Abstract

Alpha4beta1 integrin is highly expressed in lymphocytes and is essential in hematopoiesis, extravasation, and the inflammatory response. Alpha4beta1 can be activated by intracellular signals elicited upon T-cell activation by phorbol esters, CD3 crosslinking, or certain chemokine/receptor interactions (inside-out activation). Divalent cations or certain anti-beta1 mAbs (i.e., TS2/16) can also bind and activate integrins directly (outside-in activation). In both cases, activation results in increased adhesion and/or affinity for ligands. It is not known if these various stimuli produce the same or different post-adhesion events. To address this, we have studied the cytoskeleton organization and intracellular signaling following activation of 41 in Jurkat cells and in human T-lymphoblasts. Treatment with Mn2+, alpha-CD3 mAb or the chemokine SDF-1alpha followed by attachment to the fibronectin fragment H89 or the endothelial molecule VCAM-1 (alpha4beta1 ligands), resulted in cell polarization and migration. In contrast, activation with PMA or TS2/16 induced cell spreading and strong adherence. Video microscopy and Transwell analyses confirmed these results, which correlated with different resistance to detachment under flow. Activ...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. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
