Critical role of integrin alpha 5 beta 1 in urokinase (uPA)/urokinase receptor (uPAR, CD87) signaling

Abstract

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) induces cell adhesion and chemotactic movement. uPA signaling requires its binding to uPA receptor (uPAR/CD87), but how glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored uPAR mediates signaling is unclear. uPAR is a ligand for several integrins (e.g. alpha 5 beta 1) and supports cell-cell interaction by binding to integrins on apposing cells (in trans). We studied whether binding of uPAR to alpha 5 beta 1 in cis is involved in adhesion and migration of Chinese hamster ovary cells in response to immobilized uPA. This process was temperature-sensitive and required mitogen-activated protein kinase activation. Anti-uPAR antibody or depletion of uPAR blocked, whereas overexpression of uPAR enhanced, cell adhesion to uPA. Adhesion to uPA was also blocked by deletion of the growth factor domain (GFD) of uPA and by anti-GFD antibody, whereas neither the isolated uPA kringle nor serine protease domain supported adhesion directly. Interestingly, anti-alpha 5 antibody, RGD peptide, and function-blocking mutations in alpha 5 beta 1 blocked adhesion to uPA. uPA-induced cell migration also required GFD, uPAR, and alpha 5 beta 1, but alpha 5 beta 1 alone did not support uPA-induced adhesion and migration. Thus, ...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.
