Exchangeability of alpha-actinin in living cardiac fibroblasts and muscle cells
We have investigated the exchangeability of alpha-actinin in various structures of cultured chick cardiac fibroblasts and muscle cells using fluorescent analogue cytochemistry in combination with fluorescence recovery after photobleaching. Living cells were microinjected with tetramethylrhodamine-labeled alpha-actinin, which became localized in cellular structures. Small areas of labeled struct...
متن کاملMyofibrillogenesis in living cells microinjected with fluorescently labeled alpha-actinin
Fluorescently labeled alpha-actinin, isolated from chicken gizzards, breast muscle, or calf brains, was microinjected into cultured embryonic myotubes and cardiac myocytes where it was incorporated into the Z-bands of myofibrils. The localization in injected, living cells was confirmed by reacting permeabilized myotubes and cardiac myocytes with fluorescent alpha-actinin. Both living and permea...
متن کاملDistribution of alpha-actinin in single isolated smooth muscle cells
In order to probe the organization of the contractile machinery in smooth muscle, we have studied the distribution of alpha-actinin, a protein present in high concentration in dense bodies, structures apparently analogous to the Z-disks of striated muscle. Localization of alpha-actinin in single isolated smooth muscle cells of the stomach muscularis of Bufo marinus was determined by analysis of...
متن کاملAngiotensin II enhances integrin and alpha-actinin expression in adult rat cardiac fibroblasts.
Angiotensin II (Ang II) plays an important role in cardiac remodeling through stimulation of proliferation and extracellular matrix (ECM) production in cardiac fibroblasts. Integrins are a family of transmembrane receptors that mediate the attachment of cells to ECM. We hypothesized that Ang II regulation of integrins further contributes to its role in cardiac remodeling. We cultured adult rat ...
متن کاملReorganization of alpha-actinin and vinculin induced by a phorbol ester in living cells
We have used fluorescent analogue cytochemistry, image intensification, and digital image processing to examine the redistribution of alpha-actinin and vinculin in living cultured African green monkey kidney (BSC-1) cells treated with the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Before treatment, microinjected alpha-actinin shows characteristic distribution along stress fibers ...
