PURPOSE. Fibronectin fibrillogenesis is an integrin-mediated process that may contribute to the pathogenesis of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Here, we examined the effects of alpha v beta 3 integrins on fibrillogenesis in immortalized TM-1 cells and human trabecular meshwork (HTM) cells.METHODS. TM-1 cells overexpressing wild-type beta 3 (WT beta 3) or constitutively active beta 3 (CA beta 3) integrin subunits were generated. Control cells were transduced with an empty vector (EV). Deoxycholic acid (DOC) extraction of monolayers, immunofluorescence microscopy, and On-cell western analyses were used to determine levels of fibronectin fibrillogenesis and fibronectin fibril composition (EDA+ and EDB+ fibronectins) and conformation. alpha v beta 3 and alpha 5 beta 1 Integrin levels were determined using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Cilengitide and an adenovirus vector expressing WT beta 3 or CA beta 3 integrin subunits were used to examine the role of alpha v beta 3 integrin in HTM cells. The role of the canonical alpha 5 beta 1 integrin-mediated pathway in fibrillogenesis was determined using the fibronectin-binding peptide FUD, the beta 1 integrin function-blocking antibody 13, and the Rho kinase (ROCK) inhibitor Y27632.RESULTS. Activation of alpha v beta 3 integrin enhanced the assembly of fibronectin into DOC-insoluble fibrils in both TM-1 and HTM cells. The formation of fibronectin fibrils was dependent on alpha 5 beta 1 integrin and could be inhibited by FUD. However, fibrillogenesis was unaffected by Y27632. Fibrils assembled by CA beta 3 cells also contained high levels of EDA+ and EDB+ fibronectin and fibronectin that was stretched.CONCLUSIONS. alpha v beta 3 Integrin signaling altered the deposition and structure of fibronectin fibrils using a beta 1 integrin/ROCK-independent mechanism. Thus, alpha v beta 3 integrins could play a significant role in altering the function of fibronectin matrices in POAG.
