A novel role for α3β1 integrins in extracellular matrix assembly
To study the biological role of α3β1 integrins in cell adhesion, migration, and in the deposition of extracellular matrix, we stably expressed the human α3 integrin subunit in the α4, α5 integrin deficient CHO cell line B2. The expression of α3β1 integrins enhanced cell adhesion on entactin (also known as nidogen), but not on fibronectin. Using recombinant GST-fusion proteins that span the enti...
متن کاملThe incorporation of fibrinogen into extracellular matrix is dependent on active assembly of a fibronectin matrix.
Fibrinogen is a soluble protein produced by hepatocytes and secreted into plasma, where it functions in hemostasis. During inflammation, the hepatic synthesis of fibrinogen is induced 2-10 fold. Recent studies demonstrate that after an inflammatory stimulus, fibrinogen gene expression and protein production is upregulated in lung epithelial cells, where it is secreted basolaterally and conseque...
متن کاملTensin links energy metabolism to extracellular matrix assembly
The regulation of integrin function is key to fundamental cellular processes, including cell migration and extracellular matrix (ECM) assembly. In this issue, Georgiadou et al. (2017. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201609066) report that the metabolic sensor adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase influences tensin production to regulate α5β1-integrin and fibrillar adhesion ...
متن کاملControl of extracellular matrix assembly by syndecan-2 proteoglycan.
Extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition and organization is maintained by transmembrane signaling and integrins play major roles. We now show that a second transmembrane component, syndecan-2 heparan sulfate proteoglycan, is pivotal in matrix assembly. Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells were stably transfected with full length (S2) or truncated syndecan-2 lacking the C-terminal 14 amino acids of t...
متن کاملAssembly of amino-terminal fibronectin dimers into the extracellular matrix.
Fibronectin is a dimeric adhesion molecule that consists of three types of repeating modules. Adherent cells bind soluble fibronectin and incorporate it into insoluble fibrils in the extracellular matrix. The amino-terminal 70-kDa portion of fibronectin mediates binding to the cell surface, but amino-terminal fragments do not accumulate in the extracellular matrix. The ninth type I and first ty...
