Selective binding affinity of human plasma fibronectin for the collagens I-IV.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The binding of plasma fibronectin to the collagens I, II, and III was greater in a cohort of glaucoma patients. In contrast, binding of plasma fibronectin to collagen type IV was less in 39 glaucoma patients than in any of 3 other diagnostic categories, including 92 patients that were normal, cataract, and glaucoma suspect patients. This observation may have significance in further understanding the control of aqueous outflow resistance in glaucoma and nonglaucoma patients.

Affinity of fibronectin to collagens of different genetic types and to fibrinogen
Fibronectin, a fibroblast surface protein, was purified from human and chicken plasma and extracts of cultured chicken fibroblasts with affinity chromatography on gelatin coupled to Sepharose particles. A fibronectin-like protein was also isolated from the plasma of Torpedo fish. The collagen binding properties of fibronectin were studied with several genetically distinct collagens. Heat denatu...
متن کاملIntestinal epithelial cells preferentially attach to a biomatrix derived from human intestinal mucosa.
Primary intestinal epithelial cells have a very short lifespan in vitro when cultured free of mucosal elements. Support of the basal plasma membrane by a more natural substrate may thus enhance the initiation of primary cell cultures. A cell free biomatrix consisting of native interstitial collagens, basement membrane fragments and microfibrils was extracted from the lamina propria of human int...
متن کاملFibronectin-collagen binding and requirement during cellular adhesion.
Fibronectin isolated from human plasma and from the extracellular matrices of cell monolayers mediates the attachment in vitro and spreading of trypsin-treated cells on a collagen substratum. Fibronectin-dependent kinetics of cellular attachment to collagen were studied for several adherent cell types. It was shown that trypsin-treated human umbilical-cord cells, mouse sarcoma CMT81 cells, endo...
متن کاملSerum enhancement of human endothelial cell attachment to and spreading on collagens I and IV does not require serum fibronectin or vitronectin.
The initial attachment and spreading of endothelial cells from human umbilical artery onto type I collagen, type IV collagen or gelatin substrata was shown to be enhanced by inclusion of serum in the culture medium. To test whether this serum effect was mediated by adsorption of serum fibronectin or vitronectin onto the collagen, these adhesive glycoproteins were selectively removed from the se...
متن کاملPreparation of Plasminogen by Affinity Chromatography
Background: Plasminogen is one of the compounds derived from human plasma. Activation of plasminogen produces plasmin. Plasmin is able to lyse fibrinogen, fibrin, and some other human plasma proteins. The aim of the present work was to study the separation of human plasminogen by affinity chromatography using gel lysine Sepharose. Materials and Methods: Normal human plasma was used as the...
