beta ig-h3 is a TGF-induced extracellular matrix (ECM) protein. Our previous evidence suggests that beta ig-h3 may promote adhesion and invasion potential of human hepatoma cells, but the mechanism underlying this process is still unknown. The present study identifies a pivotal role for molecules of the beta ig-h3 signal transduction pathway. We demonstrated that beta ig-h3 co-immunoprecipitated with alpha 3 beta 1 integrin in human 7721 hepatoma cells. The addition of alpha 3 beta 1 integrin antibodies inhibited the elevated adhesion and migration in beta ig-h3-overexpressing 7721 cells, but not in beta ig-h3 siRNA transfected 7721 cells. The expression and activity of integrin downstream molecules FAK and paxillin show a positive correlation with beta ig-h3 expression in different human hepatoma cells. Levels of focal adhesions and stress fibers were decreased in beta ig-h3 siRNA transfected 7721 cells. We suggest that by interaction with alpha 3 beta 1 integrin, beta ig-h3 activates FAK-paxillin signaling linkage, leads to cytoskeleton reorganization, and thus enhances the metastatic potentials of human hepatoma cells.
