Project description:Integrins are a major class of heterodimeric adhesion receptors composed of an a and b subunit that link the extracellular matrix (ECM) and the cytoskeleton across the cell membrane. When activated by either the intracellular (inside-out signaling) or extracellular (outside-in signaling) environment, integrins undergo a conformational change that increases the ligand binding affinity. As the primary receptor for ECM protein fibronectin, Integrin a5 plays a critical role in zebrafish somitogenesis. To better understand integrin activation in this context, we performed co-immunoprecipitation and Mass Spectrometry (MS) based proteomics using FLAG-tagged Integrin a5 alleles that alter it activation state: constitutive active mutant a5GAAKR and inactive ligand binding deficient mutant a5FYLDD, expressed in maternal zygotic a5 mutant (MZa5-/-) embryos. Our data provide an overview of Integrin associated proteins according to the activation state of the Integrin.

Project description:Integrins are a major class of heterodimeric adhesion receptors composed of an a and b subunit that mediate cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix (ECM). The extracellular matrix protein fibronectin is important for early vertebrate development, and Integrin a5b1 and aVb3 are the two primary fibronectin receptors. To better define the integrin – ECM protein network at 10-13 somite stage of zebrafish development, we performed co-immunoprecipitation and Mass Spectrometry (MS) based proteomics using FLAG-tagged Integrin a5, aV, and aVb3 expressed in maternal zygotic a5 mutant (MZa5-/-) embryos. We found that Integrin a5b1 and aVb1 are the functional fibronectin receptors, whereas Integrin aVb3 displayed low affinity to both fibronectins (Fn1a and Fn1b). In addition, basement membrane ligands Laminins (lama1, lamb1a, lamc1) are roughly equal in all three datasets while Thrombospondins (thbs3b, thbs4b) and cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (comp/thbs5) are found exclusively in the aV dataset. Our results suggest a diverse role of aV class integrins in ECM protein recruitment.

Project description:Feeders make necessary contributions to maintaining pluripotency and have been widely used for culturing embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Here, we showed p53 in feeders is required for ESC self-renewal. Following ablation of p53 in feeders, ESCs attenuated their pluripotent characteristics, with hyperactivation of ERK. We established that p53 in feeders transcriptionally actives MMP-2 or -9, thereby promoting degradation of fibronectin, preventing its interaction with integrins in ESCs and subsequent activation of integrin/FAK/ERK pathway. Based on these, we developed a new 2i or 1i system for ESC culture. Moreover, treatment of human pluripotent stem cells, or tissue stem cells with a fibronectin-integrin inhibitor strongly increased Sox2 and Oct4 levels. Our findings demonstrate a cross-cell function for p53 in regulating pluripotency, reveal a novel feeder-action mechanism beneficial for developing new stem cell culture conditions.

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains one of the deadliest malignancies, with limited treatment options and a high recurrence rate. Recurrence happens often with metastasis, for which cancer cells must adapt to isolation stress to successfully colonize distant organs. While the fibronectin-integrin axis has been implicated in this adaptation, its regulatory mechanisms require further elaboration. Here, we identify c-Rel as an oncogenic driver in PDAC, promoting epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plasticity, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, and resistance to isolation stress. c-Rel directly regulates fibronectin (Fn1) and CD61 (itgb3) transcription, enhancing cellular plasticity and survival under anchorage-independent conditions. Fibronectin is not essential for EMT, but its absence significantly impairs metastatic colonization. These findings establish c-Rel as a key regulator of PDAC metastasis by controlling cellular niche and survival under isolation stress. Overall, targeting the c-Rel–fibronectin–integrin axis could provide new therapeutic strategies to mitigate disease progression and recurrence.

Recurrence happens often with metastasis, for which cancer cells must adapt to isolation stress to successfully colonize distant organs. While the fibronectin-integrin axis has been implicated in this adaptation, its regulatory mechanisms require further elaboration. Here, we identify c-Rel as an oncogenic driver in PDAC, promoting epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plasticity, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, and resistance to isolation stress. Mechanistically, c-Rel directly regulates fibronectin (Fn1) and CD61 (itgb3) transcription, enhancing cellular plasticity and survival under anchorage-independent conditions. Fibronectin is not essential for EMT, but its absence significantly impairs metastatic colonization, highlighting a tumor-autonomous role for FN1 in isolation stress adaptation. These findings establish c-Rel as a key regulator of PDAC metastasis by controlling circulating tumor cell (CTC) niche and survival, suggesting that targeting the c-Rel–fibronectin–integrin axis could provide new therapeutic strategies to mitigate disease progression and recurrence.

Project description:Integrin α5β1 mediates cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix (ECM) by binding fibronectin (Fn). Selectivity for Fn by α5β1 is achieved through recognition of an RGD motif in the 10th type-III Fn domain (Fn10) and the synergy site in the 9th type-III Fn domain (Fn9). However, details of the interaction dynamics are unknown. Here, we compared synergy-site and Fn-truncation mutations for their α5β1-binding affinities and stabilities. We also interrogated binding of the α5β1 ectodomain headpiece fragment to Fn using hydrogen deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX MS) to probe binding sites and sites of integrin conformational change. Our results suggest the synergistic effect of Fn9 requires both specific residues and a folded domain. We found some residues considered important for synergy are required for stability. Additionally, we show decreases in fibronectin HDX are localized to a synergy peptide containing contacting residues in two β-strands, an intervening loop in Fn9, and the RGD-containing loop in Fn10, indicative of binding sites. We also identified binding sites in the α5-subunit β-propeller domain for the Fn9 synergy site and in the β1-subunit βI domain for Fn10 based on decreases in α5β1 HDX. Interestingly, the dominant effect of Fn binding was an increase in α5β1 deuterium exchange distributed over multiple sites that undergo changes in conformation or solvent accessibility and appear to be sites where energy is stored in the higher-energy, open-integrin conformation. Together, our results highlight regions important for α5β1 binding to Fn and dynamics associated with this interaction.
