1-Adrenergic Receptor Signaling Pathways: Secreted Factors and Interactions with the Extracellular Matrix
1-adrenergic receptor (
1-ARs) subtypes (
1A,
1B and
1D) regulate multiple signal pathways such as PLC, PKC, and MAPKs. We employed oligonucleotide microarray technology to explore the effects of both short (1h) and long-term (18h) activation of the
1A-AR to enable RNA changes to occur downstream of earlier well-characterized signaling pathways, promoting novel couplings. PCR studies confirmed that PKC was a critical regulator of
1A-AR mediated gene expression with secreted IL-6 also contributing to gene expression alterations. We next focused on two novel pathways that may be mediated through
1A-AR stimulation, due to the clustering of gene expression changes for cell adhesion/motility (syndecan-4 and tenascin-C) and hyaluronan (HA) signaling. We confirmed that
1-ARs induced adhesion in three cell types to vitronectin, an interaction that was also integrin, FGF7, and PKC-dependent.
1-AR activation also inhibited cell migration, which was integrin and PKC-independent but still required secretion of FGF7.
1-AR activation also increased the expression and deposition of HA, a glycosaminoglycan, which displayed two distinct structures: pericellular coats and long cable structures, as well as increasing expression of the HA receptor, CD44. Since long cable structures of HA can bind leukocytes, this suggests that
1-ARs may be involved in pro-
inflammatory responses. Our results indicate
1-ARs signal to induce the secretion of factors that interact with the extracellular matrix to regulate cell adhesion, motility and pro-inflammatory responses through novel signaling pathways.
