Research Abstract

The purpose of this project is to determine the mechanism of mast cell adhesion to fibronectin. Mastocytoma P-815 cells were cultured on a plate pre-coated with or without fibronectin in 5%-FCS containing Fisher medium, and incubated with PGE2 for various times at 37℃ in 5% C02-incubator. Obtained results are shown below ;
1.P-815 cells were adhered to fibronectin in response to 10^<-8> M-10^<-6> M PGE2. The adherence activity of PGE2 was appeared through its binding to EP4 receptors expressed on P-815 cells, followed by a stimulated cAMP formation and cAMP-dependent protein kinase A activity. These responses were not demonstrated up to 4-5 hrs after PGE2 addition, indicating involvement of newly formed unknown proteins, which have been searching thereafter.
2.After initiation of PGE2-induced P-815 cell adhesion to fibronectin, being inhibited by PKA inhibitor H-89, adhered P-815 cells did not leak out by H89 treatment. However, PGE2-adhered P-815 cells were easily detached by a decrease of increasing intracellular Ca2+ level by treatment with EGTA,BAPTA/AM, and SKF96365, a Ca2+ channel ROCC inhibitor. Really, adhered P-815 cells were found to consist of high intracellular Ca2+ level.
3.PGE2-activated P-815 cell adhesion to fibronectin were mostly suppressed by incubation with CaM kinase inhibitor.
4.CAMP/PKA-independent signals were extensively searched for, and as a result have determined involvement of Epac signal (exchange protein directly activated by cAMP) as important candidatet molecules.
From these results, we have presented that PGE2-activated P-815 cell adhesion might be comprised of two signals, first during binding initiation phase cAMP/PKA dependent reactions involved in while during late binding maintenance phase Epac reactions did. These results are surely important to resolve mast cell adhesion ability to extra-cellular matrix like ibronectin in local inflammatory tissues.
