Growth factor-induced cell migration and proliferation are essential for
epithelial wound repair. Cell migration during wound repair also depends upon
expression of laminin-5, a ligand for
6ß4 integrin. We
investigated the role of
6ß4 integrin in laminin-5-dependent
keratinocyte migration by re-expressing normal or attachment-defective ß4
integrin in ß4 integrin null keratinocytes. We found that expression of
ß4 integrin in either a ligand bound or ligand unbound state was
necessary and sufficient for EGF-induced cell migration. In a ligand bound
state, ß4 integrin supported EGF-induced cell migration though sustained
activation of Rac1. In the absence of
6ß4 integrin ligation, Rac1
activation became tempered and EGF chemotaxis proceeded through an alternate
mechanism that depended upon
3ß1 integrin and was characterized by
cell scattering.
3ß1 integrin also relocalated from cell-cell
contacts to sites of basal clustering where it displayed increased
conformational activation. The aberrant distribution and activation of
3ß1 integrin in attachment-defective ß4 cells could be
reversed by the activation of Rac1. Conversely, in WT ß4 cells the normal
cell-cell localization of
3ß1 integrin became aberrant after the
inhibition of Rac1. These studies indicate that the extracellular domain of
ß4 integrin, through its ability to bind ligand, functions to integrate
the divergent effects of growth factors on the cytoskeleton and adhesion
receptors so that coordinated keratinocyte migration can be achieved.
