Article Abstract
The role of the epithelial adhesion ligand laminin 5 (LN5) in lung development has been poorly investigated. To determine its potential involvement in lung organogenesis, we used immunofluorescence microscopy to investigate the distribution of LN5 and its integrin (Int) receptors alpha2beta1, alpha3beta1, alpha6beta1, and alpha6beta4 during human fetal airway branching morphogenesis and respiratory epithelium differentiation. At the pseudoglandular and canalicular stages of airway development, LN5 and its constituent chains were localized in the basement membrane (BM) of the proximal respiratory tubules and in the cytoplasm of the epithelial cells forming the growing epithelial buds, which expressed Int alpha2beta1, alpha3beta1, and, transiently, alpha6beta1. At the alveolar and adult stages, LN5 and its constituent chains were localized both in the BM of evolving and differentiated bronchioles and in the alveolar parenchyma. The bronchiolar epithelium markedly expressed Int alpha2beta1 and alpha3beta1, whereas the alveolar parenchyma strongly expressed Int alpha2beta1, alpha3beta1, and alpha6beta1. Throughout fetal development and in the adult, LN5 and its constituent chains were detected both in the tracheal BM, regardless of the degree of epithelial differentiation, and in the cytoplasm of the cells at the invading front of the growing glandular ducts. Ultrastructural studies showed that nucleation of the hemidesmosomes (HDs) correlated with the differentiation of the tracheal epithelium. These results suggest that LN5 may play multiple roles during branching morphogenesis, by modulating proliferation and/or migration of the epithelial cells in the respiratory buds and by establishing branch points, through interaction initially with Int alpha6beta1 and later with Int alpha2beta1 and alpha3beta1. We also propose that LN5 may regulate the differentiation of the tracheal epithelium by means of Int-beta4, which governs HD nucleation.

The gut represents an important site of colonization of the commensal bacterium (group B Streptococcus or GBS), which can also behave as a deadly pathogen in neonates and adults. Invasion of the intestinal epithelial barrier is likely a crucial step in the pathogenesis of neonatal infections caused by GBS belonging to clonal complex 17 (CC17). We have previously shown that the prototypical CC17 BM110 strain invades polarized enterocyte-like cells through their lateral surfaces using an endocytic pathway.

Using a model of the human SK-Mel-147 melanoma cell line, it was shown that blocking the expression of integrin α3β1 by transduction of cells with α3-specific shRNA did not affect their proliferation, but sharply increased the proportion of SA-β-Gal-positive cells, a phenotypic feature of cell senescence. These findings were accompanied by a significant increase in the activity of the Akt and mTOR protein kinases and the expression of p53 and p21 oncosupressors. Pharmacological inhibition of mTORC1 reduced the number SA-β-Gal-positive cells in the SK-Mel-147 cell population depleted of α3β1.

Downregulation of integrins α3β1 and α5β1 strongly decreased cell colony formation and in vitro invasion and markedly enhanced anoikis in SK-Mel-147 human melanoma cells. These modifications were accompanied by a marked increase in the levels of active Akt protein kinase, which indicated it played a non-canonical function in the melanoma cells. Pharmacological inhibition of Akt1, an Akt isozyme, in cells depleted of α3β1 or α5β1 restored their invasive activity, while inhibition of the Akt 2 isoform did not cause a visible effect.

Cisplatin-induced peripheral neuropathic pain is a common adverse effect of chemotherapy. The present study evaluated the effects of 2'-chloro-6-methylflavone (2'-Cl-6MF) at recombinant α1β2γ2L, α2β1-3γ2L, and α3β1-3γ2L GABA-A receptor subtypes expressed in Xenopus oocytes and subsequently evaluated its effectiveness in cisplatin-induced neuropathic pain. The results showed that 2'-Cl-6MF potentiated GABA-elicited currents at α2β2/3γ2L and α3β2/3γ2L GABA-A receptor subtypes.

The creation of the 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group by the Carpino laboratory facilitated the synthesis of peptides containing acid-sensitive groups, such as -linked glycosides. To fully investigative collagen biochemistry, one needs to assemble peptides that possess glycosylated 5-hydroxylysine (Hyl). A convenient method for the synthesis of Fmoc-Hyl(ε--butyloxycarbonyl (Boc),--butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS)) and efficient methods for the synthesis of Fmoc-Hyl[ε-Boc,-(2,3,4,6-tetra--acetyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl)] have been developed.
