Collagen XVII (COL17) participates in keratinocyte adhesion and possibly migration, as COL17 defects disrupt keratinocyte-basal lamina adhesion and underlie the disease non-Herlitz junctional epidermolysis bullosa. Using small interference RNA (siRNA) to knock down COL17 expression in HaCaT cells, we assessed cell characteristics, including adhesion, migration, and signaling. Control and siRNA-transfected keratinocytes showed no difference in adhesion on plastic dishes after incubation for 8 hours in serum-free keratinocyte-growth medium; however, when grown on collagen IV alone or BD matrigel (containing collagen IV and laminin isoforms), COL17-deficient cells showed significantly reduced adhesion compared with controls (P<0.01), and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/ERK kinase (MEK)1/2 and MAPK showed reduced phosphorylation. Furthermore, COL17-deficient HaCaT cells plated on plastic exhibited reduced motility that was p38MAPK-dependent (after addition of the p38MAPK inhibitor SB203580). Together, these results suggest that COL17 has significantly wider signaling roles than were previously thought, including the involvement of COL17 in keratinocyte adhesion to collagen IV, in p38MAPK-dependent cell migration, and multiple cell signaling events pertaining to MEK1/2 phosphorylation.
