Integrins in T Cell Physiology
From the thymus to the peripheral lymph nodes, integrin-mediated interactions with neighbor cells and the extracellular matrix tune T cell behavior by organizing cytoskeletal remodeling and modulating receptor signaling. LFA-1 (αLβ2 integrin) and VLA-4 (α4β1 integrin) play a key role throughout the T cell lifecycle from thymocyte differentiation to lymphocyte extravasation and finally play a fu...
متن کاملIntegral Roles for Integrins in γδ T Cell Function
Integrins are adhesion receptors on the cell surface that enable cells to respond to their environment. Most integrins are heterodimers, comprising α and β type I transmembrane glycoprotein chains with large extracellular domains and short cytoplasmic tails. Integrins deliver signals through multiprotein complexes at the cell surface, which interact with cytoskeletal and signaling proteins to i...
متن کاملT-cell integrins: more than just sticking points.
T cells use integrins in essentially all of their functions. They use integrins to migrate in and out of lymph nodes and, following infection, to migrate into other tissues. At the beginning of an immune response, integrins also participate in the immunological synapse formed between T cells and antigen-presenting cells. Because the ligands for integrins are widely expressed, integrin activity ...
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 کاملIntegrins and cell proliferation
Proliferation of mammalian cells is tightly regulated by multiple environmental influences, primarily adhesion to the extracellular matrix (ECM), cell-cell adhesion and soluble factors (i.e. polypeptide growth factors or inhibitors, mitogenic lipids, inflammatory cytokines and hormones). Of these environmental cues, soluble growth factors and integrinmediated adhesion are most crucial, loss of ...
