Abstract
Breast cancer, melanoma and glioblastoma cells undergo cell-mediated aggregation and aggregate coalescence in a transparent 3D Matrigel environment. Cells from normal tissue and non-tumorigenic cell lines do not exhibit these behaviors. Here, 266 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) demonstrated to interact with a wide variety of membrane, secreted and matrix proteins, have been screened for their capacity to block these tumorigenic cell-specific behaviors in a 3D environment. Remarkably, only six of the 266 tested mAbs exhibited blocking activity, four targeting integrin ß-1, one targeting integrin α-3 and one targeting CD44. Colocalization of integrins ß-1 and α-3 in fixed cells and in live aggregates suggests that the integrin α-3 ß-1 dimer plays a central role in cancer cell aggregation in the 3D environment provided by Matrigel. Our results suggest that blocking by anti-integrin and anti-CD44 mAbs involves interference in cell-cell interactions.

Abstract
Focal adhesions (FAs) are specialized sites within the cell where clustered integrin receptors interact with the extracellular matrix on the outside of cells and with the actin cytoskeleton on the inside. They provide strong adhesion to the matrix and transmit mechanical tension generated within cells across the plasma membrane to the external environment. Additionally, they act as scaffolds for many signaling pathways triggered by integrin engagement or mechanical force exerted on cells. Here I describe my personal perspective on FA research which I have witnessed since the initial discovery and description of FAs as electron dense regions of the ventral plasma nearly half a century ago.

Abstract
Cell adhesions mediate important bidirectional interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix. They provide an interactive interface between the extracellular chemical and physical environment and the cellular scaffolding and signaling machinery. This dynamic, reciprocal regulation of intracellular processes and the matrix is mediated by membrane receptors such as the integrins, as well as many other components that comprise the adhesome. Adhesome constituents assemble themselves into different types of cell adhesion structures that vary in molecular complexity and change over time. These cell adhesions play crucial roles in cell migration, proliferation, and determination of cell fate.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common malignant brain tumour in adults. One main source of its high malignancy is the invasion of isolated tumour cells into the surrounding parenchyma, which makes surgical resection an insufficient therapy in nearly all cases. The invasion is triggered by several cell surface receptors including receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), TGF-beta receptor, integrins, immunoglobulins, tumour necrosis factor (TNF) family, cytokine receptors, and protein tyrosine phosphatase receptors. The cross-talk between cell-surface receptors and the redundancy of downstream effectors make analysis of invasive signals even more complex. Therapies involving inhibition of single receptors do not give promising outcomes and a thorough knowledge of invasive signals of common and exclusive signalling components is required for design of best combinatory treatment schemes to fight the disease.

Abstract
The balance of transition between distinct adhesion types contributes to the regulation of mesenchymal cell migration, and the characteristic association of adhesions with actin filaments led us to question the role of actin filament-associating proteins in the transition between adhesive states. Tropomyosin isoform association with actin filaments imparts distinct filament structures, and we have thus investigated the role for tropomyosins in determining the formation of distinct adhesion structures. Using combinations of overexpression, knockdown, and knockout approaches, we establish that Tm5NM1 preferentially stabilizes focal adhesions and drives the transition to fibrillar adhesions via stabilization of actin filaments. Moreover, our data suggest that the expression of Tm5NM1 is a critical determinant of paxillin phosphorylation, a signaling event that is necessary for focal adhesion disassembly. Thus, we propose that Tm5NM1 can regulate the feedback loop between focal adhesion disassembly and focal complex formation at the leading edge that is required for productive and directed cell movement.

Abstract
Communication between cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM) is critical for regulation of cell growth, survival, migration, and differentiation. Remodeling of the ECM can occur under normal physiological conditions, as a result of tissue injury, and in certain pathological conditions. ECM remodeling leads to alterations in ECM composition and organization that can alter many aspects of cell behavior, including cell migration. The cell migratory response varies depending on the type, amount, and organization of ECM molecules present, as well as the integrin and proteoglycan repertoire of the cells. We and others have shown that the deposition of several ECM molecules, including collagen types I and III, depends on the presence and stability of ECM fibronectin. Hence, the effect of fibronectin and fibronectin matrix on cell function may partially depend on its ability to direct the deposition of collagen in the ECM. In this study, we used collagen-binding fibronectin mutants and recombinant peptides that interfere with fibronectin-collagen binding to show that fibronectin-dependent collagen I deposition regulates the cell migratory response to fibronectin. These data show that the ability of fibronectin to organize other proteins in the ECM is an important aspect of fibronectin function and highlight the importance of understanding how interactions between ECM proteins influence cell behavior.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Gingival overgrowth is a side-effect of nifedipine and cyclosporin medications. Integrins are transmembrane glycoproteins that mediate cell adhesion, regulate cell proliferation and participate in the regulation of tissue fibrosis. The aim of this study was to investigate whether expression of epithelial cell integrins is linked to the development of drug-induced gingival overgrowth. MATERIAL AND METHODS Human gingival biopsies of patients taking nifedipine, cyclosporin, or a combination of both medications, were used. Expression of the alpha5beta1, alphavbeta1 and alphavbeta6 integrins, and of cellular extra domain A of fibronectin, was localized in frozen sections using immunohistochemistry. RESULTS The activated conformation of the beta1, alpha5beta1 and alphavbeta6 integrins were more frequently expressed in distinct locations in the oral epithelium in the combined drug group. Cellular extra domain A of fibronectin, a ligand for both alpha5beta1 and alphavbeta6 integrins, was expressed within the connective tissue of all groups. It was also expressed around the basal keratinocytes of the control, nifedipine and cyclosporin-induced gingival overgrowth groups, but not in the combined medication group. No relationship between the presence of inflammation and integrin expression was found. CONCLUSION The results indicate that expression of certain integrins is up-regulated in the epithelium of drug-induced gingival overgrowth where they could participate in controlling the formation of elongated rete ridges and tissue fibrosis.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the corneal epithelial cell growth rate and adhesion to novel hydrogels with (1) extracellular matrix proteins [fibronectin, laminin, substance P, and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1)] and (2) peptide sequences [RGD and fibronectin adhesion-promoting peptide (FAP)] tethered to their surface on poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chains. The growth rate to confluence of primary rabbit cornea epithelial cells was compared for plain polymethacrylic acid-co-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (PHEMA/MAA) hydrogels, PHEMA/MAA hydrogels coated with extracellular matrix proteins or peptides, and PHEMA/MAA hydrogels with tethered extracellular matrix proteins or peptides on the surface. The development of focal adhesions by the epithelial cells grown on the surfaces was determined by F-actin staining. Little to no epithelial cell growth occurred on the plain hydrogel surfaces throughout the 15-day culture period. Of the coated hydrogels, only the fibronectin-coated surfaces showed a significant increase in cell growth compared to plain hydrogels (p < 0.009). However, even these surfaces reached a maximum of only 20% confluence. Laminin, fibronectin adhesion-promoting peptide (FAP), and fibronectin/laminin (1:1) tether-modified hydrogels all achieved 100% confluence by the end of the culture period, although the rates at which confluence was reached differed. F-actin staining showed that focal adhesions were formed for the laminin, FAP, and fibronectin/laminin tether-modified surfaces. The results support the hypothesis that tethering certain extracellular matrix proteins and/or peptides to the hydrogel surface enhances epithelial cell growth and adhesion, compared with that seen for protein-coated or plain hydrogel surfaces.

Abstract
Cell adhesion mediated by integrin receptors has a critical function in organizing cells in tissues and in guiding haematopoietic cells to their sites of action. However, integrin adhesion receptors have broader functions in regulating cell behaviour through their ability to transduce bi-directional signals into and out of the cell and to engage in reciprocal interactions with other cellular receptors. This historical perspective traces the key findings that have led to our current understanding of these important functions of integrins.

Abstract
The interaction of cells with extracellular matrix recruits multiple proteins to cell-matrix contact sites (e.g. focal and fibrillar adhesions), which connect the extracellular matrix to the actin cytoskeleton and regulate cell shape change, migration, and other cellular processes. We previously identified PINCH, an adaptor protein comprising primarily five LIM domains, as a binding protein for integrin-linked kinase (ILK). In this study, we show that PINCH co-localizes with ILK in both focal adhesions and fibrillar adhesions. Furthermore, we have investigated the molecular basis underlying the targeting of PINCH to the cell-matrix contact sites and the functional significance of the PINCH-ILK interaction. We have found that the N-terminal LIM1 domain, which mediates the ILK binding, is required for the targeting of PINCH to the cell-matrix contact sites. The C-terminal LIM domains, although not absolutely required, play an important regulatory role in the localization of PINCH to cell-matrix contact sites. Inhibition of the PINCH-ILK interaction, either by overexpression of a PINCH N-terminal fragment containing the ILK-binding LIM1 domain or by overexpression of an ILK N-terminal fragment containing the PINCH-binding ankyrin domain, retarded cell spreading, and reduced cell motility. These results suggest that PINCH, through its interaction with ILK, is crucially involved in the regulation of cell shape change and motility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The goal of seeding prosthetic conduits with endothelial cells (ECs) has focused attention on the role of EC adhesion molecules. Cell preparation techniques may affect adhesion molecule expression and graft seeding. METHODS Using fluorescent antibody labeling and flow cytometric analysis, this study examined the effectsof monolayer detachment (scraping vs trypsinization), timing of immunolabeling (pre- vs postdetachment), gene transfection (transfected vs nontransfected), and cell selection (antibiotic vs fluorescence sorting) techniques on beta-1 integrin expression in canine microvascular EC (K9MVEC). RESULTS Cell scraping resulted in a significantly higher beta-1 integrin mean fluorescence intensity than did cell trypsinization (P < 0.05). No difference was observed with immunolabeling prior to versus following monolayer harvesting. Gene transfection had no significant effect on beta-1 integrin expression. No advantage was observed between cell selection methods (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION This study suggests that the monolayer harvesting technique employed has a significant impact on beta-1 integrin quantification by flow cytometric analysis. Furthermore, microvascular EC expression of beta-1 integrin was not adversely affected by gene transfection.

Abstract
The angiogenic inducers cysteine-rich angiogenic protein 61 (Cyr61) and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) are structurally related, extracellular matrix-associated heparin-binding proteins. Both can stimulate chemotaxis and promote proliferation in endothelial cells and fibroblasts in culture and induce neovascularization in vivo. Encoded by inducible immediate early genes, Cyr61 and CTGF are synthesized upon growth factor stimulation in cultured fibroblasts and during cutaneous wound healing in dermal fibroblasts. Recently, we have shown that adhesion of primary human fibroblasts to immobilized Cyr61 is mediated through integrin alpha(6)beta(1) and cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) (Chen, N., Chen, C.-C., and Lau, L.F. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 24953-24961), providing the first demonstration of an absolute requirement for HSPGs in integrin-mediated cell attachment. We show in this study that CTGF also mediates fibroblast adhesion through the same mechanism and demonstrate that fibroblasts adhesion to immobilized Cyr61 or CTGF induces distinct adhesive signaling responses consistent with their biological activities. Compared with fibroblast adhesion to fibronectin, laminin, or type I collagen, cell adhesion to Cyr61 or CTGF induces 1) more extensive and prolonged formation of filopodia and lamellipodia, concomitant with formation of integrin alpha(6)beta(1)-containing focal complexes localized at leading edges of pseudopods; 2) activation of intracellular signaling molecules including focal adhesion kinase, paxillin, and Rac with similar rapid kinetics; 3) sustained activation of p42/p44 MAPKs lasting for at least 9 h; and 4) prolonged gene expression changes including up-regulation of MMP-1 (collagenase-1) and MMP-3 (stromelysin-1) mRNAs and proteins sustained for at least 24 h. Together, these results establish Cyr61 and CTGF as bona fide adhesive substrates with specific signaling capabilities, provide a molecular basis for their activities in fibroblasts through integrin alpha(6)beta(1) and HSPG-mediated signaling during attachment and indicate that these proteins may function in matrix remodeling through the activation of metalloproteinases during angiogenesis and wound healing.

Abstract
Autocrine motility factor receptor (AMF-R) is internalized via a clathrin-independent pathway to smooth endoplasmic reticulum tubules. This endocytic pathway is shown here to be inhibited by methyl-(beta)-cyclodextrin (m(beta)CD) implicating caveolae or caveolae-like structures in AMF internalization to smooth ER. AMF-R is also internalized via a clathrin-dependent pathway to a transferrin receptor-negative, LAMP-1/lgpA-negative endocytic compartment identified by electron microscopy as a multivesicular body (MVB). Endocytosed AMF recycles to cell surface fibrillar structures which colocalize with fibronectin; AMF-R recycling is inhibited at 20 degrees C, which blocks endocytosis past the early endosome, but not by m(beta)CD demonstrating that AMF-R recycling to fibronectin fibrils is mediated by clathrin-dependent endocytosis to MVBs. Microtubule disruption with nocodazole did not affect delivery of bAMF to cell surface fibrils indicating that recycling bAMF traverses the MVB but not a later endocytic compartment. Plating NIH-3T3 cells on an AMF coated substrate did not specifically affect cell adhesion but prevented bAMF delivery to cell surface fibronectin fibrils and reduced cell motility. AMF-R internalization and recycling via the clathrin-mediated pathway are therefore rate-limiting for cell motility. This recycling pathway to the site of deposition of fibronectin may be implicated in the de novo formation of cellular attachments or the remodeling of the extracellular matrix during cell movement.

Abstract
Fibronectin matrix assembly is a multistep, integrin-dependent process. To investigate the role of integrin dynamics in fibronectin fibrillogenesis, we developed an antibody-chasing technique for simultaneous tracking of two integrin populations by different antibodies. We established that whereas the vitronectin receptor alpha(v)beta(3) remains within focal contacts, the fibronectin receptor alpha(5)beta(1) translocates from focal contacts into and along extracellular matrix (ECM) contacts. This escalator-like translocation occurs relative to the focal contacts at 6.5 +/- 0.7 microm/h and is independent of cell migration. It is induced by ligation of alpha(5)beta(1) integrins and depends on interactions with a functional actin cytoskeleton and vitronectin receptor ligation. During cell spreading, translocation of ligand-occupied alpha(5)beta(1) integrins away from focal contacts and along bundles of actin filaments generates ECM contacts. Tensin is a primary cytoskeletal component of these ECM contacts, and a novel dominant-negative inhibitor of tensin blocked ECM contact formation, integrin translocation, and fibronectin fibrillogenesis without affecting focal contacts. We propose that translocating alpha(5)beta(1) integrins induce initial fibronectin fibrillogenesis by transmitting cytoskeleton-generated tension to extracellular fibronectin molecules. Blocking this integrin translocation by a variety of treatments prevents the formation of ECM contacts and fibronectin fibrillogenesis. These studies identify a localized, directional, integrin translocation mechanism for matrix assembly.

Abstract
This study establishes that the physical state of the extracellular matrix can regulate integrin-mediated cytoskeletal assembly and tyrosine phosphorylation to generate two distinct types of cell-matrix adhesions. In primary fibroblasts, alpha(5)beta(1) integrin associates mainly with fibronectin fibrils and forms adhesions structurally distinct from focal contacts, independent of actomyosin-mediated cell contractility. These "fibrillar adhesions" are enriched in tensin, but contain low levels of the typical focal contact components paxillin, vinculin, and tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins. However, when the fibronectin is covalently linked to the substrate, alpha(5)beta(1) integrin forms highly tyrosine-phosphorylated, "classical" focal contacts containing high levels of paxillin and vinculin. These experiments indicate that the physical state of the matrix, not just its molecular composition, is a critical factor in defining cytoskeletal organization and phosphorylation at adhesion sites. We propose that molecular organization of adhesion sites is controlled by at least two mechanisms: 1) specific integrins associate with their ligands in transmembrane complexes with appropriate cytoplasmic anchor proteins (e.g., fibronectin-alpha(5)beta(1) integrin-tensin complexes), and 2) physical properties (e.g., rigidity) of the extracellular matrix regulate local tension at adhesion sites and activate local tyrosine phosphorylation, recruiting a variety of plaque molecules to these sites. These mechanisms generate structurally and functionally distinct types of matrix adhesions in fibroblasts.

Abstract
The actin filament-associated protein AFAP-110 is an SH2/SH3 binding partner for Src. AFAP-110 contains several protein-binding motifs in its amino terminus and has been hypothesized to function as an adaptor molecule that could link signaling proteins to actin filaments. Recent studies using deletional mutagenesis demonstrated that AFAP-110 can alter actin filament integrity in SV40 transformed Cos-1 cells. Thus, AFAP-110 may be positioned to modulate the effects of Src upon actin filaments. In this report, we sought to determine whether (a) AFAP-110 could interact with actin filaments directly and (b) deletion mutants could affect actin filament integrity and cell shape in untransformed fibroblast cells. The data demonstrate that the carboxy terminus of AFAP-110 is both necessary and sufficient for actin filament association, in vivo and in vitro. Analysis of the carboxy terminus revealed a mean 40% similarity with other known actin-binding motifs, indicating a mechanism for binding to actin filaments. AFAP-110 can also induce lamellipodia formation. Contiguous with the alpha-helical, actin-binding motif is an alpha-helical, leucine zipper motif. Deletion of the leucine zipper motif (AFAP(Deltalzip)) followed by cellular expression enabled AFAP(Deltalzip) to alter actin filament integrity and cell shape in untransformed cells as evidenced by the induction of lamellipodia formation. We hypothesize that AFAP-110 may be an important signaling protein that can directly modulate changes in actin filament integrity and induce lamellipodia formation.

Abstract
Based on genetic, functional and histological studies, the extracellular matrix molecule fibronectin has been proposed to play a key role in the migration of neural crest cells in the vertebrate embryo. In the present study, we have analyzed in vitro the repertoire and function of integrin receptors involved in the adhesive and locomotory responses of avian truncal neural crest cells to fibronectin. Immunoprecipitation experiments showed that neural crest cells express multiple integrins, namely (alpha)3(beta)1, (alpha)4(beta)1, (alpha)5(beta)1, (alpha)8(beta)1, (alpha)v(beta)1, (alpha)v(beta)3 and a (beta)8 integrin, as potential fibronectin receptors, and flow cytometry analyses revealed no major heterogeneity among the cell population for expression of integrin subunits. In addition, the integrin repertoire expressed by neural crest cells was found not to change dramatically during migration. At the cellular level, only (alpha)v(beta)1 and (alpha)v(beta)3 were concentrated in focal adhesion sites in connection with the actin microfilaments, whereas the other integrins were predominantly diffuse over the cell surface. In inhibition assays with function-perturbing antibodies, it appeared that complete abolition of cell spreading and migration could be achieved only by blocking multiple integrins of the (beta)1 and (beta)3 families, suggesting possible functional compensations between different integrins. In addition, these studies provided evidence for functional partitioning of integrins in cell adhesion and migration. While spreading was essentially mediated by (alpha)v(beta)1 and (alpha)8(beta)1, migration involved primarily (alpha)4(beta)1, (alpha)v(beta)3 and (alpha)8(beta)1 and, more indirectly, (alpha)3(beta)1. (alpha)5(beta)1 and the (beta)8 integrin were not found to play any major role in either adhesion or migration. Finally, consistent with the results of inhibition experiments, recruitment of (alpha)4(beta)1 and (alpha)v(beta)3, individually or in combination using antibodies or recombinant VCAM-1 and PECAM-1 molecules as a substratum, was required for migration but was not sufficient to produce migration of the cell population as efficiently as with fibronectin. In conclusion, our study indicates that neural crest cells express a multiplicity of fibronectin-binding integrins and suggests that dispersion of the cell population requires cooperation between distinct integrins regulating different events of cell adhesion, locomotion and, possibly, proliferation and survival.

Abstract
Surface protrusions, invadopodia, and analogous lamellipodia at the leading edge of an invasive cell, which make contact with the underlying extracellular matrix (ECM), are the main motor for cellular locomotion and invasion. Previous studies have demonstrated that invadopodia, but not lamellipodia, are sites of ECM degradation on the cell surface. Such degradative activity is in part due to the localization of latent matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and membrane type-1 MMP (MT1-MMP) to invadopodia, where MMP activation occurs. Although lamellipodia exhibit similar structure and mobility to invadopodia, lamellipodia, by virtue of their location at the cellular periphery, are readily accessible to the soluble tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) and blood-borne inhibitors. We show here that TIMP-2 co-localizes with MT1-MMP and MMP-2 at lamellipodia but not with that of invadopodia. Thus, the MMP-TIMP localization at lamellipodia may be a key mechanism for the regulation of MMP activation on the cell surface, which in turn governs expression of the cell-invasive phenotype.

Abstract
We used two cell lines expressing fast (RPEfast) and slow (RPEslow) attachment kinetics to investigate mechanisms of cell-substratum adhesion. We show that the abundance of a cytoskeletal protein, vinculin, is dramatically decreased in RPEfast cells. This coincides with the diminished expression level of an endoplasmic reticulum chaperone, calreticulin. Both protein and mRNA levels for calreticulin and vinculin were decreased in RPEfast cells. After RPEfast cells were transfected with cDNA encoding calreticulin, both the expression of endoplasmic reticulum-resident calreticulin and cytoplasmic vinculin increased. The abundance of other adhesion-related proteins was not affected. RPEfast cells underexpressing calreticulin displayed a dramatic increase in the abundance of total cellular phosphotyrosine suggesting that the effects of calreticulin on cell adhesiveness may involve modulation of the activities of protein tyrosine kinases or phosphatases which may affect the stability of focal contacts. The calreticulin and vinculin underexpressing RPEfast cells lacked extensive focal contacts and adhered weakly but attached fast to the substratum. In contrast, the RPEslow cells that expressed calreticulin and vinculin abundantly developed numerous and prominent focal contacts slowly, but adhered strongly. Thus, while the calreticulin overexpressing RPEslow cells "grip" the substratum with focal contacts, calreticulin underexpressing RPEfast cells use close contacts to "stick" to it.

Abstract
Adherent cells assemble fibronectin into a fibrillar matrix on their apical surface. The fibril formation is initiated by fibronectin binding to the integrins alpha5 beta1 and alphav beta3, and is completed by a process that includes fibronectin self-assembly. We found that a 76- amino acid fragment of fibronectin (III1-C) that forms one of the self-assembly sites caused disassembly of preformed fibronectin matrix without affecting cell adhesion. Treating attached fibroblasts or endothelial cells with III1-C inhibited cell migration and proliferation. Rho-dependent stress fiber formation and Rho-dependent focal contact protein phosphorylation were also inhibited, whereas Cdc42 was activated, leading to actin polymerization into filopodia. ACK (activated Cdc42-binding kinase) and p38 MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase), two downstream effectors of Cdc42, were activated, whereas PAK (p21-activated kinase) and JNK/SAPK (c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase/ stress-activated protein kinase) were inhibited. III1-C treatment also modulated activation of JNK and ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinases) in response to growth factors, and reduced the activity of the cyclin E-cdk2 complex. These results indicate that the absence of fibronectin matrix causes activation of Cdc42, and that fibronectin matrix is required for Rho activation and cell cycle progression.

Abstract
Caveolin-1 functions as a membrane adaptor to link the integrin alpha subunit to the tyrosine kinase Fyn. Upon integrin ligation, Fyn is activated and binds, via its SH3 domain, to Shc. Shc is subsequently phosphorylated at tyrosine 317 and recruits Grb2. This sequence of events is necessary to couple integrins to the Ras-ERK pathway and promote cell cycle progression. These findings reveal an unexpected function of caveolin-1 and Fyn in integrin signaling and anchorage-dependent cell growth.

Abstract
Integrins are a family of heterodimeric, cation-dependent cell membrane adhesion molecules which mediate cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. They play a fundamental role in the maintenance of tissue integrity and in the regulation of cell proliferation, growth, differentiation and migration. It is not surprising, therefore, that integrins have been implicated in neoplasia and tumour progression and metastasis. Integrin expression and function are altered in malignant cells, although no specific integrin has been implicated in transformation to the malignant phenotype and changes in integrin expression vary both between and within different tumour types. In oral squamous cell carcinomas there is variable loss or reduced expression of beta 1 integrins and of alpha 6 beta 4, which correlates to loss of basement membrane proteins and is most extensive in poorly differentiated lesions. There are also changes in the repertoire of alpha v integrin expression with de novo expression of alpha v beta 6 which may be important in tumour cell migration. Conversely there is reduced expression of alpha v beta 5. In vitro studies suggest that this integrin may be important in oral neoplasia since alpha v-negative cell lines show a malignant phenotype which can be reversed by transfection of the missing integrin. Because alterations in integrin expression in oral cancers are so variable, it seems unlikely that they will be useful as prognostic markers. However, studies of integrin expression and function are increasing our understanding of cell interactions in oral cancer and may pave the way for novel therapeutic interventions to arrest the progression of individual tumours.

Abstract
A novel culture system for mammalian cells was used to investigate division orientations in populations of Chinese hamster ovary cells and the influence of gravity on the positioning of division axes. The cells were tethered to adhesive sites, smaller in diameter than a newborn cell, distributed over a nonadhesive substrate positioned vertically. The cells grew and divided while attached to the sites, and the angles and directions of elongation during anaphase, projected in the vertical plane, were found to be random with respect to gravity. However, consecutive divisions of individual cells were generally along the same axis or at 90 degrees to the previous division, with equal probability. Thus, successive divisions were restricted to orthogonal planes, but the choice of plane appeared to be random, unlike the ordered sequence of cleavage orientations seen during early embryo development.

Abstract
In this study we identified tenascin-C (TN-C) and one of its integrin receptors, alpha(v)beta6, in oral squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC) specimens. Neither TN-C nor alpha(v)beta6 are expressed in normal oral mucosa. We also studied 2 human oral squamous-cell carcinoma cell lines: the highly invasive HSC-3 cells, and the poorly invasive SCC-25 cells. We determined that adhesion of these cells to TN-C involves both alpha2 and alpha(v) integrins. Migration on TN-C by oral SCC cells required fibroblast-conditioned medium and did not occur in its absence. This migration was blocked by anti-alpha2 and anti-alpha(v) antibodies and was partially inhibited by antibodies to hepatocyte growth factor, epidermal growth factor and transforming growth factor-beta1. When seeded on TN-C, the poorly invasive SCC-25 cells formed alpha(v)beta6-positive focal contacts; the HSC-3 cells did not. HSC-3, SCC-25 and PTF cells secrete TN-C into the culture medium, as determined by Western blot. However, when HSC-3 cells were inoculated into the floor of the mouth of nude mice, only murine TN-C could be identified in the reactive stroma adjacent to the resulting tumor nests, demonstrating that in vivo, HSC-3 cells do not secrete TN-C. Our results demonstrate that alpha(v)beta6 and tenascin-C are neo-expressed in oral squamous-cell carcinoma, and that the tumor stromal environment is influential in oral SCC behavior.

Abstract
During embryonic development, cell migration and cell differentiation are associated with dynamic modulations both in time and space of the repertoire and function of adhesion receptors, but the nature of the mechanisms responsible for their coordinated occurrence remains to be elucidated. Thus, migrating neural crest cells adhere to fibronectin in an integrin-dependent manner while maintaining reduced N-cadherin-mediated intercellular contacts. In the present study we provide evidence that, in these cells, the control of N-cadherin may rely directly on the activity of integrins involved in the process of cell motion. Prevention of neural crest cell migration using RGD peptides or antibodies to fibronectin and to beta1 and beta3 integrins caused rapid N-cadherin-mediated cell clustering. Restoration of stable intercellular contacts resulted essentially from the recruitment of an intracellular pool of N-cadherin molecules that accumulated into adherens junctions in tight association with the cytoskeleton and not from the redistribution of a preexisting pool of surface N-cadherin molecules. In addition, agents that cause elevation of intracellular Ca2+ after entry across the plasma membrane were potent inhibitors of cell aggregation and reduced the N-cadherin- mediated junctions in the cells. Finally, elevated serine/ threonine phosphorylation of catenins associated with N-cadherin accompanied the restoration of intercellular contacts. These results indicate that, in migrating neural crest cells, beta1 and beta3 integrins are at the origin of a cascade of signaling events that involve transmembrane Ca2+ fluxes, followed by activation of phosphatases and kinases, and that ultimately control the surface distribution and activity of N-cadherin. Such a direct coupling between adhesion receptors by means of intracellular signals may be significant for the coordinated interplay between cell-cell and cell-substratum adhesion that occurs during embryonic development, in wound healing, and during tumor invasion and metastasis.

Abstract
Polymerization of soluble fibronectin into extracellular matrix fibers occurs through the interaction between the amino terminus of fibronectin contained within a 70 kDa fragment and ‘matrix assembly sites’ on the cell surface. The present studies were performed to localize the ‘matrix assembly sites’ (defined by 70 kDa binding sites) on newly adherent cells and on cells containing preformed fibronectin matrix. Matrix nucleation sites on newly spread cells were visualized using Texas Red conjugated 70 kDa fragment and were found to colocalize with vinculin and substrate fibronectin fibrils. Cells plated onto vitronectin coated coverslips did not exhibit any 70 kDa binding sites although these cells were well-spread with fully developed focal adhesions. Time course studies indicated that 70 kDa binding sites could be detected on newly adherent cells within 30–40 minutes following cell plating onto fibronectin coated coverslips, prior to the reorganization of substrate fibronectin into fibrils. Similarly, exogenous fibronectin conjugated with Texas Red was also colocalized with vinculin when added to newly adherent cells. The disruption of actin filaments with cytochalasin D both prevented the expression of 70 kDa binding sites and also resulted in the loss of established 70 kDa binding sites on newly spread cells. After 3 days in culture, cells organized an extensive fibronectin matrix and 70 kDa was colocalized with two distinct types of matrix fibronectin fibers: fine linear cell-associated fibers which co-stained with the beta1 integrin and coarse extracellular fibers which did not stain for the beta1 integrin. There was also a third type of fibronectin fiber which was organized into a meshwork structure. There was no localization of either beta1 or 70 kDa to these structures. Treatment of 3-day cells with cytochalasin D resulted in the disruption of cell-matrix fibers and cell-associated 70 kDa binding sites. In contrast, the coarse extracellular matrix fibers as well as the meshwork fibers were unaffected by cytochalasin. In the presence of cytochalasin D, 70 kDa bound to sites which colocalized with the coarse extracellular matrix fibers. These data suggest that de novo assembly of fibronectin matrix occurs at sites of focal adhesion and as fibronectin polymerization proceeds, matrix nucleation sites colocalize along cell associated fibronectin fibers. At later times 70 kDa is localized to a subset of more mature fibronectin-containing fibers. These results suggest that there are at least three morphologically distinct 70 kDa binding sites on adherent cells: one which colocalizes with beta1 to focal adhesions, a second which colocalizes with beta1 and fibronectin in matrix contacts, and a third which localizes to extracellular matrix fibers.

Abstract
Cyclic strain has been shown to modulate endothelial cell (EC) morphology, proliferation, and function. We have recently reported that the focal adhesion proteins focal adhesion kinase (pp125FAK) and paxillin, are tyrosine phosphorylated in EC exposed to strain and these events regulate the morphological change and migration induced by cyclic strain. Integrins are also localized on focal adhesion sites and have been reported to induce by tyrosine phosphorylation of pp125FAK under a variety of stimuli. To study the involvement of different integrins in signaling induced by cyclic strain, we first observed the redistribution of alpha and beta integrins in EC subjects to 4 h cyclic strain. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) seeded on either fibronectin or collagen surfaces were subjected to 10% average strain at a frequency 60 cycles/min. Confocal microscopy revealed that beta 1 integrin reorganized in a linear pattern parallel with the long axis of the elongated cells creating a fusion of focal adhesion plaques in EC plated on either fibronectin (a ligand for alpha 5 beta 1) or collagen (a ligand for alpha 2 beta 1) coated after 4 h exposure to cyclic strain. beta 3 integrin, which is a vitronectin receptor, did not redistribute in EC exposed to cyclic strain. Cyclic strain also led to a reorganization of alpha 5 and alpha 2 integrins in a linear pattern in HUVEC seeded on fibronectin or collagen, respectively. The expression of integrins alpha 5, alpha 2, and beta 1 did not change even after 24 h exposure to strain when assessed by immunoprecipitation of these integrins. Cyclic strain-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of pp125FAK occurred concomitant with the reorganization of beta 1 integrin. We concluded that alpha 5 beta 1 and alpha 2 beta 1 integrins play an important role in transducing mechanical stimuli into intracellular signals.

Abstract
Localization of integrin receptors to focal contact sites occurs upon ligand binding. This activity is latent, since unoccupied integrin receptors do not localize to focal contacts. Deletion analysis has revealed that the alpha cytoplasmic domains is required for the maintenance of integrin receptor latency. Our current hypothesis for the mechanism of integrin post-ligand binding events is that there is a change in relationship of alpha and beta cytoplasmic domains, which overcomes receptor latency. One possible mechanism for such a change would involve the amino acid residues at the membrane-cytoplasm interface. To test this hypothesis, we have produced point mutations in the human integrin alpha 1 subunit. These mutations had no effect on the adhesion via alpha 1 beta 1 to its ligand, collagen IV. However, receptor latency is lost in one of these mutants, leading to constitutive focal contact localization. This effect did not occur in receptors with an exchange of intracellular domains, suggesting that the mechanism of loss of latency involves a relative motion of the integrin chains. These results suggest a model in which post-ligand binding events in integrin receptors are associated with changes in the position of the alpha and beta cytoplasmic domains.

Abstract
Periodontal tissue shows various morphological changes with ageing. A typical example of these changes is the apical migration of the junctional epithelium. The distribution of fibronectin and laminin was investigated by immunofluorescent and immunoelectron-microscope methods in mice to clarify any possible functional roles of these proteins in the apical migration of junctional epithelium. Apical migration begins in 20-week-old mice, and then progresses with increasing age until the mice reach 80 weeks. In the apical tip of the junctional epithelium, fibronectin was demonstrated in the sub-epithelial fibrillar matrix, preceding the progression of apical migration. Fibronectin was also demonstrated in association with the stromal side of focal contacts between epithelial cells and basement membrane. Therefore, these focal contacts are assumed to be fibronectin receptors. There was no apparent relation between the localization of laminin and the migration of the junctional epithelium. These results suggest that the fibronectin provides a provisional matrix for the apical migration of junctional epithelium, but laminin does not appear to play a major part in that migration.

Abstract
One of the hallmarks of cells undergoing mitotic division is their rounded morphology and reduced adhesion to the substratum. We have studied and compared the attachment of interphase and mitotic cells to substrata coated with fibronectin and vitronectin. We have found that adhesion of mitotic cells, as compared to interphase cells, is significantly reduced to fibronectin, but is higher to vitronectin. These results correlate well with the expression of alpha 5 beta 1 and alpha V beta 3 integrins, the respective receptors for fibronectin and vitronectin, on the cell surface. Mitotic cells show higher levels of alpha V beta 3 and very low levels of alpha 5 beta 1 proteins on the cell surface as compared to interphase cells. This difference in the levels of these integrins also reflects in the total amounts of fibronectin and vitronectin present on the cell surface of these cells. We have further shown, by flow cytometry, that binding of vitronectin, or the synthetic peptide -GRGDSP-, causes an increase in the intracellular levels of Ca2+ in mitotic cells, but no change is seen in the interphase cells. Binding of fibronectin to either of these cells fails to elicit any response. One interesting feature of our results is that the levels of total, i.e., cytoplasmic plus membrane bound, alpha 5 beta 1 and alpha V beta 3 integrins of mitotic and interphase cells remain the same, thus implying an alteration in the distribution of integrin chains between the plasma membrane and the cytoplasm during the conversion of interphase cells into the mitotic phase.

Abstract
Lymphocytes activate adhesion to intracellular adhesion mlecule 1 (ICAM-1) via leukocyte function associated antigen 1 (LFA-1), their major beta 2 integrin, in response to PMA (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate) without an increase in the number of receptors expressed. The molecular details of the mechanism are unknown. To determine the effect of PMA activation on LFA-1 movement within the plasma membrane, we used the single particle tracking technique to measure the diffusion rate of LFA-1 molecules on EBV-transformed B cells before and after PMA activation. Diffusion of LFA-1 on unactivated cells was restricted compared to CR1 (CD35), another transmembrane protein of equivalent size. PMA caused a 10-fold increase in the diffusion rate of LFA-1 without any effect on CD35. The increased LFA-1 motion induced by PMA was random, not directed, indicating that it was due to a release of constraints rather than the application of forces. The diffusion rates of LFA-1 are consistent with cytoskeletal attachment before and free diffusion after PMA. Cytochalasin D led to an equivalent increase in mobility and, at low doses, stimulated adhesion, implying that the nonadhesive state of LFA-1 is actively maintained by the lymphocyte cytoskeleton.

Abstract
The ability of human fibroblasts to remove and reorganize fibronectin (FN) bound on material surfaces was studied as a novel feature of material surface biocompatibility. Other traditional parameters of biocompatibility analyzed included cell spreading, clustering of fibronectin receptors into focal adhesions, development of stress fibers, and cell growth. Five different materials with surface wettability ranging from hydrophilic (underwater contact angle 25 degrees) to hydrophobic (underwater contact angle 111 degrees) were used, i.e., clean glass (GLASS), aminopropylsilane (APS), octadecylsilane (ODS), polylactate (PL), and silicone (SI). When cells were cultured on these materials in serum-containing medium, formation of FN receptor-rich focal adhesions and actin stress fibers were more evident on the hydrophilic surfaces (GLASS and APS) compared to the hydrophobic ones (PL, ODS, and SI). Cell growth showed a similar pattern, that is, increased cell proliferation with increasing material surface wettability. Preadsorption of FN on the material surfaces increased subsequent cell spreading and cytoskeletal reorganization on hydrophobic surfaces except SI. Removal and reorganization of FN from the material surfaces into extracellular matrixlike structures occurred on GLASS but not on less wettable surfaces, suggesting that this removal/reorganization process may be more sensitive to changes in surface wettability than other parameters of biocompatibility.

Abstract
Many adhesion receptors have high three-dimensional dissociation constants (Kd) for counter-receptors compared to the KdS of receptors for soluble extracellular ligands such as cytokines and hormones. Interaction of the T lymphocyte adhesion receptor CD2 with its counter-receptor, LFA-3, has a high solution-phase Kd (16 microM at 37 degrees C), yet the CD2/LFA-3 interaction serves as an effective adhesion mechanism. We have studied the interaction of CD2 with LFA-3 in the contact area between Jurkat T lymphoblasts and planar phospholipid bilayers containing purified, fluorescently labeled LFA-3. Redistribution and lateral mobility of LFA-3 were measured in contact areas as functions of the initial LFA-3 surface density and of time after contact of the cells with the bilayers. LFA-3 accumulated at sites of contact with a half-time of approximately 15 min, consistent with the previously determined kinetics of adhesion strengthening. The two-dimensional Kd for the CD2/LFA-3 interaction was 21 molecules/microns 2, which is lower than the surface densities of CD2 on T cells and LFA-3 on most target or stimulator cells. Thus, formation of CD2/LFA-3 complexes should be highly favored in physiological interactions. Comparison of the two-dimensional (membrane-bound) and three-dimensional (solution-phase) KdS suggest that cell-cell contact favors CD2/LFA-3 interaction to a greater extent than that predicted by the three-dimensional Kd and the intermembrane distance at the site of contact. LFA-3 molecules in the contact site were capable of lateral diffusion in the plane of the phospholipid bilayer and did not appear to be irreversibly trapped in the contact area, consistent with a rapid off-rate. These data provide insights into the function of low affinity interactions in adhesion.

Abstract
Fibroblasts adhesion, spreading, and proliferation was investigated in this study using glass and octadecyl glass (ODS) as models for hydrophobic substrata in the absence or presence of preadsorbed fibronectin (FN). To learn more about the underlying mechanism of the biocompatibility of materials, the organization of the beta 1 integrin and the phosphorylation of tyrosine residues in focal contacts was investigated by immunofluorescence microscopy. The diminished adhesion and spreading of fibroblasts on hydrophobic ODS in comparison to clean glass was indicated by a diffuse presence of actin and by the absence of focal contacts and phosphotyrosine activity. In contrast, on hydrophilic glass, initial stress fibres and focal adhesions appeared accompanied by a moderate phosphotyrosine activity. The preadsorption of FN improved the interaction of fibroblast with both surfaces as indicated by the formation of prominent actin stress fibres and the clusterization of beta 1 integrins in the focal contacts which was co-localized with an increased phosphotyrosine activity. The proliferation of fibroblasts measured after 72 h was inhibited on ODS in comparison to glass. Preadsorption of FN, however, increased the cell proliferation index on both surfaces, which was higher than on pure glass. The improved cell adhesion, spreading, and proliferation of fibroblasts run in parallel with an increased total tyrosine phosphorylation activity measured by an enzyme immuno assay (EIA). It was concluded that the signalling via integrins might be a decisive event during the cell-biomaterial interaction.

Abstract
The influence of extracellular matrix (ECM) on expression and function of integrins in carcinogenesis and differentiation is not well understood, but the importance of altered adhesion features for tumor development and progression is obvious. Integrins as versatile molecules are mainly responsible for mediating cell-matrix interactions and transmembrane signal transduction. They are capable of transducing outside-in signals from ECM components or conversely to organize the matrix by inside-out signaling. In the study presented here, we report that the reconstituted basement membrane, Matrigel, which induces morphological and functional differentiation of the endometrial adenocarcinoma cell line HEC 1B(L), also regulates the expression of various forms of the integrin beta 4 subunit. Furthermore, we were able to identify full-length isoforms with and without an altered cytoplasmic domain as well as truncated forms. Our findings suggest a regulatory role of integrin beta 4 isoforms and fragments in the process of in vitro differentiation of HEC 1B(L).

Abstract
Cell adhesion receptors of the integrin family play a major role during re-epithelialization of human wounds. We have previously documented that the expression of alpha v family integrins is induced in keratinocytes of mucosal wounds [1]. In the present investigation, we extended these studies to determine whether alpha v beta 6 integrin is expressed during wound healing in humans. Mucosal and epidermal wound sections from 1- to 7-day-old wounds were used for immunolocalization of integrins and their putative ligands. In addition, freshly isolated epidermal keratinocytes were used to study integrin expression in vitro. Expression of alpha v beta 6 integrin appeared relatively late during mucosal and dermal wound healing. Maximal expression was seen in 7-day-old wounds in which epithelial sheets had fused and granulation tissue was present. Fibronectin and tenascin, both possible ligands for alpha v beta 6 integrin, were found concentrated underneath the basal epithelial cells expressing this receptor, and the maximal expression of tenascin coincided with that of alpha v beta 6 integrin. Freshly isolated epidermal keratinocytes did not stain for alpha v beta 6 integrin but began to express this integrin after subculturing. Our results suggest that the expression of alpha v beta 6 integrin, a putative binding integrin for fibronectin and tenascin, is induced in keratinocytes when epithelial sheets fuse during wound healing.

Abstract
The effects of Treponema denticola and its outer membrane-bound chymotrypsin-like proteinase on periodontal ligament epithelial cell cultures at different stages of maturity were studied. In sparse cultures with migrating epithelial cells, large intracellular vacuoles were formed rapidly following exposure to live T. denticola. Treponemes showing structural damage were seen occasionally inside membrane-bound vesicles. Intensive membrane blebbing occurred in infected cells and continued for up to 48 h before the cell died. Blebbing could also be induced by a purified chymotrypsin-like proteinase of T. denticola. Cortical actin and alpha-actinin of the bacterium-treated cells showed disorganization, and pericellular fibronectin was degraded by both whole T. denticola and the isolated proteinase. Epithelial cells with well-formed lateral cell contacts appeared to be more resistant to the effects of T. denticola than migrating isolated cells. In multilayer epithelial cultures, adhesion of T. denticola and membrane blebbing were observed infrequently. There was no evidence of invasion of T. denticola into epithelial multilayers. However, immunogold electron microscopy showed rapid transport of T. denticola chymotrypsin-like proteinase into newly formed large intracellular vacuoles within the epithelial layers. These vacuoles were lined by membranes studded with ribosomes. T. denticola-treated epithelial multilayers had loose cell contacts, collapsed intercellular spaces, and increased permeability. Through its capacity to cause these unique cytopathic effects, the chymotrypsin-like proteinase of T. denticola has the potential to contribute to the initiation of periodontal disease.

Abstract
The membrane proximal regions of integrin alpha and beta subunits are highly conserved in evolution. In particular, all integrin alpha subunits share the KXGFFKR sequence at the beginning of their cytoplasmic domains. Previous work has shown that this domain is important in integrin receptor assembly. Using chimeric integrin alpha and beta subunits, we show that the native cytoplasmic domains of both subunits must be present for efficient assembly. Most strikingly, chimeric alpha 1 and beta 1 subunits with reciprocally swapped intracellular domains dimerize selectively into collagen IV receptors expressed at high levels on the surface. However, these receptors, which bind ligand efficiently, are deficient in a variety of post-ligand binding events, including cytoskeletal association and induction of tyrosine phosphorylation. Furthermore, deletion of the distal alpha cytoplasmic domain in the swapped heterodimers leads to ligand-independent focal contact localization, which also occurs in wild-type subunits when the distal cytoplasmic domain is deleted. These results show that proper integrin assembly requires opposed alpha and beta cytoplasmic domains, and this opposition prevents ligand-independent focal contact localization. Our working hypothesis is that these two domains may associate during receptor assembly and provide the mechanism for integrin receptor latency.

Abstract
Epithelial cell behavior in chronic inflammation is poorly characterized. During inflammation of tooth-supporting structures (periodontal disease), increased proliferation of epithelial cells into the inflamed connective tissue stroma is commonly seen. In some areas ulceration and degeneration take place. We studied alterations in the expression of adhesion molecules and integrins during chronic periodontal inflammation. In inflamed tissue, laminin-1 and type IV collagen were still present in the basement membrane and surrounding blood vessels, but they were also found extravascularly in inflamed connective tissue stroma. Type VII collagen and laminin-5 (also known as kalinin, epiligrin, or nicein) were poorly preserved in the basement membrane zone, but both were found in unusual streak-like distributions in the subepithelial connective tissue stroma in inflamed tissue. Both fibronectin and tenascin were substantially decreased in chronically inflamed connective tissue, showing only punctate staining at the basement membrane zone. Integrins of the beta 1 family showed two distinct staining patterns in epithelial cells during chronic inflammation; focal losses of beta 1 integrins (alpha 2 beta 1 and alpha 3 beta 1) were found in most areas, while in other areas the entire pocket epithelium was found to be strongly positive for beta 1 integrins. No members of the alpha v integrin family were found in any epithelia studied. Expression of the alpha 6 beta 4 integrin was high in basal cells of healthy tissue, but weak in epithelium associated with chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation therefore involves alterations in both adhesion proteins and integrins expressed by epithelial cells. Basement membrane components found at abnormal sites in stroma in chronic inflammation might serve as new adhesive ligands for various cell types in inflamed stroma.

Abstract
Translocation of cells over solid substrata depends on generation of motive force, in crawling tissue cells, brought about by regulated contractility of intracellular actomyosin. Intracellular contractile machinery has a direct, structural connection to the cell surface. Hence, regulated adhesiveness of the cell surface provides a mechanism whereby a cell can fine tune the extent of tractional forces that are necessary for effective translocation. Cells are able to control adhesiveness of surfaces (stick), contractility (grip), and the extent of traction exerted on the substratum (slip). Here, I discuss several aspects of local (subcellular) regulation of adhesiveness and contractility and speculate on how cells, given a choice of the substratum, decide on how and where to apply traction.

Abstract
To examine the function of the alpha 6 beta 4 integrin we have determined its ligand-binding ability and overexpressed two potentially dominant negative mutant beta 4 subunits, lacking either the cytoplasmic or extracellular domain, in bladder epithelial 804G cells. The results of cell adhesion and radioligand-binding assays showed that alpha 6 beta 4 is a receptor for several laminin isoforms, including laminin 1, 2, 4, and 5. Overexpression of the tail-less or head-less mutant beta 4 subunit did not suppress alpha 6 beta 4-mediated adhesion to laminins, as both types of transfectants adhered to these ligands in the presence of blocking anti-beta 1 antibodies as well as the controls. However, immunofluorescence experiments indicated that the endogenous alpha 6 beta 4 integrin and other hemidesmosomal markers were not concentrated in hemidesmosomes in cells overexpressing tail-less beta 4, while the distribution of these molecules was not altered in cells overexpressing the head-less subunit. Electron microscopic studies confirmed that cells overexpressing tail-less beta 4 had a drastically reduced number of hemidesmosomes, while cells expressing the head-less subunit had a normal number of these structures. Thus, expression of a tail-less, but not a head-less mutant beta 4 subunit leads to a dominant negative effect on hemidesmosome assembly without suppressing initial adhesion to laminins. We conclude that the alpha 6 beta 4 integrin binds to several laminins and plays an essential role in the assembly and/or stability of hemidesmosomes, that alpha 6 beta 4-mediated adhesion and hemidesmosome assembly have distinct requirements, and that it is possible to use a dominant negative approach to selectively interfere with a specific function of an integrin.

Abstract
Human fibroblasts stained with fluorescently labeled phalloidin revealed many stress fibers within the apical cytoplasm in addition to those located along the basal plasma membrane and associated with focal adhesions. The staining patterns of these apical stress fibers with fluorescent phalloidin, anti-alpha-actinin, and antimyosin were identical to those of the basal stress fibers, suggesting the same macromolecular organization for both types of stress fibers. There were two types of apical stress fibers that clearly interacted with the apical plasma membrane, those extending between the basal and the apical plasma membrane and those having both ends on the basal membrane forming arches whose top interacted with the apical plasma membrane. By electron microscopy, we observed that apical stress fibers were associated with the apical plasma membrane via electron-dense plaques reminiscent of the focal adhesion. Since several proteins have been specifically localized to the focal adhesion site, we examined whether they were also present at the apical stress fiber-membrane association site by using immunocytochemical methods and image reconstruction techniques. We found that vinculin, talin, paxillin, a fibronectin receptor protein, several integrin subunits including beta 1, fibronectin, and proteins with phosphorylated tyrosine were also components of the apical plaque. These observations indicate that apical stress fibers are attached to the plasma membrane by using principally the same molecular assembly as the focal adhesion associated with the basal stress fiber. We suggest that the complex molecular organization of the focal adhesion is not demanded by cell adhesion, but rather it is needed for anchoring stress fibers to the plasma membrane. Apical plaques did not stain with the anti-integrin alpha v subunit or anti-focal adhesion associated kinase (FAK), although these antibodies stained focal adhesions. These results suggest that the apical stress fiber-membrane contact has some important functions different from those of the focal adhesion.
