ABSTRACT
We have investigated the effects of various fatty acids (FAs) on integrin-mediated MDA-MB-435 breast carcinoma cell adhesion to type IV collagen (collagen IV) in vitro. Arachidonic acid (AA) and linoleic acid both induced a dose-dependent increase in cell adhesion to collagen IV with no significant increase in nonspecific adhesion to polylysine and BSA. Oleic acid (a monounsaturated FA), AA methyl ester, and linoelaidic acid (a trans-isomer of linoleic acid) failed to stimulate adhesion to collagen IV, suggesting that these effects required cis-polyunsaturation and a free carboxylic moiety and that they were not due to membrane perturbations. Calphostin C, a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, blocked cis-polyunsaturated FA (cis-PUFA)-induced cell adhesion in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting a role for a calcium-dependent PKC in this signal transduction pathway. Immunoblotting revealed that cis-PUFAs induced the translocation of PKCepsilon and PKCmu, two of the novel PKC isozymes, from the cytosol to the membrane. In contrast, a conventional PKC isozyme, PKCalpha, as well as the atypical isozymes, PKCzeta and PKCiota, did not translocate after cis-PUFA treatment. Function-blocking antibodies specific for alpha1, alpha2, and beta1, integrin subunits inhibited cell adhesion to collagen IV, whereas antibodies to alpha3 and alpha5 did not. No increase in the expression of these integrins on the cell surface was detected after the incubation of cells with cis-PUFAs, suggesting that there is an increase in the activity, but not in the amount, of these beta1, integrins. Altogether, these data suggest that cis-PUFAs enhance human breast cancer cell adhesion to collagen IV by selectively activating specific PKC isozymes, which leads to the activation of beta1 integrins.
