Presynaptic Organelles and Junctional Integrity
نویسنده
چکیده
The identification of synaptic bulbs at the electron accompanied by attempts to study their fate after microscope level and the description of their major the interruption of parent fibers (1) . The degeneracytological characteristics (mitochondria, synaptive changes in organelles of synaptic bulbs were tic vesicles, and junctional densities) were soon well described by De Robertis, but several years

Super-Resolution Microscopy Reveals a Nanoscale Organization of Acetylcholine Receptors for Trans-Synaptic Alignment at Neuromuscular Synapses
The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a chemical synapse formed between motoneurons and skeletal muscle fibers. The vertebrate NMJ uses acetylcholine (ACh) as the neurotransmitter and features numerous invaginations of the postsynaptic muscle membrane termed junctional folds. ACh receptors (AChRs) are believed to be concentrated on the crest of junctional folds but their spatial organization rema...
متن کاملMyosin VA Movements in Normal and Dilute-Lethal Axons Provide Support for a Dual Filament Motor Complex
To investigate the role that myosin Va plays in axonal transport of organelles, myosin Va-associated organelle movements were monitored in living neurons using microinjected fluorescently labeled antibodies to myosin Va or expression of a green fluorescent protein-myosin Va tail construct. Myosin Va-associated organelles made rapid bi-directional movements in both normal and dilute-lethal (myos...
متن کاملLysophosphatidic Acid Disrupts Junctional Integrity and Epithelial Cohesion in Ovarian Cancer Cells
Ovarian cancer metastasizes via exfoliation of free-floating cells and multicellular aggregates from the primary tumor to the peritoneal cavity. A key event in EOC metastasis is disruption of cell-cell contacts via modulation of intercellular junctional components including cadherins. Ascites is rich in lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a bioactive lipid that may promote early events in ovarian canc...
متن کاملHepatocyte Growth Factor Acutely Perturbs Actin Filament Anchorage at the Epithelial Zonula Adherens
Cadherin adhesion molecules function in close cooperation with the actin cytoskeleton. At the zonula adherens (ZA) of polarized epithelial cells, E-cadherin adhesion induces the cortical recruitment of many key cytoskeletal regulators, which act in a dynamic integrated system to regulate junctional integrity and cell-cell interactions. This capacity for the cytoskeleton to support the ZA carrie...
متن کاملThe Junctional Complex Associated Body of Human Eccrine Sweat Gland
The junctional complex connecting epithelial cells at their luminal pole consists of a complex of highly specialized structures which provide attachment (5-7) and communication (10) between cells . This junctional complex includes the zonula occludens, the underlying zonula adherens and, at intervals, the subjacent macula adherens or desmosome. Although this complex of fine structures occurs ve...
