Cross-talk of SFRP4, integrin α1β1, and Notch1 inhibits cardiac differentiation of P19CL6 cells.
Cellular Signalling(2016)
Abstract
Signaling pathways play an important role in cardiogenesis. Secreted frizzled-related protein 4 (SFRP4), a member of the Wnt family, contributes to adipogenesis and tumorigenesis. However, how SFRP4 participates in cardiogenesis and the detailed molecular mechanisms involved have not been elucidated. The aim of this work was to determine cross-talk between SFRP4, integrin α1β1, and Notch1 during cardiac differentiation of P19CL6 cells. Using a well-established in vitro P19CL6 cell cardiomyocyte differentiation system, we found that SFRP4 inhibited P19CL6 cell cardiac differentiation via SFRP4 overexpression or knockdown. In addition, the SFRP4 overexpression augmented Notch1 and HES1 production. Further investigation demonstrated that SFRP4 bound to integrin α1β1 to activate the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) pathway and that phosphorylated FAK Y397 (p-FAK Y397) aided Notch intracellular domain 1 (NICD1) nuclear translocation to form a p-FAK Y397–NICD1 complex that activated the Hes1 promoter. Taken together, the cross-talk between SFRP4, integrin α1β1, and Notch1 suppresses the cardiac differentiation of P19CL6 cells.
