Abstract
Most cells express several integrins. The integrins are able to respond to various cellular functions and needs by modifying their own activation state, but in addition by their ability to regulate each other by activation or inhibition. This crosstalk or transdominant regulation is strictly controlled. The mechanisms resulting in integrin crosstalk are incompletely understood, but they often involve intracellular signalling routes also used by other cell surface receptors. Several studies show that the integrin cytoplasmic tails bind to a number of cytoskeletal and adaptor molecules in a regulated manner. Recent work has shown that phosphorylations of integrins and key intracellular molecules are of pivotal importance in integrin-cytoplasmic interactions, and these in turn affect integrin activity and crosstalk. The integrin β-chains play a central role in regulating crosstalk. In addition to Integrin-integrin crosstalk, crosstalk may also occur between integrins and related receptors, including other adhesion receptors, growth factor and SARS-CoV-2 receptors.

Abstract
Cell adhesion is essential for the formation of organs, cellular migration, and interaction with target cells and the extracellular matrix. Integrins are large protein α/β-chain heterodimers and form a major family of cell adhesion molecules. Recent research has dramatically increased our knowledge of how integrin phosphorylations regulate integrin activity. Phosphorylations determine the signaling complexes formed on the cytoplasmic tails, regulating downstream signaling. α-Chain phosphorylation is necessary for inducing β-chain phosphorylation in LFA-1, and the crosstalk from one integrin to another activating or inactivating its function is in part mediated by phosphorylation of β-chains. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and possible integrin coreceptors may crosstalk and induce a phosphorylation switch and autophagy.

Abstract
Control of integrin activity is vital during development and tissue homeostasis, while derailment of integrin function contributes to pathophysiological processes. Phosphorylation of a conserved threonine motif (T788/T789) in the integrin β cytoplasmic domain increases integrin activity. Here, we report that T788/T789 functions as a phospho-switch, which determines the association with either talin and kindlin-2, the major integrin activators, or filaminA, an integrin activity suppressor. A genetic screen identifies the phosphatase PPM1F as the critical enzyme, which selectively and directly dephosphorylates the T788/T789 motif. PPM1F-deficient cell lines show constitutive integrin phosphorylation, exaggerated talin binding, increased integrin activity, and enhanced cell adhesion. These gain-of-function phenotypes are reverted by reexpression of active PPM1F, but not a phosphatase-dead mutant. Disruption of the ppm1f gene in mice results in early embryonic death at day E10.5. Together, PPM1F controls the T788/T789 phospho-switch in the integrin β1 cytoplasmic tail and constitutes a novel target to modulate integrin activity.

Abstract
The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), a key member of the immunoglobulin-like CAM family, was reported to regulate the migration of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). However, the detailed cellular behaviors including lamellipodia formation in the initial step of directional migration remain largely unknown. In the present study, we reported that NCAM affects the lamellipodia formation of BMSCs. Using BMSCs from Ncam knockout mice we found that Ncam deficiency significantly impaired the migration and the directional lamellipodia formation of BMSCs. Further studies revealed that Ncam knockout decreased the activity of cofilin, an actin-cleaving protein, which was involved in directional protrusions. To explore the molecular mechanisms involved, we examined protein tyrosine phosphorylation levels in Ncam knockout BMSCs by phosphotyrosine peptide array analyses, and found that the tyrosine phosphorylation level of β1 integrin, a protein upstream of cofilin, was greatly upregulated in Ncam-deficient BMSCs. Notably, by blocking the function of β1 integrin with RGD peptide or ROCK inhibitor, the cofilin activity and directional lamellipodia formation of Ncam knockout BMSCs could be rescued. Finally, we found that the effect of NCAM on tyrosine phosphorylation of β1 integrin was independent of the fibroblast growth factor receptor. These results indicated that NCAM regulates directional lamellipodia formation of BMSCs through β1 integrin signal-mediated cofilin activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phosphatase of regenerating liver-3 (PRL-3) plays a causative role in tumor metastasis, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. In our previous study, we observed that PRL-3 could decrease tyrosine phosphorylation of integrin beta1 and enhance activation of ERK1/2 in HEK293 cells. Herein we aim to explore the association of PRL-3 with integrin beta1 signaling and its functional implications in motility, invasion, and metastasis of colon cancer cell LoVo. METHODS Transwell chamber assay and nude mouse model were used to study motility and invasion, and metastsis of LoVo colon cancer cells, respectively. Knockdown of integrin beta1 by siRNA or lentivirus were detected with Western blot and RT-PCR. The effect of PRL-3 on integrin beta1, ERK1/2, and MMPs that mediate motility, invasion, and metastasis were measured by Western blot, immunofluorencence, co-immunoprecipitation and zymographic assays. RESULTS We demonstrated that PRL-3 associated with integrin beta1 and its expression was positively correlated with ERK1/2 phosphorylation in colon cancer tissues. Depletion of integrin beta1 with siRNA, not only abrogated the activation of ERK1/2 stimulated by PRL-3, but also abolished PRL-3-induced motility and invasion of LoVo cells in vitro. Similarly, inhibition of ERK1/2 phosphorylation with U0126 or MMP activity with GM6001 also impaired PRL-3-induced invasion. In addition, PRL-3 promoted gelatinolytic activity of MMP2, and this stimulation correlated with decreased TIMP2 expression. Moreover, PRL-3-stimulated lung metastasis of LoVo cells in a nude mouse model was inhibited when integrin beta1 expression was interfered with shRNA. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that PRL-3's roles in motility, invasion, and metastasis in colon cancer are critically controlled by the integrin beta1-ERK1/2-MMP2 signaling.

Abstract
High expression of 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1) has been detected in various invasive cancers. In the current study, we investigated its role in cancer cell migration and experimental metastasis. Down-regulation of PDK1 expression by small interference RNA markedly inhibited spontaneous migration and epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced chemotaxis of human breast cancer cells. The defects were rescued by expressing wild-type PDK1. PDK1-depleted cells showed impaired EGF-induced actin polymerization and adhesion, probably due to a decrease in phosphorylation of LIM kinase/cofilin and integrin beta1. Confocal microscopy revealed that EGF induced cotranslocation of PDK1 with Akt and protein kinase Czeta (PKCzeta), regulators of LIM kinase, and integrin beta1. Furthermore, PDK1 depletion dampened EGF-induced phosphorylation and translocation of Akt and PKCzeta, suggesting that Akt and PKCzeta functioned downstream of PDK1 in the chemotactic signaling pathway. In severe combined immunodeficiency mice, PDK1-depleted human breast cancer cells formed more slowly growing tumors and were defective in extravasation to mouse lungs after i.v. injection. Our results indicate that PDK1 plays an important role in regulating the malignant behavior of breast cancer cells, including their motility, through activation of Akt and PKCzeta. Thus, PDK1, which increases its expression in cancer cells, can be used as a target for the development of novel therapies.

Abstract
Transient elevations in Ca2+ have previously been shown to promote focal adhesion disassembly and cell motility through an unknown mechanism. In this study, evidence is provided to show that CaMK-II, a Ca2+/calmodulin dependent protein kinase, influences fibroblast adhesion and motility. TIRF microscopy reveals a dynamic population of CaMK-II at the cell surface in migrating cells. Inhibition of CaMK-II with two mechanistically distinct, membrane permeant inhibitors (KN-93 and myr-AIP) freezes lamellipodial dynamics, accelerates spreading on fibronectin, enlarges paxillin-containing focal adhesions and blocks cell motility. In contrast, constitutively active CaMK-II is not found at the cell surface, reduces cell attachment, eliminates paxillin from focal adhesions and decreases the phospho-tyrosine levels of both FAK and paxillin; all of these events can be reversed with myr-AIP. Thus, both CaMK-II inhibition and constitutive activation block cell motility through over-stabilization or destabilization of focal adhesions, respectively. Coupled with the existence of transient Ca2+ elevations and a dynamic CaMK-II population, these findings provide the first direct evidence that CaMK-II enables cell motility by transiently and locally stimulating tyrosine dephosphorylation of focal adhesion proteins to promote focal adhesion turnover.

Abstract
Metastasis is the major cause of mortality in lung cancer. Chemotaxis plays a vital role in cancer cell metastasis. In the current study, we reported that epidermal growth factor (EGF) induced a robust chemotaxis of A549 and H1299 cells, two representative human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. Chelerythrine chloride, an inhibitor of all protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes, significantly reduced the chemotactic capacity of NSCLC cells while inhibitors of classical or novel PKC isozymes, such as Gö6976, calphostin C, or Gö6850, showed no effect, which suggested that atypical PKC might be involved in the chemotactic process of NSCLC cells. EGF-elicited translocation and phosphorylation of atypical PKCzeta, indicating that EGF could activate PKCzeta. Treatment with a PKCzeta specific inhibitor, a myristoylated pseudosubstrate, blocked the chemotaxis in a dose-dependent manner, further confirming that atypical PKCzeta was required for NSCLC chemotaxis. Mechanistic studies suggested that PKCzeta was regulated by phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K)/Akt. Furthermore, PKCzeta-mediated chemotaxis by regulating actin polymerization and cell adhesion. Taken together, our study suggested that PKCzeta was required in NSCLC cell chemotaxis, thus could be used as a target to develop anti-lung cancer metastasis therapies.

Abstract
Protein expression profiles in rat bladder smooth muscle were compared between animal models of streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus (STZ-DM) and age-matched controls at 1 week and 2 months after induction of hyperglycemia with STZ treatment. At each time point, protein samples from four STZ-DM and four age-matched control rat bladder tissues were prepared independently and analyzed together across multiple DIGE gels using a pooled internal standard sample to quantify expression changes with statistical confidence. A total of 100 spots were determined to be significantly changing among the four experimental groups. A subsequent mass spectrometry analysis of the 100 spots identified a total of 56 unique proteins. Of the proteins identified by two-dimensional DIGE/MS, 10 exhibited significant changes 1 week after STZ-induced hyperglycemia, whereas the rest showed differential expression after 2 months. A network analysis of these proteins using MetaCore suggested induction of transcriptional factors that are too low to be detected by two-dimensional DIGE and identified an enriched cluster of down-regulated proteins that are involved in cell adhesion, cell shape control, and motility, including vinculin, intermediate filaments, Ppp2r1a, and extracellular matrix proteins. The proteins that were up-regulated include proteins involved in muscle contraction (e.g. Mrlcb and Ly-GDI), in glycolysis (e.g. alpha-enolase and Taldo1), in mRNA processing (e.g. heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A2/B1), in inflammatory response (e.g. S100A9, Annexin 1, and apoA-I), and in chromosome segregation and migration (e.g. Tuba1 and Vil2). Our results suggest that the development of diabetes-related complications in this model involves the down-regulation of structural and extracellular matrix proteins in smooth muscle that are essential for normal muscle contraction and relaxation but also induces proteins that are associated with cell proliferation and inflammation that may account for some of the functional deficits known to occur in diabetic complications of bladder.

Abstract
In this review the authors discuss the expression and activation of a family of protein kinases known as the calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinases (CaM-kinase) and the role that these kinases have in the activation of antiapoptotic signalling pathways. In addition, the authors outline a novel mechanism of activation of these kinases by oxidative stress. Founded on this novel mechanism of activation and the role that these kinases have in activating antiapoptotic signalling pathways, the authors propose that the CaM-kinases would make very good targets for sensitising cancer cells to certain therapeutic treatments. Furthermore, the authors discuss the role that these kinases have in cell transformation and in the regulation of the cell cycle. Based on these roles the authors suggest that inhibition of the CaM-kinases not only has the potential to sensitise cancer cells, but also has the potential to induce cytostasis in these cells.

Abstract
Maintenance of beta1 integrin-mediated cell adhesion in quiescent human mammary epithelial (HME) cells requires protein phosphatase (PP) 2A for not only dephosphorylation of beta1 integrin but also recruitment of IQGAP1 to Rac-bound beta1 integrin. However, how PP2A-dependent regulatory machinery of cell adhesion responds to EGF remains to be elucidated. We report here that phosphorylated Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) at threonine 286 was involved in the beta1 integrin complex that consisted of PP2A, Rac, and IQGAP1 in quiescent HME cells. Stimulation of the cells with EGF concomitantly induced an increase in intracellular Ca2+, activation of CaMKII, and dissociation of PP2A-IQGAP1-CaMKII from beta1 integrin-Rac. Because the activation of CaMKII and dissociation of PP2A-IQGAP1-CaMKII were blocked by either Ca2+-chelator or CaMKII inhibitor, we therefore propose that EGF has the ability to abrogate the PP2A function in the maintenance of beta1 integrin-mediated cell adhesion by dissociation of PP2A-IQGAP1-CaMKII from beta1 integrin-Rac through activation of CaMKII.

Abstract
A microinstillation technique of inhalation exposure was utilized to assess lung injury following chemical warfare nerve agent VX [methylphosphonothioic acid S-(2-[bis(1-methylethyl)amino]ethyl) O-ethyl ester] exposure in guinea pigs. Animals were anesthetized using Telazol-meditomidine, gently intubated, and VX was aerosolized using a microcatheter placed 2 cm above the bifurcation of the trachea. Different doses (50.4 microg/m3, 70.4 micro g/m(m3), 90.4 microg/m(m3)) of VX were administered at 40 pulses/min for 5 min. Dosing of VX was calculated by the volume of aerosol produced per 200 pulses and diluting the agent accordingly. Although the survival rate of animals exposed to different doses of VX was similar to the controls, nearly a 20% weight reduction was observed in exposed animals. After 24 h of recovery, the animals were euthanized and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed with oxygen free saline. BAL was centrifuged and separated into BAL fluid (BALF) and BAL cells (BALC) and analyzed for indication of lung injury. The edema by dry/wet weight ratio of the accessory lobe increased 11% in VX-treated animals. BAL cell number was increased in VX-treated animals compared to controls, independent of dosage. Trypan blue viability assay indicated an increase in BAL cell death in 70.4 microg/m(m3) and 90.4 microg/m(m3) VX-exposed animals. Differential cell counting of BALC indicated a decrease in macrophage/monocytes in VX-exposed animals. The total amount of BAL protein increased gradually with the exposed dose of VX and was highest in animals exposed to 90.4 microg/m(m3), indicating that this dose of VX caused lung injury that persisted at 24 h. In addition, histopathology results also suggest that inhalation exposure to VX induces acute lung injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress results in macrophage reprogramming through the formation of focal adhesion-like complexes on lipid rafts. Although the cellular mechanisms responsible for this reprogramming remain unknown, oxidative stress is known to result in a transient increase in intracellular calcium. This transient flux is thought to occur through the membrane dissociation of the calcium-bound protein annexin VI. The purpose of this study is to clarify the source of the calcium, and determine if it is responsible for the formation of focal adhesion-like complexes during oxidative stress through the activation of calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II (CaMK II). METHODS THP-1 cells were stimulated with hydrogen peroxide. Selected cells were pretreated with methyl beta-cyclodextrin (MbetaCD), a cholesterol-depleting agent; 1,2-bis aminophenoxy ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid, an intracellular calcium chelator; or autocamtide 2-related inhibitory peptide, a CaMK II inhibitor. Intracellular calcium flux was determined by a Fluo-3 technique. Lipid raft and cellular protein were extracted and analyzed for active CaMK II, annexin VI, and components of focal adhesion-like complexes. RESULTS Hydrogen peroxide exposure led to mobilization of annexin VI from lipid rafts to the cytosol, which was followed by an increase in cytosolic calcium, phosphorylation of CaMK II, and formation of focal adhesion-like complexes. Cholesterol depletion from lipid rafts attenuated all of these effects. 1,2-bis Aminophenoxy ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid and autocamtide 2-related inhibitory peptide pretreatment attenuated CaMK II phopshorylation and formation of focal ahdesionlike complexes. CONCLUSIONS Macrophage reprogramming during oxidative stress occurs through the cytosolic mobilization of annexin VI from lipid rafts. As a result, bound calcium dissociates, resulting in the activation of CaMK II and the formation of focal adhesion-like complexes.

Abstract
Serine/threonine protein phosphatase (PP) 2A is thought to dephosphorylate phosphorylated beta1 integrin to link with actin filaments (F-actin). However, whether PP2A participates in the regulation of F-actin assembly to which beta1 integrin is anchored is unclear. We report here that the core enzyme of PP2A (PP2A-AC), consisting of the regulatory subunit A (PP2A-A) and the catalytic subunit C (PP2A-C), forms a complex with beta1 integrin, a small GTPase Rac, and its effector IQGAP1 in non-malignant human mammary epithelial (HME) cells. Treatment of HME cells with okadaic acid (OA), an inhibitor of PP2A, caused cell rounding, reduction in F-actin assembly that links with beta1 integrin, and dissociation of IQGAP1-bound PP2A-AC from Rac-beta1 integrin. The dissociation of IQGAP1-PP2A-AC was accompanied by loss of F-actin gelating activity of Rac-beta1 integrin. In breast cancer MCF-7 cells, which possess PP2A-C but lack PP2A-A, IQGAP1 was not associated with Rac-beta1 integrin but with PP2A-C, with no distinct F-actin assembly that linked to Rac-beta1 integrin even before treatment with OA. We therefore propose that PP2A, especially PP2A-A, functions to maintain F-actin assembly to which beta1 integrin is anchored by recruitment of IQGAP1 to Rac-beta1 integrin.

Abstract
Assembly of F-actin that links with beta1-integrin during the G1 phase of cell cycle is released from beta1-integrin and disrupted at mitosis. However, it remains unclear how F-actin assembly to which beta1-integrin anchors is cell cycle-dependently regulated. We show that beta1-integrin was co-immunoprecipitated and co-localized with a small GTPase Rac and its effector IQGAP1, along with PP2A-AC, in HME cells during G1. When the cells were accumulated to G2/M, the co-immunoprecipitation or co-localization of IQGAP1 and PP2A-AC with beta1-integrin was lost, leaving Rac bound to beta1-integrin. The dissociated IQGAP1 was co-immunoprecipitated with the concomitantly dissociated PP2A-A and -C, indicating the complex formation among the proteins in G2/M cells. Falling ball viscometric assays revealed that only IQGAP1-bound beta1-integrin-Rac in G1 cells exhibited an enhanced F-actin cross-linking activity. The results suggest that the mitotic loss of F-actin assembly to which beta1-integrin anchors is due to PP2A-mediated dissociation of IQGAP1 from Rac-bound beta1-integrin.

Abstract
Cell shape and adhesion of cultured mammalian cells change dramatically during mitosis, however, how cell cycle-dependent alterations in cell adhesion are regulated remain to be elucidated. We show here that normal human mammary epithelial (HME) cells which became less adhesive and adopted the rounded morphology during the G(2)/M phase of the cell cycle significantly reduced their dependence on beta1 integrin-mediated adhesion to laminin, by using function blocking antibody to beta1 integrin. In G(2)/M cells, both total and cell surface expressions of beta1 integrin were comparable with those in G(1) cells but it was phosphorylated at threonines 788-789 within its cytoplasmic domain and coimmunoprecipitated Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMK) II. The threonine phosphorylated beta1 integrin significantly reduced its intracellular linkage with actin, with no significant reduction in the actin expression. In contrast, beta1 integrin in G(1) cells was not threonine phosphorylated but formed a link with actin and coimmunoprecipitated the core enzyme of the serine/threonine protein phosphatase (PP) 2A. The results suggest that reduced beta1 integrin-mediated cell adhesion of HME cells to the substratum during mitosis may be induced by beta1 integrin phosphorylation at threonines 788-789 and its reduced ability to link with the actin cytoskeleton.

Abstract
Regulation of integrin affinity and clustering plays a key role in the control of cell adhesion and migration. The protein ICAP-1 alpha (integrin cytoplasmic domain-associated protein-1 alpha) binds to the cytoplasmic domain of the beta(1A) integrin and controls cell spreading on fibronectin. Here, we demonstrate that, despite its ability to interact with beta(1A) integrin, ICAP-1 alpha is not recruited in focal adhesions, whereas it is colocalized with the integrin at the ruffling edges of the cells. ICAP-1 alpha induced a rapid disruption of focal adhesions, which may result from the ability of ICAP-1 alpha to inhibit the association of beta(1A) integrin with talin, which is crucial for the assembly of these structures. ICAP-1 alpha-mediated dispersion of beta(1A) integrins is not observed with beta(1D) integrins that do not bind ICAP. This strongly suggests that ICAP-1 alpha action depends on a direct interaction between ICAP-1 alpha and the cytoplasmic domain of the beta(1) chains. Altogether, these results suggest that ICAP-1 alpha plays a key role in cell adhesion by acting as a negative regulator of beta(1) integrin avidity.
