title: Keratinocyte motility induced by TGF-beta1 is accompanied by dramatic changes in cellular interactions with laminin 5.
abstract: Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) has the ability to induce epithelial cell migration while stopping proliferation. In this study, we show that, concomitant to promoting migration of normal human keratinocytes in vitro, TGF-beta1 induced a marked decrease in their adhesion capacity to processed alpha3-containing laminin 5-coated surfaces. Indeed, the expression levels of alpha3 and alpha6 integrin subunit mRNA and protein, as well as the cell surface alpha3beta1 and alpha6beta4 integrins, were down-regulated. Recent studies showed that keratinocytes over express and deposit laminin 5 during migration and we have shown that laminin 5 found in the matrix of TGF-beta1 induced migrating keratinocytes is present in its unprocessed form [Décline and Rousselle, 2001: J. Cell Sci. 114:811-823]. We show here that TGF-beta1 treatment of the cells promoted a significant increase in their adhesion to the alpha3 chain carboxy-terminal LG4/5 subdomain and that this interaction is likely to be mediated by a heparan sulfate proteoglycan type of receptor. Our results indicate that alpha6beta4 and alpha3beta1 integrin interactions with laminin 5 are diminished during migration while a specific interaction occurs between an additional cellular receptor and the alpha3 LG4/5 module present on unprocessed laminin 5.
