Abstract
Cutaneous tissue injury, both in vivo and in vitro, initiates activation of a “wound repair” transcriptional program. One such highly induced gene encodes plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1, SERPINE1). PAI-1-GFP, expressed as a fusion protein under inducible control of +800 bp of the wound-activated PAI-1 promoter, prominantly “marked” keratinocyte migration trails during the real-time of monolayer scrape-injury repair. Addition of active recombinant PAI-1 to wounded wild-type keratinocyte monolayers as well as to PAI-1−/− MEFs and PAI-1−/− keratinocytes significantly stimulated directional motility above basal levels in all cell types. PAI-1 expression knockdown or antibody-mediated functional inhibition, in contrast, effectively attenuated injury repair. The defect in wound-associated migratory activity as a consequence of antisense-mediated PAI-1 down-regulation was effectively reversed by addition of recombinant PAI-1 immediately after scrape injury. One possible mechanism underlying the PAI-1-dependent motile response may involve fine control of the keratinocyte substrate detachment/re-attachment process. Exogenous PAI-1 significantly enhanced keratinocyte spread cell “footprint” area while PAI-1 neutralizing antibodies, but not control non-immune IgG, effectively inhibited spreading with apoptotic hallmarks evident within 24 h. Importantly, PAI-1 not only stimulated keratinocyte adhesion and wound-initiated planar migration but also rescued keratinocytes from plasminogen-induced substrate detachment/anoikis. The early transcriptional response of the PAI-1 gene to monolayer trauma and its prominence in the injury repair genetic signature are consistent with its function as both a survival factor and regulator of the time course of epithelial migration as part of the cutaneous injury response program.This publication has 44 references indexed in Scilit:
