Keratinocytes and other epithelial cells express two receptors for the basement membrane (BM) extracellular matrix component laminin-5 (Ln-5), integrins
3ß1 and
6ß4. While
3ß1 mediates adhesion, spreading, and migration (Kreidberg, J.A. 2000. Curr. Opin. Cell Biol. 12:548553),
6ß4 is involved in BM anchorage via hemidesmosomes (Borradori, L., and A. Sonnenberg. 1999. J. Invest. Dermatol. 112:411418). We investigated a possible regulatory interplay between
3ß1 and
6ß4 in cell motility using HaCaT keratinocytes as a model. We found that
6ß4 antibodies inhibit
3ß1-mediated migration on Ln-5, but only when migration is haptotactic (i.e., spontaneous or stimulated by
3ß1 activation), and not when chemotactic (i.e., triggered by epidermal growth factor receptor). Inhibition of migration by
6ß4 depends upon phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-K) since it is abolished by PI3-K blockers and by dominant-negative PI3-K, and constitutively active PI3-K prevents haptotaxis. In HaCaT cells incubated with anti
6ß4 antibodies, activation of PI3-K is mediated by
6ß4-associated erbB-2, as indicated by erbB-2 autophosphorylation and erbB-2/p85 PI3-K coprecipitation. Furthermore, dominant-negative erbB-2 abolishes inhibition of haptotaxis by anti
6ß4 antibodies. These results support a model whereby (a) haptotactic cell migration on Ln-5 is regulated by concerted action of
3ß1 and
6ß4 integrins, (b)
6ß4-associated erbB-2 and PI3-K negatively affect haptotaxis, and (c) chemotaxis on Ln-5 is not affected by
6ß4 antibodies and may require PI3-K activity. This model could be of general relevance to motility of epithelial cells in contact with BM.
