Abstract
Tipping the angiogenic balance between pro- and antiangiogenic stimuli to favor vasculature induction and enhanced angiogenesis is a key event in the growth and progression of tumors. Recently, we demonstrated that the genetic loss of normal physiological levels of individual endogenous inhibitors of angiogenesis leads to a change in the balance between proangiogenic stimulators and their inhibitors, thus favoring enhanced angiogensis and increased tumor growth. Therefore, these endogenous angiogenesis inhibitors provide a physiological threshold against the induction of angiogenesis. The antiangiogenic activities of endostatin, tumstatin, and thrombospondin-1 are evaluated and correlated with their three-dimensional structure and active sites, deriving a structural basis for their activities. Collectively, structural analysis of all three inhibitors demonstrates that the active antiangiogenic sites on these molecules are exposed on the surface and available to bind their putative integrin receptors on proliferating endothelial cells.

Abstract
Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, is required for physiological development of vertebrates and repair of damaged tissue, but in the pathological setting contributes to progression of cancer. During tumor growth, angiogenesis is supported by up-regulation of angiogenic stimulators (pro-angiogenic) and down-regulation of angiogenic inhibitors (anti-angiogenic). The switch to the angiogenic phenotype (angiogenic switch) allows the tumors to grow and facilitate metastasis. The bioactive NC1 domain of type IV collagen alpha3 chain, called tumstatin, imparts anti-tumor activity by inducing apoptosis of proliferating endothelial cells. Tumstatin binds to alphaVbeta3 integrin via a mechanism independent of the RGD-sequence recognition and inhibits cap-dependent protein synthesis in the proliferating endothelial cells. The physiological level of tumstatin is controlled by matrix metalloproteinase-9, which most effectively cleaves it from the basement membrane and its physiological concentration in the circulation keeps pathological angiogenesis and tumor growth in check. These findings suggest that tumstatin functions as an endogenous inhibitor of pathological angiogenesis and functions as a novel suppressor of proliferating endothelial cells and growth of tumors.

Abstract
The term "matrikines" was coined for designating peptides liberated by partial proteolysis of extracellular matrix macromolecules, which are able to regulate cell activities. Among these peptides, some of them may modulate proliferation, migration, protease production, or apoptosis. In this review, we summarize the activity of matrikines derived from elastin and interstitial or basement membrane collagens on the regulation of matrix metalloproteinases expression and/or activation, and on the plasminogen/plasmin system. Due to their activity, matrikines may play a significant role in physiological or pathological processes such as wound healing or tumor invasion.

Abstract
Our previous studies demonstrated that a synthetic peptide encompassing residues 185-203 of the noncollagenous (NC1) domain of the alpha3 chain of type IV collagen, named tumstatin, inhibits in vitro melanoma cell proliferation and migration. In the present study, B16F1 melanoma cells were stably transfected to overexpress the complete tumstatin domain (Tum 1-232) or its C-terminal part, encompassing residues 185-203 (Tum 183-232). Tumstatin domain overexpression inhibited B16F1 in vitro cell proliferation, anchorage-independent growth, and invasive properties. For studying the in vivo effect of overexpression, representative clones were subcutaneously injected into the left side of C57BL6 mice. In vivo tumor growth was decreased by -60% and -56%, respectively, with B16F1 cells overexpressing Tum 1-232 or Tum 183-232 compared to control cells. This inhibitory effect was associated with a decrease of in vivo cyclin D1 expression. We also demonstrated that the overexpression of Tum 1-232 or Tum 183-232 induced an in vivo down-regulation of proteolytic cascades involving matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), especially the production or activation of MMP-2, MMP-9, MMP-13, as well as MMP-14. The plasminogen activation system was also altered in tumors with a decrease of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) and tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and a strong increase of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1). Collectively, our results demonstrate that tumstatin or its C-terminal antitumor fragment, Tum 183-232, inhibits in vivo melanoma progression by triggering an intracellular transduction pathway, which involves a cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent mechanism.

Abstract
Malignant melanoma is the leading cause of death from diseases of the skin. This review summarizes the data from the literature and our laboratory addressing the effects of type IV collagen on melanoma progression. Many different sequences from type IV collagen promote melanoma cell adhesion, migration and invasion. The triple helical conformation of the collagenous domain plays a critical role in some of these interactions. However, recent studies from our group demonstrated that a sequence from the alpha3(IV) NC1 domain inhibits melanoma cell proliferation, migration and invasion by decreasing MMP production and activation. Peptide sequences from the alpha1(IV), alpha2(IV) and alpha3(IV) chains named arresten, canstatin and tumstatin, respectively were shown to inhibit angiogenesis. Further investigations regarding the inhibitory effects of the alpha(IV) NC1 domains will have a paramount relevance for the design of efficient strategies to limit melanoma development.

Abstract
Many biological processes such as cell differentiation, cell migration or gene expression are tightly controlled by cell-cell interactions or by various cytokines. During tumor progression, cancer cells are in contact with extracellular matrix (ECM) macromolecules involving specific receptors such as integrins. The different stages of tumor progression, and mainly the proteolytic cascades implicated in extracellular matrix degradation and cell migration, may be controlled by the extracellular matrix macromolecules or by domains released by directed and limited proteolysis of these molecules. In this review, we summarise the biological effects of various peptides, named matrikines, derived from basement membranes (BM) components, such as laminins (LN), proteoglycans or collagens. These peptides may control tumor progression by regulating the proteolytic cascades leading to cancer cell dissemination and metastasis.

Abstract
Tumor progression may be controlled by various fragments derived from noncollagenous 1 (NC1) C-terminal domains of type IV collagen. We demonstrated previously that a peptide sequence from the NC1 domain of the alpha3(IV) collagen chain inhibits the in vitro expression of matrix metalloproteinases in human melanoma cells through RGD-independent binding to alpha(v)beta(3) integrin. In the present paper, we demonstrate that in a mouse melanoma model, the NC1 alpha3(IV)-(185-203) peptide inhibits in vivo tumor growth in a conformation-dependent manner. The decrease of tumor growth is the result of an inhibition of cell proliferation and a decrease of cell invasive properties by down-regulation of proteolytic cascades, mainly matrix metalloproteinases and the plasminogen activation system. A shorter peptide comprising the seven N-terminal residues 185-191 (CNYYSNS) shares the same inhibitory profile. The three-dimensional structures of the CNYYSNS and NC1 alpha3(IV)-(185-203) peptides show a beta-turn at the YSNS (188-191) sequence level, which is crucial for biological activity. As well, the homologous MNYYSNS heptapeptide keeps the beta-turn and the inhibitory activity. In contrast, the DNYYSNS heptapeptide, which does not form the beta-turn at the YSNS level, is devoid of inhibitory activity. Structural studies indicate a strong structure-function relationship of the peptides and point to the YSNS turn as necessary for biological activity. These peptides could act as potent and specific antitumor antagonists of alpha(v)beta(3) integrin in melanoma progression.

Abstract
Previous studies from our group and the group of the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Rheims, France [corrected] have shown that basement membrane (BM) collagen from anterior lens capsule type IV collagen (ALC-COL IV) and peptides from the noncollagenous domain (NC1) of the alpha3(IV) [corrected] chain, corresponding to residues 185-203 and 179-208, inhibit tumor cell proliferation, specifically through the interaction of the -SNS- tripeptide (residues 189-191) with the CD47/alphavbeta3 integrin receptor complex. Data presented here demonstrate that the alpha3(IV)185-203 and the alpha3(IV)179-208 peptides, from here forward [corrected] designated as oncothanin, regulate endothelial cell (EC) proliferation, adhesion, and motility which [corrected] ultimately influence angiogenesis. The data also indicate that oncothanin, when used as a chemoattractant, greatly enhanced EC chemotaxis. In contrast, pretreatment of EC with oncothanin inhibited chemotaxis toward several different chemoattractants. When oncothanin was used as a substrate, it enhanced EC adhesion that was inhibited when pretreated with same. Analysis of angiogenesis by EC differentiation (tube formation), aortic ring microvessel formation [corrected] and the chorioallantoic membrane assay, [corrected] demonstrate that oncothanin, but not the control medium or peptides, inhibits angiogenesis. In the EC differentiation assay, oncothanin completely inhibited tube formation at 25 microg/ml, whereas peptides with comparable sequences, that lacked [corrected] the -SNS- sequence, from ALC-COL IV NC1 domains alpha1 and alpha2 chains failed to inhibit tube formation. The data support the hypothesis that ALC-COL IV and oncothanin inhibit angiogenesis by modulation of EC function.

Abstract
Collagens IV, XV and XVIII are major components of various basement membranes. In addition to the collagen-specific triple helix, these collagens are characterized by the presence of several non-collagenous domains. It is clear now that these ubiquitous collagen molecules are involved in more subtle and sophisticated functions than just the molecular architecture of basement membranes, particularly in the context of extracellular matrix degradation. Degradation of the basement membrane collagens occurs during numerous physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development or tumorigenesis and generates collagen fragments. These fragments are involved in the regulation of functions differing from those of their original intact molecules. The non-collagenous C-terminal fragment NC1 of collagen IV, XV and XVIII have been recently highlighted in the literature because of their potential in reducing angiogenesis and tumorigenesis, but it is clear that their biological functions are not limited to these processes. Proteolytic release of soluble NC1 fragments stimulates migration, proliferation, apoptosis or survival of different cell types and suppresses various morphogenetic events.

Abstract
Growth factor signaling, mediated by the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade, induces cell mitosis. Adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) may inhibit or stimulate mitosis (depending on the cell type) through the activation of MAPK and Raf proteins. Among Raf proteins, Raf-1 and B-Raf differentially regulate mitosis. Our aims were to evaluate the role and mechanisms of action of the alpha(2)-adrenergic agonist UK14,304 in the regulation of growth of the human cholangiocarcinoma cell line Mz-ChA-1. Immunocytochemistry and immunoblotting for alpha(2A)-, alpha(2B)-, or alpha(2C)-adrenergic receptor subtypes showed positive reaction in Mz-ChA-1 cells. We found that physiological concentrations of UK14,304 increased cAMP levels and inhibited proliferation and MAPK activity in Mz-ChA-1 cells. Mz-ChA-1 cells expressed Raf-1 and B-Raf. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) immediately and transiently stimulated Raf-1 activity, whereas B-Raf activity was increased with prolonged EGF stimulation. EGF-stimulated Raf-1 and B-Raf activities were both inhibited by UK14,304. UK14,304 did not affect Ras activity. In Mz-ChA-1 cells, alpha(2)-adrenoreceptor stimulation causes up-regulation of cAMP, which inhibits EGF-induced MAPK activity through an acute increase of Raf-1 and sustained activation of B-Raf. In conclusion, because alpha(2)-AR inhibition of growth occurred downstream of Ras, adrenergic stimulation or other stimulants of cAMP may overcome the Ras mutations and offer a new therapeutic approach for patients with cholangiocarcinoma.

Abstract
The expression of VEGF and the relapse-free survival rate of breast cancer patients are inversely related. While VEGF induces the proliferation and migration of vascular endothelial cells, its function in breast cancer cells is not well studied. We reported previously that fibronectin increased VEGF-dependent migration in breast cancer cells. Since VEGF has an extracellular matrix (ECM)-binding domain and possesses binding affinity for heparin, we sought to determine the effects of VEGF in breast cancer cells and the role of heparin and/or fibronectin in VEGF-induced signaling. Cells grown on plastic were compared to those grown on fibronectin or to those grown on plastic in the presence of heparin, and analysed for intracellular signaling, proliferation and migration in response to VEGF(165). Both heparin and fibronectin enhanced the binding of VEGF to T47D cells. After treatment with VEGF, [(3)H]thymidine incorporation, c-fos induction, and the number of migrating cells were significantly higher ( approximately twofold) in cells grown on fibronectin or in cells grown on plastic in the presence of heparin when compared to those grown on plastic only. Likewise, tyrosine phosphorylation of VEGF receptors, MAPK activity and PI3-kinase activity were all several-fold higher in cells seeded on fibronectin or in the presence of heparin as compared to cells exposed to VEGF alone. VEGF-dependent c-fos induction was found to be regulated through a MAPK-dependent, but PI3-kinase-independent pathway. In contrast, the migration of T47D cells in response to VEGF, in the presence of ECM, was regulated through PI3-kinase. Therefore, VEGF requires ECM components to induce a mitogenic response and cell migration in T47D breast cancer cells.

Abstract
We have recently identified integrin alpha(v)beta(3) and the associated CD47/integrin-associated protein (IAP) together with three other proteins as the potential tumor cell receptors for the alpha(3) chain of basement membrane type IV collagen (Shahan, T.A., Ziaie, Z., Pasco, S., Fawzi, A., Bellon, G., Monboisse, J. C., and Kefalides, N. A. (1999) Cancer Res. 59, 4584-4590). Using different cell lines expressing alpha(v)beta(3), alpha(IIb)beta(3), and/or CD47 and a liquid phase receptor capture assay, we now provide direct evidence that the synthetic and biologically active alpha3(IV)185-206 peptide, derived from the alpha3(IV) chain, interacts with the beta(3) subunit of integrin alpha(v)beta(3), independently of CD47. Increased alpha3(IV) peptide binding was observed on transforming growth factor-beta(1)-stimulated HT-144 cells shown to up-regulate alpha(v)beta(3) independently of CD47. Also, incubation of HT-144 melanoma cells in suspension induced de novo exposure of ligand-induced binding site epitopes on the beta(3) subunit similar to those observed following Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (RGDS) stimulation. However, RGDS did not prevent HT-144 cell attachment and spreading on the alpha3(IV) peptide, suggesting that the alpha3(IV) binding domain on the beta(3) subunit is distinct from the RGD recognition site. alpha3(IV) peptide binding to HT-144 cells in suspension stimulated time-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation, while the RGDS peptide did not. Two major phosphotyrosine proteins of 120-130 and 85 kDa were immunologically identified as focal adhesion kinase and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase). A direct involvement of PI3-kinase in alpha3(IV)-dependent beta(3) integrin signaling could be documented, since pretreatment of HT-144 cells with wortmannin, a PI3-kinase inhibitor, reverted the known inhibitory effect of alpha3(IV) on HT-144 cell proliferation as well as membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase gene expression. These results provide evidence that the alpha3(IV)185-206 peptide, by directly interacting with the beta(3) subunit of alpha(v)beta(3), activates a signaling cascade involving focal adhesion kinase and PI3-kinase.

Abstract
Previous reports from our laboratories showed that type IV collagen from anterior lens capsule (ALC) inhibited stimulated neutrophil function. This property was shown to reside in the region comprising residues 185-203 of the non-collagenous domain (NC1) of the alpha 3(IV) chain. We also reported that ALC-type IV collagen or the synthetic alpha 3(IV) 185-203 peptide, induced a rise in intracellular cAMP which persisted for up to 60 minutes. In the present work we extend our previous studies on signal transduction by alpha 3(IV) 185-203 and we provide new data showing the involvement of cAMP-dependent PKA and protein phosphatases. The data also show that the alpha 3(IV) peptide triggered a rise in intracellular calcium that was dependent on phospholipase C activation. Inhibitors of the Ca(2+)/calmodulin system suppressed both the alpha 3(IV) 185-203 peptide-induced cAMP increase and the inhibitory activity of the peptide on f-Met-Leu-Phe triggered O(2)(-) generation. When alpha 3(IV) 185-203 peptide-induced calcium mobilization was blocked by U-73122, an inhibitor of phospholipase C activation, or by BAPTA/AM, a chelator of intracellular calcium, the inhibitory effect of the peptide on PMA-triggered O(2)(-) production was also abolished. These findings provide evidence that signal transduction by the alpha 3(IV) peptide occurs via pathways which involve calcium. Indeed, the cAMP increase was shown to be mediated by adenosine and adenosine A2 receptors and required calcium elevation, since adenosine deaminase, theophilline, dimethylpropargylxanthine, trifluoperazine or autocamtide-2 related inhibitory peptide, suppressed the activity of the alpha 3(IV) peptide. The inhibitory effect of the peptide on f-Met-Leu-Phe-induced O(2)(-) generation was slightly affected by 1 microM KT5720 or H89, two inhibitors of cAMP-dependent PKA, but was completely suppressed by 10 nM calyculin A or 10 microM okadaic acid, two inhibitors of ser/thr phosphatases. These results suggest that Ser/Thr protein phosphatases and/or cAMP-dependent PKA are involved in signal transduction by the alpha 3(IV) 185-203 peptide and is consistent with the concept that adenosine receptor occupancy modulates neutrophil function.
