Integrins are heterodimeric adhesion receptors essential for adhesion of non-adherent cells to extracellular ligands such as extracellular matrix components. The affinity of integrins for ligands is regulated through a process termed integrin activation and de novo synthesis. Integrin activation is regulated by lipid raft components and the actin structure. However, there is little information on the relationship between integrin activation and its de novo synthesis. Cancerous mouse mast cells, mastocytoma P-815 cells (P-815 cells) are known to bind to fibronectin through de novo synthesis of integrin subtypes by prostaglandin (PG) E-2 stimulation. The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between lipid raft components and the actin cytoskeleton, and PGE(2)-induced P-815 cells adhesion to fibronectin and the increase in surface expression and mRNA and protein levels of av beta 3 and aIIb beta 3 integrins. Cholesterol inhibitor 6-0-alpha-maltosy1-beta cyclodextrin, glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins inhibitor phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C and actin inhibitor cytochalasin D inhibited PGE2-induced cell adhesion to fibronectin, but did not regulate the surface expression and mRNA and protein levels of alpha v and alpha IIb, and beta 3 integrin subunits. In addition, inhibitor of integrin modulate protein CD47 had no effect on PGE(2)- and 8-Br-cAMP-induced cell adhesion. These results suggest that lipid raft components and the actin cytoskeleton are directly involved in increasing of adhesion activity of integrin alpha IIb, av and beta 3 subunits to fibronectin but not in stimulating of de nova synthesis of them in PGE(2)-stimulated P-815 cells. The modulation of lipid rafts and the actin structure is essential for P-815 cells adhesion to fibronectin. (c) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
