Background: CCN2, (a.k.a. connective tissue growth factor and CTGF) has emerged as a regulator of cell migration. While the importance of CCN2 for the fibrotic process in wound healing has been well studied, the effect of CCN2 on keratinocyte function is not well understood. In this study, we investigated the mechanism behind CCN2-driven keratinocyte adhesion and migration.Materials and methods: Adhesion assays were performed by coating wells with 10 mu g/ml fibronectin (FN) or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Keratinocytes were seeded in the presence or absence of 200 ng/ml CCN2, 5 mmol/l ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, 10 mmol/l cations, 500 mu l arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD), 500 mu M arginine-glycine-glutamate-serine (RGES), and 10 mu g/ml anti-integrin blocking antibodies. Migration studies were performed using a modified Boyden chamber assay. Quantitative PCR was used to study the effect of CCN2 on integrin subunit mRNA expression. To block intracellular pathways, keratinocytes were pretreated with 20 mu M PD98059 (MEN-1 inhibitor) or 20 mu M PF573228 (FAN inhibitor) for 60 min prior the addition of CCN2. Western blot was used to measure CCN2, p-ERK1/2, and ERK1/2.Results: CCN2 enhanced keratinocyte adhesion to fibronectin via integrin alpha 5 beta 1. The addition of anti-integrin alpha 5 beta 1 antibodies reduced CCN2-mediated keratinocyte migration. In addition, CCN2 regulated mRNA and protein expression of integrin subunits alpha 5 and beta 1 CCN2 activated the FAK-MAPK signaling pathway, and pretreatment with MEK1-specific inhibitor PD98059 markedly reduced CCN2-induced keratinocyte migration.Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that CCN2 enhances keratinocyte adhesion and migration through integrin alpha 5 beta 1 and activation of the FAK-MAPK signaling cascade.
