Role of Integrin Receptors for Fibronectin,Collagen and Laminin in the Regulation of Ovarian Carcinoma Functions in Response to a Matrix Microenvironment 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
Integrins play an important role in cellular matrix interactions requisite for cancer cell adhesion, growth, migration and
invasion. In this study, we have investigated the expression of integrin subunits α3, α6, αv and β1 in normal ovaries, benign
ovarian tumors and ovarian carcinomas of different pathological grades. The expression of these integrins in ovarian cancer
cell lines was also investigated, and their role in sustaining proliferation, adhesion, migration and invasion in cohort with
the activation of signaling pathways in response to extracellular matrices (ECM) was evaluated. We demonstrate a differential
expression pattern of α3, α6, αv and β1 integrin subunits in ovarian carcinomas compared to normal ovaries and benign ovarian
tumors. Ovarian cancer cell lines (Hey, Ovcar3 and Peo.36) demonstrated significantly high expression of α3, α6, αv and β1
integrin subunits. A significant increase in proliferation and adhesion (P<0.05) in response to collagen 1 (Coll) and laminin (LM), ligands for integrin receptor α3β1 and α6β1 was observed in ovarian
cancer cell lines. On the other hand, fibronectin (FN), a receptor for αvβ1 integrin, increased proliferation in all ovarian
cancer cell lines studied but only enhanced adhesion in Hey cell line (P<0.05). Neutralizing antibodies against α3, α6, αv and β1 integrin subunits inhibited ECM-induced proliferation, but increased
adhesion to ECM was inhibited by β1 integrin subunit antibody. No suppression of Coll, LM and FN-induced (Hey cells only)
adhesion was observed in the presence of α3 or αv subunit antibodies but LM-induced adhesion was inhibited by blocking α6
subunit functions. LM, FN and Coll enhanced chemotactic migration in Hey cells, but direct invasion across ECM was observed
only in the presence of LM and Coll. Blocking antibodies against α3, α6 and β1 integrin subunits inhibited both chemotactic
migration and invasion of Hey cells in response to respective ECM. Adhesion of ovarian cancer cells to FN, Coll and LM activated
Ras, Erk and Akt pathways. Neutralizing αv and β1 functions did not inhibit FN-induced activation of Ras and Erk pathways
but inhibited the Akt pathway. On the other hand, antibodies against α6 and β1 subunits, but not α3 subunit, inhibited LM-induced
activation of Ras but did not inhibit the downstream Akt pathway. Neutralizing β1 subunit function however, inhibited LM-induced
Erk activation. Coll-induced activation of Ras, Erk and Akt pathways was inhibited by α3 and β1 integrin subunit antibodies.
These results indicate that α3β1, αvβ1 and α6β1 integrin mediate proliferation, adhesion, migration and invasion of ovarian
cancer cells in response to ECM and targeting these integrins to modulate integrin–ECM interactions in tumor cells may be
a promising tool to reduce the dissemination of ovarian carcinoma in vivo. 相似文献

We examined the effect of adhesion polypeptides on the adhesion and invasiveness of gastric cancer cell lines. We previously reported the establishment of an extensively peritoneal-seeding cell line, OCUM-2MD3, from a poorly seeding human scirrhous gastric carcinoma cell line, OCUM-2M. Both 21 and 31 integrin expression was markedly increased on OCUM-2MD3 cells compared with OCUM-2M cells, and the ability of OCUM-2MD3 cells to bind to the extracellular matrix (ECM) was also significantly higher than that of OCUM-2M cells. The adhesion polypeptides, YIGSR and RGD, and two RGD derivatives significantly inhibited the adhesion of OCUM-2MD3 cells to the submesothelial ECM, while not inhibiting the adhesiveness of OCUM-2M cells and two well differentiated human gastric cell lines, MKN-28 and MKN-74. The YIGSR and RGD peptides also significantly inhibited the invasiveness of OCUM-2MD3 cells. The survival of nude mice with peritoneal dissemination given YIGSR sequenc e intraperitoneally was obviously longer than that of untreated mice. The survival of mice treated with RGD was also improved, and this effect was increased using the RGD derivatives, poly(CEMA-RGDS) and CM-chitin RGDS. These polypeptides appear to block the binding of integrins, which are expressed on OCUM-2MD3 cells, to the submesothelial ECM, and consequently inhibit peritoneal implantation. The peritoneal injection of adhe-sion polypeptides may be a new therapy against the dissemination of scirrhous gastric cancer, and may be useful for the prevention of dissemination in high-risk patients. © Rapid Science Ltd. 相似文献

Inhibitory effects of a specific phage-displayed peptide on high peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Peritoneal dissemination in gastric cancer is the most frequent cause of the noncurative resection and recurrence after curative resection. We, therefore, evaluated the feasibility of a peptide, which was obtained by screening a random phage display library, in the treatment of peritoneal metastases of gastric cancer. In this study, a novel cell line, GC9811-P, with a high potential peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer derived from its parental cell line, GC9811, was established. Using a phage display library, we isolated a specific peptide that selectively bound to GC9811-P cells rather than its parental GC9811cells. The isolated phage-displaying peptide, SMSIASPYIALE (named peptide PIII), was obtained after four rounds of selection, showing a tendency to preferentially bind to GC9811-P cells compared with a panel of other gastric cancer cell lines, and preferentially accumulate in peritoneal metastasis tumor tissue in comparison with control organs, peritoneum, liver, pancreas, spleen, lung, and kidney. Further study showed that synthetic peptide PIII could significantly inhibit adhesive and invasional ability of GC9811-P cells and could effectively block the corresponding phage binding to the GC9811-P cells, whereas, exposure of the cells to various concentrations of peptide PIII showed no obvious cell growth inhibition. Furthermore, a highly reproducible animal experimental model of gastric cancer with peritoneal dissemination was established in nude mice by injecting a suspension of the cell line into the gastric wall of nude mice. Animals intraperitoneally treated with peptide PIII in this model or another animal model of gastric cancer with peritoneal dissemination established using MKN45 cells showed suppressed tumor metastasis to peritoneum and significantly prolonged survival. In conclusion, the selected peptide PIII was a biologically active peptide and could effectively inhibit peritoneal dissemination of gastric cancer. 相似文献

The integrin αvβ3 is involved in multiple aspects of malignant cancer, including tumor angiogenesis and metastasis, which makes the receptor
a key target for the development of anti-cancer therapies. We report here on the production, the characterization and the
in vivo anti-angiogenic and anti-metastatic properties of a novel αvβ3-binding disintegrin, DisBa-01, isolated from a cDNA library made with RNAs from the venom gland of Bothrops alternatus. The 11,637 Da-recombinant monomeric form of DisBa-01 displayed an RGD motif and interacted with purified αvβ3 integrin in surface plasmon resonance studies, in a dose-dependent and cation sensitive manner. A three-dimensional molecular
model of DisBa-01 in complex with αvβ3 predicted a large surface of contacts with the β3 subunit. DisBa-01 inhibited the adhesion of αvβ3-expressing human microvascular endothelial cell line-1 (HMEC-1) and murine melanoma cell line B16F10 to vitronectin (IC50 = 555 nM and 225 nM, respectively), and transiently inhibited their proliferation without direct cell toxicity, but did not
affect the binding nor the proliferation of a human breast cancer-derived cell line (MDA-MB-231) not expressing αvβ3. In vivo, DisBa-01 dose-dependently decreased bFGF-induced angiogenesis in a matrigel plug assay in athymic nude mice (IC50 = 83 nM). When injected intravenously to C57BL/6 mice together with B16F10 melanoma cells, DisBa-01 time- and dose-dependently inhibited lung metastasis monitored by bioluminescent imaging. We conclude that DisBa-01 is a potent new inhibitor of αvβ3-dependent adherence mechanisms involved in neo-vascularization and tumor metastasis processes.

The adhesion of different epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR) expressing cell lines to various extracellular matrix
(ECM) proteins is influenced by EGF. To investigate a putative receptor cross-talk between EGFR and integrins we chose two
cell lines for a more detailed analysis: the highly metastatic rat mammary carcinoma clone MTLn3 that showed increased adhesion
to a panel of ECM proteins in the presence of 10 ng/ml EGF and the nonmetastatic human vulva carcinoma cell line A431 which
showed a decreased adhesion under the same conditions. These EGF-mediated stimulatory or inhibitory effects on adhesion were
observed within a few minutes. On human A431 cells the inhibitory effect was blocked by an EGFR-specific antibody that interferes
with ligand binding. In cell adhesion assays performed in the presence of divalent cations MTLn3 and A431 cells exhibited
the typical behavior described for integrin-dependent matrix adhesion: Mn2+ enhanced binding to collagen IV and fibronectin whereas Ca2+ inhibited adhesion to collagen IV but not to fibronectin. Adhesion-inhibition assays with anti-human integrin antibodies revealed
that A431 cells adhere to collagen via α1β1 and α2β1, and that adhesion to fibronectin is mediated predominantly through α5β1. The interaction of MTLn3 cells with fibronectin was in part RGD dependent, indicating the involvement of either α3β1 or α5β1. Addition of EGF in these assays showed that affecting the integrin extracellular domains by addition of either bivalent
cations, RGD peptides, or function-blocking integrin antibodies did not prevent the effects mediated by EGF. We conclude that
signals downstream of EGFR can modulate integrin-mediated adhesion to ECM proteins in both an inhibitory and a stimulatory
manner.

Use of RNA interference to inhibit integrin (α6β4)-mediated invasion and migration of breast carcinoma cells 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Lipscomb EA Dugan AS Rabinovitz I Mercurio AM 《Clinical & experimental metastasis》2003,20(6):569-576
The application of small interfering RNA (siRNA) oligonucleotides to silence gene expression has profound implications for
the intervention of human diseases including cancer. Using this technique, we explored the possibility that the α6β4 integrin,
a laminin adhesion receptor with a recognized role in the invasive phenotype of many carcinomas, represents a potential therapeutic
target to inhibit the migration and invasion of carcinoma cells. We found that siRNA oligonucleotides targeted to either subunit
of the α6β4 integrin reduced cell surface expression of this integrin and resulted in decreased invasion of MDA-MB-231 breast
carcinoma cells. Interestingly, reduced α6β4 expression also promoted decreased migration on non-laminin substrata indicating
that this integrin can function in a ligand-independent manner. In addition, the absence of β4 expression in these cells augmented
the formation of α6β1 heterodimers and increased adhesion to laminin-1. Taken together, these results substantiate the importance
of the α6β4 integrin in invasion and migration that has been demonstrated previously by expression of the β4 subunit in β4-deficient
cell lines and by function blocking antibodies. Furthermore, these data suggest that the utilization of siRNA oligonucleotides
to reduce the expression of the α6β4 integrin may be a useful approach to prevent carcinoma cell progression.

The present study was performed to evaluate the role of neovascularization on the behavior of craniopharyngiomas as well as
the contribution of endothelial cell proliferation and migration in the remodeling and expansion of the vascular network associated
with angiogenesis. Fourteen primary tumors were studied, all of the adamantinomatous type. CD34 immunostaining, an endothelial
cell marker, localized vessels within the connective tissue stroma. MIB-1 immunopositivity was apparent in the nuclei of neoplastic
cells, few endothelial cells, and stromal elements. MIB-1 counts were higher in epithelial than connective tissue cells. A
positive correlation was found between the number of MIB-1 immunopositive cells and microvessel density (MVD). Immunohistochemistry
demonstrated that integrin αvβ3 expression was restricted to tumor vasculature; the tumor cells were immunonegative. Only 2.5% of vessels detected with
CD34 were immunopositive for integrin αvβ3. At present, no therapeutic implications can be drawn from our observations. More studies are needed to assess whether
integrin αvβ3 antagonists or drugs that arrest the cell cycle of endothelial cells can inhibit angiogenesis in craniopharyngiomas. 相似文献

Tumour cell adhesion to vascular extracellular matrix (ECM), an important step of metastatic progression, is promoted by platelets.
The aim of our study was to investigate, in whole blood under venous and arterial shear conditions, the respective role of
tumour cell αvβ3 and platelet αIIbβ3integrins in MDA-MB-231 breast adenocarcinoma cell adhesion to human umbilical vein endothelial cell ECM. For that purpose,
blood containing MDA-MB-231 cells was incubated with non-peptide antagonists specific for platelet αIIbβ3 (lamifiban) or tumour cell αvβ3 (SB-273005). At 300 s−1, each antagonist used alone did not modify tumour cell adhesion, whereas, at 1500 s−1, tumour cell adhesion was decreased by 25% in presence of lamifiban indicating a role of platelet αIIbβ3 at higher shear rate. However, a combination of SB-273005 and lamifiban, or c7E3 Fab (a potent inhibitor of both αIIbβ3 and αvβ3) inhibited tumour cell adhesion by 40–45%, at either shear rate applied, indicating a cooperation between these two integrins
in MDA-MB-231 cell adhesion to ECM, as well as the participation of other adhesive receptors on tumour cells and/or platelets.
Thus, efficient anti-metastatic therapy should target multiple receptors on tumour cells and platelets.

Inhibition of αvβ3 integrin reduces angiogenesis, bone turnover, and tumor cell proliferation in experimental prostate cancer bone metastases 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:3
Nemeth JA Cher ML Zhou Z Mullins C Bhagat S Trikha M 《Clinical & experimental metastasis》2003,20(5):413-420
The growth of metastatic prostate cancer cells in the bone involves an intimate interaction between the tumor cells and various
elements of the bone microenvironment, resulting in increased rate of bone turnover and rapid tumor growth. The αvβ3 integrin
has been shown to play an important role in tumor growth and angiogenesis, and is known to be critical to osteoclast formation
and activity. This study was designed to examine the role of αvβ3 expressed by cells native to the bone in the growth and
pathogenesis of prostate cancer bone metastases. Human prostate cancer cells which do not express αvβ3 or αIIbβ3 integrins
were injected directly into human bone fragments previously implanted subcutaneously in SCID mice (SCID-human-bone model).
At the same time treatment with anti-β3 antibody fragment (m7E3 F(ab′)2) i.p. at 300 μg/dose 3× per week was initiated and continued for 2 weeks. In this system, m7E3 F(ab′)2 only recognizes human bone-derived αvβ3. Antibody inhibition of αvβ3 integrin in vivo resulted in a specific reduction in the proportion of antigenically-human blood vessels within tumor-bearing bone implants
(from 73.5% ± 3.93 in controls to 17.74% ± 5.64 in treated animals). Proliferation of the αvβ3-negative tumor cells was also
reduced, although the overall vessel density was maintained by compensating mouse vasculature. Blockage of human bone-derived
αvβ3 also significantly reduced the recruitment of osteoclasts in response to tumor cells, as well as degradation of calcified
bone tissue. Together these observations confirm the importance of αvβ3 in bone metabolism and angiogenesis, and point to
the role of these processes in controlling growth of metastatic prostate cancer cells in the bone.

Motility of cancer cells plays a critical role in tumor metastasis, and as such is a target for intervention. The motility
of malignant Calu-1 human lung epithelial carcinoma cells is upregulated when placed on a human umbilical vein endothelial
cell monolayer, while that of non-malignant L132 human lung epithelial cells is not. To dissect the factor(s) causing such
differential behaviors, the motile responses of both cell lines to endothelial cell factors—secreted to the media, on the
endothelial cell surface, and secreted to the extracellular matrix—and to individual extracellular matrix proteins were compared.
Cell motility was quantified by tracking the cell movement on a surface with time-lapse video microscopy, which was analyzed
with the persistent random walk model of motility. None of the factors tested had a remarkable effect on L132 cell motility,
but the Calu-1 cell motility was significantly upregulated by endothelial cell extracellular matrix and by laminin, fibronectin,
collagen I and collagen VI individually. Flow cytometry analysis revealed significantly higher expression levels of integrin
subunits β1, α2, α3, and α6, which are known receptors for these extracellular matrix proteins, on the Calu-1 than L132 cells, implicating a role of
these integrins in the observed motile behaviors of these cell lines. 相似文献

Retroviral transfer of T cell antigen receptor (TCR) genes selected by circumventing tolerance to broad tumor- and leukemia-associated
antigens in human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A*0201 (A2.1) transgenic (Tg) mice allows the therapeutic reprogramming of human T lymphocytes. Using a human CD8×A2.1/Kb mouse-derived TCR specific for natural peptide-A2.1 (pA2.1) complexes comprising residues 81–88 of the human homolog of the
murine double-minute 2 oncoprotein, MDM2(81–88), we found that the heterodimeric CD8αβ coreceptor, but not normally expressed
homodimeric CD8αα, is required for tetramer binding and functional redirection of TCR-transduced human T cells. CD8+T cells that received a humanized derivative of the MDM2 TCR bound pA2.1 tetramers only in the presence of an anti-human-CD8
antibody and required more peptide than wild-type (WT) MDM2 TCR+ T cells to mount equivalent cytotoxicity. They were, however, sufficiently effective in recognizing malignant targets including
fresh leukemia cells. Most efficient expression of transduced TCR in human T lymphocytes was governed by mouse as compared
to human constant (C) αβ domains, as demonstrated with partially humanized and murinized TCR of primary mouse and human origin,
respectively. We further observed a reciprocal relationship between the level of Tg WT mouse relative to natural human TCR
expresion, resulting in T cells with decreased normal human cell surface TCR. In contrast, natural human TCR display remained
unaffected after delivery of the humanized MDM2 TCR. These results provide important insights into the molecular basis of
TCR gene therapy of malignant disease.

Our previous comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) study revealed a novel amplified region at 15q26 in two cell lines established
from diffuse types of gastric cancer (GC). In this amplified region, FES and IGF1R, known targets on 15q26, were located telomeric to the amplicon in the two cell lines, HSC39 and 40A, suggesting that another
tumor-associated gene exists in this region. While screening expressed sequence tags (ESTs) for novel genes in this region,
we identified the IQGAP1 amplification. IQGAP1 has been reported to encode a ras GAP-related protein, and its interaction with cadherin and/or β-catenin induces a dissociation
of β-catenin from the cadherin-catenin complex, one of the mechanisms for cell-cell adhesion. Northern and Western blot analyses
revealed that amplification of this gene was accompanied by corresponding increases in mRNA and protein expression. Moreover,
immunocytochemical staining showed that overexpressed IQGAP1 accumulated at the membrane, suggesting its colocalization with
β-catenin. Taken together, these findings suggest that IQGAP1 may be one of the target genes in the 15q26 amplicon correlated with a malignant phenotype of gastric cancer cells, such
as diffuse and invasive characteristics, through the disruption of E-cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion.

Objective and design: We previously described the visceral antinociceptive property of α, β-amyrin in a mouse model of cystitis induced by cyclophosphamide
(CPM). This study examined the contribution of vanilloid-1 (TRPV1), peripheral NK1 receptors to CPM-evoked nociceptive behaviors
and bladder edema, and its possible modulation by α, β-amyrin.
Methods: The effect of α, β-amyrin (10, 30, and 100 mg/kg, p. o.) and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on CPM (400 mg/kg, i. p.)-induced cystitis
was studied in mice. Sensory deafferentation was done by a high dose capsaicin. The parameters analysed were: CPM-evoked noxious
behaviors, bladder edema, vascular permeability, and NK1 immunoreactivity. To assess the role of K+
ATP channels in α, β-amyrin effect, animals were pretreated with glibenclamide.
Results: α, β-amyrin (30 and 100 mg/kg) and NAC significantly (p < 0.01) suppressed the visceral pain-related behaviors and NK1 immunoreactivity, but bladder edema was reduced weakly. Glibenclamide reversed the effects of α, β-amyrin. Sensory deafferentation
by capsaicin significantly reduced the nociceptive responses and the NK1 immunoreactivity to noxious stimulation by CPM.
Conclusions: α, β-amyrin attenuates CPM-induced visceral pain and bladder edema by mechanisms that involve, at least in part, a block either
of Substance P release or its receptor function, and partly by opening K+
ATP channels.

Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a malignant tumor often involving the abdominal and/or pelvic peritoneum. Only
one fully documented example has arisen in the central nervous system (CNS). Herein, we describe two additional examples,
fulfilling the morphologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular criteria (EWS/WT1 translocation) of DSRCT. Both arose in the
cerebellopontine angle (CPA) and underwent spinal dissemination. Patient 1, a 37-year-old male, underwent a subtotal resection,
and 2 years later died of recurrent disease with spinal dissemination. Patient 2, a 39-year-old man, presented with cerebellar
and CPA lesions as well as spinal leptomeningeal deposits. After 27 months of adjuvant therapy, he is alive with progressive
disease. In conclusion, CNS DSRCT follows a similar aggressive course as do peritoneal examples. Although rare, DSRCT warrants
consideration in the differential diagnosis of “malignant small blue cell tumors” of the CNS.

The anti-inflammatory activities of kakkalide, a major constituent of the flower of Pueraria thunbergiana, and irisolidone, a metabolite of kakkalide produced by intestinal microflora, against carrageenan-induced inflammation in
air pouches on the backs of mice and in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated peritoneal macrophages were investigated. Kakkalide
and irisolidone down-regulated the gene expression of cytokines [tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1 beta
(IL-1β)] and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, TNF-α and IL-1β, and inflammatory
mediators, NO and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), in LPS-stimulated peritoneal macrophages. These agents also inhibited the phosphorylation of IκB-α and the nuclear translocation
of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB). Orally administered kakkalide and irisolidone significantly reduced carrageenan-induced
inflammatory markers, leukocyte number, and protein amount in the exudates of the air pouch. These constituents also inhibited
PGE2 production and COX-2 inducible nitric oxide synthase, IL-1β, and TNF-α expression. These agents also inhibited NF-κB activation.
The anti-inflammatory effects of irisolidone were more potent than those of kakkalide. Based on these findings, kakkalide
and irisolidone may inhibit inflammatory reactions via NF-κB pathway, and irisolidone, a metabolite of kakkalide, may more
potently inhibit these inflammatory reactions. 相似文献

The effects and potential molecular mechanisms underlying carbon dioxide (CO2) pneumoperitoneum on gastric cancer cell apoptosis are not fully understood. In this study, we assessed the effects of CO2 pneumoperitoneum on the apoptosis of MKN-45 gastric cancer cells. Additionally, we investigated the role of HIF-1α in CO2 pneumoperitoneum-induced apoptosis of gastric cancer cells. MKN-45 cells were cultured in CO2 or air pneumoperitoneum at 0, 12 and 15 mmHg pressures for 4 h. We observed a change in cells morphology and increasing apoptotic
ratios in MKN-45 cells when they were put into a 15 mmHg CO2 pneumoperitoneum environment. However, there was no significant difference between the 0, 12 mmHg CO2 pneumoperitoneum and the control groups. Exposure to 15 mmHg CO2 pneumoperitoneum significantly enhanced the expression levels of HIF-1α and Bax, while it attenuated Bcl-2 expression levels.
When we inhibited HIF-1α by small interfering RNA (siRNA), we found that the apoptotic ratio of MKN-45 cells decreased in
15 mmHg CO2 pneumoperitoneum. This treatment markedly elevated Bcl-2 levels and decreased Bax expression. These data suggest that CO2 pneumoperitoneum may accelerate the apoptosis of MKN-45 cells at higher pressures. HIF-1α is a crucial factor that affects
gastric cancer cell apoptosis by downregulating the Bcl-2/Bax ratio. 相似文献

HT-29 colon carcinoma cells attach to TNFα-activated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) by their specific binding
to E-selectin. This interaction activates, in the cancer cells, the MAPK SAPK2/p38, which leads to their transendothelial
migration (Laferrière et al., J Biol Chem 2001; 276: 33762). In this study, we investigated the role of E-selectin in activating
integrins to modulate adhesion and regulate integrin-mediated events. Blocking the integrins from HT-29 cells (α2, α3, α6,
αvβ5, β1 and β4) with specific antibodies revealed a role for β4 integrin in their adhesion to TNFα-treated HUVEC. The β4
integrin-dependent adhesion was maximal after 30 min, whereas the-E-selectin-dependent adhesion was maximal after 15 min.
Integrin β4 became quickly phosphorylated upon addition of HT-29 cells to endothelial cells and the effect was independent
of the expression of E-selectin. Moreover, a recombinant E-selectin/Fc chimera did not induce the phosphorylation of β4. The
phosphorylation of β4 is not required for adhesion since adhesion was not affected in HT-29 cells that express a truncated
form of β4 that is deleted from its cytoplasmic phosphorylatable domain. However, the expression of the non-phosphorylatable
deletant of β4 was associated with decreased transendothelial cell migration underscoring the key role for the cytoplasmic
domain of β4 in cell migration. We suggest: 1) that the adhesion of HT-29 cells to activated endothelial cells follows at
least two essential sequential steps involving the binding of E-selectin to its receptor on carcinoma cells and then the binding
of β4 to its own receptor on endothelial cells; 2) that the phosphorylation of integrin β4 contributes to enhance the motile
potential of cancer cells and increase their trans-endothelial migration. Overall, our results indicate that the interaction
of metastatic cancer cells with endothelial cells implies a specific sequence of signaling events that ultimately leads to
an increase in their efficient transendothelial migration.

Endothelial cells in vivo are exposed to blood shear forces and flow perturbations induce their activation. Such modifications of hemodynamic can be
observed in patients with cancer. We have submitted endothelial cells (HUVEC) to shear stress (13 dynes/cm2) and isolated their extracellular matrix (ECM) prior perfusion with breast adenocarcinoma cells (MDA-MB-231) in whole blood
at a shear rate of 1500 s−1. Exposure of HUVEC to 13 dynes/cm2 (τ13) for 2 h enhanced the secretion of von Willebrand factor (vWF) and thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) in the ECM. Moreover, MDA-MB-231
cell adhesion was enhanced to such treated-ECM. This over-adhesion was inhibited by pre-incubating the ECM with anti-vWF or
anti-TSP-1 antibodies, or by blocking tumour cell αvβ3 integrin. Although blood platelets were involved in tumour cell adhesion to ECM, blockade of platelet GPIb or αIIbβ3 receptors did not specifically inhibit the enhanced tumour cell adhesion observed on τ13. ECM. These findings indicate that shear stress can modulate the expression of adhesive proteins in ECM, which favours direct
tumour cell adhesion via αvβ3 and other receptors. 相似文献
