Restricted expression and function of laminin 1-binding integrins in normal and malignant oral mucosal keratinocytes

Cell Adhesion and Communication

Abstract

Squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity spreads by initial invasion of the laminin-rich basement membrane. We examined the adhesion and motility of human oral SCC cells and normal mucosal keratinocytes and found that the SCC cells readily attached and migrated on laminin 1 substrates but migrated poorly on collagen type I and fibronectin. The normal keratinocytes, however, adhered poorly to and were non-motile on laminin 1 yet readily and preferentially attached and migrated on fibronectin and collagen type I. Analysis with blocking anti-integrin antibodies showed that the SCC cells used the alpha 6 beta 1 complex to attach and migrate on laminin 1 and that this activity was confined to the E8 long arm fragment of laminin. Affinity chromatography on laminin-Sepharose columns revealed that the SCC cells, but not normal keratinocytes, expressed high levels of the alpha 6 beta 1 laminin 1 receptor. Metabolic pulse-chase analysis indicated that in contrast to the SCC cells, keratinocytes did not have a stable pool of beta 1 subunit precursor. Preferential pairing of alpha 6 with beta 4 and the deficiency in pre-beta 1 levels appear to account for the failure of keratinocytes to form significant alpha 6 beta 1 complex.

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.
