Functional differences between kindlin-1 and kindlin-2 in keratinocytes.
Integrin-β1-null keratinocytes can adhere to fibronectin through integrin αvβ6, but form large peripheral focal adhesions and exhibit defective cell spreading. Here we report that, in addition to the reduced avidity of αvβ6 integrin binding to fibronectin, the inability of integrin β6 to efficiently bind and recruit kindlin-2 to focal adhesions directly contributes to these phenotypes. Kindlins...
متن کاملActivation of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 mediates orofacial mechanical hyperalgesia
BACKGROUND Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) is a unique member of the serine/threonine kinase family. This kinase plays an important role in neuronal development, and deregulation of its activity leads to neurodegenerative disorders. Cdk5 also serves an important function in the regulation of nociceptive signaling. Our previous studies revealed that the expression of Cdk5 and its activator, p35...
متن کاملOpposite Role of Kindlin-1 and Kindlin-2 in Lung Cancers
Lung cancer is highly heterogenous and is composed of various subtypes that are in diverse differential stages. The newly identified integrin-interacting proteins Kindlin-1 and Kindlin-2 are the activators of transmembrane receptor integrins that play important roles in cancer progression. In this report we present the expression profiles of Kindlin-1 and Kindlin-2 in lung cancers using patient...
متن کاملPhenoconversion of Cardiac Fibroblasts to Myofibroblasts
The cardiac stroma provides tensile strength binding muscle cells and serves as structural scaffolding in the presence of continuous cyclic changes in mechanical tension. The principal stromal cell types are fibroblasts, but this designation belies their diversity and topographical differentiation from organ to organ, including the heart.1 For example, skin fibroblasts and vascular smooth muscl...
متن کاملFibroblast Growth Factor 2 Mediates Isoproterenol-induced Cardiac Hypertrophy through Activation of the Extracellular Regulated Kinase.
Fibroblast growth factor 2 (basic FGF or FGF2) has been shown to affect growth and differentiation in some tissues and to be required for cardiac hypertrophy in vivo. FGF2 has been shown in vitro to signal through the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) to affect cell survival and growth. To ascertain the role of FGF2 in cardiac hypertrophy, wildtype, Fgf2 knockout, non-transgenic, and FGF2...
