Cellular Interaction of Integrin α3β1 with Laminin 5 Promotes Gap Junctional Communication

Abstract: Wounding of skin activates epidermal cell migration over exposed dermal collagen and fibronectin and over laminin 5 secreted into the provisional basement membrane. Gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) has been proposed to integrate the individual motile cells into a synchronized colony. We found that outgrowths of human keratinocytes in wounds or epibole cultures display parallel changes in the expression of laminin 5, integrin α3β1, E-cadherin, and the gap junctional protein connexin 43.

“…In addition, both syndecan-1 protein and mRNA levels are specifically and strongly induced in wound edge keratinocytes during wound healing (48 -51). This expression resembles that of unprocessed LN-5 deposited in the provisional basement membrane by leading keratinocytes during wound healing (6,25), reinforcing our results showing its interaction with syndecan-1.…”

“…In vivo, epidermal injury activates the transcription and deposition of LN-5 into the provisional matrix by the leading keratinocytes in the process of epidermal outgrowth and migration at the wound edge (24 -26). The LN-5 precursor is found in this provisional matrix but is absent from mature basement membranes (21,25). These data indicate that the presence of the LG4/5 domain in the ␣3 chain of LN-5 may influence cell behavior.…”

“…By contrast, several of the candidate proteins identified in the screen are more likely to regulate connexins through changes in cell signaling or differentiated state. For instance, although decorin B has not been shown to regulate intercellular communication, cross-talk between integrins, other extracellular matrix proteins, and connexins has previously been demonstrated (Isakson et al 2001;Kalra et al 2006;Lampe et al 1998). A similar case could be made for FRG1, which is associated with an autosomal dominant disease, facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (Gabellini et al 2006).…”

“…Quiescent epidermis adheres to laminin 5 in the BM via integrin ␣ 6 ␤ 4 in hemidesmosome (HD) cell junctions. Wounding epidermis generates leading and following subpopulations of keratinocytes at the wound margin (5). Leading keratinocytes migrate over exposed dermal collagen via integrin ␣ 2 ␤ 1 and fibronectin via integrin ␣ 5 ␤ 1 .…”
