Abstract

Neutrophils are first responders in infection and inflammation. They are able to roll, adhere and transmigrate through the endothelium to reach the site of infection, where they fight pathogens through secretion of granule contents, production of reactive oxygen species, extrusion of neutrophil extracellular traps, and phagocytosis. In this study we explored the role of the non-receptor focal adhesion kinase Pyk2 in neutrophil adhesion and activation. Using a specific Pyk2 pharmacological inhibitor, PF-4594755, as well as Pyk2-deficient murine neutrophils, we found that Pyk2 is activated upon integrin αMβ2-mediated neutrophil adhesion to fibrinogen. This process is triggered by Src family kinases-mediated phosphorylation and supported by Pyk2 autophosphorylation on Y402. In neutrophil adherent to fibrinogen, Pyk2 activates PI3K-dependent pathways promoting the phosphorylation of Akt and of its downstream effector GSK3. Pyk2 also dynamically regulates MAP kinases in fibrinogen-adherent neutrophils, as it stimulates p38MAPK but negatively regulates ERK1/2. Pharmacological inhibition of Pyk2 significantly prevented adhesion of human neutrophils to fibrinogen, and neutrophils from Pyk2-knockout mice showed a reduced ability to adhe...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.
