Abstract

Involvement of the [uPAR:uPA:PAI-1:LRP] complex in human myogenic cell motility.

Experimental cell research, 2000; PubMed, Homo sapiens PLAUR — Homo sapiens LRP1
ABSTRACT: The urokinase-type plasminogen activator system is a proteolytic system involved in tissue remodeling and cell migration. At the cell surface, receptor (uPAR)-bound urokinase (uPA) binds its inhibitor PAI-1, localized in the matrix, and the complex is internalized by endocytic receptors, such as the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP). We previously proposed a nonproteolytic role for the uPA system in human myogenic cell differentiation in vitro, i.e., cell fusion, and showed that myogenic cells can use PAI-1 as an adhesion matrix molecule. The aim of this study was to define the role of the uPA system in myogenic cell migration that is necessary for fusion. Using a two-dimensional motility assay and microcinematography, we showed that any interference with the [uPAR:uPA:PAI-1] complex formation, and interference with LRP binding to this complex, markedly decreased myogenic cell motility. This phenomenon was reversible and independent of plasmin activity. Inhibition of cell motility was associated with suppression of both filopodia and membrane ruffling activity. [uPAR:uPA:PAI-1:LRP] complex formation involves high-affinity molecular interactions and results in quick internalization of the complex. It is likely that this complex supports the membrane ruffling activity involved in the guidance of the migrating cell toward appropriate sites for attachment.
