The collagen-binding integrins alpha1beta1 and alpha2beta1 have profoundly different functions, yet they are often co-expressed in epithelial cells. When both integrins are expressed in the same cell, it has been suggested that alpha1beta1 negatively regulates integrin alpha2beta1-dependent functions. In this study we utilized murine ureteric bud (UB) epithelial cells, which express no functionally detectable levels of endogenous integrins alpha1beta1 and alpha2beta1, to determine the mechanism whereby this regulation occurs. We demonstrate that UB cells expressing integrin alpha2beta1, but not alpha1beta1 adhere, migrate and proliferate on collagen I as well as form cellular cords in 3D collagen I gels. Substitution of the transmembrane domain of the integrin alpha2 subunit with that of alpha1 results in decreased cell adhesion, migration and cord formation. In contrast, substitution of the integrin alpha2 cytoplasmic tail with that of alpha1, decreases cell migration and cord formation, but increases proliferation. When integrin alpha1 and alpha2 subunits are co-expressed in UB cells, the alpha1 subunit negatively regulates integrin alpha2beta1-dependent cord formation, adhesion and migration and this inhibition requires expression of both alpha1 and alpha2 tails. Thus, we provide evidence that the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of the alpha2 integrin subunit, as well as the alpha1 integrin subunit, regulate integrin alpha2beta1 cell function.

D004847 Epithelial Cells Cells that line the inner and outer surfaces of the body by forming cellular layers (EPITHELIUM) or masses. Epithelial cells lining the SKIN; the MOUTH; the NOSE; and the ANAL CANAL derive from ectoderm; those lining the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM and the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM derive from endoderm; others (CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM and LYMPHATIC SYSTEM) derive from mesoderm. Epithelial cells can be classified mainly by cell shape and function into squamous, glandular and transitional epithelial cells.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.

D038982 Integrin alpha2beta1 An integrin found on fibroblasts, platelets, endothelial and epithelial cells, and lymphocytes where it functions as a receptor for COLLAGEN and LAMININ. Although originally referred to as the collagen receptor, it is one of several receptors for collagen. Ligand binding to integrin alpha2beta1 triggers a cascade of intracellular signaling, including activation of p38 MAP kinase.

D039222 Integrin alpha1beta1 Integrin alpha1beta1 functions as a receptor for LAMININ and COLLAGEN. It is widely expressed during development, but in the adult is the predominant laminin receptor (RECEPTORS, LAMININ) in mature SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS, where it is important for maintenance of the differentiated phenotype of these cells. Integrin alpha1beta1 is also found in LYMPHOCYTES and microvascular endothelial cells, and may play a role in angiogenesis. In SCHWANN CELLS and neural crest cells, it is involved in cell migration. Integrin alpha1beta1 is also known as VLA-1 and CD49a-CD29. CD49a-CD29,Integrin alpha(1)beta(1),VLA-1,alpha1beta1 Integrin,Integrin, alpha1beta1,alpha1beta1, Integrin
