Growth factor-induced cell migration and proliferation are essential for epithelial wound repair. Cell migration during wound repair also depends upon expression of laminin-5, a ligand for
6
4 integrin. We investigated the role of
6
4 integrin in laminin-5-dependent keratinocyte migration by re-expressing normal or attachment-defective
4 integrin in
4 integrin null keratinocytes. We found that expression of
4 integrin in either a ligand bound or ligand unbound state was necessary and sufficient for EGF-induced cell migration. In a ligand bound state,
4 integrin supported EGF-induced cell migration though sustained activation of Rac1. In the absence of
6
4 integrin ligation, Rac1 activation became tempered and EGF chemotaxis proceeded through an alternate mechanism that depended upon
3
1 integrin and was characterized by cell scattering.
3
1 integrin also relocalated from cell-cell contacts to sites of basal clustering where it displayed increased conformational activation. The aberrant distribution and activation of
3
1 integrin in attachment-defective
4 cells could be reversed by the activation of Rac1. Conversely, in WT
4 cells the normal cell-cell localization of
3
1 integrin became aberrant after the inhibition of Rac1. These studies indicate that the extracellular domain of
4 integrin, through its ability to bind ligand, functions to integrate the divergent effects of growth factors on the cytoskeleton and adhesion receptors so that coordinated keratinocyte migration can be achieved.
