In this paper we show that collagenase-3 cleavage of type I collagen has a marked effect on alpha2beta1 integrin-mediated interactions with the collagen fragments generated. Isolated alpha2beta1 integrin and alpha2 integrin A-domain were found to bind to both native collagen and native 3/4 fragment and, to a lesser degree, native 1/4 fragment. Whole integrin and integrin A-domain binding were lost after heat denaturation of the collagen fragments. At physiological temperature, cell adhesion to triple-helical 3/4 fragment via alpha2beta1 integrin was still possible; however, no alpha2beta1 integrin-mediated adhesion to the 1/4 fragment was observed. Unwinding of the collagen fragment triple helices by heating to physiological temperatures prior to adsorption to plastic tissue culture plates resulted in total abrogation of HT1080 cell attachment to either fragment. These results provide significant evidence in support of a role for matrix-metalloproteinase cleavage of the extracellular matrix in modifying cell-matrix interactions.

Numerous cell–cell and cell–matrix interactions within the bone marrow microenvironment enable the controlled lifelong self-renewal and progeny of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). On the cellular level, this highly mutual interaction is granted by cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) integrating differentiation, proliferation, and pro-survival signals from the surrounding microenvironment to the inner cell. However, cell–cell and cell–matrix interactions are also critically involved during malignant transformation of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. It has become increasingly apparent that leukemia-associated gene products, such as activated tyrosine kinases and fusion proteins resulting from chromosomal translocations, directly regulate the activation status of adhesion molecules, thereby directing the leukemic phenotype. These observations imply that interference with adhesion molecule function represents a promising treatment strategy to target pre-leukemic and leukemic lesions within the bone marrow niche. Focusing on myeloid leukemia, we provide a current overview of the mechanisms by which leukemogenic gene products hijack control of cellular adhesion to subsequently disturb normal hematopoiesis and promote leukemia development.
