Abstract
The transformation of certain cells reduces the requirement of extracellular Ca2+ for growth. The SV-40 transformed human lung fibroblasts, WI-38 VA13, require less Ca2+ than normal WI-38 cells. Spreading area of the normal cells decreases when cultured in 10 microM Ca2+ medium. Intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) of the normal and transformed cells cultured in 10 microM and 2 mM Ca2+ media was measured by the fluorescence microscope technique using fura-2 as a probe. The [Ca2+]i is measured in the resting state and during mobilization by serum or bradykinin stimulation. The lowering of extracellular calcium concentration results in a decrease in the resting state [Ca2+]i of both normal and transformed cells. Although the total decrease in [Ca2+]i is the same for both cells, the rate of decrease is much faster in normal cells than in transformed cells. Low extracellular Ca2+ reduces the number of cells responsive to the serum or bradykinin stimulation and decreases the peak [Ca2+]i value in both cells. In addition, we investigated, using BCECF as a fluorescent probe, the intracellular pH (pHi) of normal and transformed cells maintained at low and normal Ca2+. The low Ca2+ condition makes pHi acidic in normal cells but not in transformed cells. The acidification of the normal cell is accompanied by a decrease in the spreading area of the cells. The decrease of the cell attachment, followed by the reduced spreading area, induces the acidic pHi. These results suggest that the reduced Ca2+ requirement of transformed cells for growth is related to the mechanism of pHi regulation rather than Ca2+ homeostasis and, possibly, to the anchorage-independent growth, which is a unique feature of transformed cells.

Abstract
Cells in culture reveal high levels of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in their focal adhesions, the regions where cells adhere to the underlying substratum. We have examined the tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins in response to plating cells on extracellular matrix substrata. Rat embryo fibroblasts, mouse Balb/c 3T3, and NIH 3T3 cells plated on fibronectin-coated surfaces revealed elevated phosphotyrosine levels in a cluster of proteins between 115 and 130 kD. This increase in tyrosine phosphorylation was also seen when rat embryo fibroblasts were plated on laminin or vitronectin, but not on polylysine or on uncoated plastic. Integrin mediation of this effect was suggested by finding the same pattern of elevated tyrosine phosphorylation in cells plated on the cell-binding fragment of fibronectin and in cells plated on a synthetic polymer containing multiple RGD sequences. We have identified one of the proteins of the 115-130-kD cluster as pp125FAK, a tyrosine kinase recently localized in focal adhesions (Schaller, M. D., C. A. Borgman, B. S. Cobb, R. R. Vines, A. B. Reynolds, and J. T. Parsons. 1992. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 89:5192). A second protein that becomes tyrosine phosphorylated in response to extracellular matrix adhesion is identified as paxillin, a 70-kD protein previously localized to focal adhesions. Treatment of cells with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor herbimycin A diminished the adhesion-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of these proteins and inhibited the formation of focal adhesions and stress fibers. These results suggest a role for integrin-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation in the organization of the cytoskeleton as cells adhere to the extracellular matrix.

Abstract
Hemodynamic shear stress affects endothelial cell structure and function, but little is known about the signal transduction mechanisms involved in these processes. The effect of laminar shear stress on cytosolic pH (pHi) was examined in rat aortic endothelial cells cultured in glass capillary tubes. Shear stress forces led to a rapid decrease in pHi (maximal effect 0.09 pH unit at 13.4 dynes per square centimeter). Removal of specific ions or addition of exchange inhibitors suggests that in vascular endothelial cells shear stress forces activate both an alkali extruder, sodium ion-independent chloride-bicarbonate ion exchange, and an acid extruder, sodium-hydrogen ion exchange; the net effect in physiologic buffer with the bicarbonate ion is a decrease in pHi.

Abstract
Adhesion receptors allow cells to interact with a dynamic and information-rich environment of extracellular matrix molecules. The integrin family of adhesion receptors transduces signals from the extracellular matrix that regulate growth, gene expression and differentiation, as well as cell shape, motility and cytoskeletal architecture. Recent data support the hypothesis that integrins transduce signals cooperatively with other classes of adhesion receptors or with growth factor receptors. Furthermore, the ability of integrins to interact with the cytoskeleton appears to be fundamental to their mechanism for signal transduction.

Abstract
In murine erythroleukaemia cells, the response of ion channels was followed before and after contact with fibronectin-coated latex microspheres. Patch-clamp experiments in 'whole-cell' and in 'cell-attached' configurations showed that cell adhesion to fibronectin promoted plasma membrane hyperpolarization mediated by activation of potassium channels that were indistinguishable from calcium-dependent potassium channels K(Ca) in these cells. K+ current increase began in 5-6 min and was completed about 10 min after the first contact. The timecourse of this process recorded from 'whole-cell' was very similar to that followed in intact cells by observing the increase of single channel currents. The open probability of single channels in the patch increased after contact, revealing that this activation is propagated at distance from the adhesion site. The slow onset of the effect suggests the presence of a complex regulatory pathway between fibronectin-integrin binding and activation of potassium channels. Decreasing cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration to pCa 9 diminished, but did not inhibit, the response. The current induced by fibronectin was not blocked by apamin, alpha-charybdotoxin or glibenclamide, but was abolished by high concentrations of tetraethylammonium (TEA). These data suggest for the first time the existence of a specific regulative connection between integrin receptors and ionic channels.

Abstract
When F9 teratocarcinoma cells are treated with retinoic acid plus cyclic AMP (RACF9) they differentiate into parietal endoderm. Differentiation is accompanied by the acquisition of substrate adhesion sites and a change in the pattern of gene expression, including the synthesis of tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA). We demonstrate here that dihydrocytochalasin B (DHCB) treatment of differentiating F9 cells prevents the assembly of a structured actin cytoskeleton and generates a more rounded and stellate cell morphology. This morphological change is accompanied by the accumulation of the usually visceral endoderm-specific marker urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and an increase in tPA levels in comparison to untreated RACF9 controls. The increase in tPA accumulation is preceded by an increase in tPA mRNA levels. These effects are reversible, with a lag, when DHCB is removed, and PA accumulation can be stimulated within 24 h when differentiated cells are exposed to DHCB. Exposure to the microtubule disrupting agent colchicine has no effect on uPA or tPA accumulation. In addition, antibody directed against the beta 1 integrin subunit can also specifically elicit increased PA production. Thus disturbing the cytoskeleton and cytoskeleton associated substrate adhesions promotes PA accumulation.

Abstract
Adhesion of normal, anchorage-dependent cells to a solid substratum leads to activation of the Na+/H+ antiporter and elevation of intracellular pH. These effects are mediated by extracellular matrix proteins, such as fibronectin, and their receptors, the integrins. Experiments using pharmacological inhibition and down-regulation of protein kinase C (PKC) in C3H 10T1/2 cells show that platelet-derived growth factor induces activation of the Na+/H+ antiporter by means of a PKC-dependent pathway in adherent cells but cannot do so in poorly adherent cells. Poorly adherent cells are, however, able to elevate intracellular pH in response to a phorbol ester, indicating that PKC and subsequent steps in the pathway are functional. These results indicate that coupling of platelet-derived growth factor to PKC activation requires cell adhesion.

Abstract
We have examined the ability of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) and platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) to regulate the expression of various integrins in cultured rabbit vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC). We found that expression of the alpha v beta 3 integrin complex was induced by both growth factors, although TGF-beta 1 appeared to be the more potent inducer. mRNA level of the beta 3 integrin subunit was undetectable in quiescent cells and enhanced by both growth factors, while the alpha v integrin subunit mRNA level did not change with growth factor addition. Therefore, appearance of the alpha v beta 3 integrin protein complex after growth factor stimulation was due to increased expression of the beta 3 integrin subunit mRNA. The TGF-beta 1 induced increase in beta 3 integrin mRNA was delayed, but did not require prior protein synthesis, since cycloheximide was unable to block the increase in beta 3 mRNA level. By contrast, PDGF-BB induced a more rapid increase in beta 3 integrin mRNA level that peaked by 6 h after growth factor addition and no detectable beta 3 integrin mRNA remained after 24 h. Interestingly, the PDGF-BB induced elevation of beta 3 integrin, although more rapid, was completely inhibited by cycloheximide. Expression of the alpha 5 integrin subunit in response to growth factors was very similar to beta 3. However, in contrast to beta 3 and alpha 5, neither TGF-beta 1 nor PDGF-BB were able to alter the expression of the beta 1 integrin subunit in vascular SMC. However, in TGF-beta 1 treated cells, there was a large increase in expression of a 190 kDa polypeptide that was associated with the beta 1 integrin subunit. This 190 kDa polypeptide was not detected in PDGF treated SMC or in TGF-beta 1 treated fibroblasts. The alpha 1 integrin subunit has a MW of approximately 190 kDa and is capable of complexing with beta 1. Analysis of the alpha 1 integrin subunit mRNA level indicated that it was indeed induced by TGF-beta 1, but not by PDGF-BB, suggesting that the 190 kDa polypeptide may be the alpha 1 integrin subunit. These results indicate that TGF-beta 1 and PDGF-BB are potent but distinct activators of integrin expression in vascular SMC.

Abstract
HeLa cells attach to a variety of substrata but spread only on collagen or gelatin. Spreading is dependent on collagen-receptor upregulation, clustering, and binding to the cytoskeleton. This study examines whether second messengers are involved in initiating the spreading process on gelatin. The levels of cytosolic free calcium ([Ca++]i), cAMP, and cytoplasmic pH (pHi) do not change during cell attachment and spreading. However, a basal level of [Ca++]i and an alkaline pH(i) are required for spreading. There is an activation of protein kinase C (PKC) and a release of arachidonic acid (AA) on attachment and before cell spreading. Inhibition of PKC does not block cell spreading, indicating that PKC activation is not essential for spreading. Inhibition of phospholipase A2 blocks cell spreading, whereas addition of exogeneous AA overcomes this inhibitory effect. Among AA metabolic pathways, inhibitors of lipoxygenase (LOX) block cell spreading, suggesting that a LOX product(s) formed from AA initiates spreading. Clustering receptors for collagen with polyclonal antibodies, or with anti-collagen-receptor antigen-binding fragments (Fab) in combination with a secondary antibody, induce AA release. Also, AA is released when cells attach to either immobilized gelatin or immobilized Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptide. Thus, AA is released whenever receptor clustering is observed. Receptor occupancy is not sufficient to release AA; when cells are treated with gelatin or RGD peptide in solution or anti-collagen-receptor Fab fragments without secondary antibody, conditions where receptor clustering is not observed, AA is not released. Thus, a LOX metabolite(s) of AA formed by collagen-receptor clustering is a second messenger(s) that initiates HeLa cell spreading. LOX inhibitors also block the spreading of bovine aortic endothelial cells, chicken embryo fibroblasts, and CV-1 fibroblasts on gelatin or fibronectin, indicating that other cells might use the same second messenger system in initiating cell-substratum adhesion.

Abstract
PBMC express cell surface receptors for extracellular matrix components known as integrins. We have recently shown that ligand binding to one PBMC integrin, the collagen receptor alpha 2 beta 1, stimulates the secretion of interleukin 1 (IL-1). We have now investigated the role of fibronectin (Fn), an adherence protein that has binding sites for both PBMC and collagen, in the generation of the IL-1 response to collagen. In contrast to collagen, Fn did not stimulate IL-1 release but Fn-depleted serum decreased the release of IL-1 induced by collagen. A polyclonal antiserum directed against Fn also decreased the collagen-induced IL-1 secretion. The IL-1 response to collagen from cells incubated in Fn-depleted serum was restored by the addition of either purified Fn or the 120-kD cell-binding fragment of Fn, which contains the cell-binding site but not the collagen-binding domain. Smaller Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptides failed to enhance the PBMC response to collagen but inhibited in a concentration-dependent fashion the potentiating effect Fn. As expected, a MAb against the alpha 2 beta 1 collagen receptor decreased collagen-induced IL-1 release. However collagen-induced IL-1 release was also inhibited by a MAb against the alpha 5 beta 1 Fn receptor. The effect of the two MAbs was not additive, suggesting that the occupancy of both receptors by ligands is required in order for collagen to induce an maximal response from PBMC. The mechanism by which Fn exerts its effect remains unknown. However, flow-cytometric analysis revealed that Fn does not alter expression of the alpha2beta1 receptor on PBMC. These data demonstrate a potentiating effect of Fn on the collagen-induced secretion of IL-1 from human PBMC and suggest that this effect is mediated via the integrin alpha5beta1. These findings indicate a complex interactive role for specific integrin receptors in the regulation of the mononuclear cell immune response.

Abstract
Cytotactin is an extracellular matrix protein that is dynamically and transiently expressed in a place-dependent fashion during development by glial cells, fibroblasts, and several other cell types. In the present study, the effects of cytotactin on cell proliferation were examined in fibroblastic cells in culture. NIH 3T3 mouse cells plated on tissue culture substrata in the presence of soluble cytotactin remained rounded for longer periods than untreated control cells, similar to their response to cytotactin-coated substrates. These rounding effects could be prevented by pretreatment of the cells with nocodazole, a microtubule-disrupting agent. Cytotactin inhibited the proliferation of fibroblasts in culture in a dose- and time-dependent manner, and this inhibition occurred even after nocodazole treatment. In addition, the presence of cytotactin inhibited proliferation stimulated by growth factors or tumor promoter. These effects on cell growth were accompanied by an early inhibition of the intracellular alkalinization that normally occurs upon mitogenic stimulation by a number of growth-promoting agents. Together these observations suggest that cytotactin is an endogenous cell surface modulatory protein and provide a possible mechanism whereby cytotactin may contribute to pattern formation during development, regeneration, tumorigenesis, and wound healing.

Abstract
Synthetic peptides derived from the amino acid sequence of human basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) have been assayed for the capacity to exert bFGF agonist and antagonist activities in cultured endothelial cells. bFGF fragments A and C, which correspond to the sequences bFGF (38-61) and bFGF (82-101), induce a limited but statistically significant increase in cell number when administered to cultures of fetal bovine aortic endothelial GM 7373 cells and adult bovine aortic endothelial cells. The two peptides also exert a partial antagonist activity when GM 7373 cells are stimulated to proliferate by bFGF, but they do not affect cell proliferation induced by serum, epidermal growth factor (EGF), phorbol ester (TPA), or 1,2-diacylglycerol (diC8). Moreover, antibodies raised against peptides A and C specifically quench the mitogenic activity of bFGF. Peptides A and C contain the amino acid sequence Asp-Gly-Arg (DGR), which is the inverse of the cell adhesion signal sequence RGD recognized by integrins. DGR- and RGD-containing tetra- and heptapeptides inhibit the mitogenic activity exerted by bFGF and by the two active bFGF fragments. They do not affect cell proliferation induced by acidic FGF, EGF, serum, TPA, and diC8. However, neither peptides A and C, their corresponding antibodies, nor DGR-and RGD-containing peptides inhibit the binding of 125I-bFGF to its low and high affinity binding sites. The data suggest that amino acid residues 38-61 and 82-101, both containing a core DGR sequence, represent two "activation" domains of bFGF. Both domains are involved in the modulation of the mitogenic activity of bFGF without interacting directly with the bFGF receptor.

Capillary endothelial (CE) cells require two extracellular signals in order to switch from quiescence to growth and back to differentiation during angiogenesis: soluble angiogenic factors and insoluble extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules. Soluble endothelial mitogens, such as basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF), act over large distances to trigger capillary growth, whereas ECM molecules act locally to modulate cell responsiveness to these soluble cues. Recent studies reveal that ECM molecules regulate CE cell growth and differentiation by modulating cell shape and by activating intracellular chemical signaling pathways inside the cell. Recognition of the importance of ECM and cell shape during capillary morphogenesis has led to the identification of a series of new angiogenesis inhibitors. Elucidation of the molecular mechanism of capillary regulation may result in development of even more potent angiogenesis modulators in the future.

Abstract
The integrin family of cell adhesion receptors mediates many of the interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix. Because the extracellular matrix has profound influences on cell behavior, it seems likely that integrins transduce biochemical signals across the cell membrane. The nature of these putative signals has, thus far, remained elusive. Antibody-mediated clustering of integrin receptors was used to mimic the integrin clustering process that occurs during formation of adhesive contacts. Human epidermal carcinoma (KB) cells were incubated with an anti-beta 1 integrin monoclonal antibody for 30 min on ice followed by incubation at 37 degrees C with anti-rat IgG. This treatment, which induced integrin clustering, stimulated the phosphorylation on tyrosine residues of a 115- to 130-kDa complex of proteins termed pp130. When integrins were clustered in the presence of the phosphatase inhibitor sodium orthovanadate, pp130 showed a substantial increase in phosphorylation compared to the case in which integrins were clustered in the absence of vanadate. Maximal pp130 phosphorylation was observed 10-20 min after initiation of integrin clustering in the absence of vanadate or after 5-10 min in its presence. These time courses roughly parallel the formation of integrin clusters on the cell surface as observed by fluorescence microscopy. pp130 phosphorylation depended on the amount of anti-integrin antibody present. Additionally, the tyrosine phosphorylation of pp130 showed specificity since it was stimulated by antibodies to the integrin alpha 3 and beta 1 subunits but not by antibodies to other integrin alpha subunits or to nonintegrin cell surface proteins. Immunoprecipitation experiments clearly demonstrated that pp130 is not itself a beta 1 integrin. It is postulated, therefore, that the integrin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of pp130 may reflect part of an important signal transduction process between the extracellular matrix and the cell interior.

Abstract
A recent resurgence of interest in mechanical forces and cell shape as biological regulators has revealed extracellular matrix as the site at which forces are transmitted both to and from cells. at the same time, great advances have been made in terms of defining cell-surface integrin receptors as transmembrane molecules that mediate cell attachment and physically interlink extracellular matrix with the intracellular cytoskeleton. Convergence of these two lines of research has begun to elucidate the molecular mechanism by which cells sense physical forces and transduce mechanical signals into a biochemical response.

Abstract
Recent advances in several key areas of fibronectin biology are discussed. These include its expression, from transcription to secretion of dimers, the structural requirements for several of the binding activities, potential roles for alternatively spliced segments in cell adhesion, and the assembly of a fibronectin matrix.

Abstract
Growth of anchorage-dependent cells requires both soluble mitogens and insoluble extracellular matrix molecules such as fibronectin. Soluble growth factors activate chemical signaling pathways and stimulate proliferation by binding to transmembrane receptors. Insoluble fibronectin also binds to cell-surface receptors; however, it is thought to act primarily via effects on the cytoskeleton and cell shape. We recently demonstrated that cell spreading on surface-adsorbed fibronectin activates the Na/H antiporter and that inhibition of this chemical-signaling pathway suppresses growth. We now show that insoluble fibronectin activates the Na/H antiporter by clustering and immobilizing integrin alpha 5 beta 1, independent of effects on cell shape. These results show that an extracellular matrix receptor can behave similarly to a growth factor receptor to activate a signaling pathway implicated in growth control.

Abstract
The resting electrical potential (delta psi p) of murine erythroleukemia cells (MELC) was measured by the patch-clamp technique at different times after seeding onto culture surfaces enriched with bovine serum albumin (BSA) or Fibronectin (FN). While BSA did not produce significant changes of potential and cell shape, FN promoted a 15-20 mV hyperpolarization that preceded a marked cell spreading. This hyperpolarization was abolished by either treating cells with anti FN-receptor antibodies, or adding the RGDS tetrapeptide, suggesting that electric signals are elicited by the specific interaction of the FN cell binding domain with integrin receptors.

Abstract
Experiments in S49 mouse lymphoma cells indicate that adenylate cyclase activity is increased following swelling in hypotonic medium through a mechanism independent of the G-proteins which are involved in hormonal regulation of the enzyme. An intact actin cytoskeleton is apparently required for stimulation of adenylate cyclase by mechanical forces. It was hypothesized that this increase in cAMP may be involved in triggering subsequent volume regulatory events. Manipulation of intracellular cAMP content and protein kinase A activity in S49 cells prior to swelling or during the regulatory volume decrease following swelling provided no evidence of a significant role for cAMP in regulating the extent of initial volume increase or the subsequent regulatory volume decrease. Treatment of S49 cells with 10-200 microM miconazole, previously shown to inhibit adenylate cyclase activity, attenuated the initial volume increase with medium dilution and accelerated the rate of regulatory decrease in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner. However, incubation with 100 microM miconazole for 20 min, which completely inhibited swelling-induced increases in cAMP content, had no significant effect on either the initial volume expansion or the extent of regulatory volume decrease.

Abstract
An appropriate balance of extracellular matrix synthesis and degradation is required for normal morphogenesis and maintenance of tissue architecture. Extracellular matrix molecules and their receptors, as well as proteinases and their inhibitors, are all involved in matrix remodeling. In this report we show that signal transduction through extracellular matrix receptors regulates matrix remodeling.
