چکیده

Integrin binding by Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-containing peptides has been shown to alter vascular tone in a variety of blood vessels and has been implicated as a mechanism of vasoregulation during tissue injury. However, the effect of these peptides in the coronary circulation has not been examined. Thus the purpose of our study was to test the hypothesis that integrins act as receptors linked to the regulation of coronary vasomotor function. In particular, the ability of RGD-containing peptides to influence vascular tone by interacting with the alpha(v)beta(3)- and alpha(5)beta(1)-integrins was studied in isolated pig coronary arterioles. All vessels developed basal tone and dilated in a concentration-dependent manner to soluble peptides cyclic GPenGRGDSPCA (cyclic RGD), an alpha(v)beta(3)-cyclic-binding peptide (XJ735), DMP7677, an alpha(5)beta(1)-binding peptide, and to protease-generated (neutrophil elastase) fragments of denatured collagen type I (a major RGD-containing extracellular matrix protein). The vasodilations to cyclic RGD, XJ735, and collagen fragments were almost completely blocked by endothelial removal or by the cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin. In contrast, after endothelial removal and incubation with indomethacin, coronary arterioles showed concentration-dependent constriction to the alpha(5)beta(1)-integrin ligand DMP7677 but not to cyclic RGD or XJ735. Collectively, our results indicate that activation of endothelial alpha(v)beta(3)- and alpha(5)beta(1)-integrins mediates coronary arteriolar dilation via the endothelial production of cyclooxygenase-derived prostaglandins. These data support a role for integrins in the regulation of coronary vascular tone that may be particularly important during myocardial injury.

Selection of Peptides Binding to the a 5 pl Integrin from Phage Display Library

The asp1 integrin binds fibronectin through the integrin recognition sequence Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD). We have used a 6-amino acid peptide library expressed on filamentous phage to identify peptide ligands for asp1. We found that this integrin selectively binds RGD-containing peptides from the library. Of the 32 different sequences obtained, 28 had the RGD motif, 3 contained sequences related to RGD,...

Effect of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 on integrin signalling and the induction of apoptosis in human breast cancer cells.

Interaction of epithelial cells with the extracellular matrix is mediated through integrin receptors, which transmit signals regulating cell growth, differentiation and death. Occupation of these receptors, via Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) recognition sequences, leads to activation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK). We treated human breast cancer cell lines with RGD-containing peptides, which can disrupt int...

The alphavbeta5 integrin of hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic cells is a transduction receptor of RGD-4C fiber-modified adenoviruses.

Epithelial and endothelial cells expressing the primary Coxsackie virus B adenovirus (Ad) receptor (CAR) and integrin coreceptors are natural targets of human Ad infections. The fiber knob of species A, C, D, E and F Ad serotypes binds CAR by mimicking the CAR-homodimer interface, and the penton base containing arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD) motifs binds with low affinity to alphav integrins ...

Immobilized Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptides of varying lengths as structural probes of the platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor.

The interactions between ligands containing the recognition sequence arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) and integrin receptors are important in many cell-cell and cell-protein interactions. The platelet contains five integrin receptors and they contribute significantly to platelet adhesion and aggregation. To investigate the RGD binding domains on platelet integrins, we immobilized a series o...

Mouse sperm-egg plasma membrane interactions: analysis of roles of egg integrins and the mouse sperm homologue of PH-30 (fertilin) beta.

The guinea pig sperm protein, PH-30 (also known as fertilin), is postulated to participate in the interaction between the sperm and egg plasma membranes. The beta subunit of guinea pig PH-30 (gpPH-30 beta) contains a domain with homology to disintegrins, snake venom proteins that bind to integrins via an integrin-binding domain containing the tripeptide RGD. This raises the question of whether ...
