Abstract

Extracellular matrix proteins activate neutrophils to up-regulate many physiologic functions that are necessary at sites of tissue injury. To elucidate the ligand-receptor interactions that mediate these functions, we examined neutrophil activation by the basement membrane protein, entactin. Entactin is structurally and functionally organized into distinct domains; therefore, we utilized glutathione S-transferase -fusion proteins encompassing its four major domains, G1, G2, E, and G3, to assess interactions between entactin and neutrophil integrin receptors. We show that the E domain, which contains the single RGD sequence of entactin, is sufficient for ligation of the beta3-like integrin, leukocyte response integrin, and signaling for chemotaxis. Moreover, the G2 domain signals for stimulation of Fc receptor-mediated phagocytosis via ligation of alpha3beta1. This receptor-ligand interaction was revealed only after stimulation of neutrophil by immune complexes or phorbol esters. Interestingly, the E domain does not enhance phagocytosis, and the G2 domain is not chemotactic. Furthermore, cleavage of entactin with the matrix metalloproteinase, matrilysin, liberates peptides that retain E domain-mediated chemotaxis and G2 domain-m...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.
