Abstract

We have demonstrated recently that shifts in the concentrations of extracellular Mg++ and Ca++ occur during cutaneous injury in vivo. These shifts correlate well with the timing of migration of various cell types involved in wound healing, including keratinocytes. In the present study, we examined the potential of such cation shifts to activate the keratinocyte migratory phenotype. In modified Boyden chamber migration assays, alpha 2 beta 1 integrin-mediated migration of human keratinocytes (HaCaT) on type I collagen was supported by Mg++ but not by Ca++ alone. Migration could be increased up to twofold, however, by using both cations in combination, as long as the Mg++ concentration was in the optimal range for migration in Mg++ only (1-3 mM) and Ca++ was present at concentrations of approximately 0.1-1 mM. Further examination of this divalent-cation-induced migratory keratinocyte phenotype demonstrated that, as Mg++ is elevated and Ca++ is reduced, mature E-cadherin and cell-cell contacts are reduced and the alpha 2 beta 1 integrin is redistributed from cell-cell contacts to the periphery. These in vitro observations corroborate what occurs in vivo at the keratinocyte migrating front during wound healing. Together these data ...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.
