| Abstract | Integrins are cellsurface proteins responsible for cell motility.Inspired by the rich disulfide exchange chemistry of integrins, weshow here the inhibition of cell migration by cascade exchangers (CAXs),which also enable and inhibit cell penetration by thiol-mediated uptake.Fast-moving CAXs such as reversible Michael acceptor dimers, dithiabismepanes,and bioinspired epidithiodiketopiperazines are best, much better thanEllman’s reagent. The implication that integrins participatein thiol-mediated uptake is confirmed by reduced uptake in integrin-knockdowncells. Although thiol-mediated uptake is increasingly emerging asa unifying pathway to bring matter into cells, its molecular basisis essentially unknown. These results identify the integrin superfamilyas experimentally validated general cellular partners in the dynamiccovalent exchange cascades that are likely to account for thiol-mediateduptake. The patterns identified testify to the complexity of the dynamic covalent networks involved. This work also provides chemistrytools to explore cell motility and expands the drug discovery potentialof CAXs from antiviral toward antithrombotic and antitumor perspectives. |
