Proteolytic degradation of intestinal mucosal extracellular matrix after lamina propria T cell activation.
BACKGROUND Proteoglycans, consisting of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) side chains covalently linked to a protein core, are a major component of the extracellular matrix of the intestinal lamina propria. AIMS This study investigated the effects of lamina propria T cell activation on the proteoglycan component of the matrix. METHODS The high degree of sulphation of GAGs means that they are polyanio...
متن کاملFunction of cancer cell-derived extracellular matrix in tumor progression
Extracellular matrix (ECM) is an essential component of the tumor microenvironment. Cancer development and progression are associated with increased ECM deposition and crosslink. The chemical and physical signals elicited from ECM are necessary for cancer cell proliferation and invasion. It is well recognized that stromal cells are a major source of ECM proteins. However, recent studies showed ...
متن کاملCell Migration through Extracellular Matrix
Every so often, a paper comes along that brings clarity to an issue. Clarity is not necessarily a final resolution, but rather a conceptual framework for productively addressing that issue. Such a paper could be based on a breakthrough discovery, an intriguing observation, a flash of intuition , or a systematic analysis. An excellent example of the latter is in this issue of The Journal of Cell...
متن کاملProteolytic events of wound-healing--coordinated interactions among matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), integrins, and extracellular matrix molecules.
During wound-healing, cells are required to migrate rapidly into the wound site via a proteolytically generated pathway in the provisional matrix, to produce new extracellular matrix, and, subsequently, to remodel the newly formed tissue matrix during the maturation phase. Two classes of molecules cooperate closely to achieve this goal, namely, the matrix adhesion and signaling receptors, the i...
متن کاملExtracellular matrix elasticity directs stem cell differentiation.
Stem cell differentiation is regulated by a variety of cues including growth factors and extracellular matrix (ECM), although the role that the ECM has in this process is less understood. Here we provide examples of how the composition, concentration, and elastic modulus of matrix as well as its temporal and spatial location plays a key role in regulating cell fate. Natural variation of matrix ...
