Expression of cell adhesion molecules during human preimplantation embryo development.
Formation of a fully differentiated, implantation competent blastocyst requires the expression of a complex repertoire of molecules. However, the events that drive morphogenesis are poorly elucidated in the human embryo. In this work, we describe the amplification of representative cDNAs from morphologically and developmentally normal, individual human embryos at all stages from pronucleate to ...
متن کاملDifferential expression of mouse neural cell-adhesion molecule (N-CAM) mRNA species during brain development and in neural cell lines.
The cell-adhesion molecules N-CAM (neural cell-adhesion molecule) are ligands in the formation of cell-cell bonds and have been shown to play important roles during neuro-ontogenesis. They exist in several molecular forms which differ at the protein and carbohydrate levels. The regulation of the expression of these different forms is an important issue that bears on such questions as to how adh...
متن کاملAdhesion molecules in skeletogenesis: I. Transient expression of neural cell adhesion molecules (NCAM) in osteoblasts during endochondral and intramembranous ossification.
We report that neural cell adhesion molecules (NCAM) are expressed transiently in developing chicken osteoblasts during osteogenesis using immunostaining on cryostat sections. NCAM is strongly expressed in most osteoblasts along bone trabeculae that coincide with the presence of collagen I and alkaline phosphatase activity. In endochondral ossification, NCAM is highly expressed in osteogenic bu...
متن کاملAlterations in neural cell adhesion molecules during development of different regions of the nervous system.
Several cell adhesion molecules involved in neuron-neuron and neuron-glia interactions have been identified in our laboratory and have been shown to undergo cell surface modulation. In the case of the neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM), it has been found that during development the molecule is converted from a microheterogeneous embryonic (E) form containing 30 gm of sialic acid/100 gm of po...
متن کاملNeural cell adhesion molecules--brain glue and much more!
The formation of stable cell contacts is of pivotal importance for every metazoan life form. It is therefore not surprising that adhesive molecules appeared early during the evolution of multicellular organisms. The pioneering work of Johannes Holtfreter and others indicated that adhesive molecules, which reside in the plasma membrane on the surface of most cells, are not only important for est...
