Abstract
Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSC/P) reside in the bone marrow in distinct anatomic locations (niches) to receive growth, survival and differentiation signals. HSC/P localization and migration between niches depend on cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, which result from the cooperation of cytokines, chemokines and adhesion molecules. The CXCL12-CXCR4 pathway, in particular, is essential for myelopoiesis and B lymphopoiesis but the molecular mechanisms of CXCL12 action remain unclear. We previously noted a strong correlation between prolonged CXCL12-mediated focal adhesion kinase (FAK) phosphorylation and sustained pro-adhesive responses in progenitor B cells, but not in mature B cells. Although FAK has been well studied in adherent fibroblasts, its function in hematopoietic cells is not defined. We used two independent approaches to reduce FAK expression in (human and mouse) progenitor cells. RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated FAK silencing abolished CXCL12-induced responses in human pro-B leukemia, REH cells. FAK-deficient REH cells also demonstrated reduced CXCL12-induced activation of the GTPase Rap1, suggesting the importance of FAK in CXCL12-mediated integrin activation. Moreover, in FAK(flox/flox) hematopoietic precursor cells, Cre-mediated FAK deletion resulted in impaired CXCL12-induced chemotaxis. These studies suggest that FAK may function as a key intermediary in signaling pathways controlling hematopoietic cell lodgment and lineage development.

Abstract
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a critical component in transducing signals downstream of both integrins and growth factor receptors. To determine how the loss of FAK affects the epidermis in vivo, we have generated a mouse model with a keratinocyte-restricted deletion of fak (FAKK5 KO mice). FAK(K5 KO) mice displayed three major phenotypes--irregularities of hair cycle, sebaceous glands hypoplasia, and a thinner epidermis--pointing to defects in the proliferative capacity of multipotent stem cells found in the bulge. FAK-null keratinocytes in conventional primary culture undergo massive apoptosis hindering further analyses, whereas the defects observed in vivo do not shorten the mouse lifespan. These results suggest that the structure and the signaling environment of the native tissue may overcome the lack of signaling through FAK. Our findings point to the importance of in vivo and three-dimensional in vitro models in analyses of cell migration, proliferation, and survival. Surprisingly, the difference between FAKloxP/+ and FAKK5 KO mice in wound closure was not statistically significant, suggesting that in vivo loss of FAK does not affect migration/proliferation of basal keratinocytes in the same way as it affects multipotent stem cells of the skin.

Abstract
Axonal growth cones respond to adhesion molecules and extracellular matrix components by rapid morphological changes and growth rate modification. Neurite outgrowth mediated by the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) requires the src family tyrosine kinase p59(fyn) in nerve growth cones, but the molecular basis for this interaction has not been defined. The NCAM140 isoform, which is found in migrating growth cones, selectively co-immunoprecipitated with p59(fyn) from nonionic detergent (Brij 96) extracts of early postnatal mouse cerebellum and transfected rat B35 neuroblastoma and COS-7 cells. p59(fyn) did not associate significantly with the NCAM180 isoform, which is found at sites of stable neural cell contacts, or with the glycophosphatidylinositol-linked NCAM120 isoform. pp60(c-)src, a tyrosine kinase that promotes neurite growth on the neuronal cell adhesion molecule L1, did not interact with any NCAM isoform. Whereas p59(fyn) was constitutively associated with NCAM140, the focal adhesion kinase p125(fak), a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase known to mediate integrin-dependent signaling, became recruited to the NCAM140-p59(fyn) complex when cells were reacted with antibodies against the extracellular region of NCAM. Treatment of cells with a soluble NCAM fusion protein or with NCAM antibodies caused a rapid and transient increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of p125(fak) and p59(fyn). These results suggest that NCAM140 binding interactions at the cell surface induce the assembly of a molecular complex of NCAM140, p125(fak), and p59(fyn) and activate the catalytic function of these tyrosine kinases, initiating a signaling cascade that may modulate growth cone migration.

Abstract
Nerve growth cone guidance is a highly complex feat, involving coordination of cell adhesion molecules, trophic factor gradients, and extracellular matrix proteins. While navigating through the developing nervous system, the growth cone must integrate diverse environmental signals into a singular response. The repertoire of growth cone responses to these extracellular cues includes axonal growth, fasciculation, and synaptic stabilization, which are achieved through dynamic changes in the cytoskeleton and modulation of gene expression. It has become evident that interactions between cell adhesion molecules can activate intracellular signaling pathways in neurons. Such signaling pathways are just beginning to be defined for the axonal growth promoting molecules L1 and NCAM which are members of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily. Recent findings have revealed that L1 and NCAM induce neurite outgrowth by activating intracellular signaling pathways in the growth cone mediated by two different members of the src family of nonreceptor protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs), pp60(c-src) and p59(fyn5,6). Growth cones display diverse morphologies and variable motility on these different cell adhesion molecules, which are likely to be generated by src kinases. In this review we will address novel features of nonreceptor PTKs of the src family which dictate their distinctive molecular interactions with cell adhesion molecules and signaling components.

Abstract
Src-related nonreceptor protein tyrosine kinases in nerve growth cones (p59fyn, pp60c-src, and pp62c-yes) are potential intracellular signaling molecules for cell adhesion molecule-directed axonal growth. To determine whether src-related tyrosine kinases mediate NCAM-dependent neurite outgrowth, cultures of cerebellar and sensory neurons from fyn-, src-, and yes- minus mice were analyzed for neurite outgrowth on monolayers of NCAM140-transfected L fibroblasts. NCAM-dependent neurite outgrowth was selectively inhibited in cultures of cerebellar and dorsal root ganglion neurons from fyn-, but not src- or yes- mice. Neurite outgrowth by fyn-, src-, or yes- neurons on untransfected fibroblast monolayers was unaffected, indicating that these kinases do not contribute significantly to axon growth on at least some integrins or other adhesive substrates present on fibroblasts. This study demonstrates that p59fyn is an essential component of the NCAM signaling pathway leading to axonal growth.
