Abstract

Plasminogen activators (tPA and uPA) are serine proteases that convert the circulating zymogen plasminogen to active plasmin and mediate fibrin degradation. These multifunctional proteins trigger various biological events such as extracellular matrix degradation, cell adhesion, migration, and proliferation, through not yet fully characterized mechanisms. We report that, in smooth muscle cells and ECV-304 carcinoma cells, tPA and ATF (the N-terminal catalytically inactive fragment of tPA) elicited DNA synthesis that requires activation of the sphingomyelin/ceramide/sphingosine-1-phosphate (Spm/Cer/S1P), signaling pathway and was blocked by D-erythro-2-(N-myristoylamino)-1-phenyl-propanol (D-MAPP) and N-N'-dimethyl sphingosine (DMS), two classical inhibitors of sphingosine-1-phosphate biosynthesis. Binding of tPA to its receptor uPAR triggered the coordinated activation of two key enzymes of the Spm/Cer/S1P pathway, the neutral sphingomyelinase and the sphingosine kinase-1 that was mediated by a common pertussis toxin (PTX)-sensitive mechanism. The tPA-induced sphingosine kinase-1 activation was mediated by Src, since it was inhibited by herbimycin A and in SrcK- cells (overexpressing a dominant negative kinase defective form of ...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.
