Integrins avb3 and a5b1 Mediate Attachment of Lyme Disease Spirochetes to Human Cells
Borrelia burgdorferi (sensu lato), the agent of Lyme disease, is able to cause chronic, multisystemic infections in human and animal hosts. Attachment of the spirochete to host cells is likely to be important for the colonization of diverse tissues. The platelet-specific integrin aIIbb3 was previously identified as a receptor for all three species of Lyme disease spirochetes (B. burgdorferi sen...
متن کاملAn angiogenic laminin site and its antagonist bind through the avb3 and a5b1 integrins
Angiogenesis is important for wound healing, tumor growth, and metastasis. Endothelial cells differentiate into capillary-like structures on a laminin1-rich matrix (Matrigel). We previously identified 20 angiogenic sites on laminin-1 (a1b1g1) by screening 559 overlapping synthetic peptides. C16, the most potent g1 chain peptide, blocked laminin-1-mediated adhesion and was the only g1 chain pept...
متن کاملRegional Differences in Integrin Expression Role of a5b1 in Regulating Smooth Muscle Cell Functions
There is increasing evidence to suggest that coronary smooth muscle cells (SMCs) differ from noncoronary SMCs. As integrin adhesion molecules regulate many SMC functions, we hypothesized that differences in integrin expression on coronary and noncoronary SMCs may account for cellular differences. Analysis of integrin expression on freshly isolated porcine coronary and noncoronary SMCs revealed ...
متن کاملIntegrin a5b1-Mediated Adenovirus Infection Is Enhanced by the Integrin-Activating Antibody TS2/16
Adenovirus internalization generally has been accepted to involve an interaction of the adenoviral penton base protein with avb3 and avb5 cell surface integrins. In this study we show that exposure of a panel of melanoma cells to the b1-activating antibody TS2/16 rendered such cells more susceptible to adenovirus infection. This increase in adenoviral infectivity paralleled effects on cell adhe...
متن کاملCD147 (Extracellular Matrix Metalloproteinase Inducer-EMMPRIN) Expression by Human Articular Chondrocytes
Background: Integrins are a family of transmembrane proteins that allow communication between the extracellular matrix and the interior of cells. Chondrocytes, cells of articular cartilage, express integrins and these molecules appear to have a variety of roles including mechanotransduction. Integrins are known to associate with a number of accessory molecules such as CD147 that may act to regu...
