Assembly of amino-terminal fibronectin dimers into the extracellular matrix.
Fibronectin is a dimeric adhesion molecule that consists of three types of repeating modules. Adherent cells bind soluble fibronectin and incorporate it into insoluble fibrils in the extracellular matrix. The amino-terminal 70-kDa portion of fibronectin mediates binding to the cell surface, but amino-terminal fragments do not accumulate in the extracellular matrix. The ninth type I and first ty...
متن کاملThe incorporation of fibrinogen into extracellular matrix is dependent on active assembly of a fibronectin matrix.
Fibrinogen is a soluble protein produced by hepatocytes and secreted into plasma, where it functions in hemostasis. During inflammation, the hepatic synthesis of fibrinogen is induced 2-10 fold. Recent studies demonstrate that after an inflammatory stimulus, fibrinogen gene expression and protein production is upregulated in lung epithelial cells, where it is secreted basolaterally and conseque...
متن کاملIdentification of CD9 extracellular domains important in regulation of CHO cell adhesion to fibronectin and fibronectin pericellular matrix assembly.
CD9, a 24-kDa member of the tetraspanin family, influences cellular growth and development, activation, adhesion, and motility. Our investigation focuses on the hypothesis that the CD9 second extracellular loop (EC2) is important in modulating cell adhesive events. Using a Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell expression system, we previously reported that CD9 expression inhibited cell adhesion to f...
متن کاملCell traction forces direct fibronectin matrix assembly.
Interactions between cells and the surrounding matrix are critical to the development and engineering of tissues. We have investigated the role of cell-derived traction forces in the assembly of extracellular matrix using what we believe is a novel assay that allows for simultaneous measurement of traction forces and fibronectin fibril growth at discrete cell-matrix attachment sites. NIH3T3 cel...
متن کاملA fibronectin self-assembly site involved in fibronectin matrix assembly: reconstruction in a synthetic peptide
The active form of fibronectin is its extracellular matrix form, which allows for the attachment of cells and influences both the growth and migration of cells. The matrix form is assembled by cells; however, many cells are defective in this regard. Several regions within fibronectin have been shown to play a role in matrix assembly by cells. One such region has been localized into the first ty...
