Cell adhesion to extracellular matrix regulates the life cycle of integrins

Abstract

The expression of alpha 5 beta 1 integrin on the surface of fibroblasts requires adhesion to substratum. We have examined the basis for this adhesion-dependent surface expression by comparing the life cycle of integrins in parallel cultures of adherent and nonadherent cells. Results of biosynthetic labeling experiments in NRK fibroblasts showed that the synthesis and biosynthetic processing of the beta 1 integrin subunit proceed in the absence of cell attachment; however, when examining the behavior of preexisting cell surface integrins, we observed that the alpha beta 1 integrins are internalized and degraded when adhesion to substratum is blocked. A kinetic analysis of integrin internalization in cycloheximide-treated NRK cells showed that each of the fibroblast integrins we examined (in both the beta 1 and beta 3 families) are lost from the cell surface after detachment from substratum. Thus, the default integrin life cycle in fibroblasts involves continuous synthesis, processing, transport to the cell surface, and internalization/degradation. Interestingly, studies with NIH-3T3 cells expressing alpha 1 beta 1 integrin showed that the loss of cell-surface alpha 5 beta 1 integrin is blocked by adhesion of cells to dishes coat...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.
