title: Cell interactions with collagen matrices in vivo and in vitro depend on phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and free cytoplasmic calcium.
abstract: We have investigated the role of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) in cellular interactions with collagenous matrices. Platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) elicited a mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ in pig aortic endothelial (PAE) cells transfected with wild type PDGF beta-receptor. This response was greatly reduced in PAE cells transfected with PDGF beta-receptors mutated at positions Y740 and Y751 to prevent PI3-kinase binding. The experimental drug 1D-myo-inositol 1,2,6-trisphosphate (alpha-trinositol) induced a rapid increase and subsequent oscillations of the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration in cultured fibroblasts. This response was not due to an effect of alpha-trinositol on inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptors. alpha-Trinositol did not influence PDGF-BB elicited chemotaxis through collagen-coated membranes of PAE cells transfected with the wild-type PDGF beta-receptor, but restored PDGF-BB elicited chemotaxis of PAE cells transfected with the PI3-kinase binding-site mutated PDGF beta-receptor. Collagen gel contraction has been suggested to serve as a model for cellular control of interstitial fluid pressure (PIF) in dermis. The PI3-kinase inhibitors wortmannin (50 nM) and LY294002 (5 microM) inhibited the stimulation of fibroblast-mediated collagen gel contraction by 0.4 nM PDGF-BB. Injection of wortmannin in rat paw skin induced a lowering of PIF, and this effect was abolished in animals pre-treated with alpha-trinositol. Pretreatment of rats with alpha-trinositol abolished the decrease in PIF induced by injecting monoclonal anti-rat alpha 2 beta 1 integrin IgG in rat paw skin. Taken together our data indicate that cell-collagen interactions in vivo and in vitro depend on PI3-kinase, and that this dependence can be bypassed by a drug eliciting intracellular Ca2+ mobilization.
