Urokinase-type Plasminogen Activator Receptor (CD87) Is a Ligand for Integrins and Mediates Cell-Cell Interaction

Abstract: Binding of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) to its receptor (uPAR/CD87) regulates cellular adhesion, migration, and tumor cell invasion. However, it is unclear how glycosyl phosphatidylinositol-anchored uPAR, which lacks a transmembrane structure, mediates signal transduction. It has been proposed that uPAR forms cis-interactions with integrins as an associated protein and thereby transduces proliferative or migratory signals to cells upon binding of uPA. We provide evidence that soluble uPAR (suPAR)… Show more

“…This is not surprising since interactions of uPAR with integrins have been observed in several cell types (Bohuslav et al, 1995;Wei et al, 1996;Yebra et al, 1996;Xue et al, 1997;May et al, 1998;Chavakis et al, 1998;Carriero et al, 1999;Simon et al, 2000). Direct interactions between uPAR and avb3 has also been reported (Tarui et al, 2000). Thus VN and pro-uPA chemotactic activity appear to be linked mechanistically already at the level of their receptors.…”

“…Direct interactions of uPAR with integrins has been shown by several techniques, including¯uorescence resonance energy transfer and co-immuno-precipitation (Bohuslav et al, 1995;Wei et al, 1996;Yebra et al, 1996;Xue et al, 1997;Carriero et al, 1999Simon et al, 2000. Speci®cally, association of uPAR with a v b 3 -expressing cells has also been reported (Tarui et al, 2000). Indeed, in leukocytes uPA regulates co-localization of b2-integrins and uPAR (Xue et al, 1997), in RSMC pro-uPA induces the co-localization of uPAR and a v b 3 to the ru es of the plasma membrane (Degryse et al, 1999), while in ®broblasts adhesion on VN induces colocalization of uPAR and a v b 3 (Ciambrone and McKeown-Longo, 1992).…”

“…On a molecular level, this suggests that the association of integrins with the uPA⅐uPAR complex (27,28,32,35) may serve to correctly position this complex in close proximity to the cryptic vitronectin RGD adhesion site that becomes accessible upon binding of uPA to PAI-1 and subsequent dissociation of the PAI-1⅐uPA complex from vitronectin (36). Thus, uPA/uPAR may serve to escort the integrin to the appropriate high affinity binding site within the matrix.…”

“…There is a close interplay between uPAR, integrins, vitronectin, and PAI-1 in regulating cell invasiveness. Multiple lines of evidence exist for association of uPAR with integrins to coordinate the effects of the two classes of receptors in mediating signaling and promoting cellular rearrangement and/or migration (57)(58)(59)(60)(61)(62)(63)(64)(65). This new information defining the relative location of binding sites for PAI-1 and the two receptors within the SMB domain will be invaluable for considering mechanisms by which these receptors and the ECM communicate in a reciprocal manner, ultimately with the goal of developing new antitumor and anti-thrombotic agents.…”
