ABSTRACT
We have shown previously that the vasoactive peptide bradykinin (BK) stimulates proliferation of a cultured murine cell model of the inner medullary collecting duct (mIMCD-3 cells) via transactivation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) by a mechanism that involves matrix metalloproteinases (collagenase-2 and -3). Because collagenases lack an integral membrane domain, we hypothesized that receptors for extracellular matrix proteins, integrins, may play a role in BK-induced signaling by targeting collagenases to the membrane, thus forming a functional signaling complex. BK-induced phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) in mIMCD-3 cells was reduced by approximately 65% by synthetic peptides containing an Arg-Gly-Asp sequence, supporting roles for integrins in BK-induced signaling. Neutralizing antibody against alpha5beta1 integrin partially (approximately 60%) blocked BK-induced ERK activation but did not affect EGF-induced ERK activation. Silencing of alpha5 and beta1 expression by transfecting cells with small interfering RNAs (siRNA) significantly decreased BK-induced ERK activation (approximately 80%) and EGFR phosphorylation (approximately 50%). This effect was even more pronounced in cells that were cotransfected with siRNAs directed against both collagenases and alpha5beta1 integrin. On the basis of our results, we suggested that integrin alpha5beta1 is involved in BK-induced signaling in mIMCD-3 cells. Using immunoprecipitation/Western blotting, we demonstrated association of BK B(2) receptor with alpha5beta1 integrin upon BK treatment. Furthermore, BK induced association of alpha5beta1 integrin with EGFR. These data provide the first evidence that specific integrins are involved in BK B(2) receptor-induced signaling in kidney cells, and ultimately might lead to development of new strategies for treatment of renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis.
