Inadequate or inappropriate adhesion of epithelial cells to extracellular matrix leads to a form of apoptosis known as anoikis. During various tissue remodelling events, such as wound healing or carcinoma invasion, changes in the physical properties, and/or composition of the extracellular matrix, can lead to anoikis of epithelial cells that lack appropriate receptor-matrix interactions. Laminin-5 is the major ligand for keratinocyte adhesion in the epidermis, and it also promotes keratinocyte survival in vivo and in vitro. Integrins
3
1 and
6
4 are the major receptors for laminin-5; however, specific roles for these integrins in keratinocyte survival have not been determined. In the current study, we exploited keratinocyte cell lines derived from wild-type or
3 integrin knockout mice to reveal a critical role for
3
1 in protecting keratinocytes from apoptosis upon serum withdrawal. We show that
3
1-mediated adhesion to laminin-5 extracellular matrix inhibits proteolytic activation of caspase-3 and TUNEL-staining, both hallmarks of apoptosis. We also show that
3
1-mediated adhesion activates focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), and that inhibition of either FAK or ERK signaling leads to apoptosis of keratinocytes attached to laminin-5.
6
4-mediated adhesion to laminin-5 only partially protects cells from apoptosis in the absence of
3
1, and
6
4 is not necessary for cell survival in the presence of
3
1. These results suggest that
3
1 is necessary and sufficient for maximal keratinocyte survival on laminin-5. We propose a model to address the potential importance of
3
1-mediated survival for migrating keratinocytes at the leading edge of a cutaneous wound.
