Abstract

Extracellular matrix (ECM) binding to integrin receptors regulates cell cycle progression and survival. In adherent cells, ECM disassembly induces anoikis, the apoptotic pathway switched on by loss of adhesion. ECM-deficient Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) fibroblasts, to adhere to rare fibronectin (FN) fibrils, and to proliferate, only organize, as FN receptor, the alphavbeta3 integrin. We report that in EDS cells the alphavbeta3 integrin is bound to talin and vinculin, but not to tensin, and that actin cytoskeleton is disorganized. Furthermore, in EDS cells Bcl-2 is down-regulated and caspases are active. We provide evidence that the antibody-mediated alphavbeta3 integrin or the FN inhibition induces anoikis in EDS cells. The alphavbeta3 integrin transduces survival signals to pp60src-mediated tyrosine phosphorylated paxillin, instead than to FAK, and interacts with EGF receptor (EGFR). This complex, when activated by EGF and FN, signals for the rescue of EDS cells from anoikis. Therefore, EDS cells, through the alphavbeta3 integrin-EGFR complexes, engage a paxillin- but not FAK-mediated pathway of cell survival.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
