RESUMO
Fibronectin mediates the adhesion of cells to collagen by first binding to the collagen substrate, followed by attachment of the cells to the fibronectin-collagen complex. Bovine brain gangliosides were found to block fibronectin-mediated cell adhesion to collagen in a concentration-dependent manner. The gangliosides did not block the binding of fibronectin to collagen but did prevent the attachment of the cells to the fibronectin-collagen complex. Of the individual gangliosides tested, GT1 and GD1a were the most effective inhibitors followed by GD1b greater than GM1 greater than GM2; GM3 was not an inhibitor. The inhibition of cell adhesion also was observed with the oligosaccharide portion of the gangliosides, but not with ceramides or with a variety of free sugars or glycosaminoglycans. Mild periodate oxidation of mixed gangliosides or of GD1a modified their sialic acid residues and the oxidized gangliosides were no longer inhibitory; subsequent reduction with NaBH4 did not restore the inhibitory activity of the modified gangliosides. These results suggest that specific gangliosides or related sialic acid-containing glycoconjugates on the cell surface may act as the receptors for fibronectin.
