Abstract

Using Chinese hamster ovary cell lysate, an in vitro assay has been developed to study the interaction of fibronectin with the alpha 5 beta 1 integrin in a cytosolic environment. In our solid phase assay, 96-well microtiter plates were coated with fibronectin in which cell lysate was incubated. A dose-dependent binding of the fibronectin receptor onto the coated plastic was immunodetected by specific polyclonal antibodies raised against the alpha 5 beta 1 integrin. Both soluble fibronectin and PB1, a monoclonal antibody raised against the fibronectin receptor, competed with the alpha 5 beta 1 integrin for binding to the fibronectin-coated plastic. General phosphatase inhibitors used during cell lysis completely abolished the fibronectin/integrin interaction in the assay, indicating that the affinity of the fibronectin receptor might be modulated by a protein phosphatase activity. Furthermore, in this assay, the interaction between the fibronectin receptor and its substrate in a cytosolic environment required intracellular calcium. Additionally, the action of more specific phosphatase inhibitors and the inhibition of the integrin/fibronectin interaction by a monoclonal antibody raised against the calcium/calmodulin-dependent pro...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.
