Fibronectin glomerulopathy
Fibronectin glomerulopathy occurs between the second and fifth decades of life in most patients, and it is known to be slowly progressive with mild proteinuria leading to kidney failure. The case of a 78-year-old woman with a rapid course of nephrotic syndrome due to fibronectin glomerulopathy is reported. She had proteinuria that rapidly increased to 6.8 g/day in a month and microscopic haemat...
متن کاملCirculating fibronectin and fibronectin receptor in children with pertussis.
AIM To determine concentrations of fibronectin and fibronectin receptor in children with pertussis. METHODS Concentrations of circulating fibronectin and serum fibronectin receptor were detected in eight children affected by pertussis, eight children with acute upper or lower respiratory tract infections, and in 14 healthy control children. The single radial immunodiffusion technique and a so...
متن کاملAllosteric Regulation of Fibronectin/α5β1 Interaction by Fibronectin-Binding MSCRAMMs
Adherence of microbes to host tissues is a hallmark of infectious disease and is often mediated by a class of adhesins termed MSCRAMMs (Microbial Surface Components Recognizing Adhesive Matrix Molecules). Numerous pathogens express MSCRAMMs that specifically bind the heterodimeric human glycoprotein fibronectin (Fn). In addition to roles in adhesion, Fn-binding MSCRAMMs exploit physiological Fn...
متن کاملInflamed fibronectin: an altered fibronectin enhances neutrophil adhesion.
Recent investigations have emphasized the role of activated granulocytes in mediating vascular endothelial injury in the pathogenesis of shock lung. In vitro studies have indicated that tight adherence of the neutrophil to the endothelium is crucial for the development of cellular injury. Fibronectin is critical to cell-to-substratum and cell-to-cell interactions. Since fibronectin resides in p...
متن کاملFibronectin binding determinants of the Staphylococcus aureus fibronectin receptor.
Synthetic peptide analogs mimicking a repeated motif within the Staphylococcus aureus fibronectin receptor inhibit binding of the bacteria to fibronectin (Signäs, C., Raucci, G., Jonsson, K., Lindgren, P. E., Anantharamaiah, G. M., Höök, M., and Lindberg, M. (1989) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 86, 699-703). In this study, we have further localized the fibronectin-binding determinant within the...
