Mouse ADAM12 disintegrin domain in the vector pGEX-2T was provided by Anna Zolkiewski (Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS). Mouse anti-\u03b14 integrin functional blocking monoclonal antibody (mAb) HP2\/1 and mouse anti-\u03b15 integrin functional blocking antibody CBL497 were obtained from Chemicon International (Temecula, CA). Many recombinant ADAM disintegrin domains have been shown to interact with a variety of \u03b21 integrins, including \u03b14\u03b21 (Tomczuk et al., 2003; White, 2003; Bridges et al., 2004; White et al., 2005). These domains have been implicated in interactions with integrins and syndecans, respectively. Downstream of their metalloprotease domains, ADAMs contain a disintegrin domain and a cysteine-rich domain. ADAMs shed a variety of important cell surface molecules, including cytokines (e.g., tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1), growth factors (e.g., epidermal growth factor family members), and adhesion molecules (e.g., L1, selectins, and vascular cell adhesion molecule) (Blobel, 2005).<\/p>\n
As seen in Figure 3, with cells expressing both the \u03b14\u03b21 and \u03b15\u03b21 integrins (CHO-\u03b14\/GFP), ADAM12 inhibited cell migration on the \u03b14\u03b21-specific substrate in both transwell (Figure 3A) and scratch wound (Figures 3B and 4A) assays. However, no studies have yet addressed the selectivity of ADAM-integrin interactions in a cell biological function such as cell migration. Integrins, which interact with extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules, are key players in cell migration (Ridley et al., 2003). ADAMs were expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells that express defined integrins (\u03b14\u03b21, \u03b15\u03b21, or both), and cell migration on full-length fibronectin or on its \u03b14\u03b21 or \u03b15\u03b21 binding fragments was studied.

After incubation for 2 h in a CO2 incubator at 37\u00b0C, confluent cell monolayer was scraped with a yellow Pipetman tip to generate scratch wounds. Scratch wound migration assays were performed as described previously (Pinco et al., 2002). As described previously (Pinco et al., 2002), green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged \u03b14 integrin is functionally normal.<\/p>\n
