Ets transcription factors are associated with tumor malignancy. We reported previously that the stable transfection of the dominant-negative form of Ets-1 (Ets-DN) in the glioma cell line U251 induced down-regulation of urokinase-type plasminogen activator mRNA expression and invasiveness (M. Nakada et al., J. Neuropathol. Exp. Neurol., 58: 329-334, 1999). Here we analyzed effects of Ets-DN expression on cell adhesion, migration, and phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase. U251 cells expressing Ets-DN (U251-DN) showed reduced cell adhesion, spreading, and extension of actin stress fibers on dishes coated with fibronectin but not on dishes coated with collagen. Migration of U251-DN cells was found to be significantly inhibited compared with that of parental cells when examined by wound-induced migration assay on fibronectin-coated dishes. Phosphorylation levels of focal adhesion kinase in U251-DN cells were also attenuated on dishes coated with fibronectin. Reduced expression level of integrin alpha5 subunit in U251-DN cells was demonstrated by semiquantitative reverse transcription-PCR analysis. Semiquantitative reverse transcription-PCR of surgical samples of brain tumors revealed that the expression level of Ets-1 mRNA correlated with that of integrin alpha5 mRNA in glioma. The experimental metastatic ability of U251-DN cells examined in chick embryo was considerably lower than that of parental cells. These results suggest that Ets-1 contributes to glioma malignancy by up- regulating expression of the integrin alpha5 subunit, which composes integrin alpha5beta1 and mediates intracellular signaling and the subsequent acceleration of the invasive process, including cell adhesion and migration.
