Summary

Laminin contact triggers sustained calcium (Ca2+) signaling in T-lymphocytes via alpha6beta1-integrin. This involves calcium release and entry, mediated by src kinases and second messengers like InsP3 and cADPR.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Cell Biology
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a crucial role in regulating cell behavior.
  • Integrins are key mediators of cell-ECM interactions.
  • Calcium signaling is fundamental to T-lymphocyte activation and function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the signaling pathways initiated by T-lymphocyte contact with laminin, an ECM protein.
  • To elucidate the role of alpha6beta1-integrin in mediating calcium (Ca2+) signaling.
  • To identify the intracellular components involved in this signaling cascade.

Main Methods:

  • Jurkat T-lymphocytes were cultured and stimulated with laminin.
  • Calcium mobilization was measured using fluorescent indicators.

  • Pharmacological inhibitors targeting specific signaling molecules (e.g., src kinase inhibitor PP2, PLC inhibitor U73122, cADPR antagonist 7-deaza-8-Br-cADPR) were employed.
  • Thapsigargin was used to assess calcium stores.

    • Main Results:

    • Laminin engagement with Jurkat T-lymphocytes induced long-lasting alpha6beta1-integrin-mediated Ca2+ signaling.
    • This signaling involved Ca2+ release from thapsigargin-sensitive stores and capacitative Ca2+ entry through SKF 96365-sensitive channels.
    • Inhibition studies revealed the involvement of src tyrosine kinases, phospholipase C (PLC), D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3), and cyclic adenosine diphosphoribose (cADPR).

    Conclusions:

    • Alpha6beta1-integrin-mediated interaction with laminin triggers a complex intracellular calcium signaling pathway in T-lymphocytes.
    • Src tyrosine kinases, InsP3, and cADPR are critical components of this signaling cascade.
    • Understanding this pathway provides insights into T-lymphocyte activation and adhesion processes.
