Abstract

Human granulosa cells express integrin alpha2 and collagen type IV: possible involvement of collagen type IV in granulosa cell luteinization.

Molecular human reproduction, 1999; PubMed, Homo sapiens COL4A2 — Homo sapiens ITGB1
ABSTRACT: Previously, it has been shown that integrin alpha6beta1 expressed on human granulosa cells regulates luteinization in co-operation with its ligand, laminin. In this study, integrin alpha2 was immunohistochemically demonstrated to be expressed on granulosa and large luteal cells. It was also detected on luteinizing theca interna cells after ovulation. Immunoreactive collagen type IV, which is one of the ligands for integrin alpha2beta1, was detected around granulosa cells in the pre-ovulatory follicles and its expression was rapidly increased during ovulation. By flow cytometry, collagen type IV was detected on the cell surface of luteinizing granulosa cells isolated from pre-ovulatory follicles, confirming the physiological interaction between granulosa cells and collagen type IV. Collagen type IV in follicular fluid was positively related with progesterone concentration. In 4-day cultures of granulosa cells, collagen type IV in the media was significantly increased by human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG). The progesterone production was significantly attenuated when granulosa cells were cultured on collagen type IV-coated dishes, suggesting that collagen type IV suppresses granulosa cell luteinization. These findings show that collagen type IV, a ligand for integrin alpha2beta1, is rapidly produced around luteinizing granulosa cells during ovulation, probably under the control of luteinizing hormone (LH) and suggest that collagen type IV is a new parameter and/or regulator of granulosa cell luteinization in the periovulatory phases.

A cell-free electrochemiluminescence assay for measuring beta1-integrin-ligand interactions.

Analytical biochemistry, 2002; PubMed, Homo sapiens COL4A2 — Homo sapiens ITGB1
ABSTRACT: We have developed a cell-free assay for binding of solubilized beta1 integrins to their physiologically relevant ligands using an electrochemiluminescent detection method. The method utilizes ruthenium-conjugated monoclonal antibodies for detection of either purified integrins or, more conveniently, integrin-expressing cell lysates, which are captured on beads coated with extracellular matrix or vascular ligand proteins. For the interaction of alpha1beta1 integrin with collagen IV, a signal of 10-fold over background was generated with samples containing only 10 ng (0.05 pmol) of integrin. This interaction is cation-dependent and can be inhibited by blocking antibodies to the alpha1 subunit. The method was extended to studies of ligand binding by integrins alpha2beta1, alpha4beta1, alpha5beta1, and alpha6beta1. For each integrin-ligand pair, the specificity of the interaction was verified with neutralizing antibodies against the specific integrin. The specific binding signal correlated with the activating ability of the labeled antibody used for detection, although the ability of divalent cations (Mn2+, Mg2+, Ca2+) to support integrin-ligand binding varied dramatically among the various integrin-ligand pairs. The assay provides a simple method for investigating integrin-ligand interactions without avidity and/or signaling effects which can complicate conventional cell-based assay methods.
