Characterization of dystroglycan binding in adhesion of human induced pluripotent stem cells to laminin-511 E8 fragment.

ABSTRACT: Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) grow indefinitely in culture and have the potential to regenerate various tissues. In the development of cell culture systems, a fragment of laminin-511 (LM511-E8) was found to improve the proliferation of stem cells. The adhesion of undifferentiated cells to LM511-E8 is mainly mediated through integrin ?6?1. However, the involvement of non-integrin receptors remains unknown in stem cell culture using LM511-E8. Here, we show that dystroglycan (DG) is strongly expressed in hiPSCs. The fully glycosylated DG is functionally active for laminin binding, and although it has been suggested that LM511-E8 lacks DG binding sites, the fragment does weakly bind to DG. We further identified the DG binding sequence in LM511-E8, using synthetic peptides, of which, hE8A5-20 (human laminin ?5 2688-2699: KTLPQLLAKLSI) derived from the laminin coiled-coil domain, exhibited DG binding affinity and cell adhesion activity. Deletion and mutation studies show that LLAKLSI is the active core sequence of hE8A5-20, and that, K2696 is a critical amino acid for DG binding. We further demonstrated that hiPSCs adhere to hE8A5-20-conjugated chitosan matrices. The amino acid sequence of DG binding peptides would be useful to design substrata for culture system of undifferentiated and differentiated stem cells.

In the development of cell culture systems, a fragment of laminin-511 (LM511-E8) was found to improve the proliferation of stem cells. The adhesion of undifferentiated cells to LM511-E8 is mainly mediated through integrin α6β1. However, the involvement of non-integrin receptors remains unknown in stem cell culture using LM511-E8.

Project description:Simple Summary Numerous studies over the past few decades have revealed that the interactions of gastric cancer cells with laminins through integrins play important roles in tumor cell proliferation, infiltration, and metastasis. However, the association between gastric cancer cells and the laminin E8 fragment, which is the smallest integrin-binding component, has not been investigated. In this study, we revealed that the laminin 511-E8 fragment had a greater impact on the adhesion, morphology, and proliferation of gastric cancer cells than full-length laminin 511. Thus, the laminin 511-E8 fragment is considered to be suitable for investigating the interaction between gastric cancer cells and extracellular matrices in tumor invasion and metastasis. Further, the involvement of Cdc42 in the laminin 511-E8 fragment-induced enhanced adhesion of gastric cancer cells was suggested. Abstract Background: The interaction between cancer cells and laminin (Ln) is a key event in tumor invasion and metastasis. Previously, we determined the effect of full-length Ln511 on gastric cancer cells. However, the interactions between the Ln511-E8 fragment, a truncated protein of Ln511, and gastric cancer cells have not been investigated. Methods: We investigated the adhesion properties of gastric cancer cells to full-length Ln511 and Ln511-E8 fragments. Results: The proliferation of four gastric cancer cell lines (SH-10-TC, MKN74, SC-6-JCK, and MKN45) was highest on the Ln511-E8 fragment. Further, a larger cytoplasm was observed in SH-10-TC and MKN74 cells cultured on full-length Ln511 or Ln511-E8 fragments. The percentage of adhesive cells was highest on the Ln511-E8 fragment in all four cell lines. Moreover, adhesion of the gastric cancer cells to Ln511-E8 fragment-coated plates was reduced by the Cdc42 GTPase inhibitor in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting the involvement of Cdc42 in the Ln511-E8 fragment-induced enhanced adhesion of gastric cancer cells. Conclusions: The Ln511-E8 fragment had a greater impact on the adhesion, morphology, and proliferation of gastric cancer cells than full-length laminin. Thus, the Ln511-E8 fragment is suitable for investigating the interaction between gastric cancer cells and extracellular matrices in tumor invasion and metastasis.

Project description:Background & aimsIgG4-related cholangitis (IRC) is the hepatobiliary manifestation of IgG4-related disease. Anti-laminin 511-E8 autoantibodies have been identified in its pancreatic manifestation. Laminin 511-E8 promotes endothelial barrier function, lymphocyte recruitment, and cholangiocyte differentiation. Here, we investigate anti-laminin 511-E8 autoantibody presence in IRC, and mechanisms via which laminin 511 may contribute to cholangiocyte protection.MethodsAnti-laminin 511-E8 serum autoantibody positivity was assessed by ELISA. RNA sequencing and RT-qPCR were performed on human H69 cholangiocytes treated with recombinant laminin 511-E8. H69 cholangiocytes were subjected to shRNA knockdown targeting genes encoding laminin 511 (LAMA5, LAMB1, LAMC1) or treated with recombinant laminin 511-E8. Cholangiocellular bile acid influx was quantified radiochemically using 22,23-3H-glycochenodeoxycholic acid (GCDC). GCDC-induced apoptosis was determined by Caspase-3/7 assays. Cholangiocellular barrier function was assessed by FITC-Dextran permeability assays. Immunofluorescent staining of laminin 511 and claudin 1 was performed on extrahepatic bile duct tissue of control and anti-laminin 511-E8 positive individuals with IRC.ResultsSeven out of 52 individuals with IRC had autoantibodies against laminin 511-E8. Recombinant laminin 511-E8 led to differential expression of genes involved in secretion, barrier function, and inflammation. Knockdown of laminin 511 constituents increased toxic bile acid permeation and GCDC-induced apoptosis. Laminin 511-E8 treatment decreased toxic bile acid permeation and dose-dependently alleviated GCDC-induced apoptosis. LAMA5 and LAMC1 knockdown increased transepithelial permeability. Laminin 511-E8 treatment reduced transepithelial permeability and prevented T lymphocyte-induced barrier dysfunction. Laminin 511 and claudin 1 staining patterns appeared altered in anti-laminin 511-E8 positive individuals with IRC.ConclusionsLaminin 511-E8 is an autoantigen in subsets of individuals with IRC. Laminin 511 enhances cholangiocellular barrier function and protects cholangiocytes against T lymphocyte-induced barrier dysfunction, toxic bile acid permeation and bile acid-induced apoptosis.Impact and implicationsA subset of patients with IgG4-related cholangitis (IRC) has autoantibodies against laminin 511-E8. In human cholangiocytes, laminin 511 protects against (T lymphocyte-induced) epithelial barrier dysfunction and hydrophobic bile acids. Laminin 511 and claudin 1 staining may be altered in extrahepatic bile ducts of patients with IRC who are anti-laminin 511-E8 positive. This makes it tempting to speculate that a decreased epithelial barrier function with attraction of immune cells and impaired bicarbonate secretion as a result of dysfunction of laminin 511 by autoantibody binding could potentially be a common systemic pathogenic mechanism in a subset of patients with IgG4-RD.

Project description:IntroductionKeratinocytes derived from pluripotent stem cells have a short proliferative lifespan under conventional culture conditions that are optimized for keratinocytes. Recently, a Rho kinase inhibitor, Y-27632, had been used as a standard supplement for culture medium in which the proliferative lifespan of postnatal keratinocytes was markedly expanded. In addition, recombinant human laminin-511 was demonstrated to be an adhesive ligand for promoting proliferation of cultured epidermal keratinocytes. Based on this knowledge, efficacies of Y-27632 and a laminin511-derived recombinant fragment, known as laminin-511 E8 fragment (LN-511-E8), were evaluated for establishing cultivation methods of keratinocyte differentiated from human embryonic stem cells (hESC).MethodsDifferentiated cells from hESCs, which were established with clinical grade in previous study, were seeded onto culture dishes coated with LN-511-E8 and co-cultured with a mouse feeder layer in serum-free medium supplemented with Y-27632. Before serial cultivation, hESC-derived keratinocytes were separated from other differentiated cells by trypsinization. The isolated hESC-derived keratinocytes were used for evaluating clonogenicity, gene expression analysis for keratinocyte markers, potency of terminal differentiation by air-lifting culture, and long-term proliferation activity by serial cultivation. Moreover, efficacies of Y-27632, LN-511-E8, and mouse feeder layer were evaluated on proliferation of hESC-derived keratinocytes.ResultshESC-derived keratinocytes with activity of clonal growth were successfully isolated by trypsinization and exhibited potency of differentiation to form stratified epidermal equivalents with expressions of progenitor and differentiation markers of epidermal keratinocyte. Y-27632 and LN-511-E8 were required for maintaining the proliferative activity of the hESC-derived keratinocytes in serially cultivation using mouse feeder layer with stable doubling time during logarithmic growth phase.ConclusionsThese results indicate the utility of Y-27632 and LN-511-E8 for serial cultivation of hESC-derived keratinocytes, which have a potential for fabricating allogeneic cellular products in clinical situations for regeneration of stratified epithelial tissues.
