Direct adhesion to bone marrow stroma via fibronectin receptors inhibits hematopoietic progenitor proliferation

Abstract

In long-term bone marrow cultures, stroma-adherent progenitors proliferate significantly less than nonadherent progenitors. Thus, close progenitor-stroma interactions may serve to regulate or restrict rather than promote hematopoietic progenitor proliferation. We hypothesized that signaling through adhesion receptors on hematopoietic cells may contribute to the inhibition of proliferation observed when progenitors are in contact with stroma. We demonstrate that progenitors cultured physically separated from stroma in a transwell proliferate significantly more than progenitors adherent to stroma. Furthermore, proliferation of colony forming cells (CFC) is reduced after specific adhesion to stroma, metabolically inactivated glutaraldehyde-fixed stroma, stromal-extracellular matrix, or the COOH-terminal heparin-binding domain of fibronectin. Nonspecific adhesion to poly-L-lysine fails to inhibit CFC proliferation. That the VLA-4 integrin is one of the receptors that transfers proliferation inhibitory signals was shown using blocking anti-alpha 4 monomeric F(ab) fragments. Furthermore, when synthetic peptides representing specific cell attachment sites within the heparin-binding domain of fibronectin were added to Dexter-type marro...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.
