title: [TGF-beta 1 rapidly reduced hepatocarcinoma cells adhesion on to fibronectin and stimulated FAK dephosphorylation].
abstract: In order to investigate whether TGF-beta 1 could rapidly regulate integrin induced signaling, we treated SMMC-7721 human hepatocellular carcinoma cells with human recombinant TGF-beta 1 for 10 min, and examined cell adhesion, integrin amount and FAK tyrosine phosphorylation. We used cell adhesion assay to estimate the affinity of alpha 5 beta 1 integrin with fibronectin, and analyzed the amount of integrin alpha 5 and beta 1 subunits by performing FACS analysis. Then western blot analysis was carried out to examine tyrosine phosphorylation level of FAK. Our results showed that TGF-beta 1 could rapidly attenuated cell adhesion onto Fn without changing the expression of alpha 5 beta 1 integrin, and at the meantime dephosphorylated FAK. It suggested that TGF-beta 1 rapidly regulated the activation of integrin, and stimulated FAK dephosphorylation, which might induce depolarization in SMMC-7721 hepatocellular carcinoma cells, then facilitates the detachment of tumor cells at early stages of migration.
