The Skeletal Phenotype of Chondroadherin Deficient Mice
Chondroadherin, a leucine rich repeat extracellular matrix protein with functions in cell to matrix interactions, binds cells via their α2β1 integrin as well as via cell surface proteoglycans, providing for different sets of signals to the cell. Additionally, the protein acts as an anchor to the matrix by binding tightly to collagens type I and II as well as type VI. We generated mice with inac...
متن کاملAnalysis of HGPRT- CRM+ human lymphoblast mutants.
Three 6-thioguanine-resistant mutants of the human diploid lymphoblast line MGL-8 were studied. The inactivation by heat of both HGPRT activity and antigenicity of the HGPRT immunologically cross-reacting material of the A30 mutant cells were not protected by PRPP, indicating that the HGPRT in A30 cells has an altered PRPP binding site, leading to lack of stabilization and rapid degradation of ...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-19-deficient fibroblasts display a profibrotic phenotype.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and usually lethal interstitial lung disease of unknown etiology characterized by aberrant activation of epithelial cells that induce the migration, proliferation and activation of fibroblasts. The resulting distinctive fibroblastic/myofibroblastic foci are responsible for the excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) production and abnormal lung ...
متن کاملAromatase-deficient (ArKO) mice have a phenotype of increased adiposity.
The aromatase-knockout (ArKO) mouse provides a useful model to examine the role that estrogens play in development and homeostasis in mammals. Lacking a functional Cyp19 gene, which encodes aromatase, the ArKO mouse cannot synthesize endogenous estrogens. We examined the adipose depots of male and female ArKO mice, observing that these animals progressively accumulate significantly more intraab...
متن کاملF-Spondin Deficient Mice Have a High Bone Mass Phenotype
F-spondin is a pericellular matrix protein upregulated in developing growth plate cartilage and articular cartilage during osteoarthritis. To address its function in bone and cartilage in vivo, we generated mice that were deficient for the F-spondin gene, Spon1. Spon1-/- mice were viable and developed normally to adulthood with no major skeletal abnormalities. At 6 months, femurs and tibiae of ...
