A number of molecules involved in cell adhesion (e.g. fibronectin, laminin, collagens I and IV, thrombospondin, entactin) have now been identified and the consequent roles that they play in the processes of growth, migration, differentiation and tumor spread have been described. Active sequences of the molecules have been identified using synthetic peptides derived from specific domains. Several adhesive molecules contain multiple active domains with different biological activities.

Introduction

Laminin

Recently, synaptic (s-laminin) and merosin, homologues of the Bl and A chains, respectively, have been described in various tissues [ 16-181. S-laminin contains an L.RE sequence that promotes the adhesion of ciliary ganglia [19,20].

Iaminin is a large glycoprotein (molecular weight = SOOOOO),which is found primarily in basement membrane, the thin extracellular matrix that underlies epithelial cells and surrounds muscle, fat and peripheral neuronal cells. Iaminin is therefore in contact with a variety of cells and it is not surprising that it contains multiple active sites [ 1,2]. A major form of laminin is composed of three chains designated A (molecular weight = 400000), Bl (molecular weight = 210000) and B2 (molecular weight = 200000). Laminin has various biological activities including the promotion of cell adhesion, migration, growth, neurite outgrowth, collagenase N activity, tyrosine hydroxylase activity and tumor metastases. Several of the active peptide sequences are Current

distinct in their cellular response and the type of cell with which they interact. For example, the Bl chain peptide, YIGSR, does not interact with neuronal cells, whereas the A chain peptide, PA22-2, which contains SIKVAV, and the B2 chain peptide p20 recognize neuronal cells [ 1,3,4]. Likewise YIGSR, PDSGR and F9 (RYWLPR) are located on the Bl chain and inhibit tumor metastases [1,2,5,6,7-J], whereas PA22-2 increases tumor metastases, growth, angiogenesis, plasminogen activation and collagenase N activity [ 9,10,11**]. As YIGSR and SIKVAV have opposing activities in tumor metastases and angiogenesis, it is likely that the two sites are not available to cells in tissues at the same time, but rather are developmentally regulated by the presence of other matrix components. It is interesting to note that the all-D-con&tired IKVAV-containing peptide has similar biological activity to the al-L-IKVAV peptide [ 121. Various active peptides have been defined from the carboxyl globular domain of the A chain (termed G domain) and all appear to be active with neural cells [ 12,13*,14]. It should be noted that this domain has significant homology with other proteins including S protein, androgen-binding protein and sex hormone-binding globulin [ 15.1. An additional point to keep in mind is that some cells, such as endothelial cells, can recognize multiple sites on laminin including YIGSR, RGD and SIKVAV ( [ 16); HK Kleinman et al., unpublished data).

The extensive study of several adhesive macromolecules has been prompted by their widespread involvement in development and diseases. This review will describe the more abundant and better studied extracellular matrix components laminin, Iibronectin, collagens 1 and N, thrombospondin and entactin/nidogen, and their active sites defined to date by short synthetic peptides. Emphasis will be placed on the responding cells because active sites vary in cell types with different specificity. All of these components have been sequenced, which has facilitated the approach of employing synthetic peptides. Part of this review will focus on one of the laminin-derived synthetic peptides containing YIGSR (where YI is tyrile and GSR is from the single-letter amino acid code), which is more active in the polymeric form and has been found to block the differentiation of some cells, tumor growth and angiogenesis. Iaminin, tibronectin and the collagens contain multiple biologically active sites with distinct activities and cell specificities. In some cases, the cellular receptors for a particular site differ between specific cells, which leads to a large diversity of biological functions and cell regulation.

1992,

The MGSR site on the laminin Bl chain has been studied by several laboratories because of its potent inhibitory effect on tumor metastases [5,6,7*] and growth 1211. This peptide blocks tumor metastases by reducing tumor cell adhesion to laminin [4,22], but inhibits angiogenesis [7*,17,23]. The activity of this peptide has been increased by preparing it in the cyclic form, as a polymer, coupled to polyethylene glycol and as a ‘starburst’ structure [6,24,25]. It is not clear if the increased activity is due to a better conformation, a longer half-life Ltd

in the bloodstream, or a combination of both. Some difficulties have been encountered with the synthesis and stability of the pentameric molecule and this has led to some inconsistencies for its activity. The YIGSR peptide has also been found to interact with normal cells and to influence cell differentiation. As already mentioned, angiogenesis is blocked in zUt!o in the chick chorio-allantoic membrane and in a rabbit eye model; in addition, a specific stage of sea urchin embryonic development, archenteron elongation, is blocked while other stages are unaffected [ 70,261. The migration of endocardial cushion mesenchyme and chick neural crest from the notochord is also blocked by YIGSR

[27,28]. Many cells are observed to differentiate when plated on a Iaminin-rich basement membrane matrix [29]. In some, but not all, cases, YIGSR can block this differentiation. For example, Sertoli cell cord formation is blocked by MGSR due to a decreased cell attachment to the matrix [30]. Similar results are observed with bone cells [ 311, whereas endothelial cells remain attached to the matrix but do not align [ 161. In contrast, the formation of salivary gland-like structures on basement membrane is unaffected by MGSR, but is blocked by the SIKVAV-containing peptide [ 32.1. These &ta demonstrate that YIGSR is one of the major functional sites in laminin for a variety of cells.

peptide blocks platelet adhesion to collagen, but not to fibronectin or laminin. Surprisingly, it also blocked T47D breast adenocarcinoma cell adhesion to collagen I and laminin. Both platelets and the T47D cells use the same receptor (azpI integrin) in their interaction with this sequence. Thus, the ability of cells to interact with this site is dependent on the presence of a specific receptor. The DGEA sequence recognizes the azpl integrin. This sequence is not in laminin, which suggests that a2pI can recognize additional sequences. Collagen N also has several active sites [2,42]. A major cell-binding site interacts with both the alpI integrin and the al& receptor [42,43**]. The specificity among various cell types has not yet been determined.

Fibronectin Fibronectin (molecular weight = 540000) is a serum protein that is also found in fibrous connective tissue and in the basement membrane of certain tissues [ 1,331. Like laminin, it has multiple active sites with different cellular specificities. The RGD sequence in libronectin was the first sequence to be reported active in promoting cell adhesion [34]. This sequence is found in more than 100 other proteins, including laminin, collagens I and N. entactin, vitronectin and fibrinogen [ 11. As some of these proteins are not biologically active, it would appear that the sequences and structure surrounding RGD are important for the activity in the native molecules. In fact, several upstream sequences in fibronectin have been reported to function synergistically with RGD in tibronectin [35-l. Additional active sites on fibronectin have been described, including LDV, which are cell-specific and in some cases located in alternatively spliced domains 136,371. All of the active sequences identified in libronectin have so far been found mainly to promote cell adhesion and sprcJding. The RGD site can reduce tumor metastases [ 38,391, but it is less active than the laminin-derived YIGSR.

Collagens have been used to coat culture dishes because they promote cell adhesion and survival. Collagen I forms a Iibrillar network, often with fibronectin in L@ljo,whereas collagen N forms a complex non-Iibrillar network. Besides the RGD sites that are present on both collagens [2,-iO], type I collagen has a DGEA site, which is active with platelets and certain other cells [41**]. This

Thrombospondin is a large glycoprotein (molecular weight = 450 000) that is released from platelets. It is also present in various extracellular matrices due to its interactions with heparin, fibronectin and collagen. It has been found to promote cell adhesion and various other biological events [44,45-,46-l, including neurite outgrowth and inhibition of tumor metastases. To date, three cellbinding sites have been defined, and two of these are in the carboxyl-terminal heparin-binding domain. One peptide that is constructed from the type I repeat WSXW promotes melanoma cell adhesion, whereas another type I repeat peptide CSVTCG and its homologues both promote adhesion and inhibit platelet aggregation and tumor metastases [ 46.0,471. Entactin/nidogen (molecular weight = 158000) is found in all basement membranes, where it binds to other bioactive components including laminin and collagen N. It also binds well to collagen I. The RGD site on entactin is functional with various cells [43**,48-501. Due to its presence in complexes with other bioactive matrix molecules, it can be expected that some synergy in activity exists although that has not yet been demonstrated. The interaction of enactin with tibronogen chains also suggests a role in hemostasis [49].

Conclusions A number of cell adhesion molecules are multifunctional and demonstrate cell type specificity. Several active sites have been identified by synthetic peptides and others probably exist. The definition of active sites and duplication of their activities by small synthetic peptides has helped to unravel specific developmental mechanisms. Such peptides may also be used clinically in the treatment of diseases, clotting problems, or to coat prostheses and implants for better tissue adherence. These peptides may also be used to improve wound healing and/or reduce scarring.
