    The serine proteinase inhibitor, plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1), binds to the adhesion protein vitronectin with high affinity at a site that is located directly adjacent to the vitronectin RGD integrin binding sequence. The binding of PAI-1 to vitronectin sterically blocks integrin access to this site and completely inhibits the binding of purified integrins to vitronectin; however, its inhibition of endothelial and smooth muscle cell adhesion to vitronectin is at most 50-75%. Because PAI-1 binds vitronectin with approximately 10-100-fold higher affinity than purified integrins, we have analyzed the mechanism whereby these cells are able to overcome this obstacle. Our studies exclude proteolytic removal of PAI-1 from vitronectin as the mechanism, and show instead that cell adhesion in the presence of PAI-1 is dependent on integrin-cytoskeleton engagement. Disrupting endothelial or smooth muscle cell actin polymerization and/or focal adhesion assembly reduces cell adhesion to vitronectin in the presence of PAI-1 to levels similar to that observed for the binding of purified integrins to vitronectin. Furthermore, endothelial cell, but not smooth muscle cell adhesion to vitronectin in the presence of PAI-1 requires both polymerized microtubules and actin, further demonstrating the importance of the cytoskeleton for integrin-mediated adhesion. Finally, we show that cell adhesion in the presence of PAI-1 leads to colocalization of PAI-1 with the integrins alphavbeta3 and alphavbeta5 at the cell-matrix interface.
