Fibulin-5 binds urokinase-type plasminogen activator and mediates urokinase-stimulated ?1-integrin-dependent cell migration.

ABSTRACT: uPA (urokinase-type plasminogen activator) stimulates cell migration through multiple pathways, including formation of plasmin and extracellular metalloproteinases, and binding to the uPAR (uPA receptor; also known as CD87), integrins and LRP1 (low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1) which activate intracellular signalling pathways. In the present paper we report that uPA-mediated cell migration requires an interaction with fibulin-5. uPA stimulates migration of wild-type MEFs (mouse embryonic fibroblasts) (Fbln5+/+ MEFs), but has no effect on fibulin-5-deficient (Fbln5-/-) MEFs. Migration of MEFs in response to uPA requires an interaction of fibulin-5 with integrins, as MEFs expressing a mutant fibulin-5 incapable of binding integrins (Fbln(RGE/RGE) MEFs) do not migrate in response to uPA. Moreover, a blocking anti-(human ?1-integrin) antibody inhibited the migration of PASMCs (pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells) in response to uPA. Binding of uPA to fibulin-5 generates plasmin, which excises the integrin-binding N-terminal cbEGF (Ca2+-binding epidermal growth factor)-like domain, leading to loss of ?1-integrin binding. We suggest that uPA promotes cell migration by binding to fibulin-5, initiating its cleavage by plasmin, which leads to its dissociation from ?1-integrin and thereby unblocks the capacity of integrin to facilitate cell motility.

Project description:Data from clinical studies, cell culture, and animal models implicate the urokinase (uPA)/Plasminogen (Plg) system in the development of atherosclerosis and aneurysms. However, the mechanisms through which uPA/Plg stimulate these diseases are not yet defined. We used genetically modified, atherosclerosis-prone mice, including mice with macrophage-specific uPA overexpression to clarify mechanisms of uPA/Plg-accelerated atherosclerosis and aneurysm formation. Microarray studies were performed to identify potential mediators of uPA-accelerated atherosclerosis. These studies identified S100A8 and S100A9 mRNA as the most highly upregulated transcripts in uPA-overexpressing macrophages; upregulation of S100A9 protein in uPA-overexpressing macrophages was confirmed by Western blotting. S100A8/A9, which are atherogenic in mice and are expressed in human atherosclerotic plaques, are also upregulated in aortae of mice with uPA-overexpressing macrophages, and macrophage S100A9 mRNA is upregulated by exposure of wild-type macrophages to medium from uPA-overexpressing macrophages. Bioinformatics analysis of the microarray data suggest significant effects of uPA overexpression on cell migration and cell-matrix interactions. Our results confirm—in a second animal model—that macrophage-expressed uPA stimulates atherosclerosis and aortic dilation. They also implicate specific pathways in uPA/Plg-accelerated atherosclerosis and aneurysmal disease. Six independent biological replicate RNA samples were prepared from thioglycollate-elicited peritoneal macrophages from mice of two different genotypes: SR-uPA+/0 transgenic (overexpress uPA in macrophages) and nontransgenic, respectively), for a total of 12 independent RNA samples. Both transgenic and nontransgenic mice were Apoe-/- and were fed Western diet from 5-15 weeks before peritoneal macrophages were elicited. In addition, from the six samples of each genotype, a pooled sample was prepared by combining the six genotype-specific samples. Each of the two pooled samples was assayed on the BeadChip in two technical replicates, for a total of 16 hybridizations performed using two Illumina Mouse Ref-8 v1.1 chips.
