The integrin
3ß1 mediates cellular adhesion to the matrix ligand laminin-5. A second integrin ligand, the urokinase receptor (uPAR), associates with
3ß1 via a surface loop within the
3 ß-propeller (residues 242246) but outside the laminin binding region, suggesting that uPARintegrin interactions could signal differently from matrix engagement. To explore this,
3-/- epithelial cells were reconstituted with wild-type (wt)
3 or
3 with Ala mutations within the uPAR-interacting loop (H245A or R244A). Wt or mutant-bearing cells showed comparable expression and adhesion to laminin-5. Cells expressing wt
3 and uPAR dissociated in culture, with increased Src activity, up-regulation of SLUG, and down-regulation of E-cadherin and
-catenin. Src kinase inhibition or expression of Src 1251 restored the epithelial phenotype. The H245A and R244A mutants were unaffected by coexpression of uPAR. We conclude that
3ß1 regulates both cellcell contact and matrix adhesion, but through distinct protein interaction sites within its ß-propeller. These studies reveal an integrin- and Src-dependent pathway for SLUG expression and mesenchymal transition.
