Human amnion contains a novel laminin variant, laminin 7, which like laminin 6, covalently associates with laminin 5 to promote stable epithelial-stromal attachment
Stable attachment of external epithelia to the basement membrane and underlying stroma is mediated by transmembrane proteins such as the integrin alpha6beta4 and bullous pemphigoid antigen 2 within the hemidesmosomes along the basolateral surface of the epithelial cell and their ligands that include a specialized subfamily of laminins. The laminin 5 molecule (previously termed kalinin/nicein/ep...

Laminin-1 is emerging as the key molecule in early embryonic basement membrane assembly. Here we review recent insights into its functions gained from the synergistic application of genetic and structural methods.
متن کاملMotility induction in breast carcinoma by mammary epithelial laminin 332 (laminin 5).
Host interactions with tumor cells contribute to tumor progression by several means. This study was done to determine whether mammary epithelium could interact with breast carcinoma by producing substances capable of inducing motility in the cancer cells. Conditioned medium of immortalized 184A1 mammary epithelium collected in serum-free conditions induced dose-dependent motility in the MCF-7 b...
متن کاملCorneal epithelial cell attachment with endogenous laminin and fibronectin.
PURPOSE To evaluate the role of endogenously produced laminin and fibronectin as well as the effect of exogenous laminin and fibronectin in the attachment of human corneal epithelial cells in vitro. METHODS Primary cultured human corneal epithelial cells labeled with 3H-thymidine were seeded onto plates coated with laminin or fibronectin, or onto uncoated bacteriologic plates. Attachment of c...
متن کاملThe dermal-epidermal junction of human skin contains a novel laminin variant
We report the identification of a novel laminin variant that appears to be unique to a subset of epithelial basement membranes. The variant contains two chains electrophoretically and immunologically identical to the B1 and B2 chains. Epitopes contained in the laminin A chain are absent from the molecule, and a 190-kD chain substitutes for the A chain. V8 protease analysis and Western blotting ...
