ2sa bound to syndecan-1, and this binding, as well as its cell adhesion activity, was blocked by heparin. By analyzing the activities of three different γ2sa fragments, the active site of γ2sa was localized to the NH2-terminal EGF-like sequence (domain V or LEa). Suppression of syndecan-1 expression by the RNA interference effectively blocked the activities of domain V capable of promoting cell adhesion and inhibiting the integrin β4 phosphorylation. These results demonstrate that domain V of the γ2 chain negatively regulates the integrin β4 phosphorylation, probably through a syndecan-1–mediated signaling, leading to enhanced cell adhesion and suppressed cell motility.

Full textAbstract:
Laminin–integrin interactions regulate various adhesion-dependent cellular processes. γ1C-Glu, the Glu residue in the laminin γ1 chain C-terminal tail, is crucial for the binding of γ1-laminins to several integrin isoforms. Here, we investigated the impact of γ1C Glu to Gln mutation on γ1-laminin binding to all possible integrin partners in vitro, and found that the mutation specifically ablated binding to α3, α6, and α7 integrins. To examine the physiological significance of γ1C-Glu, we generated a knock-in allele, Lamc1EQ, in which the γ1C Glu to Gln mutation was introduced. Although Lamc1EQ/EQ homozygotes developed into blastocysts and deposited laminins in their basement membranes, they died just after implantation because of disordered extraembryonic development. Given the impact of the Lamc1EQ allele on embryonic development, we developed a knock-in mouse strain enabling on-demand introduction of the γ1C Glu to Gln mutation by the Cre-loxP system. The present study has revealed a crucial role of γ1C-Glu–mediated integrin binding in postimplantation development and provides useful animal models for investigating the physiological roles of laminin–integrin interactions in vivo.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Sickle cell disease is characterized by painful vaso-occlusive crises during which abnormal interactions between erythroid adhesion molecules and vessel-wall proteins are thought to play a critical role. Hydroxyurea, the only drug with proven benefit in sickle cell disease, diminishes these interactions, but its mechanism of action is not fully understood. We report that, under hydroxyurea, expression of the unique erythroid laminin receptor Lu/BCAM was increased, but red blood cell adhesion to laminin decreased. Because Lu/BCAM phosphorylation is known to activate cell adhesion to laminin, it was evaluated and found to be dramatically lower in hydroxyurea-treated patients. Analysis of the protein kinase A pathway showed decreased intracellular levels of the upstream effector cyclic adenosine monophosphate during hydroxyurea treatment. Using a cellular model expressing recombinant Lu/BCAM, we showed that hydroxyurea led to decreased intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate levels and diminished Lu/BCAM phosphorylation and cell adhesion. We provide evidence that hydroxyurea could reduce abnormal sickle red blood cell adhesion to the vascular wall by regulating the activation state of adhesion molecules independently of their expression level.

Laminin 5 regulates anchorage and motility of epithelial cells through integrins α6β4 and α3β1, respectively. We used targeted disruption of the LAMA3 gene, which encodes the α3 subunit of laminin 5 and other isoforms, to examine developmental functions that are regulated by adhesion to the basement membrane (BM). In homozygous null animals, profound epithelial abnormalities were detected that resulted in neonatal lethality, consistent with removal of all α3-laminin isoforms from epithelial BMs. Alterations in three different cellular functions were identified. First, using a novel tissue adhesion assay, we found that the mutant BM could not induce stable adhesion by integrin α6β4, consistent with the presence of junctional blisters and abnormal hemidesmosomes. In the absence of laminin 5 function, we were able to detect a new ligand for integrin α3β1 in the epidermal BM, suggesting that basal keratinocytes can utilize integrin α3β1 to interact with an alternative ligand. Second, we identified a survival defect in mutant epithelial cells that could be rescued by exogenous laminin 5, collagen, or an antibody against integrin α6β4, suggesting that signaling through β1 or β4 integrins is sufficient for survival. Third, we detected abnormalities in ameloblast differentiation in developing mutant incisors indicating that events downstream of adhesion are affected in mutant animals. These results indicate that laminin 5 has an important role in regulating tissue organization, gene expression, and survival of epithelium.

ABSTRACT Pathogenic leptospires have the ability to survive and disseminate to multiple organs after penetrating the host. Several pathogens, including spirochetes, have been shown to express surface proteins that interact with the extracellular matrix (ECM). This adhesin-mediated binding process seems to be a crucial step in the colonization of host tissues. This study examined the interaction of putative leptospiral outer membrane proteins with laminin, collagen type I, collagen type IV, cellular fibronectin, and plasma fibronectin. Six predicted coding sequences selected from the Leptospira interrogans serovar Copenhageni genome were cloned, and proteins were expressed, purified by metal affinity chromatography, and characterized by circular dichroism spectroscopy. Their capacity to mediate attachment to ECM components was evaluated by binding assays. We have identified a leptospiral protein encoded by LIC12906, named Lsa24 (leptospiral surface adhesin; 24 kDa) that binds strongly to laminin. Attachment of Lsa24 to laminin was specific, dose dependent, and saturable. Laminin oxidation by sodium metaperiodate reduced the protein-laminin interaction in a concentration-dependent manner, indicating that laminin sugar moieties are crucial for this interaction. Triton X-114-solubilized extract of L. interrogans and phase partitioning showed that Lsa24 was exclusively in the detergent phase, indicating that it is a component of the leptospiral membrane. Moreover, Lsa24 partially inhibited leptospiral adherence to immobilized laminin. This newly identified membrane protein may play a role in mediating adhesion of L. interrogans to the host. To our knowledge, this is the first leptospiral adhesin with laminin-binding properties reported to date.

Full textAbstract:
Kalinin was purified from squamous cell carcinoma (SCC25) spent culture media using an immunoaffinity column prepared from the mAb BM165. The affinity-purified material was separated by SDS-PAGE into three bands of 165-155, 140, and 105 kD identical to those obtained from normal human keratinocyte cultures and previously identified as kalinin. Kalinin promoted adhesion of a large number of normal cells and established cell lines with an activity similar to other adhesion molecules such as the laminin-nidogen complex, fibronectin, or collagen IV. However, kalinin was a much better substrate than laminin-nidogen complex for adhesion of cells of epithelial origin including primary human keratinocytes. Adhesion to kalinin was followed by cell shape changes ranging from rounded to fully spread cells depending on the cell types. The adhesion-promoting activity of kalinin was conformation dependent and was abolished by heat denaturation. mAb BM165 prevented cell adhesion to kalinin but not to other extracellular matrix substrates. However, either complete or partial inhibition was observed with different cells suggesting the existence of at least two cell-binding sites on the kalinin molecule. Experiments inhibiting cell adhesion with function-blocking anti-integrin subunit antibodies indicated that both alpha 3 beta 1 and alpha 6 beta 1 integrins are involved in the cellular interactions with kalinin, while for cell adhesion to classical mouse Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm laminin only alpha 6 beta 1 integrins, and not alpha 3 beta 1, appeared to be functional. Altogether, these results suggest that kalinin may fulfill additional functions than laminin, particularly for epithelial cells.

Macrophages require activation with either PMA (Mercurio, A. M., and L. M. Shaw. 1988. J. Cell Biol. 107:1873-1880) or interferon-gamma (Shaw, L. M., and A. M. Mercurio. 1989. J. Exp. Med. 169:303-308) to adhere to a laminin substratum. In the present study, we identified an integrin laminin receptor on macrophages and characterized cellular changes that occur in response to PMA activation that facilitate laminin adhesion. A monoclonal antibody (GoH3) that recognizes the integrin alpha 6 subunit (Sonnenberg, A., H. Janssen, F. Hogervorst, J. Calafat, and J. Hilgers. 1987. J. Biol. Chem. 262:10376-10383) specifically inhibited adhesion to laminin-coated surfaces. This antibody precipitated an alpha 6 beta 1 heterodimer (Mr 130/110 kD) from 125I surface-labeled macrophages. The amount of radiolabeled receptor on the cell surface did not increase after PMA activation. Thus, the induction of laminin adhesion cannot be attributed to de novo or increased surface expression of alpha 6 beta 1. By initially removing the Triton X-100-soluble fraction of macrophages and then disrupting the remaining cytoskeletal framework, we observed that 75% of the alpha 6 beta 1 heterodimer on the cell surface is anchored to the cytoskeleton in macrophages that had adhered to a laminin substratum in response to PMA. Significant cytoskeletal anchoring of this receptor was not observed in macrophages that had adhered to fibronectin or tissue culture plastic, nor was it seen in nonadherent cells. PMA also induced phosphorylation of the cytoplasmic domain of the alpha 6 subunit, but not the beta 1 subunit. Phosphorylated alpha 6 was localized to the cytoskeletal fraction only in macrophages plated on a laminin substratum. In summary, our results support a mechanism for the regulation of macrophage adhesion to laminin that involves specific and dynamic matrix integrin-cytoskeletal interactions that may be facilitated by integrin phosphorylation.

Intestinal homeostasis is regulated in part by the single cell layer of the mucosal epithelium. This physical barrier is a prominent part of the innate immune system and possesses an intrinsic ability to heal damage and limit infection. The restitutive epithelial migration phase of healing requires dynamic integrin adhesion to the extracellular matrix. Previously, we have shown that the homeostatic chemokine CXCL12 utilizes intracellular calcium to increase enterocyte migration on laminin. The aim of these studies was to investigate integrin specificity and, in turn, functional responses elicited by CXCL12 stimulation. Analysis of cellular adhesion and spreading revealed CXCL12 preferentially activated laminin-specific integrins compared with collagen IV-binding integrins. Laminin-specific cell adhesion and spreading elicited by CXCL12 was dependent on intracellular calcium. CXCL12 increased activated β1-integrins on the surface of epithelial cells compared with untreated cells. RT-PCR confirmed expression of the laminin-binding integrins-α3β1, -α6β1, and -α6β4. Interestingly, shRNA-mediated depletion of laminin-specific α3- or α6-integrin subunits revealed differential functions. α3-Integrin knockdown reduced basal as well as inducible restitution. Depletion of α6-integrin specifically abolished CXCL12-stimulated, but not TGF-β1 or basal, migration. Depletion with either shα3-integrin or shα6-integrin prevented CXCL12-evoked cell spreading. Our data indicate that CXCL12 stimulates the inside-out activation of laminin-specific integrins to promote cell migratory functions. Together, our findings support the notion that extracellular mediators within the gastrointestinal mucosa coordinate cell-matrix interactions during epithelial restitution.

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 β1-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.

Full textAbstract:
The integrin α3β1 mediates cellular adhesion to the matrix ligand laminin-5. A second integrin ligand, the urokinase receptor (uPAR), associates with α3β1 via a surface loop within the α3 β-propeller (residues 242–246) but outside the laminin binding region, suggesting that uPAR–integrin interactions could signal differently from matrix engagement. To explore this, α3−/− epithelial cells were reconstituted with wild-type (wt) α3 or α3 with Ala mutations within the uPAR-interacting loop (H245A or R244A). Wt or mutant-bearing cells showed comparable expression and adhesion to laminin-5. Cells expressing wt α3 and uPAR dissociated in culture, with increased Src activity, up-regulation of SLUG, and down-regulation of E-cadherin and γ-catenin. Src kinase inhibition or expression of Src 1–251 restored the epithelial phenotype. The H245A and R244A mutants were unaffected by coexpression of uPAR. We conclude that α3β1 regulates both cell–cell contact and matrix adhesion, but through distinct protein interaction sites within its β-propeller. These studies reveal an integrin- and Src-dependent pathway for SLUG expression and mesenchymal transition.

While adhering to extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, such as laminin-111, cells temporarily produce hydrogen peroxide at adhesion sites. To study the redox regulation of α7β1 integrin-mediated cell adhesion to laminin-111, a conserved cysteine pair within the α-subunit hinge region was replaced for alanines. The molecular and cellular effects were analyzed by electron and atomic force microscopy, impedance-based migration assays, flow cytometry and live cell imaging. This cysteine pair constitutes a thiol-switch, which redox-dependently governs the equilibrium between an extended and a bent integrin conformation with high and low ligand binding activity, respectively. Hydrogen peroxide oxidizes the cysteines to a disulfide bond, increases ligand binding and promotes cell migration toward laminin-111. Inversely, extracellular thioredoxin-1 reduces the disulfide, thereby decreasing laminin binding. Mutation of this cysteine pair into the non-oxidizable hinge-mutant shows molecular and cellular effects similar to the reduced wild-type integrin, but lacks redox regulation. This proves the existence of a dominant thiol-switch within the α subunit hinge of α7β1 integrin, which is sufficient to implement activity regulation by extracellular redox agents in a redox-regulatory circuit. Our data reveal a novel and physiologically relevant thiol-based regulatory mechanism of integrin-mediated cell-ECM interactions, which employs short-lived hydrogen peroxide and extracellular thioredoxin-1 as signaling mediators.

Full textAbstract:
The adhesion complex, which plays an important role in cell-substratum attachment, consists of a cellular hemidesmosomal plaque, anchoring filaments, the basement membrane zone and anchoring fibrils. An analysis of the temporal sequence of assembly of the adhesion complex was undertaken in an in vitro model of epithelial cell wound healing by immunofluorescence and electron microscopy. A monoclonal antibody directed against a 125K (K = 10(3) Mr) polypeptide (mAbHD), bullous pemphigoid (BP) autoantibodies, antibodies directed against collagen type VII and laminin antibodies were used as markers for anchoring filaments, the hemidesmosome, anchoring fibrils and the laminin component of the basement membrane zone, respectively. Fluorescence labeling could be detected with mAbHD before labeling with BP autoantibodies or collagen type VII antibodies. Laminin fluorescence was detected at the same time as mAbHD. Furthermore, the 125K polypeptide and laminin were located extracellularly prior to the appearance of BP antigen and collagen type VII. The appearance of the hemidesmosomal plaque at the electron microscope level succeeded the localization of BP antigen in basal cells detected by immunofluorescence microscopy. No evidence for the coordinated appearance of BP antigen, collagen type VII and laminin was observed in this model. We discuss the possibility that the 125K protein and laminin may play roles in the initiation of complex formation. Furthermore, although basement membrane zone components were detected early in adhesion complex re-formation, formation of the lamina densa region of the basement membrane zone followed the appearance of the hemidesmosomal plaque, indicating a role for the hemidesmosomal plaque in organizing the structure of the lamina densa.

Full textAbstract:
HEMCAM/gicerin, an immunoglobulin superfamily protein, is involved in homophilic and heterophilic adhesion. It interacts with NOF (neurite outgrowth factor), a molecule of the laminin family. Alternative splicing leads to mRNAs coding for HEMCAM with a short (HEMCAM-s) or a long cytoplasmic tail (HEMCAM-l). To investigate the cellular function of these two variants, we stably transfected murine fibroblasts with either form of HEMCAM. Expression of each isoform of this protein in L cells delayed proliferation and modified their adhesion properties to purified extracellular matrix proteins. Expression of either HEMCAM-s or HEMCAM-l inhibited integrin-dependent adhesion and spreading of fibroblasts to laminin 1, showing that this phenomenon did not depend on the cytoplasmic region. By contrast, L-cell adhesion and spreading to fibronectin depended on the HEMCAM isoform expressed. Flow cytometry and immunoprecipitation studies revealed that the expression of HEMCAM downregulated expression of the laminin-binding integrins (α)3 (β)1, (α)6 (β)1 and (α)7 (β)1, and fibronectin receptor (α)5 (β)1 from the cell surface. Semi-quantitative PCR and northern blot experiments showed that the expression of (α)6 (β)1 integrin modified by HEMCAM occurred at a translation or maturation level. Thus, our data demonstrate that HEMCAM regulates fibroblast adhesion by controlling (β)1 integrin expression. http://www.biologists.com/JCS/movies/jcs1886.html

Full textAbstract:
Basement membrane-adherent type II alveolar cells isolated from lung assemble into lumen-containing cellular spheres which retain the correct polarity and thereby approximate the earliest fetal stage of alveolar morphogenesis. The molecular basis of this process, determined in initial experiments to be attributable mainly to the large heterotrimeric glycoprotein laminin, was probed with laminin proteolytic fragments, antibodies, and synthetic peptides. The carboxy-terminal fragment E8, but not equimolar amounts of fragment P1, blocked alveolar formation. To pursue this observation, we used several anti-E8 antibodies and identified one, prepared against A chain residues 2179-2198 ("SN-peptide") from the first loop of the G domain, as inhibitory. These results were confirmed by use of SN-peptide alone and further defined by trypsin digestion of SN-peptide to the sequence SINNNR. This conserved site promoted divalent cation dependent adhesion of both type II alveolar and HT1080 cells, was inhibitable with equimolar amounts of fragment E8 but not P1, and derives from a form of laminin present in fetal alveolar basement membranes. These studies point to an important novel cell adhesion site in the laminin E8 region with a key role in lung alveolar morphogenesis.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT The Moraxella catarrhalis ubiquitous surface proteins (UspAs) are autotransporter molecules reported to interact with a variety of different host proteins and to affect processes ranging from serum resistance to cellular adhesion. The role of UspA1 as an adhesin has been confirmed with a number of different human cell types and is mediated by binding to eukaryotic proteins including carcinoembryonic antigen-related cellular adhesion molecules (CEACAMs), fibronectin, and laminin. A distinct difference in the ability of prototypical M. catarrhalis strains to adhere to CEACAM-expressing cell lines prompted us to perform strain-specific structure-function analyses of UspA1 proteins. In this study, we characterized CEACAM binding by a diverse set of UspA1 proteins and showed that 3 out of 10 UspA1 proteins were incapable of binding CEACAM. This difference resulted from the absence of a distinct CEACAM binding motif in nonadhering strains. Our sequence analysis also revealed a single M. catarrhalis isolate that lacked the fibronectin-binding motif and was defective in adherence to Chang conjunctival epithelial cells. These results clearly demonstrate that UspA1-associated adhesive functions are not universally conserved. Instead, UspA1 proteins must be considered as variants with the potential to confer both different cell tropisms and host cell responses.

Full textAbstract:
This work shows the production and characterization of two novel putative lipoproteins encoded by the genes LIC10645 and LIC10731 identified in the genome sequences of Leptospira interrogans. In silico conservation analysis indicated that the proteins are well conserved among pathogenic leptospiral serovars and species. Recombinant proteins were obtained in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) Star pLysS strain, purified by metal-affinity chromatography, and used for characterization and immunological evaluations. Recombinant proteins were capable of eliciting a combination of humoral and cellular immune responses in animal models, and could be recognized by antibodies present in human serum samples. The recombinant proteins Lsa44 and Lsa45 were able to bind laminin, and were named Lsa44 and Lsa45 for leptospiral surface adhesins of 44 and 45 kDa, respectively. The attachment to laminin was dose-responsive with K D values of 108.21 and 250.38 nM for Lsa44 and Lsa45, respectively. Moreover, these proteins interact with plasminogen (PLG) with K D values of 53.56 and 36.80 nM, respectively. PLG bound to the recombinant proteins could be converted to plasmin (PLA) in the presence of an activator. Cellular localization assays suggested that the Lsa44 and Lsa45 were surface-exposed. These are versatile proteins capable of interacting with laminin and PLG/PLA, and hence could mediate bacterial adhesion and contribute to tissue penetration.

Full textAbstract:
We previously demonstrated that both Tiam1, an activator of Rac, and constitutively active V12Rac promote E-cadherin–mediated cell–cell adhesion in epithelial Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. Moreover, Tiam1 and V12Rac inhibit invasion of Ras-transformed, fibroblastoid MDCK-f3 cells by restoring E-cadherin–mediated cell–cell adhesion. Here we show that the Tiam1/Rac-induced cellular response is dependent on the cell substrate. On fibronectin and laminin 1, Tiam1/Rac signaling inhibits migration of MDCK-f3 cells by restoring E-cadherin–mediated cell– cell adhesion. On different collagens, however, expression of Tiam1 and V12Rac promotes motile behavior, under conditions that prevent formation of E-cadherin adhesions. In nonmotile cells, Tiam1 is present in adherens junctions, whereas Tiam1 localizes to lamellae of migrating cells. The level of Rac activation by Tiam1, as determined by binding to a glutathione-S-transferase– PAK protein, is similar on fibronectin or collagen I, suggesting that rather the localization of the Tiam1/Rac signaling complex determines the substrate-dependent cellular responses. Rac activation by Tiam1 requires PI3-kinase activity. Moreover, Tiam1- but not V12Rac-induced migration as well as E-cadherin–mediated cell– cell adhesion are dependent on PI3-kinase, indicating that PI3-kinase acts upstream of Tiam1 and Rac.

Full textAbstract:
In physiology and pathophysiology the molecules involved in blood cell–blood cell and blood cell–endothelium interactions have been identified. Platelet aggregation and adhesion to the walls belonging to vessels involve glycoproteins (GP), GP llb and GP llla and the GP Ib–IX–V complex. Red blood cells (RBCs) in normal situations have little interaction with the endothelium. Abnormal adhesion of RBCs was first observed in sickle cell anemia involving vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1, α4β1, Lu/BCAM, and intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-4. More recently RBC adhesion was found to be increased in retinal-vein occlusion (RVO) and in polycythemia vera (PV). The molecules which participate in this process are phosphatidylserine and annexin V in RVO, and phosphorylated Lu/BCAM and α5 laminin chain in PV. The additional adhesion in diabetes mellitus occurs due to the glycated RBC band 3 and the advanced glycation end-product receptors. The multiligand receptor binds advanced glycation end products (AGEs) or S100 calgranulins, or β-amyloid peptide. This receptor for advanced glycation end products is known as RAGE. The binding to RAGE-activated endothelial cells leads to an inflammatory reaction and a prothrombotic state via NADPH activation and altered gene expression. RAGE blockade is a potential target for drugs preventing the deleterious consequences of RAGE activation.

Full textAbstract:
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) are differentiation competent cells and may generate, among others, mature osteoblasts or chondrocytes<em> in vitro</em> and <em>in vivo</em>. Laminin-5 and type I collagen are important components of the extracellular matrix. They are involved in a variety of cellular and extracellular activities including cell attachment and osteogenic differentiation of MSC. MSC were isolated and expanded using media conforming good medical practice (GMP)-regulations for medical products. Cells were characterized according to the defined minimal criteria for multipotent MSC. MTT- and BrdU-assays were performed to evaluate protein-dependent (laminin-5, laminin-1, type I collagen) metabolic activity and proliferation of MSC. MSC-attachment assays were performed using protein-coated culture plates. Osteogenic differentiation of MSC was measured by protein-dependant mineralization and expression of osteogenic marker genes (osteopontin, alkaline phophatase, Runx2) after three, seven and 28 days of differentiation. Marker genes were identified using quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. Expansion of MSC in GMP-conforming media yielded vital cells meeting all minimal criteria for MSC. Attachment assay revealed a favorable binding of MSC to laminin-5 and type I collagen at a protein concentration of 1-5 fmol/mL. Compared to plastic, osteogenic differentiation was significantly increased by laminin-5 after 28 days of culture (P&lt;0.04). No significant differences in gene expression patterns were observed. We conclude that laminin-5 and type I collagen promote attachment, but laminin-1 and laminin-5 promote osteogenic differentiation of MSC. This may influence future clinical applications.

Full textAbstract:
Pulse electric field (PEF) is a way of generating transient holes in the cell membrane. This is achieved by exposing the cell to a high voltage electric field of usually of short duration. The application of PEF to the cell cannot only open pores in the cell membrane but can also affect the cell physiology. Extracellular matrix protein is the major regulator of many cellular functions such as proliferation, adhesion and migration. PEF was also found to modulate these cellular behaviours. However, a combined influence of PEF and ECM on cellular behaviour which could further enhances the cellular processes for wound healing application via directed cell migration has not been investigated. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the effect of PEF in combination with ECM on the cell guidance and self-assemble monolayer of HT29 cell line. Cell alignment was investigated via micro-contact printing techniques. The results of the study have shown that PEF has improved the HT29 cell alignment and elongation by more than 40%. Since tissue development in multicellular organisms in the course of wound healing depends on the cell adhesion process which can be influence by electrostatic charges. Therefore, manipulation of substrate charge by patterning the substrate and application of PEF to enhance cell adhesion is a promising scheme that can regulate cell guidance for wound healing application.

Single cell force microscopy was used to investigate the maximum detachment force (MDF) of primary neuronal mouse cells (PNCs), osteoblastic cells (MC3T3), and prokaryotic cells (Staphylococcus capitis subsp. capitis) from different surfaces after contact times of 1 to 5 seconds. Positively charged silicon nitride surfaces were coated with positively charged polyethyleneimine (PEI) or poly-D-lysine. Laminin was used as the second coating. PEI induced MDFs of the order of 5 to 20 nN, slightly higher than silicon nitride did. Lower MDFs (1 to 5 nN) were detected on PEI/laminin with the lowest on PDL/laminin. To abstract from the individual cell properties, such as size, and to obtain cell type-specific MDFs, the MDFs of each cell on the different coatings were normalized to the silicon nitride reference for the longest contact time. The differences in MDF between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells were generally of similar dimensions, except on PDL/laminin, which discriminated against the prokaryotic cells. We explain the lower MDFs on laminin by the spatial prevention of the electrostatic cell adhesion to the underlying polymers. However, PEI can form long flexible loops protruding from the surface-bound layer that may span the laminin layer and easily bind to cellular surfaces and the small prokaryotic cells. This was reflected in increased MDFs after two-second contact times on silicon nitride, whereas the two-second values were already observed after one second on PEI or PEI/laminin. We assume that the electrostatic charge interaction with the PEI loops is more important for the initial adhesion of the smaller prokaryotic cells than for eukaryotic cells.

Full textAbstract:
Topographical modification of the dental implant surface is one of the main topics for the improvement of the material, however, the roughened surface has some risks for peri-implantitis. A hydrothermal treatment (HT) of titanium with calcium chloride solution was reported to improve osseointegration and soft tissue sealing without changing the surface topography; however, its mechanism is unclear. We herewith investigated the interaction between extracellular matrix (ECM) protein and HT titanium. Furthermore, we also clarified the bacterial interaction. We employed two kinds of HT, HT with water (DW-HT) and HT with calcium chloride solution (Ca-HT). As a result, the adsorptions of both laminin-332 and osteopontin onto the Ca-HT surface were enhanced. In contrast, the adsorption of albumin, which was reported to have no cell adhesion capacity, was not influenced by Ca-HT. Osteoblast adhesion onto Ca-HT was also enhanced. Although Ca-HT was reported to enhance both epithelial cell attachment strength and in vivo peri-implant epithelial bonding, the number of epithelial cell attachment was not increased even after HT. Ca-HT had no impact in the adhesion of Streptococcus gordonii. These results suggest that Ca-HT enhances cell adhesion onto titanium without increasing bacterial adhesion, and the improvement of ECM protein adsorption is supposed to contribute to cell adhesion.

Full textAbstract:
Regulated secretion requires the developmental coupling of neuronal or hormonal stimuli to an exocytotic response, a multistep pathway whose appearance may be linked with cellular adhesion to the newly formed exocrine cell basement membrane. We screened for adhesion-associated coupling activity using lacrimal acinar cells and have identified “BM180”, a novel basement membrane protein enriched in guanidine HCl extracts of lacrimal and parotid exocrine secretory glands. BM180 resides primarily in a previously inexamined lower molecular-mass basement membrane peak (peak 2) that contains cell adhesion activity inhibitable with the anti-BM180 monoclonal antibody 3E12. Removal of peak 2 by gel filtration or preincubation of basement membrane with 3E12 decreased regulated peroxidase secretion by one-half without affecting constitutive secretion or the amount of cellular peroxidase available for release. Adding back peak 2 restored regulated secretion in a dose-dependent and 3E12-inhibitable manner and suggested a synergistic relationship between BM180 and laminin 1. BM180 has a mobility of 180 and 60 kDa in the absence or presence of dithiothreitol, respectively, and shows no immunological identity by competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with laminin 1, collagen IV, entactin, fibronectin, BM-40, perlecan, or vitronectin. We propose that BM180 is an important resident of certain glandular basement membranes where it interacts with the cell surface, thereby possibly signaling the appearance of a transducing element in the stimulus-secretion coupling pathway.

Full textAbstract:
Although integrins are known to mediate adhesive binding of cells to the extracellular matrix, their role in mediating cellular growth, morphology, and differentiation is less clear. To determine more directly the role of the alpha 2 beta 1 integrin, a collagen and laminin receptor, in mediating the collagen-dependent differentiation of mammary cells, we reduced expression of the integrin by the well differentiated human breast carcinoma cell line, T47D, by stably expressing alpha 2 integrin antisense mRNA. Flow cytometry demonstrated that the antisense-expressing clones had levels of alpha 2 beta 1 integrin on their surfaces that were decreased by 30–70%. Adhesion of antisense-expressing clones to both collagens I and IV was decreased relative to controls in a manner that correlated with the level of cell surface alpha 2 beta 1 integrin expression. Adhesion to fibronectin and laminin were not affected. Motility across collagen-coated filters in haptotaxis assays was increased for only those clones that exhibited intermediate levels of adhesion to collagen, suggesting that an intermediate density of cell-surface alpha 2 beta 1 integrin optimally supports cell motility. When cultured in three-dimensional collagen gels, T47D cells organized in a manner suggestive of a glandular epithelium. In contrast, antisense-expressing clones with decreased alpha 2 beta 1 integrin were not able to organize in three-dimensional collagen gels. The growth rate of T47D cells was reduced when the cells were cultured in three-dimensional collagen gels. Unlike adhesion, motility, and morphogenesis, growth rates were unaffected by reduction of alpha 2 beta 1 integrin expression. Our results suggest that adhesive interactions mediated by a critical level of surface alpha 2 beta 1 integrin expression are key determinants of the collagen-dependent morphogenetic capacity of mammary epithelial cells.

Full textAbstract:
Human neutrophils generally function adherent to an extracellular matrix. We have previously reported that upon adhesion to laminin- or fibronectin-coated, but not uncoated, plastic there is a depolymerization of actin in neutrophils. This phenomenon was not affected by inhibitors of the more well-studied components of the signal transduction pathway, specifically, pertussis toxin, an inhibitor of G-proteins, H-7 or staurosporine, inhibitors of protein kinase C, or herbimycin A, an inhibitor of nonreceptor tyrosine kinase. We therefore focused our attention on actin-binding proteins and measured the changes in the partitioning of gelsolin between the Triton X-100-soluble and -insoluble cellular fractions which occur upon neutrophil adhesion by means of quantitating anti-gelsolin antibody binding to aliquots of these fractions. It was found that approximately 90% of the total cellular gelsolin was found in the Triton X-100-soluble fraction in suspended cells, but that upon adherence to either fibronectin- or laminin-coated plastic about 40% of the soluble gelsolin could be detected in the insoluble fraction. This effect was not observed in cells adherent to uncoated plastic, wherein more than 90% of the gelsolin was found in the soluble fraction. Results of immunofluorescence microscopy of these cell preparations was consistent with this data. A gelsolin translocation to the insoluble cellular actin network may account for a part of the observed actin depolymerization.

Integrin alpha 6 beta 1 is a laminin receptor involved in adhesion and neurite extension of retinal neurons on laminin. The present study was carried out to identify potential interactions between the alpha 6 beta 1 receptor and cellular proteins that may be involved in integrin signaling and function. For this purpose we have used a biochemical approach based on the solubilization of retinal neurons cultured on laminin with nonionic detergents, followed by centrifugation on sucrose velocity gradients. Analysis of the distribution of the alpha 6 and beta 1 integrin subunits in the gradients showed that they migrate as a large complex after extraction of cells with octylglucoside, but not after Triton X-100 extraction. Cytoskeletal proteins known to localize in adhesion plaques did not comigrate with alpha 6 beta 1 in octylglucoside gradients, while a set of polypeptides whose tyrosine phosphorylation was enhanced by culture on laminin colocalized with alpha 6 beta 1 on the gradients after octylglucoside solubilization. Culture of retinal neurons on bovine serum albumin, a nonadhesive substratum, partially affected the gradient distribution of the receptor after octylglucoside extraction. Furthermore, analysis of the gradient distribution of two alternatively spliced isoforms of the alpha 6 subunit, alpha 6-cytoA and alpha 6-cytoB, showed that the effect of non-adhesion on the sedimentation properties of the two integrin alpha 6 isoforms was more dramatic for alpha 6-cytoB than alpha 6-cytoA. These differences in the sedimentation behaviour indicate distinct biochemical properties of the two alpha 6 isoforms that, together with previous observations on their differential distribution in the developing retina, may reflect functional specificities.

Full textAbstract:
Multicellular organisms are formed by specialized cells assembled in tissues. Individual cells contact and interact with other cells and with the extracellular matrix--a network of secreted proteins and carbohydrates that fills the intercellular spaces. The extracellular matrix helps cells to bind together and regulates a number of cellular functions, such as adhesion, migration, proliferation, and differentiation. It is formed by macromolecules, locally secreted by resident cells. The two main classes of macromolecules are polysaccharide glycosaminoglycans, usually covalently linked to proteins in the form of proteoglycans, and fibrous proteins of two functional types, structural (collagen, elastin) and adhesive (fibronectin, laminin, vitronectin, etc.). Receptors for extracellular matrix macromolecules are present in virtually all of the cells studied. They belong to the superfamily of integrins, alpha beta heterodimers, which, in most cases, recognize the Arg-Gly-Asp sequence of extracellular matrix proteins. On the exterior side of the cell, integrins link an extracellular matrix macromolecule, whereas in the cytosol, they bind the cytoskeleton, thereby forming a membrane bridge between extracellular and intracellular fibers. This structure enables the cell to adhere to the substratum. Similar to hormone- or growth factor-receptor binding, the interaction of the integrin with its specific ligand induces immediate signal transduction and influences cellular activities.

Several integrin alpha subunits have structural variants that are identical in their extracellular and transmembrane domains but that differ in their cytoplasmic domains. The functional significance of these variants, however, is unknown. In the present study, we examined the possibility that the A and B variants of the alpha 6 beta 1 integrin laminin receptor differ in function. For this purpose, we expressed the alpha 6A and alpha 6B cDNAs, as well as a truncated alpha 6 cDNA (alpha 6-delta CYT) in which the cytoplasmic domain sequence was deleted after the GFFKR pentapeptide, in P388D1 cells, an alpha 6 deficient macrophage cell line. Populations of stable alpha 6A, alpha 6B, and alpha 6-delta CYT transfectants that expressed equivalent levels of cell surface alpha 6 were obtained by fluorescence-activated cell sorter and shown to form heterodimers with endogenous beta 1 subunits. Upon attachment to laminin, the alpha 6A transfectants extended numerous pseudopodia. In contrast, the alpha 6B transfectants remained rounded and extended few processes. The transfectants were also examined for their ability to migrate toward a laminin substratum using Transwell chambers. The alpha 6A transfectants were three- to fourfold more migratory than the alpha 6B transfectants. The alpha 6-delta CYT transfectants did not attach to laminin in normal culture medium, but they did attach in the presence of Mn2+. The alpha 6-delta CYT transfectants migrated to a lesser extent than either the alpha 6A or alpha 6B transfectants in the presence of Mn2+. The alpha 6 transfectants differed significantly in the concentration of substratum bound laminin required for half-maximal adhesion in the presence of Mn2+:alpha 6A (2.1 micrograms/ml), alpha 6B (6.3 micrograms/ml), and alpha 6-delta CYT (8.8 micrograms/ml). Divalent cation titration studies revealed that these transfectants also differed significantly in both the [Ca2+] and [Mn2+] required to obtain half-maximal adhesion to laminin. These data demonstrate that the A and B variants of the alpha 6 cytoplasmic domain can differentially modulate the function of the alpha 6 beta 1 extracellular domain.

Keratinocyte migration is an absolute requirement for correct epithelialization during the process of wound healing. This process requires changes in extracellular matrix ligand expression as well as changes in ligand-binding affinity of the corresponding cellular integrins. In this study, we attempt to understand the role of laminin 5 in migration by investigating the integrin-mediated interactions of migrating keratinocytes with their newly synthesized laminin 5. We chose to induce migration of freshly isolated NHK in vitro by exposing them to TGF-beta1 which, in addition to promoting epithelial cell migration, is also known to prevent cell proliferation. This important feature allowed the study to be focused on cell migration without interfering with cell proliferation. We confirm that keratinocyte migration on plastic, fibronectin or collagen IV substrates requires endogenous laminin 5 deposition, which is predominantly detected under its unprocessed form. Despite a crucial role for laminin 5 in migration, we show that this process is accompanied by a significant decrease in adhesion to purified laminin 5. Moreover, we provide evidence that the alpha2beta1 integrin interaction with newly synthesized laminin 5 renders the cells more adherent and retards migration. Conversely, we provide evidence that the alpha2beta1 integrin-laminin 5 interaction is absolutely required for keratinocyte migration and that the alpha2beta1 integrin is responsible for cell spreading on laminin 5. Finally, we demonstrate that the alpha2beta1 integrin binding to laminin 5 occurs within the short arm of the gamma2 subunit.

Full textAbstract:
The dystrophin-glycoprotein complex maintains the integrity of skeletal muscle by associating laminin in the extracellular matrix with the actin cytoskeleton. Several human muscular dystrophies arise from defects in the components of this complex. The α7β1-integrin also binds laminin and links the extracellular matrix with the cytoskeleton. Enhancement of α7-integrin levels alleviates pathology in mdx/utrn−/− mice, a model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and thus the integrin may functionally compensate for the absence of dystrophin. To test whether increasing α7-integrin levels affects transcription and cellular functions, we generated α7-integrin-inducible C2C12 cells and transgenic mice that overexpress the integrin in skeletal muscle. C2C12 myoblasts with elevated levels of integrin exhibited increased adhesion to laminin, faster proliferation when serum was limited, resistance to staurosporine-induced apoptosis, and normal differentiation. Transgenic expression of eightfold more integrin in skeletal muscle did not result in notable toxic effects in vivo. Moreover, high levels of α7-integrin in both myoblasts and in skeletal muscle did not disrupt global gene expression profiles. Thus increasing integrin levels can compensate for defects in the extracellular matrix and cytoskeleton linkage caused by compromises in the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex without triggering apparent overt negative side effects. These results support the use of integrin enhancement as a therapy for muscular dystrophy.

Full textAbstract:
Laminin-derived peptide coatings can enhance epithelial cell adhesion to implants, and the positive effect of these peptides on bone cell adhesion has been anticipated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the improvement in bone cell attachment to and activity on titanium (Ti) scaffolds coated with a laminin-derived functional peptide, Ln2-P3 (the DLTIDDSYWYRI motif). Four Ti disc surfaces were prepared, and a human osteosarcoma (HOS) cell attachment test was performed to select two candidate surfaces for peptide coating. These two candidates were then coated with Ln2-P3 peptide, a scrambled peptide, or left uncoated to measure cell attachment to each surface, following which one surface was chosen to assess alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and osteogenic marker gene expression with quantitative real-time PCR. On the commercially pure Ti surface, the Ln2-P3 coating significantly increased cellular ALP activity and the expression levels of ALP and bone sialoprotein mRNA as compared with the scrambled peptide-coated and uncoated surfaces. In conclusion, although further in vivo studies are needed, the findings of this in vitro study indicate that the Ln2-P3-coated implant surface promotes bone cell adhesion, which has clinical implications for reducing the overall treatment time of dental implant therapy.

Full textAbstract:
The ADAMs (A Disintegrin and Metalloprotease Domains) are a family of membrane-anchored proteins that play a role in fertilisation, myoblast fusion and ectodomain shedding of cell surface proteins. Meltrin gamma (ADAM-9) is a widely expressed member of this family and is involved in the shedding of heparin binding epidermal growth factor. Here we report that meltrin gamma can function as a cell adhesion molecule via its disintegrin domain. Using solid-phase binding assays and antibody inhibition experiments, we demonstrate that a murine meltrin gamma-Fc (Mel gamma -Fc) fusion protein binds to the integrin alpha(6)beta(1) on the surface of fibroblast cell lines, HT1080 and Wehi 164 in a specific manner. Since alpha(6)beta(1) is important for the motility of several cell types on laminin, cell migration studies using time-lapse video microscopy were performed. Cells adhering to Mel gamma-Fc displayed a rounded morphology and a marked increase (eight- to tenfold) in their motility compared to that on laminin. Furthermore, the p160 ROCK kinase inhibitor Y-27632 specifically reduced the migration of cells on meltrin gamma but had no effect on migration of cells on laminin, whilst the general tyrosine phoshorylation inhibitor, genistein, inhibited cell migration on both substrates. These results together suggest that meltrin gamma may play a role in regulating the motility of cells by binding to alpha(6)beta(1) integrin and this may be important during a variety of biological and pathological processes.

Full textAbstract:
Mechanical forces regulate lung maturation in the fetus by promoting type II epithelial differentiation. However, the cell surface receptors that transduce these mechanical cues into cellular responses remain largely unknown. When distal lung type II epithelial cells isolated from embryonic day 19 rat fetuses were cultured on flexible plates coated with laminin, fibronectin, vitronectin, collagen, or elastin and exposed to a level of mechanical strain (5%) similar to that observed in utero, transmembrane signaling responses were induced under all conditions, as measured by ERK activation. However, mechanical stress maximally increased expression of the type II cell differentiation marker surfactant protein C when cells were cultured on laminin substrates. Strain-induced alveolar epithelial differentiation was inhibited by interfering with cell binding to laminin using soluble laminin peptides (IKVIV or YIGSR) or blocking antibodies against integrin β1, α3, or α6. Additional studies were carried out with substrates coated directly with different nonactivating anti-integrin antibodies. Blocking integrin β1 and α6 binding sites inhibited both cell adhesion and differentiation, whereas inhibition of α3 prevented differentiation without altering cell attachment. These data demonstrate that various integrins contribute to mechanical control of type II lung epithelial cell differentiation on laminin substrates. However, they may act via distinct mechanisms, including some that are independent of their cell anchoring role.

Full textAbstract:
The enhancement of oral epithelial adhesion to the trans-mucosal material of dental implants may improve their long-term stability. The aim of this study is to investigate whether hydrothermal treatment with distilled water (HT-DW) applied to a Ti-6Al-4V (Ti64) alloy could improve epithelial cellular attachment. We hypothesized that this treatment would enhance the adsorption of proteins and the adhesion of gingival epithelial GE1 cells. This treatment changed the surface crystal structure into an anatase type of titanium oxide without an apparent change of surface roughness or topography. Nitrogen was not detected on the HT-DW-treated Ti64, which indicates decontamination. HT-DW-treated Ti64 exhibited a hydrophilic surface with a less than 10° angle of water contact. Adsorption of laminin-332 to the HT-DW-treated Ti64 was significantly greater than that of the untreated Ti64 plates (64). The number of GE1 cells on the HT-DW-treated Ti64 at 1 and 3 days was significantly lower than that on 64; however, cell adhesion strength on HT-DW was greater, with a higher expression of integrin β4, compared with 64. This indicates that the HT-DW treatment of Ti64 improves the integration of GE1 cells, which might facilitate the development of a soft tissue barrier around the implant.

Full textAbstract:
Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) is involved in a variety of different cellular processes including cell adhesion, tumor progression, and angiogenesis. This paper reports the novel finding that TSP-1 upregulates integrinα6 subunit in human keratinocytes and human breast cancer cells resulting in increased cell adhesion and tumor cell invasion. The effect of TSP-1 onα6 subunit expression was examined in human keratinocytes and breast adenocarcinoma cell lines (MDA-MB-231) treated with TSP-1 and in TSP-1 stably transfected breast cancer cells. TSP-1 upregulatedα6 message and protein in these cells as revealed by differential display, Northern and Western blot analysis and immunohistochemical localization studies. The increased expression ofα6 was shown to mediate adhesion and invasion of these cells to laminin, a major component of the basement membrane and extracellular matrix (ECM). These data suggest that TSP-1 plays an integral role in the attachment of cells to the ECM facilitating cell motility and angiogenesis.

Background. Loss ofLLGL1has been associated with loss of cellular adhesion and dissemination of cells from colorectal cancer and malignant melanoma. Regulation and relevance ofLLGL1were analyzed in gastric cancer patients with lymphatic and distant dissemination. Furthermore,LLGL1expression was analyzed in relation to the cellular adhesion proteinE-cadherin.Methods.LLGL1andE-cadherintranscription levels were evaluated in 56 gastric cancer patients and five gastric cancer cell lines. IHC staining forLLGL1was performed on 39 gastric cancer specimens.LLGL1was stably transfected intoLLGL1negative gastric cancer cell line SNU16 (del(17) (p11.2)) for functionalin vitroassays and a xenograft bioassay.Results. Gastric cancer specimens and cell lines displayedLLGL1andE-cadherinexpression levels with variable intensity. In gastric mucosa,LLGL1exhibited weak cytoplasmic and strong cortical staining. Loss ofLLGL1expression occurred in 65% of gastric cancers and significantly correlated with loss ofE-cadherinexpression (P=0.00009). Loss ofLLGL1expression was associated with the diffuse type of gastric cancer (P=0.029) with peritoneal carcinomatosis (M1; P=0.006) and with female gender (P=0.017). Stable reexpression ofLLGL1in SNU16 cells significantly increased both plastic surface adhesion and extracellular matrix proteins laminin and fibronectin, but had no impact onin vitroproliferation, apoptosis, or invasion or onin vivoproliferation or differentiation in our xenograft bioassay.Conclusion.LLGL1is coexpressed withE-cadherin.Loss of expression of either protein is associated with diffuse gastric cancer and peritoneal metastases.LLGL1does not impact on proliferation or epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) rather increasing cellular adhesion.

Abstract Abstract 1654 The interaction of sickle red cells (SS RBCs) with endothelium can cause endothelial injury, leading to increased expression of soluble endothelial cell adhesion molecules and plasma markers of endothelial activation and dysfunction. Among such plasma markers, sVCAM-1 levels are increased in SCD and rise further during vaso-occlusive crisis (Duits et al. 1993), and several groups have shown that sVCAM-1 levels are positively related to LDH levels, a marker of hemolysis. Perfusion of endothelial cells with SS RBCs has been shown to increase the expression of the cellular adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 by endothelial cells (Shiu et al. 2000). Furthermore, sVCAM-1, sICAM-1, and sE-selectin have been independently associated with risk of mortality (Kato et al. 2005). We were interested in determining whether identifiable characteristics of SS RBCs themselves might be associated with the degree to which soluble adhesion molecules are expressed in SCD patient plasma. Therefore, we measured sVCAM-1, sICAM-1, sCD40 ligand (sCD40L) and sP-selectin in SCD patient plasma by ELISA (n=46) and looked at the relationship of these biomarkers of disease activity to SS RBC characteristics. We specifically examined phosphatidylserine exposure (as measured by annexin V binding analyzed by flow cytometry) and the degree of SS RBC adhesion to laminin and endothelial cells, measured in vitro in a graduated height flow chamber. We found that the degree of red cell damage measured by annexin V binding correlated with the level of soluble adhesion receptors sVCAM-1 (p=0.036) and sICAM-1 (p=0.026). However, annexin V binding did not correlate with sCD40L or sP-selectin expression in plasma, and neither annexin V binding nor levels of soluble adhesion molecules correlated with SS RBC adhesion to laminin or endothelial cells in vitro. In addition, the concentrations of sVCAM-1 and sICAM-1 in plasma were strongly correlated with each other (p<0.0001), suggesting that both of these adhesion molecules may be released from activated endothelial cells in SCD patients as a result of the same mechanism involving contact with phosphatidylserine-exposing SS RBCs. These data support the hypothesis that phosphatidylserine exposure on SS RBCs is a critical factor in SS RBC interaction with the endothelium (Setty et al., 2002), including the release of soluble cellular adhesion markers that indicate endothelial activation and/or injury.

Full textAbstract:
In Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), deficiency of the protein dystrophin results in necrosis of muscle myofibres, associated with lesions in the sarcolemma and surrounding basal lamina. Dystrophin has been proposed to be a major component of the sub-sarcolemmal cytoskeleton involved in maintaining the integrity of the myofibre plasma membrane, and is known to associate with a group of sarcolemmal glycoproteins, one of which exhibits high affinity binding to the basal lamina component laminin. However, a direct or indirect transmembrane association of dystrophin in muscle cells with the myofibre basal lamina has not been demonstrated. To address this question we have examined dystrophin immunostaining and immunoprecipitation patterns in cultured mouse and human myotubes in comparison with that of the basal lamina component, laminin. Dual-immunolabelling revealed virtually complete co-localization of dystrophin on the inside surface of the muscle cell sarcolemma with plaques and veined arrays of laminin accumulating on the extracellular face. This pattern of laminin and dystrophin distribution was distinct from that of other cell surface molecules expressed in myotubes such as the neural cell adhesion molecule, NCAM, and the beta 1 integrin receptor, and immunoprecipitation of dystrophin from solubilized myotube extracts resulted in co-purification of laminin B1 chain confirming an association between these two components. The results thus provide the first direct cellular evidence of a transmembrane linkage between dystrophin in the sarcolemmal cytoskeleton with laminin in the overlying basal lamina. While the immunocytochemical distribution of laminin was apparently normal in dystrophin-deficient muscle cells, elevated levels of soluble laminin were present in extracts of mdx compared with normal mouse skeletal muscle.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Integrins from the very late activation antigen (VLA) subfamily are involved in cellular attachment to extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and in intercellular adhesions. It is known that the interaction of integrin proteins with their ligands can be regulated during cellular activation. We have investigated the regulation of different VLA-mediated adhesive interactions through the common beta 1 chain. We have found that certain anti-beta 1 antibodies strongly enhance binding of myelomonocytic U-937 cells to fibronectin. This beta 1-mediated regulatory effect involved both VLA-4 and VLA-5 fibronectin receptors. Moreover, anti-beta 1 mAb also induced VLA-4-mediated binding to a recombinant soluble form of its endothelial cell ligand VCAM-1. Non-activated peripheral blood T lymphocytes, unable to mediate VLA-4 interactions with fibronectin or VCAM-1, acquired the ability to bind these ligands in the presence of anti-beta 1 mAb. The anti-beta 1-mediated changes in the affinities of beta 1 integrin for their ligands were comparable to those triggered by different lymphocyte activation agents such as anti-CD3 mAb or phorbol ester. Adhesion of melanoma cells to other ECM proteins such as laminin or collagen as well as that of alpha 2-transfected K-562 cells to collagen, was also strongly enhanced by anti-beta 1 mAb. These beta 1-mediated regulatory effects on different VLA-ligand interactions do not involve changes in cell surface membrane expression of different VLA heterodimers. The anti-beta 1-mediated functional effects required an active metabolism, cytoskeleton integrity and the existence of physiological levels of intracellular calcium as well as a functional Na+/H+ antiporter. Beta 1 antibodies not only increased cell attachment but also promoted spreading and cytoplasmic extension of endothelial cells on plates coated with either fibronectin, collagen, or laminin as well as induced the rapid appearance of microspikes in U-937 cells on fibronectin. Moreover, both beta 1 integrin and the cytoskeletal protein talin colocalized in the anti-beta 1 induced microspikes. These results emphasize the central role of the common beta 1 chain in regulating different adhesive functions mediated by VLA integrins as well as cellular morphology.
