IGDQ motogenic peptide gradient induces directional cell migration through integrin (αv)β3 activation in MDA-MB-231 metastatic breast cancer cells. Neoplasia 2022; 31:100816.

Abstract
In the context of breast cancer metastasis study, we have shown in an in vitro model of cell migration that IGDQ-exposing (IsoLeu-Gly-Asp-Glutamine type I Fibronectin motif) monolayers (SAMs) on gold sustain the adhesion of breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells by triggering Focal Adhesion Kinase and integrin activation. Such tunable scaffolds are used to mimic the tumor extracellular environment, inducing and controlling cell migration. The observed migratory behavior induced by the IGDQ-bearing peptide gradient along the surface allows to separate cell subpopulations with a "stationary" or "migratory" phenotype. In this work, we knocked down the integrins α5(β1) and (αv)β since they are already known to be implicated in cell migration. To this aim, a whole proteomic analysis was performed in beta 3 integrin (ITGB3) or alpha 5 integrin (ITGA5) knock-down MDA-MB-231 cells, in order to highlight the pathways implied in the integrin-dependent cell migration. Our results showed that i) ITGB3 depletion influenced ITGA5 mRNA expression, ii) ITGB3 and ITGA5 were both necessary for IGDQ-mediated directional single cell migration and iii) integrin (αv)β3 was activated by IGDQ fibronectin type I motif. Finally, the proteomic analysis suggested that co-regulation of recycling transport of ITGB3 by ITGA5 is potentially necessary for directional IGDQ-mediated cell migration.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D)-layered blood vessel constructs consisting of human umbilical artery smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (ECs) were fabricated by hierarchical cell manipulation, and their basic morphology, histology and blood compatibility were evaluated in relation to the EC layers. For the hierarchical cell manipulation, fibronectin-gelatin (FN-G) nanofilms were prepared on the surface of SMC layers to provide a cell adhesive nano-scaffold for the second layer of cells. The layer number of blood vessel constructs was easily controllable from 2 to 7 layers, and the histological evaluation, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) observations indicated a hierarchical blood vessel analogous morphology. The immunefluorescence staining revealed homogeneous and dense tight-junction of the uppermost EC layer. Furthermore, the nano-meshwork morphology of the FN-G films like a native extracellular matrix was observed inside the blood vessel constructs by SEM. Moreover, a close association between actin microfilaments and the nano-meshworks was observed on the SMC surface by TEM. The blood compatibility of the blood vessel constructs, 4-layered SMC/1-layered EC (4L-SMC/1L-EC), was clearly confirmed by inhibition of platelet adhesion, whereas the blood vessel constructs without EC layers (4L-SMC) showed high adhesion and activation of the platelet. The 3D-blood vessel constructs prepared by hierarchical cell manipulation technique will be valuable as a blood vessel model in the tissue engineering or pharmaceutical fields.

Abstract
Fibronectin-binding proteins (FnBPs) of Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes mediate invasion of human endothelial and epithelial cells in a process likely to aid the persistence and/or dissemination of infection. In addition to binding sites for the N-terminal domain (NTD) of fibronectin (Fn), a number of streptococcal FnBPs also contain an upstream region (UR) that is closely associated with an NTD-binding region; UR binds to the adjacent gelatin-binding domain (GBD) of Fn. Previously, UR was shown to be required for efficient streptococcal invasion of epithelial cells. Here we show, using a Streptococcus zooepidemicus FnBP, that the UR-binding site in GBD resides largely in the (8)F1(9)F1 module pair. We also show that UR inhibits binding of a peptide from the α1 chain of type I collagen to (8)F1(9)F1 and that UR binding to (8)F1 is likely to occur through anti-parallel β-zipper formation. Thus, we propose that streptococcal proteins that contain adjacent NTD- and GBD-binding sites form a highly unusual extended tandem β-zipper that spans the two domains and mediates high affinity binding to Fn through a large intermolecular interface. The proximity of the UR- and NTD-binding sequences in streptococcal FnBPs is consistent with a non-linear arrangement of modules in the tertiary structure of the GBD of Fn.

Abstract
We report a method for the expression in Escherichia coli of the isolated second type II fibronectin domain from MMP-2 (FNII-2). FNII-2 was expressed as a His(6)thioredoxin-tagged fusion protein in the thioredoxin reductase deficient E. coli strain BL21trxB(DE3), thus allowing disulfide-bond formation. When cultured at 37 degrees C, the expressed protein is located exclusively in the soluble fraction of the E. coli lysate. The fusion protein from the soluble fraction was purified and the His(6)thioredoxin-tag was cleaved by thrombin, resulting in a yield of approximately 40 mg/L. The recombinant FNII-2 was demonstrated to be functional by its ability to bind to gelatin-Sepharose, correct folding of the purified protein was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy. This approach may generally be applicable to all FNII domains and is a significant simplification relative to existing techniques involving refolding from inclusion bodies or expression in the eukaryotic host, Pichia pastoris.

Abstract
Fibronectin is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein that plays a role in a number of physiological processes involving cell adhesion and migration. The modules of the fibronectin monomer are organized into proteolytically resistant domains that in isolation retain their affinity for various ligands. The tertiary structure of the glycosylated second type 2 module (2F2) from the gelatin-binding domain of fibronectin was determined by two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and simulated annealing. The structure is well defined with an overall fold typical of F2 modules, showing two double-stranded antiparallel beta-sheets and a partially solvent-exposed hydrophobic cluster. An N-terminal beta-sheet, that was not present in previously determined F2 module structures, may be important for defining the relative orientation of adjacent F2 modules in fibronectin. This is the first three-dimensional structure of a glycosylated module of fibronectin, and provides insight into the possible role of the glycosylation in protein stability, protease resistance and modulation of collagen binding. Based on the structures of the isolated modules, models for the 1F22F2 pair were generated by randomly changing the orientation of the linker peptide between the modules. The models suggest that the two putative collagen binding sites in the pair form discrete binding sites, rather than combining to form a single binding site.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fibronectin is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein involved in cell adhesion and migration events in a range of important physiological processes. Aberrant adhesion of cells to the matrix may contribute to the breakdown of normal tissue function associated with various diseases. The adhesive properties of fibronectin may be mediated by its interaction with collagen, the most abundant extracellular matrix protein. The collagen-binding activity of fibronectin has been localized to a 42 kDa proteolytic fragment on the basis of this fragment's affinity for denatured collagen (gelatin). This gelatin-binding domain contains the only type 2 (F2) modules found in the protein. The F2 modules of the matrix metalloproteinases MMP2 and MMP9 are responsible for the affinity of these proteins for gelatin. Knowledge of the structure of fibronectin will provide insights into its interactions with other proteins, and will contribute to our understanding of the structure and function of the extracellular matrix, in both normal and disease-altered tissues. RESULTS We have determined the solution structure of the first F2 (1F2) module from human fibronectin by two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. The tertiary structure of the 1F2 module is similar to that of a shorter F2 module, PDC-109b, from the bovine seminal plasma protein PDC-109. The 1F2 module has two double-stranded antiparallel beta sheets oriented approximately perpendicular to each other, and enclosing a cluster of highly conserved aromatic residues, five of which form a solvent-exposed hydrophobic surface. The N-terminal extension in 1F2 brings the N and C termini of the module into close proximity. CONCLUSIONS The close proximity of the N and C termini in 1F2 allows for interactions between non-contiguous modules in the gelatin-binding domain. Thus, instead of forming an extended, linear chain of modules, the domain may have a more compact, globular structure. A pocket in the module's solvent-exposed hydrophobic surface may bind nonpolar residues in the putative fibronectin-binding site of the extracellular matrix component type I collagen.

Abstract
The interaction between human plasma fibronectin and different types and forms of collagen were analysed by affinity electrophoresis at different pH values. The fibronectin bound tightly to collagen type I, III and IV, but not to type V. The fibronectin interacted better with the denatured form of collagen type I (gelatin) than with the native form. At pH less than 5.5 the fibronectin exhibited much lower affinity to gelatin than at pH greater than 8.0. The interaction between the fibronectin and gelatin was further analysed by affinity electrophoresis in which apparent dissociation constants (Kd) of the fibronectin for gelatin were calculated, and effects of urea, 2-mercaptoethanol and temperature on the interaction were examined. The fibronectin markedly diminished its affinity to gelatin at 3 M urea to give Kd = 2.5 x 10(-6) M, which was 1000 times larger than the value without urea. The fibronectin dissociated into its monomers and the monomers diminished their affinity to gelatin in a stepwise fashion with increase in concentration of 2-mercaptoethanol. The fibronectin diminished the affinity to gelatin by elevating temperature, and van't Hoff plots of log Kd values against the reciprocal of absolute temperature (T) showed that log Kd was inversely proportional to 1/T in the range 15-50 degrees C, and the thermodynamic parameters of the standard enthalpy change, the standard free energy change and the entropy change at 37 degrees C for association of fibronectin and gelatin were all negative. At 60 degrees C the affinity of fibronectin to gelatin was not detectable.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
We have determined, via 1H-n.m.r., the solution conformation of the collagen-binding b-domain of the bovine seminal fluid protein PDC-109 (PDC-109/b). The structure determination is based on 341 interproton distance estimates and 42 dihedral angle estimates: a set of 24 initial structures were computed; 12 using the variable target function program DIANA, and 12 using the metric matrix program DISGEO. These structures were optimized by restrained energy minimization and dynamic simulated annealing using the CHARMM and X-PLOR programs. The average pairwise root-mean-square difference (r.m.s.d) between the optimized DIANA (DISGEO) structures is 0.71 A (0.82 A) for the backbone atoms, and 1.73 A (2.03 A) for all atoms. Both sets of structures exhibit the same global fold, secondary structure and placement of most non-polar side-chains. Two central antiparallel beta-sheets, which lie roughly perpendicular to each other, and two irregular loops support a large, partially exposed, hydrophobic surface that defines a putative binding site. A test of a hybrid relaxation matrix-based distance refinement protocol (MIDGE program) was performed using a normalized 250 millisecond NOESY spectrum. The resulting distances were input to the molecular mechanics/dynamics procedures mentioned above in order to optimize the DIANA structures. Our results indicate that relaxation matrix refinement of distances is most useful when used conservatively for identifying underestimated distance constraints. 1H-n.m.r. monitored ligand titration experiments revealed definite, albeit weak, binding interactions for phenethylamine and leucine analogs (Ka less than or equal to 25 M-1). Residues perturbed by ligand binding include Tyr7, Trp26, Tyr33, Asp34 and Trp39. These results suggest that PDC-109/b may recognize specific leucine and/or isoleucine-containing sequences within collagen.

Abstract
The interaction between human plasma fibronectin and gelatin was analyzed by affinity electrophoresis, in which the fibronectin was subjected to electrophoresis in a 4% polyacrylamide gel in the presence and absence of gelatin, as an affinity ligand, and the fibronectin band was stained by an immunoblotting method. The apparent dissociation constants (Kd) of fibronectin for gelatin were calculated from affinity plots based on the original affinity equation at different pHs, urea concentrations, and temperatures. The fibronectin exhibited much lower affinity in the presence of urea. The Kds at 37 degrees C were 1.49 X 10(-7) M, 2.50 X 10(-6) M, and 3.58 X 10(-6) M with 2 M, 3 M, and 4 M urea, respectively. The van't Hoff plots of Kd values against absolute temperature (T) showed that the value of log Kd decreased in proportion to the increase in the value of 1/T within the range of 15-50 degrees C. The standard enthalpy, the standard free energy change at 37 degrees C, and the entropy change at 37 degrees C for association were calculated to be -124.7 kJ/mol, -33.23 kJ/mol, and -295.1 J/mol/deg, respectively. These results suggest that a hydrophilic interaction, such as hydrogen bond or van der Waals interaction, plays an important role in the binding of plasma fibronectin to gelatin.

Abstract
The gelatin-binding region of fibronectin is isolated easily as a stable and functional 42 kDa fragment containing four type I "finger" modules and two type II "kringle-like" modules arranged in the order I6-II1-II2-I7-I8-I9. This fragment exhibits a single reversible melting transition near 64 degrees C in TBS buffer (0.02 M-Tris buffer containing 0.15 M-NaCl, pH 7.4). The transition is characterized by a calorimetric to van't Hoff enthalpy ratio of 1.6, suggesting a complex domain structure. A 30 kDa fragment with the same NH2 terminus (I6-II1-II2-I7) melts reversibly near 65 degrees C with delta Hcal/delta HvH = 1.3, also consistent with the presence of more than one domain. To elucidate further the domain structure, three non-overlapping subfragments were prepared and characterized with respect to their unfolding induced by heat and guanidinium chloride. The three subfragments, each containing two modules, are designated from amino or carboxyl-terminal location as 13 kDa (I6-II1) 16 kDa (II2-I7) and 21 kDa (I8-I9) according to their apparent Mr in SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. All three subfragments exhibited reversible transitions in TBS buffer, behaving in the calorimeter as single co-operative units with delta Hcal/delta HvH close to unity. However, the specific enthalpies and changes in heat capacity associated with the melting of all fragments and subfragments in TBS buffer were low compared to those of most compact globular proteins, suggesting that not all modules are represented. When titrated with guanidinium chloride at 25 degrees C, all fragments exhibited monophasic reversible unfolding transitions detected by changes in fluorescence. Heating in the presence of 6 M-guanidinium chloride revealed three additional transitions not seen in the absence of denaturants. These transitions have been assigned to three of the four type I finger modules (I6, I7 and I9), one of which (I6) was isolated and shown to retain a compact structure as stable as that observed for this module within the parent fragments. Two other modules (II2 and I7) are destabilized when separated from their neighbors. Thus, despite their small size (50 to 60 amino acid residues), all six of the modules in the gelatin-binding region of fibronectin form independently folded domains, three of which (I6, I7 and I9) are unusually stable. Evidence is provided that four of the six modules interact with each other in the parent fragment. This interaction may explain previously noted disruptions in the otherwise uniform strand-like images seen in electron micrographs of fibronectin.

Abstract
Using gelatin, casein, and fibronectin as substrates and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), we have identified protein-degrading enzymes in both normal and Rous sarcoma virus-transformed primary avian tendon cells. Although there are some consistent differences in the profile of the gelatinolytic activities (mainly metalloproteinases) between normal and transformed cells, the amounts of fibronectin-degrading activities seem to be comparable. In vitro studies reported here demonstrate that the degradation of fibronectin is partially and specifically inhibited by gelatin and collagen. We therefore propose that the abundant collagen present in normal tendon cells protects fibronectin against degradation. Conversely, in transformed cells, where collagen levels are drastically reduced, fibronectin may be more accessible to degradation. Thus differences in the steady-state levels of fibronectin on normal and transformed cells may be, at least in part, a consequence of changes in collagen levels.
