Junctional adhesion molecule-A-induced endothelial cell migration on vitronectin is integrin {alpha}v{beta}3 specific

Junctional adhesion molecule-A (JAM-A) is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, and is mainly expressed in the tight junctions of both epithelial and endothelial cells. We have recently shown that JAM-A is involved in basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-induced angiogenesis. Here, we show that, when ectopically expressed in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), JAM-A induced enhanced cell migration on vitronectin, but had no effect on fibronectin. Use of antibodies that block integrin function indicated that the migration on vitronectin is specific to integrin {alpha}v{beta}3 and not to integrin {alpha}v{beta}5. JAM-A-induced migration was inhibited by anti-JAM-A antibody. Additionally, overexpression of a JAM-A cytoplasmic domain deletion mutant failed to induce HUVEC migration. Addition of phosphoinositide 3-kinase and protein kinase C inhibitors blocked JAM-A-induced migration, suggesting that these kinases act downstream of JAM-A. Immunoprecipitation analysis showed that JAM-A interacts with integrin {alpha}v{beta}3, and this association was increased by engagement of the ligand-binding site of the integrin by Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (RGDS) peptide. Furthermore, activation of both focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) on vitronectin was enhanced by JAM-A overexpression but not by its cytoplasmic domain deletion mutant. Taken together, these results suggest that signaling through JAM-A is necessary for {alpha}v{beta}3-dependent HUVEC migration and implicate JAM-A in the regulation of vascular function.
