Abstract
Glucagon receptor (GCGR) agonism offers potentially greater effects on the mitigation of hepatic steatosis. However, its underlying mechanism is not fully understood. Here, it screened tetraspanin CD9 might medicate hepatic effects of GCGR agonist. CD9 is decreased in the fatty livers of patients and upregulated upon GCGR activation. Deficiency of CD9 in the liver exacerbated diet-induced hepatic steatosis via complement factor D (CFD) regulated fatty acid metabolism. Specifically, CD9 modulated hepatic fatty acid synthesis and oxidation genes through regulating CFD expression via the ubiquitination-proteasomal degradation of FLI1. In addition, CD9 influenced body weight by modulating lipogenesis and thermogenesis of adipose tissue through CFD. Moreover, CD9 reinforcement in the liver alleviated hepatic steatosis, and blockage of CD9 abolished the remission of hepatic steatosis induced by cotadutide treatment. Thus, CD9 medicates the hepatic beneficial effects of GCGR signaling, and may server as a promising therapeutic target for hepatic steatosis.

Abstract
Numerous clinical studies investigated how low expression of CD9 predicts poor prognosis of solid tumor. However, the results were inconclusive. This present meta-analysis was therefore performed to determine the prognostic value of CD9 expression in solid tumors. In this meta-analysis, 25 studies involving 5,555 participants were included; the result showed strong significant associations between declined expression of CD9 and all endpoints: overall survival (OS) (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.88, 95% CI = 1.45-2.43, p < 0.000) and time to progression (TTP) (HR = 2.0, 95% CI = 1.38-2.88, p < 0.000). The subgroup analysis was also performed, which revealed that the associations between CD9 downregulated expression related to poor OS in lung cancer and head and neck cancer. Also, low expression of CD9 was significantly connected with poor TTP in patients with head and neck cancer. The adverse prognostic impact of decreased expression of CD9 was observed in patients of different ethnicities. In conclusion, these results showed that declined expression of CD9 was associated with poor survival in human solid tumors. CD9 may be a valuable prognostic predictive biomarker and a potential therapeutic target in human solid tumors.

Abstract
Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteases 1, also known as TIMP-1, is named for its well-established function of inhibiting the proteolytic activity of matrix metalloproteases. Given this function, many studies were carried out to verify if TIMP-1 was able to interrupt processes such as tumor cell invasion and metastasis. In contrast, many studies have shown that TIMP-1 expression is increased in several types of tumors, and this increase was correlated with a poor prognosis and lower survival in cancer patients. Later, it was shown that TIMP-1 is also able to modulate cell behavior through the induction of signaling pathways involved in cell growth, proliferation, and survival. The mechanisms involved in the regulation of the pleiotropic functions of TIMP-1 are still poorly understood. Thus, this review aimed to present literature data that show its ability to form a membrane complex with CD63 and β1-integrin, and point to N-glycosylation as a potential regulatory mechanism of the functions exerted by TIMP-1. This article reviewed the characteristics and functions performed individually by TIMP1, CD63, and β1-integrin, the roles of the TIMP-1/CD63/β1-integrin complex, both in a physiological context and in cancer, and the regulatory mechanisms involved in its assembly.

Abstract
Integrin α6β4 is an essential, dynamic adhesion receptor for laminin 332 found on epithelial cells, required for formation of strong cell–extracellular matrix (ECM) adhesion and induced migration, and coordinated by regions of the β4C cytoplasmic domain. β4E, a unique splice variant of β4 expressed in normal tissue, contains a cytoplasmic domain of 231 amino acids with a unique sequence of 114 amino acids instead of β4C’s canonical 1089 amino acids. We determined the distribution of α6β4E within normal human glandular epithelium and its regulation and effect on cellular biophysical properties. Canonical α6β4C expressed in all basal cells, as expected, while α6β4E expressed within a subset of luminal cells. α6β4E expression was induced by three-dimensional culture conditions, activated Src, was reversible, and was stabilized by bortezomib, a proteasome inhibitor. α6β4C expressed in all cells during induced migration, whereas α6β4E was restricted to a subset of cells with increased kinetics of cell–cell and cell–ECM resistance properties. Interestingly, α6β4E presented in “ringlike” patterns measuring ∼1.75 × 0.72 microns and containing actin and CD9 at cell–ECM locations. In contrast, α6β4C expressed only within hemidesmosome-like structures containing BP180. Integrin α6β4E is an inducible adhesion isoform in normal epithelial cells that can alter biophysical properties of cell–cell and cell–ECM interactions.

Abstract
CD9 is a trans-membrane protein, and has recently been implicated in different physiological and cellular processes, such as cell migration and adhesion. According to previous study, down-regulation of CD9 contributes to keratinocyte migration, critical for wound re-epithelialization. Nevertheless, it is widely believed that tetraspanin CD9 does not have ligands or function as the cell surface receptor, rather it is thought to associate with other transmembrane molecules, thereby mediate keratinocyte migration. Little is known about how CD9 associates with transmembrane molecules in migratory keratinocytes. Here, using confocal microscopy, we observed that tetraspanin CD9 and ADAM17 co-localized on the surface of keratinocytes in the course of wound repair in vivo and in vitro. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments demonstrated a direct association between CD9 and ADAM17 in HaCaT cells and C57-MKs. Functional studies revealed that down-regulation or over-expression of CD9 exerted negative regulatory effects on ADAM17 sheddase activity. This activity is involved in CD9-regulated cell motility and migration. Further studies found that ADAM17 inhibitor-TAPI-2 or siADAM17 significantly abolished the enhanced effect of keratinocyte migration induced by CD9 down-regulation. Meanwhile, the sheddase activity of ADAM17 was inhibited by TAPI-2, which decreased this release of AREG and HB-EGF in CD9-silenced HaCat cells and C57-MKs. Importantly, neutralizing antibody against HB-EGF significant weakened keratinocyte migration and motility in CD9-silenced keratinocytes, and the inhibition of CD9-regulated keratinocyte migration by siADAM17 was rescued by addition of recombinant HB-EGF, activating EGFR/ERK pathway. Collectively, our results suggest that ADAM17 sheddase activity is activated by down-regulation of CD9, thereby mediating shedding of HB-EGF and activation of EGFR/ERK signaling, which crucially affects the keratinocyte migration and wound healing.

Abstract
Tetraspanins are transmembrane proteins that interact laterally with each other and with different partners such as integrins, immunoglobulin (Ig)-domain-containing proteins, growth factors and cytokine receptors. Such tetraspanin-partner complexes help to organize dynamic membrane networks called "tetraspanin web", which trigger different signalling pathways. Despite the fact that tetraspanins seem abundantly and widely expressed, their function remained unclear. However, it is well established that they control fundamental cellular processes including cell survival, adhesion, migration, invasion or viral infection, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are not well elucidated. This review focuses on tetraspanins that are expressed in epidermis and the roles they play in normal and pathological conditions, specifically in skin cancer.

Abstract
The expression of CD9 has been shown to be inversely associated with pancreatic cancer metastasis but the underlying mechanism remains incompletely understood. Using the two closely associated pancreatic cancer cell lines, PaTu-8898s and PaTu-8898t, which are metastatic and non-metastatic, respectively, we showed that the PaTu-8988s cells expressed a lower level of CD9 but had higher proliferation and migration rates than the PaTu-8898t cells. An inverse correlation between CD9 expression and the cell surface level of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) was observed in both cell lines. In the PaTu-8898s cells, overexpression of CD9 decreased the cell surface expression of EGFR, associated with increased expression of dynamin-2, whereas in the PaTu-8898t cells, knockdown of CD9 with RNA interference (RNAi) increased the cell surface expression of EGFR, associated with decreased expression of dynamin-2. However, the total EGFR level did not change by manipulation of CD9 expression, suggesting that CD9 plays a role in EGFR endocytosis. Furthermore, in the PaTu-8898ts cells, CD9 overexpression decreased the cell proliferation and migration, which were reversed by EGFR overexpression, whereas in the PaTu-8898t cells, CD9 knockdown enhanced the cell proliferation and migration which were blocked by EGFR RNAi both in vitro and in vivo. Thus, in pancreatic cancer cells, downregulation of CD9 may play a role in cancer growth and metastasis through, at least in part, enhancing cell surface expression of EGFR.

Abstract
There are 33 human tetraspanin proteins, emerging as key players in malignancy, the immune system, fertilization, cellular signaling, adhesion, morphology, motility, proliferation, and tumor invasion. CD9, a member of the tetraspanin family, associates with and influences a variety of cell-surface molecules. Through these interactions, CD9 modifies multiple cellular events, including adhesion, migration, proliferation, and survival. CD9 is therefore considered to play a role in several stages during cancer development. Reduced CD9 expression is generally related to venous vessel invasion and metastasis as well as poor prognosis. We found that treatment of mice bearing human gastric cancer cells with anti-CD9 antibody successfully inhibited tumor progression via antiproliferative, proapoptotic, and antiangiogenic effects, strongly indicating that CD9 is a possible therapeutic target in patients with gastric cancer. Here, we describe the possibility of CD9 manipulation as a novel therapeutic strategy in gastric cancer, which still shows poor prognosis.

Abstract
Our previous research found that tetraspanin CD9 is downregulated in migrating epidermis during wound healing, and CD9 downregulation contributes to keratinocyte migration via matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) activation. However, little is known about the mechanisms involved in CD9-regulated keratinocyte migration and MMP-9 activation. In this study, we revealed that the expressions of integrin subunits β5 and β6 were regulated by CD9. Furthermore, CD9 silencing triggered the switch from αvβ5 to αvβ6 integrin in HaCaT keratinocytes and CD9 overexpression reversed the switch. Importantly, integrin αvβ6 functional blocking antibody 10D5 significantly inhibited CD9 silencing-induced keratinocyte migration and MMP-9 activation, suggesting that the switch from αvβ5 to αvβ6 integrin plays a key role in CD9-regulated cell migration and MMP-9 activation in keratinocytes.

Abstract
To identify and sort out subpopulations of cells from more complex and heterogeneous assemblies of cells is important for many biomedical applications, and the development of cost- and labour-efficient techniques to accomplish this is warranted. In this report, we have developed a novel array-based platform to discriminate cellular populations based on differences in cell surface antigen expressions. These cell capture microarrays were produced through covalent immobilisation of CD antibodies to plasma ion immersion implantation-treated polycarbonate (PIII-PC), which offers the advantage of a transparent matrix, allowing direct light microscopy visualisation of captured cells. The functionality of the PIII-PC array was validated using several cell types, resulting in unique surface antigen expression profiles. PIII-PC results were compatible with flow cytometry, nitrocellulose cell capture arrays and immunofluorescent staining, indicating that the technique is robust. We report on the use of this PIII-PC cluster of differentiation (CD) antibody array to gain new insights into neural differentiation of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells and into the consequences of genetic targeting of the Notch signalling pathway, a key signalling mechanism for most cellular differentiation processes. Specifically, we identify CD98 as a novel marker for neural precursors and polarised expression of CD9 in the apical domain of ES cell-derived neural rosettes. We further identify expression of CD9 in hitherto uncharacterised non-neural cells and enrichment of CD49e- and CD117-positive cells in Notch signalling-deficient ES cell differentiations. In conclusion, this work demonstrates that covalent immobilisation of antibody arrays to the PIII-PC surface provides faithful cell surface antigen data in a cost- and labour-efficient manner. This may be used to facilitate high throughput identification and standardisation of more precise marker profiles during stem cell differentiation and in various genetic and disease contexts.

Abstract
Keratinocyte migration is an early event in the wound healing process. Although we previously found that CD9 downregulation is required for the keratinocyte migration during wound repair, the mechanism of how CD9 expression is regulated remains unclear. Here, we observed the effect of hypoxia (2% O2) on CD9 expression and keratinocyte migration. CD9 expression was downregulated and keratinocyte migration was increased under hypoxic conditions. In addition, CD9 overexpression reversed hypoxia-induced cell migration. We also found that hypoxia activated the p38/MAPK pathway. SB203580, a p38/MAPK inhibitor, increased CD9 expression and inhibited keratinocyte migration under hypoxia, while MKK6 (Glu) overexpression decreased CD9 expression and promoted hypoxic keratinocyte migration. Our results demonstrate that hypoxia regulates CD9 expression and CD9-mediated keratinocyte migration via the p38/MAPK pathway.

Abstract
Tetraspanin CD9 has been implicated in various cellular and physiological processes, including cell migration. In our previous study, we found that wound repair is delayed in CD9-null mice, suggesting that CD9 is critical for cutaneous wound healing. However, many cell types, including immune cells, endothelial cells, keratinocytes and fibroblasts undergo marked changes in gene expression and phenotype, leading to cell proliferation, migration and differentiation during wound repair, whether CD9 regulates kerationcytes migration directly remains unclear. In this study, we showed that the expression of CD9 was downregulated in migrating keratinocytes during wound repair in vivo and in vitro. Recombinant adenovirus vector for CD9 silencing or overexpressing was constructed and used to infect HaCaT cells. Using cell scratch wound assay and cell migration assay, we have also demonstrated that downregulation of CD9 promoted keratinocyte migration in vitro, whereas CD9 overexpression inhibited cell migration. Moreover, CD9 inversely regulated the activity and expression of MMP-9 in keratinocytes, which was involved in CD9-regulated keratinocyte migration. Importantly, CD9 silencing-activated JNK signaling was accompanied by the upregulation of MMP-9 activity and expression. Coincidentally, we found that SP600125, a JNK pathway inhibitor, decreased the activity and expression of MMP-9 of CD9-silenced HaCaT cells. Thus, our results suggest that CD9 is downregulated in migrating keratinocytes in vivo and in vitro, and a low level of CD9 promotes keratinocyte migration in vitro, in which the regulation of MMP-9 through the JNK pathway plays an important role.

Abstract
Phenotypic similarity is correlated with a number of measures of gene function, such as relatedness at the level of direct protein-protein interaction. The phenotypic effect of a deleted or mutated gene, which is one part of gene annotation, has caught broad attention. However, there have been few measures to study phenotypic similarity with the data from Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) database, therefore more analogous measures should be developed and investigated. We used five semantic similarity-based measures (Jiang and Conrath, Lin, Schlicker, Yu and Wu) to calculate the human phenotypic similarity between genes (PSG) with data from HPO database, and evaluated their accuracy with information of protein-protein interaction, protein complex, protein family, gene function or DNA sequence. Compared with the gene pairs that were random selected, the results of these methods were statistically significant (all P<0.001). Furthermore, we assessed the performance of these five measures by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, and found that most of them performed better than the previous methods. This work had proved that these measures based on semantic similarity for calculation of PSG were effective for hierarchical structure data. Our study contributes to the development and optimization of novel algorithms of PSG calculation and provides more alternative methods to researchers as well as tools and directions for PSG study.

Abstract
Cutaneous injury triggers a cascade of signaling events essential for wound re-epithelialization. CD9, a cell-surface protein, has been implicated in a number of cellular processes by coupling to intracellular signaling; however, its exact role in wound healing remains unidentified. We reported that CD9 was downregulated in migrating epidermis, and reelevated to basal level when re-epithelialization was completed. Although low level of CD9 appears to be required for normal wound healing, a significant healing delay was found in CD9-null mice, with wounds gaping wider on day 5 and day 7 post wounding. Further analysis showed that re-epithelialization was adversely affected in CD9-null mice, due to impaired migration of epidermis. Notably, CD9 deficiency caused a persistent enhancement of C-JUN NH2 terminal kinase (JNK) signaling primarily in migrating epidermis with abnormal elevation of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 detected in CD9-null wounds, leading to excessive degradation of type IV collagen, and thus a defective basement membrane at the wound site. JNK suppression reduced MMP-9 production and therefore ameliorated the healing delay with the appearance of significantly elongated migrating epidermis in CD9-null mice. Our study demonstrated the importance of CD9 in wound re-epithelialization, linking this molecule directly to basement membrane formation and epidermal migration through participating in the regulation of the JNK/MMP-9 pathway.

Abstract
Members of the tetraspanin family of transmembrane proteins including CD9, CD37, CD53, CD63, CD81, CD82, CD151, etc., contribute to the structural organization of the plasma membrane by forming microdomain structures, influencing cell fusion and regulating cell motility. Interestingly, K41, a CD9-specific monoclonal antibody (mAb), inhibits the release of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1), and the canine distemper virus (CDV)-, but not measles virus (MV)-induced cell-cell fusion. This mAb, which recognizes a conformational epitope on the large extracellular loop (LEL) of CD9, induced rapid relocation and clustering of CD9 in net-like structures at cell-cell contact areas.1 High-resolution analyses revealed that CD9 clustering is accompanied by the formation of microvilli that protrude from either side of adjacent cell surfaces, thus forming structures like microvilli zippers. While the cellular CD9-associated proteins beta1-integrin and EWI-F were co-clustered with CD9 at cell-cell interfaces, viral proteins in infected cells were differentially affected. MV envelope proteins were detected within, whereas CDV proteins were excluded from CD9 clusters, and thus, the tetraspanin CD9 can regulate cell-cell fusion by controlling the access of the viral fusion machinery to cell contact areas.

Abstract
Extending genome wide association analysis by the inclusion of gene expression data may assist in the dissection of complex traits. We examined piebald, a pigmentation phenotype in both human and Merino sheep, by analysing multiple data types using a systems approach. First, a case control analysis of 49,034 ovine SNP was performed which confirmed a multigenic basis for the condition. We combined these results with gene expression data from five tissue types analysed with a skin-specific microarray. Promoter sequence analysis of differentially expressed genes allowed us to reverse-engineer a regulatory network. Likewise, by testing two-loci models derived from all pair-wise comparisons across piebald-associated SNP, we generated an epistatic network. At the intersection of both networks, we identified thirteen genes with insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP7), platelet-derived growth factor alpha (PDGFRA) and the tetraspanin platelet activator CD9 at the kernel of the intersection. Further, we report a number of differentially expressed genes in regions containing highly associated SNP including ATRN, DOCK7, FGFR1OP, GLI3, SILV and TBX15. The application of network theory facilitated co-analysis of genetic variation with gene expression, recapitulated aspects of the known molecular biology of skin pigmentation and provided insights into the transcription regulation and epistatic interactions involved in piebald Merino sheep.

Native type IV collagen induces cell migration through a CD9 and DDR1-dependent pathway in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Eur J Cell Biol 2010; 89:843-52.

Abstract
CD9 is a member of the tetraspanin family and is widely expressed in the plasma membrane of several cell types as well as malignant cells. CD9 associates with a number of transmembrane proteins, which facilitates biological processes, including cell signaling, adhesion, migration and proliferation. DDR1 is activated by native type IV collagen and overexpressed in human breast cancer. Type IV collagen is the main component of basement membranes, and may interact with cell surface biomolecules, promoting adhesion and motility. However, the role of DDR1 and type IV collagen in the regulation of CD9-cell surface levels and migration in breast cancer cells has not been studied in detail. We demonstrate here that native type IV collagen induces a transient increase of CD9-cell surface levels through a DDR1-dependent pathway in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, as revealed by flow cytometry and Western blotting using specific antibodies that recognize CD9. In contrast, type IV collagen does not induce any increase of CD9-cell surface levels in the mammary non-tumorigenic epithelial cells MCF10A and MCF12A. Transient increase of CD9-cell surface levels is coupled with clathrin-mediated endocytosis and it is dependent of DDR1 expression. In addition, type IV collagen induces cell migration through a DDR1 and CD9-dependent pathway. In summary, our data demonstrate, for the first time, that native type IV collagen induces a transient increase of CD9-cell surface levels and cell migration through a DDR1 and CD9-dependent pathway in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CD9 is a member of the tetraspanins, and has been shown to be involved in a variety of cellular activities such as motility, cell signaling, proliferation, adhesion, and metastasis. However, very little is known about the involvement of CD9 in the process of development of primary tumors. In the present study, we investigated whether anti-CD9 monoclonal antibody (ALB6) has antitumor effects in human gastric cancer cell xenografts. METHODS Human gastric cancer cell lines (MKN-28) (5 x 10(6) cells/animal) were inoculated subcutaneously into the dorsal region of SCID mice (five mice in each group). After a tumor was visualized, animals were assigned to either the ALB6 treatment group or the control IgG treatment group (100 microg/body/time, intravenous, three times per week. Day 1, 4, and 7 of first week). Then tumor volumes were monitored every day. Proliferation of tumor was analyzed by 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) immunostaining, apoptosis was determined by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick-end labeling (TUNEL) methods, and angiogenesis was assessed by counting the number of CD34-positive endothelial cells. RESULTS Tumor volume was significantly suppressed (1,682 +/- 683 mm(3) versus 4,507 +/- 1,012 mm(3); P = 0.049), the BrdU labeling indexes were significantly decreased (10.9 +/- 1.1% versus 17.2 +/- 1.4%; P = 0.009), the apoptotic indexes were significantly increased (1.98 +/- 0.48% versus 0.72 +/- 0.09%; P = 0.034), and tumor microvessel densities were significantly suppressed (671,922 +/- 34,505 pixels/mm(2) versus 1,135,043 +/- 36,086 pixels/mm(2); P = 0.037) in the ALB6 treatment group compared with the control IgG treatment group. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that administration of anti-CD9 antibody to mice bearing human gastric cancer cells successfully inhibits tumor progression via antiproliferative, proapoptotic, and antiangiogenetic effects.

Abstract
Tetraspanins are potentially useful molecular markers that differentiate between tumour classes and subtypes, since members of this protein family were often found to be altered during malignant conversion and tumour progression. In this study, we analysed expression of the tetraspanin CD9 in the frequent cutaneous neoplasms basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and actinic keratosis (AK), which is considered a precursor lesion (carcinoma in situ) from which an invasive SCC can develop. A moderate to strong CD9-specific staining of the tumour cells' plasma membranes was uniquely observed in all BCCs, SCCs and AKs. All SCCs showed additional intracellular CD9 which was rarely (20%) seen in AKs. Semi-quantitative assessment of CD9 present in the plasma membranes of tumour cells of BCCs (mean staining intensity 1.91) and SCCs (3.64) reflected the different CD9 expression of normal precursor cells from which these tumours most likely originate. Although considered an intermediate stage in the development of SCCs, AKs did not show intense staining of the plasma membranes typical of normal keratinocytes or invasive SCCs (p=0.011) but only moderate intensity (mean 1.63). In BCCs, significantly (p=0.0005, n=56) stronger CD9-specific immunoreactivity was seen in the inner regions of the tumours than at their sites of expansion. In summary, our results point to an important role of CD9 at the front of tumour expansion in BCCs and SCCs, and in the pathogenesis of invasive SCCs.

Abstract
The heparin-binding growth factor, MK, promoting tumorigenesis and survival was found to associate with alpha6beta1 integrins. We showed for the first time that MK interacted with TSPAN1 and facilitated the association between TSPAN1 and integrin alpha6beta1 proteins in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cells. We found that MK mediated an integrin-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK and activation of paxillin and Stat1alpha pathways. As result, downstream target genes implicated in cell migration and invasiveness (e.g. MMP-2 and MMP-26) were overexpressed. We observed that RNAi silencing of the critical signaling intermediates led to decrease of MK-induced migration/invasiveness of HNSCC cells. The major finding of this study is a novel MK-triggered signaling mechanism implicated in migration and invasiveness of HNSCC cells.

Abstract
CD9 has been reported to play a role in tumor metastasis suppression. However, it is not fully understood how CD9 affects the hematogenous spread of tumor cells. To clarify a new mechanism (or mechanisms), we generated HT1080 cells that had been transfected with a CD9-expressing plasmid. Ectopic expression of CD9 in HT1080 cells actually reduced their metastatic ability. CD9 expression reduced lung retention and platelet aggregation activity of the transfectants. Because HT1080 cells express the metastasis-promoting, platelet aggregation-inducing factor Aggrus/podoplanin on their surface, we examined the relationship between CD9 and Aggrus. We discovered that CD9 formed a complex with Aggrus via transmembrane domains 1 and 2 (TM1 and TM2) of CD9. Investigation of the interaction revealed that each CD9 and Aggrus interacted homophilically, and that they colocalized in low-density membrane fractions. Deleting TM1 and TM2 attenuated the ability of CD9 to interact homophilically or to localize in low-density membrane fractions. The expression of CD9-wild-type (WT), but not CD9 lacking TM1 and TM2, attenuated the platelet aggregation and metastasis induced by forced expression of Aggrus in CHO cells. Therefore, CD9 may act as a metastasis suppressor, at least in part, by neutralizing Aggrus-mediated platelet aggregation.

Abstract
CD9 is a member of the tetraspanins, and has been shown to be involved in a variety of cellular activities such as migration, proliferation, and adhesion. In addition, it has been known that CD9 can associate with other proteins. Here we demonstrated the physical and functional association of CD9 with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) on MKN-28 cells. Double-immunofluorescent staining and immunoprecipitation demonstrated the complex formation of CD9-EGFR and CD9-beta(1) integrin, and that both complexes are colocalized on the cell surface especially at the cell-cell contact site. Anti-CD9 monoclonal antibody ALB6 induced a dotted or patch-like aggregation pattern of both CD9-EGFR and CD9-beta(1) integrin. The internalization of EGFR after EGF-stimulation was significantly enhanced by the treatment with ALB6. CD9 can associate with EGFR in hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HepG2/CD9) and Chinese hamster ovary cancer cells (CHO-HER/CD9), which were transfected with pTJ/human EGFR/CD9. Furthermore expression of CD9 specifically attenuated EGFR signaling in CHO-HER/CD9 cells through the down regulation of surface expression of EGFR. These results suggest that CD9 might have an important role that attenuates EGFR signaling. Therefore, CD9 not only associates EGFR but also a new regulator, which may affect EGF-induced signaling in cancer cells.

Abstract
Members of the tetraspanin family including CD9 contribute to the structural organization and plasticity of the plasma membrane. K41, a CD9-specific monoclonal antibody, inhibits the release of HIV-1 and canine distemper virus (CDV)- but not measles virus (MV)-induced cell-cell fusion. We now report that K41, which recognizes a conformational epitope on the large extracellular loop of CD9, induces rapid relocation and clustering of CD9 in net-like structures at cell-cell contact areas. High-resolution analyses revealed that CD9 clustering is accompanied by the formation of microvilli that protrude from either side of adjacent cell surfaces, thus forming structures like microvilli zippers. While the cellular CD9-associated proteins beta(1)-integrin and EWI-F were co-clustered with CD9 at cell-cell interfaces, viral proteins in infected cells were differentially affected. MV envelope proteins were detected within CD9 clusters, whereas CDV proteins were excluded from CD9 clusters. Thus, the tetraspanin CD9 can regulate cell-cell fusion by controlling the access of the fusion machinery to cell contact areas.

Abstract
Background Cell migration is a highly complex process, regulated by multiple genes, signaling pathways and external stimuli. To discover genes or pharmacological agents that can modulate the migratory activity of cells, screening strategies that enable the monitoring of diverse migratory parameters in a large number of samples are necessary. Methodology In the present study, we describe the development of a quantitative, high-throughput cell migration assay, based on a modified phagokinetic tracks (PKT) procedure, and apply it for identifying novel pro-migratory genes in a cancer-related gene library. In brief, cells are seeded on fibronectin-coated 96-well plates, covered with a monolayer of carboxylated latex beads. Motile cells clear the beads, located along their migratory paths, forming tracks that are visualized using an automated, transmitted-light screening microscope. The tracks are then segmented and characterized by multi-parametric, morphometric analysis, resolving a variety of morphological and kinetic features. Conclusions In this screen we identified 4 novel genes derived from breast carcinoma related cDNA library, whose over-expression induces major alteration in the migration of the stationary MCF7 cells. This approach can serve for high throughput screening for novel ways to modulate cellular migration in pathological states such as tumor metastasis and invasion.

Abstract
The cell surface expression of CD9, a glycoprotein of the tetraspanin family influencing several processes including cell motility and metastasis, inversely correlates with progression in several solid tumors. In the present work, we studied the expression and role of CD9 in multiple myeloma (MM) biology using the 5T33MM mouse model. The 5T33MMvitro cells were found to be CD9 negative. Injection of these cells in mice caused upregulation of CD9 expression, while reculturing them resulted in downregulation of CD9. Coculturing of CD9-negative 5T33MMvitro cells with BM endothelial cells (BMECs) resulted in a partial retrieval of CD9. Laser microdissection followed by real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry performed on bone sections of 5T33MMvivo diseased mice demonstrated strong local expression of CD9 on MM cells in contact with BMEC compared to MM cells further away. These findings were also confirmed by immunohistochemistry in MM patients. Neutralizing anti-CD9 antibodies inhibited transendothelial invasion of CD9-expressing human MM5.1 and murine 5T33MMvivo cells. In conclusion, we provide evidence that CD9 expression by the MM cells is upregulated in vivo by close interaction of the cells with BMEC and that CD9 is involved in transendothelial invasion, thus possibly mediating homing and/or spreading of the MM cells.

Abstract
Tetraspanins are integral membrane proteins involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. In cancer, clinical and experimental studies have reported a link between tetraspanin expression levels and metastasis. Tetraspanins play a role as organizers of a molecular network of interactions, the "tetraspanin web". Here, we have performed a proteomic characterization of the tetraspanin web using a model of human colon cancer consisting of two cell lines derived from primary tumor and metastasis from the same patient. The tetraspanin complexes were isolated after immunoaffinity purification and the proteins were identified by MS using LC-ESI-MS/MS and MALDI-FTICR. The high resolution and mass accuracy of FTICR MS allowed reliable identification using mass finger printing with only two peptides. Thus, it could be used to resolve the composition of complex peptide mixtures from membrane proteins. Different types of membrane proteins were identified, including adhesion molecules (integrins, Lu/B-CAM, GA733 proteins), receptors and signaling molecules (BAI2, PKC, G proteins), proteases (ADAM10, TADG15), and membrane fusion proteins (syntaxins) as well as poorly characterized proteins (CDCP1, HEM-1, CTL1, and CTL2). Some components were differentially detected in the tetraspanin web of the two cell lines. These differences may be relevant for tumor progression and metastasis.

Abstract
CD9, a tetraspanin protein, makes crucial contributions to sperm egg fusion, other cellular fusions, epidermal growth factor receptor signaling, cell motility, and tumor suppression. Here we characterize a low affinity anti-CD9 antibody, C9BB, which binds preferentially to homoclustered CD9. Using mAb C9BB as a tool, we show that cell surface CD9 homoclustering is promoted by expression of alpha3beta1 and alpha6beta4 integrins and by palmitoylation of the CD9 and beta4 proteins. Conversely, CD9 is shifted toward heteroclusters upon expression of CD9 partner proteins (EWI-2 and EWI-F) or other tetraspanins, or upon ablation of CD9 palmitoylation. Furthermore, unpalmitoylated CD9 showed enhanced EWI-2 association, thereby demonstrating a previously unappreciated role for tetraspanin palmitoylation, and underscoring how depalmitoylation and EWI-2 association may collaborate to shift CD9 from homo- to heteroclusters. In conclusion, we have used a novel molecular probe (mAb C9BB) to demonstrate the existence of multiple types of CD9 complex on the cell surface. A shift from homo- to heteroclustered CD9 may be functionally significant because the latter was especially obvious on malignant epithelial tumor cells. Hence, because of its specialized properties, C9BB may be more useful than other anti-CD9 antibodies for monitoring CD9 during tumor progression.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma have a poor prognosis due to the extraordinary high invasive capacity of this tumor. Altered integrin and tetraspanin expression is suggested to be an important factor. We recently reported that after protein kinase C activation, colocalization of alpha6beta4 with the tetraspanin CO-029 strongly supports migration of a rat pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The finding led us to explore whether and which integrin-tetraspanin complexes influence the motility of human pancreatic tumors. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Integrin and tetraspanin expression of pancreatic and colorectal adenocarcinoma was evaluated with emphasis on colocalization and the impact of integrin-tetraspanin associations on tumor cell motility. RESULTS The majority of pancreatic and colorectal tumors expressed the alpha2, alpha3, alpha6, beta1, and beta4 integrins and the tetraspanins CD9, CD63, CD81, CD151, and CO-029. Expression of alpha6beta4 and CO-029 was restricted to tumor cells, whereas alpha1, alpha2, alpha3, alpha6, beta1, and CD9, CD81, CD151 were also expressed by the surrounding stroma. CD63, CD81, and beta1 expression was observed at comparably high levels in healthy pancreatic tissue. alpha3beta1 frequently colocalized and coimmunoprecipitated with CD9, CD81, and CD151, whereas alpha6beta4 colocalized and coimmunoprecipitated mostly with CD151 and CO-029. Notably, protein kinase C activation strengthened only the colocalization of CD151 and CO-029 with beta4 and was accompanied by internalization of the integrin-tetraspanin complex, decreased laminin 5 adhesion, and increased cell migration. CONCLUSION alpha6beta4 is selectively up-regulated in pancreatic and colorectal cancer. The association of alpha6beta4 with CD151 and CO-029 correlates with increased tumor cell motility.

Abstract
Tetraspanin-5 (Tspan-5) mRNA was recently shown to be strongly expressed within the central nervous system. In order to address Tspan-5 function during nervous system development, we performed a detailed expression analysis in the postnatal FVB/N mouse cerebellum using in situ hybridizations. Tspan-5 mRNA was expressed within cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs) throughout postnatal development. The expression level, however, changed significantly with ongoing development. At the day of birth (P0), Tspan-5 mRNA was expressed at very low levels in PCs. At this time, PCs of the FVB/N strain are postmitotic and bear axons, but no dendrites. At P7, Tspan-5 mRNA expression was visible in all PCs, but was more prominent in those of the posterior lobules as compared to those of the anterior lobules. After P7, high levels of Tspan-5 mRNA were seen in all PCs, which is when PCs elaborate and maintain their typical dendritic tree. This demonstrates that the level of Tspan-5 mRNA is related to the developmental status of PCs. Consistently, expression of Tspan-5 mRNA was specifically reduced in PCs of L7En-2 animals, which display a delay in PC maturation during postnatal cerebellar development. In addition, whereas no Tspan-5 mRNA signal could be detected in the proliferating granule cell layer, low levels could be found in postmitotic, premigratory granule cells and high levels in settled and differentiated granule cells. Thus, the level of Tspan-5 mRNA expression correlates very well with the differentiation status of particular neurons. The level of Tspan-5 expression might therefore be important for distinct phases of neuronal maturation.

Abstract
As observed previously, tetraspanin palmitoylation promotes tetraspanin microdomain assembly. Here, we show that palmitoylated integrins (α3, α6, and β4 subunits) and tetraspanins (CD9, CD81, and CD63) coexist in substantially overlapping complexes. Removal of β4 palmitoylation sites markedly impaired cell spreading and signaling through p130Cas on laminin substrate. Also in palmitoylation-deficient β4, secondary associations with tetraspanins (CD9, CD81, and CD63) were diminished and cell surface CD9 clustering was decreased, whereas core α6β4–CD151 complex formation was unaltered. There is also a functional connection between CD9 and β4 integrins, as evidenced by anti-CD9 antibody effects on β4-dependent cell spreading. Notably, β4 palmitoylation neither increased localization into “light membrane” fractions of sucrose gradients nor decreased solubility in nonionic detergents—hence it does not promote lipid raft association. Instead, palmitoylation of β4 (and of the closely associated tetraspanin CD151) promotes CD151–α6β4 incorporation into a network of secondary tetraspanin interactions (with CD9, CD81, CD63, etc.), which provides a novel framework for functional regulation.

Abstract
CD9, a member of the tetraspanin family, has been shown to be involved in a range of cellular activities, including migration, proliferation and adhesion, but the molecular mechanisms by which it mediates such events is unclear. Here, we found that anti-CD9 monoclonal antibody ALB6 inhibited cell proliferation, reduced cell viability and induced not only morphological changes specific to apoptosis but also molecular changes, as evidenced by TUNEL and annexin-V staining. For the possible mechanism of ALB6-induced apoptosis, ALB6 activated the c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase/stress-activated protein kinase (JNK/SAPK) and p38 mitogen-activated-protein kinase (MAPK) within 5-15 minutes, as well as caspase-3 within 24-48 hours. It is noteworthy that ALB6 induced tyrosine phosphorylation of the p46 Shc isoform specifically and that the overexpression of its dominant-negative form completely suppressed the ALB6-induced activation of JNK/SAPK, p38 MAPK and caspase-3, resulting in the inhibition of apoptotic cell death. These results suggest that CD9 might regulate apoptosis through the specialized signals in human cancer cell lines.

Abstract
During human prostate cancer progression, the majority of normally expressed integrins are suppressed with the exception of the alpha6, alpha3, and beta1 integrins. We have shown that in prostate cancer, the alpha6 integrin is found paired with the beta1 integrin and that a novel form of the alpha6 integrin that lacks a large portion of the extracellular domain (alpha6p) exists. The alpha6pbeta1 integrin is found in human prostate cancer tissue specimens as well as tissue culture cell lines and is formed on the cell surface. This review discusses the mechanism of alpha6pbeta1 production and the potential functions of this integrin variant. Our current working model predicts that the alpha6pbeta1 integrin maintains the intracellular cytoskeletal connections associated with the heterodimer while allowing for an alteration in cell adhesion. The mechanism provides a selective advantage for cancer cell metastasis.

Abstract
Cell migration plays a central role in a wide variety of biological events, including embryogenesis, inflammatory immune response, wound healing, or cancer invasion. Tight regulation of cell motility is a prerequisite for normal development and maintenance of an organism, and to avoid metastatic spread of tumor cells. An important determinant of migratory efficiency is the substrate over which a cell migrates. Laminin-5 (Ln-5) is an extracellular matrix component prominent in basement membranes and as such it is a substrate in direct contact with epithelial cells. Interestingly, Ln-5 has been shown to both stimulate and downregulate epithelial cell migration. In this article, we plan to give an overview on the different mechanisms cells employ to regulate their migratory behavior on Ln-5. We will discuss how proteolytic processing of Ln-5 acts as posttranslational modification that plays a major role in the regulation of cell migration. The different proteolytic Ln-5 species may bind to distinct cell surface receptors called integrins, which translate substrate binding into a specific cellular response that triggers cell motility. Furthermore, interaction between Ln-5-binding integrins and other transmembrane and cytoplasmic proteins increases complexity and may allow fine-tuning of cell migration in response to the cellular environment.

Abstract
1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1alpha,25(OH)(2) D(3)) imposes cell cycle block in late G1 phase in cultured human keratinocytes. We wanted to identify early vitamin D target genes using a subtractive screening approach. Human foreskin keratinocytes were grown to about 70% confluence, treated with 2 x 10(-7) M 1alpha,25(OH)(2) D(3) or left untreated and RNA from both populations were isolated after 22h of incubation. cDNA was synthesised and cloned into plasmid vectors. For screening of the libraries, cDNA was amplified in vitro using T7 RNA polymerase and then the amplified RNA (driver, control population) and single stranded cDNA (tester) were used for subtractive hybridisation. Heterohybrids were then separated from single stranded nucleotides using a hydroxyapatite column. The radiolabeled single stranded cDNA was used for screening a colony blot. Positive clones were rescreened, plasmid DNA was isolated and used for verifying the results by Northern blot analysis, using RNA isolated from untreated keratinocytes, as well as RNA isolated after 6h, 12h and 24h of vitamin D treatment.

Abstract
We have previously shown that CD82, a transmembrane protein of the tetraspanin superfamily is associated with EGFR and has a negative effect on EGF-induced signalling (Odintsova, E., Sugiura, T. and Berditchevski, F. (2000) Curr. Biol. 10, 1009-1012). Here we demonstrate that CD82 specifically attenuates ligand-induced dimerization of EGFR. The recombinant soluble large extracellular loop of CD82 has no effect on the dimerization thereby suggesting that other parts of the protein are required. Although CD82 is also associated with ErbB2 and ErbB3, ligand-induced assembly of the ErbB2-ErbB3 complexes is not affected in CD82-expressing cells. Furthermore, in contrast to the CD82-EGFR association, CD82-ErbB2 and CD82-ErbB3 complexes are stable in the presence of ErbB3 ligand. The effect of CD82 on the formation of EGFR dimers correlates with changes in compartmentalisation of the ErbB receptors on the plasma membrane. Expression of CD82 causes a significant increase in the amount of EGFR and ErbB2 in the light fractions of the sucrose gradient. This correlates with the increased surface expression of gangliosides GD1a and GM1 and redistribution of GD1a and EGFR on the plasma membrane. Furthermore, in CD82-expressing cells GD1a is co-localised with EGFR and the tetraspanin. Taken together our results offer a molecular mechanism of the attenuating activity of CD82 towards EGFR, whereby GD1a functions as a mediator of CD82-dependent compartmentalisation of the receptor.

Abstract
The metastatic subline of a rat pancreatic adenocarcinoma differs from the non-metastasizing subline by overexpression of 5 membrane molecules: CD44 variant isoforms, EpCAM, the tetraspanin D6.1A, an uPAR-related molecule and, as described here, the alpha6beta4 integrin. An antibody-defined molecule was identified by mass spectrometry and cloning as alpha6beta4 integrin. Transfection-induced expression of alpha6beta4 in the non-metastasizing subline did not support migration on laminin 5 or tumor progression. However, when the non-metastasizing subline was doubly transfected to express alpha6beta4 and the D6.1A tetraspanin, intraperitoneally injected tumor cells frequently formed liver metastasis. For the following reasons we assume that metastasis formation is supported by an interaction between alpha6beta4 and D6.1A. (i) The 2 molecules can associate and co-localize. (ii) Co-localization is strengthened by PKC stimulation. (iii) PKC stimulation, which induces a migratory phenotype, leads to a redistribution of alpha6beta4/D6.1A complexes. In resting cells, the molecules co-localize at the trail of the cell; during PKC stimulation they become transiently internalized and are (re-)expressed in the leading lamella. Thus, in the appropriate milieu, i.e. intraperitoneally, alpha6beta4 changes from an adhesion-supporting towards a migration-supporting molecule by its association with a tetraspanin. The findings provide a convincing experimental explanation for the repeatedly described involvement of alpha6beta4 in tumor progression.

Abstract
Transmembrane proteins of the tetraspanin superfamily are associated with integrins and are thought to regulate adhesion-dependent signaling. The molecular mechanisms of this regulation remain unknown. We used rat fibroblasts to analyze the contribution of the tetraspanin CD151 in the adhesion-dependent signaling. Expression of CD151 specifically attenuated adhesion-dependent activation of Ras. Furthermore, activation of PKB/c-Akt and ERK1/2, downstream targets in the Ras signaling pathway, was also diminished in cells expressing CD151. In contrast, adhesion-dependent activation of FAK and c-Src were not affected by CD151. The attenuation of Ras signaling did not correlate with phosphorylation of Tyr925-FAK, tyrosine phosphorylation of Shc, or with assembly of the p120RasGAP-p62Dok complex. Using mutants of CD151 we established that the cytoplasmic C-terminal portion is critical for activity of CD151 toward Ras. Taken together these results identify CD151 as a negative regulator of Ras and suggest a novel mechanism of adhesion-dependent regulation of Ras activity.

Abstract
Tetraspanins modulate the function of a variety of membrane proteins, including integrin receptors. We show here that the tetraspanin CD9 preferentially coimmunoprecipitates with the alpha6beta1 integrin heterodimer in F9-derived parietal endoderm cells in comparison to F9 stem cells. We also show that CD9 function-blocking antibody inhibits parietal endoderm migration in an embryoid body outgrowth assay. In addition, both CD9 and alpha6beta1 colocalize with vinculin to apparent focal adhesion sites in parietal endoderm cells. The data presented here suggests a role for CD9 in localizing the integrin to the focal adhesion. In addition, the data suggest a role for CD9 in alpha6beta1 mediated migration of parietal endoderm.

Abstract
A large number of genes are known to be differentially expressed at distinct steps of carcinogenesis. By using a cell culture model system for cervical cancer, we had previously identified several genes that were more strongly expressed when comparing normal cervical epithelium with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cervical cancer. In our study, we show that one of these genes, C4.8, is identical to NET-1, which is a new member of the tetraspanin family of proteins. By generating a mouse polyclonal antiserum against the major extracellular domain of the protein, we could detect NET-1/C4.8 expression both after ectopic expression of the gene in cell cultures and in cryostat sections of cervical biopsies. Moreover, immunohistochemic analyses of normal cervical epithelium, metaplasia, condyloma and CIN of different severity suggest that NET-1/C4.8 expression is associated with neoplastic cell proliferation. Notably, expression of the protein throughout the entire epithelium is only evident for a subset of CIN3. The potential importance for this gene in cervical carcinogenesis is underlined by an invariably strong expression in all undifferentiated squamous cell cancers examined. This indicates that this gene may be of prognostic value.

Abstract
CD9, a member of the tetraspanin family is a cell surface marker expressed on myeloid and nonmyeloid as well as on neoplastic cells. The present study has focused on the role of inflammation and macrophage activation in the regulation of CD9 expression. We report that the expression of CD9 on primary cultures of murine peritoneal macrophages was down regulated by Interferon-gamma, IFN-gamma. This down regulation was concentration-dependent and maximal by 48 h. The changes in surface expression were consistent with similar reductions in CD9 protein and message levels by Western and Northern blot analyses. The mechanism by which IFN-gamma decreases CD9 expression appears to be through the Stat1 signaling pathway as Stat1 knockout mice did not demonstrate any reduction in CD9 expression by IFN-gamma treatment. These results represent the first evidence for the down regulation of CD9 expression with macrophage activation.

Abstract
Pregnancy-specific glycoproteins (PSGs) are a family of highly similar secreted proteins produced by the placenta. PSG homologs have been identified in primates and rodents. Members of the human and murine PSG family induce secretion of antiinflammatory cytokines in mononuclear phagocytes. For the purpose of cloning the receptor, we screened a RAW 264.7 cell cDNA expression library. The PSG17 receptor was identified as the tetraspanin, CD9. We confirmed binding of PSG17 to CD9 by ELISA, flow cytometry, alkaline phosphatase binding assays, and in situ rosetting. Anti-CD9 monoclonal antibody inhibited binding of PSG17 to CD9-transfected cells and RAW 264.7 cells. Moreover, PSG17 binding to macrophages from CD9-deficient mice was significantly reduced. We then tested whether PSG17 binds to other members of the murine tetraspanin family. PSG17 did not bind to cells transfected with CD53, CD63, CD81, CD82, or CD151, suggesting that PSG17-CD9 binding is a specific interaction. We have identified the first receptor for a murine PSG as well as the first natural ligand for a member of the tetraspanin superfamily.

Abstract
Human EGF receptor (HER), also designated HER1, is an activatable tyrosine kinase receptor. HER1 activation regulates cell growth and differentiation in epidermal keratinocytes. Expression of other HER family members was investigated in human keratinocytes cultured under autocrine conditions. HER2 and HER3 are expressed and upregulated by confluence, concurrent with induction of epidermal differentiation. HER4 is not expressed by keratinocytes. Maximum expression of the cognate ligand, heregulin, is observed in subconfluent keratinocytes, and the expression of both heregulin alpha and beta isoforms is downregulated with confluence. Recombinant heregulin isoforms have no effect on colony formation and keratinocyte proliferation, but heregulin beta activates tyrosine phosphorylation of HER2 and HER3, with no effect on HER1, in confluent differentiating keratinocyte cultures. Also, heregulin beta increases HER2/HER3 heterodimerization under those conditions. Treatment of confluent cultures by heregulin beta correlates with cell signaling and inhibition of epidermal differentiation. Together, HER2, HER3, and heregulin constitute a potential autocrine-paracrine system involved in epidermal homeostasis and repair, as well as in hyperproliferative pathologies.

Abstract
The transmembrane proteins of the tetraspanin superfamily are implicated in a diverse range of biological phenomena, including cell motility, metastasis, cell proliferation and differentiation. The tetraspanins are associated with adhesion receptors of the integrin family and regulate integrin-dependent cell migration. In cells attached to the extracellular matrix, the integrin-tetraspanin adhesion complexes are clustered into a distinct type of adhesion structure at the cell periphery. Various tetraspanins are associated with phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase and protein kinase C isoforms, and they may facilitate assembly of signalling complexes by tethering these enzymes to integrin heterodimers. At the plasma membrane, integrin-tetraspanin signalling complexes are partitioned into specific microdomains proximal to cholesterol-rich lipid rafts. A substantial fraction of tetraspanins colocalise with integrins in various intracellular vesicular compartments. It is proposed that tetraspanins can influence cell migration by one of the following mechanisms: (1) modulation of integrin signalling; (2) compartmentalisation of integrins on the cell surface; or (3) direction of intracellular trafficking and recycling of integrins.

Abstract
Although the involvement of alpha 6 beta 4, an integrin laminin receptor, in hemidesmosome organization has dominated the study of this integrin, recent studies are revealing novel functions for alpha 6 beta 4 in the migration of epithelial and carcinoma cells. The engagement of laminin by alpha 6 beta 4 can stabilize actin-rich protrusions and mediate traction forces necessary for cell movement. This integrin also has a significant impact on signaling molecules that stimulate migration and invasion, especially PI3-K and Rho GTPases. Activation of PI3-K by alpha 6 beta 4 enhances the formation of actin protrusions, and it may stimulate the function of other integrins, such as alpha 3 beta 1, that are also important for epithelial migration. Signaling through alpha 6 beta 4 may not always depend on the adhesive functions of this integrin, a possibility that has profound implications for migration and invasion because it implies that the ability of alpha 6 beta 4 to stimulate these processes is not limited to specific matrix environments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND, AIMS The composition of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) is likely to reflect inflammatory modifications that take place in the gingiva during periodontal diseases. METHOD In this study, GCF was collected at 3 different sites from 23 periodontal patients. The sites were assessed to be healthy, presenting gingivitis or periodontitis. 10 healthy individuals without any form of periodontal disease formed the control group and were sampled at one site each. The cell content of GCF was collected using Durapore Millipore strips, and 2 types of cells were studied: epithelial cells (EC) and polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN). The expression of CD9 and HLA-DR within or on the surface of these cells was studied in immunofluorescence on cytospin smears. RESULTS Both CD9 and HLA-DR expression on EC differed significantly from control subjects, and the latter decreased according to the severity of the pathology. None of the PMN found in controls expressed CD9 or HLA-DR. However, in periodontal patients, the expression of HLA-DR within PMNs was detectable and increased according to the severity of lesions. CD9 expression on PMNs also increased with inflammation. CONCLUSION This study shows that clinically healthy sites of periodontal patients already present signs of immunological activation characterised by a down modulation of HLA-DR expression on EC and an upregulation of these 2 molecules in PMN.
