Figure Lengend Snippet: The expression level of integrin α5 subunit in Ph+ leukemia cell line SUP-B15 is significantly increased after serum starvation . (A) The percentages of cells expressing integrin α4, α5, and β1 subunits before and after serum starvation for 7 h detected by flow cytometry. (B) The mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) of integrin α4, α5, and β1 subunits from whole alive cell population before and after serum starvation for 7 h detected by flow cytometry.

Article Snippet: Human integrin α5 shRNA lentiviral particles (Catalog # sc-29372-V, Santa Cruz) were thawed at room temperature and added to leukemia cell suspension in 15 ml conical tubes and were spun at 800 × g (2500 rpm) for 90 min at 37°C.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Integrin α5 subunit antibody inhibits the adhesion of Ph+ leukemia cells to human fibronectin and enhances the killing of imatinib . (A) Cell adhesion assay showed that α5 subunit inhibitory antibody (CD49e, clone IIA1 BD Biosciences) was the only tested integrin antibody that significantly inhibited the adhesion of Ph+ leukemia cells to fibronectin with adhesion percentage of 6.6 ± 3.8% compared with control IgG of 44.8 ± 7.9%, p < 0.01. (B) . Annexin-V plus PI by flow cytometry. (i) P2 gate identifies the CD38 positive cell population representing SUP-B15 Ph+ leukemia cells. (ii) Ph+ leukemia cells grown on HS-5 stromal cells. (iii) Ph+ leukemia cells treated with 10 μM imatinib (IM). (iv) SUP-B15 cultured with stromal cells treated with 10 μM imatinib. (v) SUP-B15 cultured with stromal cells treated with 10 μM imatinib and 10 μg/ml anti-α5 Ab. (C) Quantitative analysis for apoptosis rate of different conditions. *After culture on HS-5 cells for 24 h, the apoptosis rate of leukemia cells SUP-B15 decreased from 29.4 ± 2.3 to 16.7 ± 3%, p < 0.05. # When inhibitory antibody to integrin α5 was combined with imatinib to treat Ph+ leukemia cells cultured on stromal cells, the apoptosis rate 38.0 ± 8.0% was significantly increased compared with imatinib by itself 25.7 ± 3.3%, p < 0.05.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Blocking integrin α5 affects the engraftment of Ph+ leukemia cells in immunodeficient mice . (A) The incubation for 1 h of Ph+ leukemia cells with disintegrin, a peptide inhibitor of integrins, impaired the engraftment of leukemia in NSG mice. Representative figures of n = 2 showed bioluminescence imaging from day 7 to 28 after inoculation of leukemia cells. (B) Animal total body bioluminescence was measured using the Xenogen IVIS Imaging System 200 Series with total imaging time of 2 min and compared with control animals that received cells that were not treated with Echistatin. (C) Anti-integrin α5 inhibitory antibodies clone IIA1 (BD Biosciences) and clone P1D6 (Millipore) decreased the engraftment of Ph+ leukemia cells in the bone marrow of NOD/SCID mice ( n = 2).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Knocking down integrin α5 delayed the engraftment of Ph+ leukemia cells in immunodeficient NOD/SCID mice . (A) Real-time QPCR assay showed that we had successfully knocked down the expression level of the integrin α5 knocking in clone 10. The cycle threshold (Ct) of the target gene (integrin α5) was normalized to the chosen reference gene GAPHD. Relative quantification, R = 2 −(ΔCt sample − ΔCt control) . Result shows the fold change normalized to SUP-LUC2 cells. (B) Western blot showed a reduced protein expression level of integrin α5 in clone 10. (C) Flow cytometry showed reduced mean fluorescent intensity of integrin α5 in clone 10. (D) Representative figures showed bioluminescent imaging at 2 weeks, and 5–8 weeks post leukemia cells inoculation. (E) Animal total body bioluminescence was quantified to compare with control. **The levels of bioluminescence became most significantly different 2 months post inoculation between the α5 knock-down group and control group [mean (SD) radiance vs. control, 5.3 (0.1) vs. 2.1 (0.2) × 10 6 p/s/cm 2 /sr, p < 0.01 at 2 months, n = 3.].
