Abstract

Adhesion of normal colony-forming cells (CFC) to bone marrow (BM) stroma and the extracellular matrix (ECM) component fibronectin (FN) depends at least in part on the alpha4beta1 and alpha5beta1 integrins and the CD44 receptor. Aside from anchoring progenitors in the marrow microenvironment, beta1 integrin-dependent adhesion of normal CFC is associated with inhibition of their proliferation. In contrast to normal CFC, chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) Ph+ CFC adhere significantly less to either stroma or FN. CML Ph+ CFC proliferation is also not inhibited by coculture with stroma or FN. However, equal numbers of alpha4, alpha5, and beta1 integrins and CD44 are present on CML and normal CD34+ cells. We have previously demonstrated that beta1-dependent adhesion to and subsequent proliferation inhibition by FN can be restored when CML Ph+ CFC are incubated with the beta1 integrin activating antibody, 8A2, and demonstrated a role for the alpha5beta1 integrin in this phenomenon. Since the integrin alpha4beta1 and the proteoglycan form of CD44 may cooperate in establishing normal CFC adhesion to FN, we examined if treatment of CML Ph+ CFC with 8A2 also restores the cooperativity between beta1 integrins and CD44. We demonstrate that ...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
