title: Expression of a dystrophin-sarcoglycan complex in serum-deprived BC3H1 cells and involvement of alpha-sarcoglycan in substrate attachment.
abstract: Dystrophin and alpha- and gamma-sarcoglycans were newly expressed in BC3H1 cells during differentiation induced by serum withdrawal. These proteins formed a tight complex with other dystophin-associated proteins (DAPs), as detected by immunoprecipitation with anti-dystrophin antibody. Integrins beta 1 and beta 3, vinculin, and focal adhesion kinase were also detected in the same immunoprecipitate. In a cell adhesion assay, differentiated BC3H1 cells attached more efficiently to type I collagen-coated dishes than nondifferentiated cells and loss of alpha-sarcoglycan induced by antisense ODN in differentiated cells resulted in significant inhibition of cell adhesion. Thus dystrophin and DAPs, at least partly, form a complex with the focal adhesion proteins in differentiated BC3H1 cells and alpha-sarcoglycan seems to modulate the function of the focal adhesion complex in these cells.
