The cellular mechanisms that modulate interleukin-1 (IL-1) signaling are not defined. In fibroblasts, IL-1 signaling is affected by the nature of cell-matrix adhesions including focal adhesions, adhesive domains that sequester IL-1 receptors. We conducted studies to elucidate which steps of cellular Ca2+ handling are affected by focal adhesions and by which mechanisms focal adhesions modulate IL-1-induced Ca2+ signals and ERK activation in human gingival fibroblasts. Cells were plated on poly-l-lysine or fibronectin and treated with tenascin, Hep-I, or SPARC peptides to inhibit focal adhesion formation. These treatments blocked IL-1 and thapsigargin-induced Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum, indicating that the ER-release pathway is focal adhesion dependent. Focal adhesions were also required for Ca2+ entry through store-operated channels and for IL-1-induced ERK activation. Thus interactions with the extracellular matrix and focal adhesion formation regulate IL-1-induced generation of intracellular Ca2+ signals that in turn are required for ERK activation.
