Arg Kinase Regulates Epithelial Cell Polarity by Targeting β1-Integrin and Small GTPase Pathways
BACKGROUND Establishment and maintenance of epithelial cell polarity is regulated in part by signaling from adhesion receptors. Loss of cell polarity is associated with multiple pathologies including the initiation and progression of various cancers. The β1-integrin adhesion receptor plays a role in the regulation of cell polarity; however, the identity of the signaling pathways that modulate β...
متن کاملIntegrin expression and localization in normal MDCK cells and transformed MDCK cells lacking apical polarity.
Epithelial cells polarize in response to contacts with the extracellular matrix and with neighboring cells. Interactions of cells with the extracellular matrix are mediated mainly by the integrin family of receptors. To begin to understand the role of integrins in polarization, we have investigated the expression and localization of three integrin families in the polarized Madin-Darby canine ki...
متن کاملLaminin is required to orient epithelial polarity in the C. elegans pharynx.
The development of many animal organs involves a mesenchymal to epithelial transition, in which cells develop and coordinate polarity through largely unknown mechanisms. The C. elegans pharynx, which is an epithelial tube in which cells polarize around a central lumen, provides a simple system with which to understand the coordination of epithelial polarity. We show that cell fate regulators ca...
متن کاملkeratinocyte polarity through integrin - mediated modulation of Rac 1 and cofilin activities
integrin, a component of hemidesmosomes, also plays a role in keratinocyte migration via signaling through Rac1 to the actin-severing protein cofilin. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the 4 integrin-associated plakin protein, bullous pemphigoid antigen 1e (BPAG1e) functions as a scaffold for Rac1/ cofilin signal transduction. We generated keratinocyte lines exhibiting a stable knockdow...
متن کاملEstablishing epithelial glandular polarity: interlinked roles for ARF6, Rac1, and the matrix microenvironment
Epithelial cysts comprise the structural units of the glandular epithelium. Although glandular inversion in epithelial tumors is thought to be a potential mechanism for the establishment of metastatic disease, little is known about the morphogenic cues and signaling pathways that govern glandular polarity and organization. Using organotypic cultures of Madin-Darby canine kidney cells in reconst...
