Mucosal Vascular Addressin Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 (MADCAM1) is an endothelial cell adhesion molecule that is expressed on human MADCAM1 stable cell line HEK293. It primarily interacts with leukocyte beta7 integrin LPAM-1 (alpha4beta7), L-selectin, and VLA-4 (alpha4beta1) on myeloid cells, directing leukocytes into mucosal and inflammatory tissues. It is related to ICAM1 and VCAM1 and is a member of the immunoglobulin family. The MADCAM1 gene has been found to have many alternatively spliced transcripts that encode distinct protein isoforms, while it is yet unclear whether some of these variants are full-length.
Because of their robust growth and high transfection efficiency, human embryonic kidney cells, or HEK293 cells, are frequently utilized in research laboratories. Their great transfection effectiveness and simplicity of manipulation make them perfect for researching protein function and gene expression.
Integrins are important for cell adhesion, migration, and tissue formation, especially in inflammatory reactions and immune cell trafficking. Mutations in integrin β7, particularly α4β7, have been studied for their impact on lymphocyte homing to gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT). Agonist-induced activation, which is necessary for lymphocyte rolling and arrest, is impaired by mutations, according to research. For instance, the proline mutation within the integrin's transmembrane domain disrupts its structural integrity, leading to decreased integrin activation and lymphocyte homing.
Figure 1. The researchers utilized Jurkat T cells and CRISPR/Cas9 mutagenesis to study talin's role in activating integrin α4β7. They examined the expression of talin and β7, assessed binding to MAdCAM-1, and evaluated adhesion under shear stress conditions to understand the integrin's functionality. (Sun H, et al., 2018)
