-casein. We sought to identify the
specific laminin receptor(s) mediating the multiple cell responses to
laminin. Using assays with clonal mammary epithelial cells, we reveal
distinct functions for the
6
4 integrin,
1
integrins, and an E3 laminin receptor. Signals from laminin for
-casein expression were inhibited in the presence of
function-blocking antibodies against both the
6 and
1
integrin subunits and by the laminin E3 fragment. The
6-blocking antibody perturbed signals mediated by the
6
4
integrin, and the
1-blocking antibody perturbed signals
mediated by another integrin, the
subunit(s) of which remains to be determined. Neither
6- nor
1-blocking antibodies perturbed the cell shape changes resulting from cell exposure to
laminin. However, the E3 laminin fragment and heparin both inhibited
cell shape changes induced by laminin, thereby implicating an E3
laminin receptor in this function. These results elucidate the
multiplicity of cell-extracellular matrix interactions required to
integrate cell structure and signaling and ultimately permit normal
cell function.
