Abstract

Activation of leukocyte integrins is important for selective recruitment of cells from the circulation to tissues. Our previous studies showed that the binding between the integrin very late antigen-4 (VLA-4) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) is modulated by reactive oxygen species. In this study, we investigated the molecular nature of redox modulation on the activation states of VLA-4 on human leukocytes. We found that ligand binding of VLA-4 induced exposure of sulfhydryl groups on the alpha4 peptide. Low concentrations (5-10 microM) of exogenous hydrogen peroxide in the presence or absence of added glutathione enhanced the ligand binding ability of VLA-4 to VCAM-1 and cell rolling on VCAM-1, while higher concentrations (> or = 100 microM) of hydrogen peroxide inhibited the binding. Exogenous hydrogen peroxide and glutathione induced molecular modification of S-glutathionylation on the alpha4 peptide. The redox regulation of the VLA-4 binding activity required outside-in signaling and cytoskeleton rearrangement. Our results indicate that ligand binding of VLA-4 involves redox modulations which may play a pivotal role in regulating the activation states of VLA-4 in inflammatory tissues and hence direct leukocyte ...Continue Reading

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.

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.
