Beta3-integrins rather than beta1-integrins dominate integrin-matrix interactions involved in postinjury smooth muscle cell migration.
BACKGROUND Smooth muscle cell (SMC) migration is a vital component in the response of the arterial wall to revascularization injury. Cell surface integrin-extracellular matrix interactions are essential for cell migration. SMCs express both beta1- and beta3-integrins. In this study, we examined the relative functional roles of beta1- and beta3-integrin-matrix interactions in postinjury SMC migr...
متن کاملIntegrins in cell migration.
Integrin-based adhesion has served as a model for studying the central role of adhesion in migration. In this article, we outline modes of migration, both integrin-dependent and -independent in vitro and in vivo. We next discuss the roles of adhesion contacts as signaling centers and linkages between the ECM and actin that allows adhesions to serve as traction sites. This includes signaling com...
متن کاملBinding of extracellular maspin to beta1 integrins inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell migration.
Maspin is a serpin that has multiple effects on cell behavior, including inhibition of migration. How maspin mediates these diverse effects remains unclear, as it is devoid of protease inhibitory activity. We have previously shown that maspin rapidly inhibits the migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), suggesting the involvement of direct interactions with cell surface proteins. Here,...
متن کاملTargeting of alpha(v) integrins interferes with FAK activation and smooth muscle cell migration and invasion.
Aberrant migration of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) is a key feature of restenosis. Since extracellular matrix proteins and their receptors of the integrin family play a critical role in this process, it is instrumental to understand their contribution to cell migration and invasive motility of SMC on the molecular level. Therefore, we investigated the role of alpha(v)-containing integrins express...
متن کاملEndocytic Trafficking of Integrins in Cell Migration
Integrins are a family of heterodimeric receptors that bind to components of the extracellular matrix and influence cellular processes as varied as proliferation and migration. These effects are achieved by tight spatiotemporal control over intracellular signalling pathways, including those that mediate cytoskeletal reorganisation. The ability of integrins to bind to ligands is governed by inte...
