The aim of this study was to visualize integrin expression by cells in interface tissue in relation to their ligands. Tissue samples were obtained from 25 patients undergoing revision of aseptically loose total joint replacements. Serial sections were immunolabeled for the integrins alpha(2)beta(1), alpha(v)beta(3), alpha(4)beta(1), alpha(L)beta(2) (CD11a), alpha(M)beta(2) (CD11b), and alpha(X)beta(2) (CD11c), and the ligands fibronectin, laminin, vitronectin, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, and vascular adhesion molecule-1. Most cells were found to express alpha(2)beta(1), most macrophages and giant cells expressed CD11b, and the majority of CD11a was found on perivascular T lymphocytes. From the small amount of alpha(4)beta(1) and vascular adhesion molecule-1 expression in the interface tissue and the combination of CD11a, CD11b, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression, it would seem that macrophages use beta(2) integrins to transmigrate. 相似文献

Vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in the media of normal arteries express alpha 1 beta 1 integrin with no detectable alpha 2 beta 1 as determined by immunocytochemistry. In contrast, immunoprecipitation of integrins expressed by human SMCs cultured from medial explants shows strong expression of alpha 2 beta 1 and no expression of alpha 1 beta 1. The apparent reciprocal expression of these two collagen and laminin receptors was confirmed by flow cytometric analysis of fluorescent labeled cells. Freshly isolated SMCs had detectable alpha 1, alpha 3, alpha 5, and alpha v subunits with low levels of detectable beta 3 and no detectable alpha 2. Cultured SMCs expressed alpha 2, alpha 3, alpha 5 and alpha v subunits with little or no alpha 1 or beta 3. Neither alpha 4 nor alpha 6 were detectable in freshly isolated or cultured cells. Expression of alpha 2 beta 1 receptors by cultured SMCs appears to be required for the migration of these cells on type I collagen. Migration of cultured SMCs across a type I collagen-coated membrane toward two different chemotactic stimuli, platelet-derived growth factor-BB (1 nmol/L) and insulin-like growth factor-(1 nmol/L), was Mg2+ dependent and inhibited by preincubation of cells with an affinity-purified polyclonal anti-alpha 2 beta 1 antibody or by monoclonal antibodies directed against the individual alpha 2 or beta 1 subunits. Attachment to type 1 collagen membranes was not affected by antibodies under conditions where migration was significantly impeded. The combined data show that SMC expression of alpha 1 beta 1 and alpha 2 beta 1 integrin receptors for collagen and laminin is dynamic and reciprocal and may be important with respect to SMC migration on type I collagen. These findings are potentially important in understanding the pathophysiology of vascular diseases, for example, atherosclerosis and restenosis following balloon angioplasty, where SMC migration is a contributing factor. 相似文献

The surface of a normal ovary is covered by a monolayer of epithelial cells that rest on a basement membrane. The glycoprotein laminin is the major noncollagenous protein present in the basement membrane. The integrins alpha 1 beta 1, alpha 2 beta 1, alpha 3 beta 1, alpha 6 beta 1, and alpha 6 beta 4 serve as cell surface receptors for laminin. During the progression of serous ovarian carcinoma, tumor cells are frequently exfoliated from the surface of the ovary, thereby losing contact with the basement membrane. This study was designed to determine whether alterations in integrin expression may be associated with the malignant phenotype of the primary ovarian tumor and exfoliated ovarian carcinoma cells in the ascites fluid. By immunohistochemical staining, the entire surface of epithelial cells of normal ovaries stained positively for beta 1, alpha 2, and alpha 3 integrins, whereas only the basal surface of the epithelial cells, where they are in contact with laminin, stained positively for alpha 6 and beta 4. The entire surface of epithelial cells of solid tumors from patients with serous ovarian carcinoma stained positively for beta 1, alpha 2, and alpha 3 integrins. In most cases, no intact basement membrane surrounded the tumor nests, and staining for alpha 6 and beta 4 was irregular. When present, the basement membrane stained positively for laminin, and the basal surface of the epithelial cells stained positively for alpha 6 and beta 4. Ovarian carcinoma ascites cells exhibited a distinct phenotype, with a significant decrease in expression of the alpha 6 and beta 4 integrin subunits. As alpha 6 and beta 4 integrin subunits are present at the basal surface of many epithelial cells and serve as receptors for laminin, it is possible that ovarian carcinoma epithelial cells may be released from the basement membrane of the ovary due to their deficit of alpha 6 and beta 4 integrin subunits. 相似文献

Disruptions in the mucosal lining of the gastrointestinal tract reseal by epithelial cell migration, a process termed restitution. We examined the involvement of laminin isoforms and their integrin receptors in restitution using the intestinal epithelial cell line T84. T84 cells express primarily laminins 5, 6, and 7 as indicated by immunostaining using laminin subunit-specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). A MAb (BM2) specific for the laminin alpha 3 subunit, a component of laminins 5, 6, and 7, completely inhibited the closure of mechanical wounds in T84 monolayers. Confocal microscopy using MAbs BM2 (laminin alpha 3 subunit) and 6F12 (laminin beta 3 subunit) revealed that laminin-5 is deposited in a basal matrix that extends into the wound. The MAbs 4E10 (laminin beta 1 subunit) and C4 (laminin beta 2 subunit) stained the lateral membranes between T84 cells. This staining was enhanced in cells adjoining wounds. Because T84 cells stained faintly with MAbs 4C7 (laminin alpha 1 subunit) and with MAbs 4F11 and 1B4 (laminin alpha 2 subunit), we suggest that expression of laminins 6 and 7 is enhanced in response to wounding. The alpha 3 beta 1 integrin and the alpha 6-containing integrins function in wound closure because MAbs specific for the beta 1 integrin subunit (MAb13), the alpha 3 subunit (IVA5), and the alpha 6 subunit (2B7) potently inhibited T84 migration into wounds. Immunofluorescence using UMA9, a beta 4-integrin-specific MAb, revealed that alpha 6 beta 4 integrin exists in a Triton-X-100-insoluble structure at the basal surface and that the staining of this structure is enhanced in cells adjoining wounds. In addition, a Triton-X-100-soluble pool of alpha 6 beta 4, as well as alpha 3 beta 1 and presumably alpha 6 beta 1, was found along lateral surfaces of T84 cells. On flattened cells adjoining wounds, staining for these integrins was distributed diffusely, suggesting a redistribution that accompanies cell migration. Taken together, these data suggest that wound-induced epithelial cell migration is a finely tuned process that is dependent upon the regulated function and localization of specific laminins and their integrin receptors. 相似文献

In this study, we describe the immunocytochemical distribution of the beta 1 integrins (alpha 1 to alpha 6) and their extracellular matrix ligands in human peripheral lymphoid tissues. The results show that within these tissues individual beta 1 integrins are differentially expressed by (sub)populations of stromal cells, including reticular cells, endothelial cells, epithelial cells, and sinus lining cells. The extracellular matrix components studied, eg, collagen I, III, and VI, fibronectin, laminin, and vitronectin, were predominantly associated with the stroma of the lymphoid tissues, and a unique distribution pattern was observed for each of them. Except for alpha 4 (and beta 1), low or no expression of the beta 1 integrins was found on lymphocytes, macrophages, interdigitating cells, and follicular dendritic cells. The results suggest that cell-matrix interactions play a major role in the maintenance of the complex spatial organization of the lymphoid tissue. 相似文献

We compared the expression of cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion proteins by sinusoidal endothelial cells in normal human liver, in which the endothelial lining of hepatic sinusoids is discontinuous and devoid of basement membrane, and in cirrhosis, during which sinusoids might undergo a process of capillarization and acquire a continuous lining and a typical basement membrane. In normal liver, sinusoidal endothelial cells displayed a very restricted repertory of cell-adhesion molecules: the intercellular adhesion molecules PECAM-1 and CD34 were undetectable and only two integrins, alpha 1 beta 1 and alpha 5 beta 1, were present, whereas the laminin receptors alpha 6 beta 1 and alpha 2 beta 1 were undetectable and the beta 3 integrins were faintly expressed. In capillarized sinusoids, sinusoidal endothelial cells displayed striking changes in their repertory of cell-adhesion molecules, including the expression of PECAM-1 protein and messenger RNAs and the induction of the laminin receptors alpha 6 beta 1 and alpha 2 beta 1. Such changes co-localized with subendothelial laminin deposits. In conclusion, normal sinusoidal endothelial cells express a distinctive set of cell-adhesion molecules, adapted to their structural and microenvironmental characteristics, and this repertory is dramatically modified during sinusoidal capillarization, possibly as a consequence of the concomitant matrix changes. 相似文献

Extracellular matrix alterations have been suggested to be part of the early events occurring in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD), a disease characterized by formation of renal cysts and progressive renal failure. Here we report that cDNA array analysis identified beta(4) integrin aberrant expression in ADPKD cells. Furthermore, laminin 5 (Ln-5), the main alpha(6)beta(4) integrin ligand, was also found to be abnormally expressed in ADPKD. Studies performed with ADPKD cyst-lining epithelial cells (CC) by comparison with normal tubular cells indicate that integrin alpha(6)beta(4)-Ln-5 interactions are involved in cellular events of potential importance for cystogenesis: 1) laminin 5 is a preferential adhesion substrate for CC, mainly through alpha(6)beta(4) interaction, 2) CC increased haptotactic and chemotactic motility depends on the presence of Ln-5 and requires integrin alpha(3)beta(1) cooperation, and 3) CC haptotactic or chemotactic migration is specifically increased by mAb-mediated beta(4) integrin ligation, through an alpha(3)beta(1) integrin-dependent and independent pathway, respectively. These results highlight the role of Ln-5 and alpha(6)beta(4) integrin in adhesive and motility properties of cyst-lining epithelial cells, and further suggest that integrins and extracellular matrix modifications may be of general relevance to kidney epithelial cell cyst formation. 相似文献

Distribution of integrin cell adhesion receptors in normal and malignant lung tissue. 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13

The integrins are a family of transmembrane glycoproteins that serve as cell-cell and cell-substratum adhesion molecules and help regulate cellular morphology, differentiation, and proliferation. The integrin repertoire of a cell may therefore influence its behavior under resting conditions or following malignant transformation. For this reason, the distribution of integrins in normal lung tissues was determined using monoclonal antibodies against integrins of the beta 1 (VLA) and beta 3 (cytoadhesin) subfamilies and compared with the distribution in a limited number of lung carcinomas. The integrin subunits that bind to collagen and laminin (alpha 1, alpha 2, alpha 3, and alpha 6) and the alpha subunit, which can pair with beta 1, beta 3, or beta 5 and promote fibronectin, fibrinogen, or vitronectin binding, were the predominant integrins expressed on the major cell types of the lung, i.e., bronchial epithelium, vascular endothelium, and smooth muscle. Strong expression of the alpha 5 beta 1 fibronectin receptor and the beta 3 subunit was restricted to the endothelium of large vessels. Integrin expression by the lung carcinoma cells was somewhat heterogeneous; however, the tumors tended to express fewer integrins than did the normal bronchial epithelium. 相似文献

Integrins are membrane receptors, consisting of an alpha and a beta subunit, which are involved in cell adhesion. Their extracellular domain is able to bind to ligands such as laminin which occurs in basement membranes of various kinds of cells. Most of these integrins, with their intracellular domains, interact with the actin-containing cytoskeleton, via linking proteins such as vinculin and talin, while one of them interacts with the keratin filaments, via an as yet unknown linking molecule(s). Among more than eighteen integrins which have been identified to date, integrins alpha 3 beta 1 and alpha 6 beta 1 have been characterized as laminin receptors. They recognize the laminin long arm E8 fragment obtained after elastase digestion of the molecule. The binding requires the presence of divalent cations which bind to specific sites on the integrin alpha subunit. The affinities of the alpha 3 beta 1 and alpha 6 beta 1 integrins for murine and human laminin are different, which is probably depended on the existence of different isoforms of laminin. When cells have adhered to laminin, the alpha 6 beta 1 integrin localizes in focal contacts in which actin microfilaments are anchored to the plasma membrane. Whether another integrin, the alpha 6 beta 4 complex, of epidermal cells is also a laminin receptor has not yet been confirmed. The alpha 6 beta 4 integrin localizes in hemidesmosomes which are attachment structures to the substratum where intermediate (keratin) filaments are anchored.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The integrin superfamily of adhesion receptors mediates interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix. Our earlier immunohistochemical analysis showed that normal mammary epithelium expressed high levels of the alpha 2 beta 1 collagen/laminin receptor and intermediate levels of the alpha 5 beta 1 fibronectin receptor. In contrast, malignant cells of adenocarcinoma of the breast exhibited marked diminution or loss of the alpha 2 beta 1 and alpha 5 beta 1 integrins. We have now evaluated the level of alpha 2, alpha 5, and beta 1 integrin subunit messenger (m)RNA by in situ hybridization in adenocarcinoma of the breast. Normal breast ducts and ductules expressed high levels of all three integrin subunit mRNAs. Poorly differentiated lesions expressed low to undetectable levels of alpha 2, alpha 5, and beta 1 mRNA. Well- and moderately differentiated lesions expressed all three subunits at intermediate levels. Thus, decreased expression of the alpha 2 beta 1 and alpha 5 beta 1 integrins in mammary carcinoma is the result of decreased steady-state integrin subunit mRNA levels due to altered expression of the integrin genes. 相似文献

We investigated the role of parasite-bound laminin and the host cell beta 1 integrin receptors for this extracellular matrix protein in Toxoplasma gondii binding to fibroblasts. Laminin but not fibronectin was detected on extracellular tachyzoites by immunofluorescence and immunoblotting. Binding of parasites to CHO cells was inhibited by polyclonal antibodies to laminin and by a monoclonal antibody directed against the globular carboxyl-terminal portion of the long arm of laminin (at or near the suggested ligand-binding sites for alpha 3 beta 1 and alpha 6 beta 1), but not by a monoclonal antibody directed against the lateral short arms of laminin near the cross region of the molecule. Antibodies to the alpha 6 but not the alpha 2, alpha 3, or alpha 5 chains of the beta 1 family of integrins blocked parasite attachment to human foreskin fibroblasts and CHO cells. Attachment of T. gondii to cells via laminin on the parasite surface and laminin receptors on the mammalian cell is consistent with the capacity of the parasite to invade almost all nucleated cells. 相似文献

Cells interact with the extracellular matrix through receptors, most commonly of the integrin family. We (Cachaco et al. [2003] Development 130:1659-1671) and others (Schwander et al. [2003] Dev. Cell 4:673-685) have demonstrated a role for beta1 integrins in mouse primary myogenesis. However, it is unclear what alpha subunits pair with beta1 during this process in vivo. Here, we determined alpha subunit expression patterns at embryonic day (E) 11.5-E14.5. Differentiated myotomal myocytes express all alpha subunits studied. As the muscle masses form both in trunk (E12.5) and limbs (E11.5-E12.5), laminin receptors alpha6beta1 and alpha7beta1 are undetectable, and an assembled laminin matrix is absent. Instead alpha1beta1, alpha4beta1, alpha5beta1, and an alpha v-containing integrin are expressed and unassembled laminin and fibronectin are abundant around myogenic cells. At E13.5-E14.5, alpha6beta1 and alpha7beta1 are expressed, and a laminin matrix forms around individual myotubes. Thus, myogenic cells change their integrin expression pattern during the course of primary myogenesis in the mouse, suggesting different roles for fibronectin- and laminin-containing matrices in this process. 相似文献

The integrins are alpha beta heterodimeric transmembrane proteins mediating cell-substratum as well as cell-cell interactions. To identify the pattern of expression of the beta 1, beta 3, and beta 4 integrins and their accessory adhesion molecules in relation to the malignant phenotype of invasive breast cancer, we performed an immunohistochemical study for the alpha 2 beta 1 (VLA-2), alpha 6 beta 1 (VLA-6), alpha v and alpha v beta 3 (vitronectin receptor), alpha 6 beta 4, carcinoembryonic antigen, and carcinoembryonic antigen-related molecules in a series of 37 invasive breast carcinomas. All integrin chains examined showed similar patterns in nonneoplastic breast tissue, with strong membrane staining of the myoepithelial cells and weak to moderate staining on the basolateral surfaces of the luminal cells. We found that downregulation of the alpha 2 chain of VLA-2 occurs more frequently in poorly differentiated grade III invasive ductal carcinomas (IDCs) (P = .048). Loss of alpha 6 beta 4 seems also to occur more frequently in grade III IDC (seven of 11 cases, 63.6%) than in grade I/II IDC (two of eight cases, 25%), although this did not reach statistical significance. Carcinoembryonic antigen and carcinoembryonic antigen-related antigens, which are known to function as accessory adhesion molecules, were found mainly in the cytoplasm of neoplastic cells and there was reduced membrane polarization in poorly organized tumors. In contrast the alpha v beta 3, vitronectin receptor heterodimer recognized by the 23C6 monoclonal antibody was weak or absent in normal breast epithelium, and was weakly expressed in two of 19 (10%) IDCs and in nine of 18 (50%) invasive lobular carcinomas (P = .008). However, the alpha v chain detected with the antibody 13C2 was weakly to moderately expressed on nonneoplastic epithelium and at a similar intensity in 13 of 19 IDCs and 15 of 17 invasive lobular carcinomas, suggesting that in IDC the alpha v chain may be associated with a different beta chain (possibly beta 1 or beta 5). No correlation between integrin expression and estrogen/progesterone receptor status was found. These data provide further evidence that in invasive breast carcinomas there is a widespread deregulated expression of integrins and their accessory adhesion molecules with loss of polarization. Changes in the expression and function of cell adhesion molecules, which control growth and differentiation, may have clinical relevance in the behavior of breast cancer. 相似文献

Expression and function of beta(1) and beta(3) integrins of human mesothelial cells in vitro. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Mesothelial cells (MC) and extracellular matrix (ECM) components are thought to play a pivotal regulatory role during the inflammatory-reparative response of serosal membranes. Integrins are known to serve as cellular ECM receptors, but mesothelial integrin expression and its function, particularly its role for attachment to different ECM components, remain to be elucidated. The aim of the present study was to characterize the integrin expression of human omentum majus derived MC (HOMC) in vitro by immunohistochemistry and to investigate their functional significance with regard to HOMC adhesion to fibronectin (fn), vitronectin (vn), collagen IV (coll IV), and laminin (ln). Mesothelial cells in vitro strongly expressed beta(1), beta(3), alpha(2), alpha(3), alpha(5), and alpha(v) chains. A weak reactivity was found for alpha(1) and alpha(6), but no alpha(4) reactivity was detectable. Compared to the control, fn, vn, coll IV, and ln caused a significant 2.6-, 2.2-, 2-, and 1.6-fold increase of HOMC adhesion, respectively. Inhibition studies revealed that HOMC attachment to fn is mediated by alpha(5)beta(1), alpha(v)beta(1), and alpha(v)beta(3), with a synergistic effect of alpha(5)beta(1) and alpha(v)beta(3). Adhesion to vn is mediated by alpha(v)beta(1) and alpha(v)beta(3). Integrins alpha(1)beta(1), alpha(2)beta(1), and alpha(3)beta(1) mediate adhesion to coll IV and ln. We suggest that the integrin expression and function of mesothelial cells described here play an important role in the interaction of MC with the ECM, particularly during the acute and chronic inflammatory-reparative response of serosal membranes. 相似文献

Fibronectin-bound TNF-alpha stimulates monocyte matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression and regulates chemotaxis 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) is a proinflammatory cytokine implicated in the stimulation of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) production by several cell types. Our previous studies demonstrated that TNF-alpha avidly binds fibronectin (FN) and laminin, major adhesive glycoproteins of extracellular matrix (ECM) and basement membranes. These findings suggested that TNF-alpha complexing to insoluble ECM components may serve to concentrate its activities to distinct inflamed sites. Herein, we explored the bioactivity and possible function of ECM-bound TNF-alpha by examining its effects on MMP-9 secretion by monocytes. Immunofluorescent staining indicated that LPS-activated monocytes deposited newly synthesized TNF-alpha into ECM-FN. FN-bound TNF-alpha (FN/TNF-alpha) significantly up-regulated MMP-9 expression and secretion by the human monocytic cell line MonoMac-6 and peripheral blood monocytes. Such secretion could be inhibited by antibodies that block TNF-alpha activity and binding to its receptors TNF RI (p55) and TNF RII (p75). Cheniotaxis through ECM gels in the presence of soluble or bound TNF-alpha was inhibited by a hydroxamic acid inhibitor of MMPs (GM6001). It is interesting that, although the adhesion of MonoMac-6 cells to FN/TNF-alpha required functional activated beta1 integrins, FN/TNF-alpha-induced MMP-9 secretion was independent of binding to beta1 integrins, since MMP-9 secretion was unaffected by: (1) neutralizing nAb to alpha4, alpha5, and beta1 subunits, which blocked cell adhesion; (2) a mAb that stimulated beta1 integrin-mediated adhesion; and (3) binding TNF-alpha to the 30-kDa amino-terminal fragment of FN, which lacks the major cell adhesive binding sites. Thus, in addition to their cell-adhesive roles, ECM glycoproteins, such as FN, may play a pivotal role in presenting proinflammatory cytokines to leukocytes within the actual inflamed tissue, thereby affecting their capacities to secrete ECM-degrading enzymes. These TNF-alpha-ECM interactions may serve to limit the cytokine's availability and bioactivity to target areas of inflammation. 相似文献
