In agreement with previous reports (del Pozo et al., 2000), we observed an early accumulation of GTP-bound (i.e., active) Rac-1 upon cell plating on fibronectin with a kinetic comparable with the generation of oxygen species (Fig. 3 A). A causal link between Rac activation and adhesion-induced ROS was further demonstrated by overexpressing constitutively active Rac-1 mutant (RacQL) or the corresponding dominant-negative form (RacN17) of the GTPase (Fig. 3 B). As shown in Fig. 3 C, Rac-1?overexpressing cells plated on fibronectin produce significantly more hydrogen peroxide than cells in suspension.
