Regulation by the extracellular matrix (ECM) of migration, motility, and adhesion of olfactory neurons and their precursors was studied in vitro. Neuronal cells of the embryonic olfactory epithelium (OE), which undergo extensive migration in the central nervous system during normal development, were shown to be highly migratory in culture as well. Migration of OE neuronal cells was strongly dep...
Laminins are important for Schwann cell basement membrane assembly and axonal function. In this study, we found that exogenous laminin-1, like neuromuscular laminins-2/4, formed two distinct extracellular matrices on Schwann cell surfaces, each facilitated by laminin polymerization. Assembly of one, a densely-distributed reticular matrix, was accompanied by a redistribution of cell-surface dyst...
The mechanisms by which tumor cells metastasize to bone are not well understood. We have investigated the role of the basement membrane glycoprotein, laminin, in bone metastasis, since antagonists to laminin have been shown to inhibit the formation of lung metastases. We studied the formation of osteolytic metastases caused by a human tumor which is known to cause osteolysis and hypercalcemia i...
TH17 cells enter tissues to facilitate pathogenic autoimmune responses, including multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the adhesion molecules involved in the unique migratory capacity of TH17 cells, into both inflamed and uninflamed tissues remain unclear. Herein, we characterize MCAM (CD146) as an adhesion molecule that defines human TH17 cells in the circulation; following in vitro restimulation...
PURPOSE To investigate the role of SPARC in the regulation of the expression and deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins in the lens capsule. METHODS Wild-type (SP+/+) and SPARC-null (SP-/-) mice of embryonic day (E)14 to 3 months of age were examined. Transcript levels of lens basement membrane (BM) components were analyzed by semiquantitative RT-PCR with mRNA from lens epithelia. ...
Cytokeratin 8 (CK8) and cytokeratin 19 (CK19) is a specific cytoskeletal component of simple epithelia, including bronchial epithelial cells. We hypothesized that CK8 or CK19 released from epithelial cells may bind to and cause damage to extracellular matrixes through binding of anti-CK8 or anti-CK19 autoantibodies. In the present study, bindings of recombinant human CK8 and CK19 to laminin (bo...
BACKGROUND Laminin receptors are involved in cell-extracellular matrix interactions in malignant cells that show invasion and metastasis. Hepatocellular carcinoma frequently shows early invasion into blood vessels, and intrahepatic and extrahepatic metastases. However, the role of laminin receptors in hepatocellular carcinoma is unknown. AIMS To examine the expression of mRNA for laminin rece...
Human embryonic skin fibroblasts have been shown to attach and spread on laminin substrates in the absence of protein synthesis and presence of fibronectin-depleted serum and anti-fibronectin antibodies. Rates of attachment and the type of spreading are virtually identical on fibronectin and laminin-coated substrates with the development of microfilament bundles and focal adhesions. Antibodies ...
Previous studies have shown that the expressions of the γ2 chain of laminin-5 and secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) play important roles in oncogenesis and the development of carcinoma. To assess the expressions of laminin-5 γ2 chain and SPARC in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and to clarify the prognostic significance of the expressions of laminin-5 γ2 chain and S...
Adhesion of Penicillium marneffei conidia to the extracellular matrix protein laminin via a sialic acid-dependent process has previously been demonstrated. This study describes the interaction of P. marneffei conidia with fibronectin and examines the relationship of this process to the recognition of laminin via conidia. Immunofluorescence microscopy demonstrated that fibronectin bound to the s...
