Ionizing radiation induces up-regulation of functional β 1-integrin in human lung tumour cell lines in vitro

Abstract: Ionizing radiation strongly induced the expression of functional beta1-integrin and ILK in the two lung cancer cell lines, A549 and SKMES1, dependent on different matrices used. Additionally, the subcellular localization of both proteins was altered by irradiation, and the individual cellular radiosensitivity was reduced in the presence of an extracellular matrix. On the one hand, this may result in aggravated therapeutic approaches and on the other hand, cells could adhere more strongly in their environment b… Show more

“…For instance, x-ray irradiation increases expression of functional integrins β1 and β3 in glioma cell lines in a dose-dependent manner [8]. In lung adenocarcinoma A549 and SKMES1 cells, x-ray irradiation also induces expression of functional integrin β1 [9]. Furthermore, a signal through the cytoplasmic domains of integrin β1 contributes to cell survival after irradiation [10].…”

“…In accordance with previously reported observations on cell adhesion-mediated radioresistance of exponentially growing A549 cells, confluently growing A549 cells showed a significantly improved survival after irradiation on FN compared to cells irradiated on polystyrene or BSA. 10,13 Although overall survival was reduced by PMA treatment, FN was able to strongly mediate a radioprotective effect in PMAtreated cells. The PMA concentration used in these experiments was not toxic but had sensitizing effects in both confluently growing as well as log-phase cell cultures.…”

“…Activation of the integrin pathway contributes to tumor radioresistance, and downstream focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling have been linked to decreased radiation responsiveness in various malignant tumors, including head and neck cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and glioblastoma (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17). In human lung cancer cells, the upregulation of functional integrin b1 induced by ionizing radiation represents a prerequisite for metastasis (18). FAK knockdown enhanced the radiosensitivity of HNSCC cells, and the downstream molecules of FAK, including paxillin, Akt1, and ERK1/2, were substantially dephosphorylated under FAK depletion (19).…”
