Fibrillar organization of fibronectin is expressed coordinately with cell surface gangliosides in a variant murine fibroblast
NCTC 2071A cells, a line of transformed murine fibroblasts, grow in serum-free medium, are deficient in gangliosides, synthesize fibronectin, but do not retain and organize it on the cell surface. When the cells are exposed to exogenous gangliosides, fibrillar strands of fibronectin become attached to the cell surface. A morphologically distinct variant of NCTC 2071A cells was observed to both ...
متن کاملFAK promotes organization of fibronectin matrix and fibrillar adhesions.
Targeted disruption of the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) gene in mice is lethal at embryonic day 8.5 (E8.5). Vascular defects in FAK-/- mice result from the inability of FAK-deficient endothelial cells to organize themselves into vascular network. We found that, although fibronectin (FN) levels were similar, its organization was less fibrillar in both FAK-/- endothelial cells and mesoderm of E8.5...
متن کاملFluorescent gangliosides as probes for the retention and organization of fibronectin by ganglioside-deficient mouse cells
Ganglioside-deficient transformed mouse fibroblasts (NCTC 2071A cells), which grow in serum-free medium, synthesize fibronectin but do not retain it on the cell surface. When fluorescent derivatives of gangliosides, containing either rhodamine or Lucifer yellow CH attached to the sialic acid residues, were added to the culture medium, the cells incorporated the derivatives and their surfaces be...
متن کاملtoxicity of calcium hydroxide nanoparticles on murine fibroblast cell line
introduction: one of the major contributing factors, which may cause failure of endodontic treatment, is the presence of residual microorganisms in the root canal system. for years, most dentists have been using calcium hydroxide (ch) as the intracanal medicament between treatment sessions to eliminate remnant microorganisms. reducing the size of ch particles into nanoparticles enhances the pen...
متن کاملFibronectin in reflux nephropathy Is it a marker of reflux grade?
Background and Objective: Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is one of the most common urinary tract abnormalities in patients with urinary tract infection. Nowadays noninvasive diagnostic methods are suggested to recognize VUR and its severity. Methods: We measured urinary and serum fibronectin in 51 children with VUR. Results: The mean serum fibronectin was 318.3±112.1 in chi...
