Human fibronectin receptor (VLA-5) .alpha. and .beta. chain probes were used to identify their mouse homologues in a thioglycollate-elicited peritoneal exudate cell cDNA library. Sequence analysis of both .alpha. and .beta. chain-related murine clones revealed .apprx. 90% homology to their human counterparts by both nucleotide and derived amino acid sequence comparisons. Detectable .alpha. chain transcripts were seen predominantly in total RNA of peritoneal macrophages. .beta. chain expression, however, was detected at higher levels in lung, heart, brain, and kidney, suggesting the presence of a large murine VLA family similar to the human family. Analysis of levels of expression comparing resting peritoneal macrophages with macrophages elicited using inflammatory stimuli indicated that .alpha. chain message and surface LVA-5 expression were significantly increased using thioglycollate or Listeria monocytogenes as stimuli to elicit cells. Interestingly, .beta. chain message was unaffected by these inflammatory stimuli, suggesting that VLA-5 expression is regulated by VLA-5 .alpha. chain message levels. These results indicate that macrophage VLA-5 expression can be modulated in vivo and may provide an important mechanism by which macrophages are recruited to or adhere to fibronectin in inflammatory foci.
