ABSTRACTIntegrated analyses of regulated effector genes, cellular processes, and extrinsic signals are required to understand how transcriptional networks coordinate fate specification and cell behavior during embryogenesis. Migratory pairs of cardiac progenitors in the tunicate Ciona provide the simplest model of collective migration in chordate embryos. Ciona cardiopharyngeal progenitors (aka trunk ventral cells, TVCs) polarize as leader and trailer cells, and migrate between the ventral epidermis and trunk endoderm, which influences collective polarity. Using functional perturbations and quantitative analyses, we show that the TVC-specific and collagen-binding Discoidin-domain receptor (Ddr) cooperates with Integrin-β1 to promote cell-matrix adhesion to the epidermis. We found that endoderm cells secrete a collagen, Col9-a1, that is deposited in the basal epidermal matrix and activates Ddr at the ventral membrane of migrating TVCs. A functional antagonism between Ddr/Intβ1-mediated cell-matrix adhesion and Vegfr signaling appears to modulate the position of cardiopharyngeal progenitors between the endoderm and epidermis. Finally, we show that Ddr activity promotes leader-trailer-polarized BMP-Smad signaling independently of its role in cell-matrix adhesion. We propose that dual functions of Ddr act downstream of cardiopharyngeal-specific transcriptional inputs to coordinate subcellular processes underlying collective polarity and directed migration.

Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a β-galactoside-binding protein that influences various cell functions, including cell adhesion. We focused on the role of Gal-3 as an extracellular ligand mediating cell-matrix adhesion. We used human adipose tissue-derived stem cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells that are promising for vascular tissue engineering. We found that these cells naturally contained Gal-3 on their surface and inside the cells. Moreover, they were able to associate with exogenous Gal-3 added to the culture medium. This association was reduced with a β-galactoside LacdiNAc (GalNAcβ1,4GlcNAc), a selective ligand of Gal-3, which binds to the carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) in the Gal-3 molecule. This ligand was also able to detach Gal-3 newly associated with cells but not Gal-3 naturally present on cells. In addition, Gal-3 preadsorbed on plastic surfaces acted as an adhesion ligand for both cell types, and the cell adhesion was resistant to blocking with LacdiNAc. This result suggests that the adhesion was mediated by a binding site different from the CRD. The blocking of integrin adhesion receptors on cells with specific antibodies revealed that the cell adhesion to the preadsorbed Gal-3 was mediated, at least partially, by β1 and αV integrins—namely α5β1, αVβ3, and αVβ1 integrins.

AbstractCell-matrix adhesion regulates membrane trafficking to control anchorage-dependent signaling. While a dynamic Golgi complex can contribute to this pathway, its control by adhesion remains untested. We find the loss of adhesion rapidly disorganizes the Golgi in mouse and human fibroblast cells, its integrity restored rapidly on re-adhesion to fibronectin (but not poly-l-lysine coated beads) along the microtubule network. Adhesion regulates the trans-Golgi more prominently than the cis /cis-medial Golgi, though they show no fallback into the ER making this reorganization distinct from known Golgi fragmentation. This is controlled by an adhesion-dependent drop and recovery of Arf1 activation, mediated through the Arf1 GEF BIG1/2 over GBF1. Constitutively active Arf1 disrupts this regulation and prevents Golgi disorganization in non-adherent cells. Adhesion regulates active Arf1 binding to the microtubule minus-end motor protein dynein to control Golgi reorganization, which ciliobrevin blocks. This regulation by adhesion controls Golgi function, promoting cell surface glycosylation on the loss of adhesion that constitutively active Arf1 blocks. This study hence identifies cell-matrix adhesion to be a novel regulator of Arf1 activation, controlling Golgi organization and function in anchorage-dependent cells.Summary StatementThis study identifies a role for cell-matrix adhesion in regulating organelle (Golgi) architecture and function which could have implications for multiple cellular pathways and function.
