Ligand-competent fractalkine receptor is expressed on exosomes

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2021
Expression of chemokine receptor CX3CR1 is reportedly restricted to several cell types including natural killer cells, cytotoxic T cells, monocytes, and macrophages.

The Spike Glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 Binds to β1 Integrins Expressed on the Surface of Lung Epithelial Cells

Viruses, 2021
The spike glycoprotein attached to the envelope of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) binds to and exploits angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as an entry receptor to infect pulmonary epithelial cells.

Targeted remodeling of breast cancer and immune cell homing niches by exosomal integrins

Diagnostic Pathology, 2020
Exosomes represent an important subset of extracellular vesicles involved in inter-cellular communications in health and diseases. Exosomes secreted from cancer and immune cells travel to the specific tissues containing homing niches.

Conformational flexibility determines the Nf2/merlin tumor suppressor functions

Matrix Biology Plus, 2021
The Neurofibromatosis type 2 gene encodes the Nf2/merlin tumor suppressor protein that is responsible for the regulation of cell proliferation. Once activated, Nf2/merlin modulates adhesive signaling pathways and thereby inhibits cell growth.

Cell Adhesion by Integrins [PDF]

Physiological Reviews, 2019
Integrins are heterodimeric cell surface receptors ensuring the mechanical connection between cells and the extracellular matrix. In addition to the anchorage of cells to the extracellular matrix, these receptors have critical functions in intracellular signaling, but are also taking center stage in many physiological and pathological conditions.

Cell Adhesion at the Tight Junctions: New Aspects and New Functions

Cells, 2023
Tight junctions (TJ) are cell–cell adhesive structures that define the permeability of barrier-forming epithelia and endothelia. In contrast to this seemingly static function, TJs display a surprisingly high molecular complexity and unexpected dynamic ...

Sharpin suppresses β1-integrin activation by complexing with the β1 tail and kindlin-1

Cell Communication and Signaling, 2019
Background Previously sharpin has been identified as an endogenous inhibitor of β1-integrin activation by directly binding to a conserved region in the cytoplasmic tails (CTs) of the integrin β1-associated α subunits. Methods Here we employed biochemical

Integrin-Ligand Interactions in Inflammation, Cancer, and Metabolic Disease: Insights Into the Multifaceted Roles of an Emerging Ligand Irisin

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Integrins are transmembrane proteins that mediate cellular adhesion and migration to neighboring cells or the extracellular matrix, which is essential for cells to undertake diverse physiological and pathological pathways.

Vinculin and Cell-Cell Adhesion [PDF]

Cell Adhesion and Communication, 1998
Vinculin, a 117-kDa protein, is a constituent of adhesion plaques and adherence junctions in non-muscle cells. We investigated the role of vinculin on the physical strength of cell-cell adhesion by conducting disaggregation assays on aggregates of parental wild-type F9 mouse embryonal carcinoma cells (clone BIM), two vinculin-depleted F9 cell lines ...

Circulating LPS from gut microbiota leverages stenosis-induced deep vein thrombosis in mice

Thrombosis Journal, 2023
Objective and design An accumulating body of evidence has shown that gut microbiota is involved in regulating inflammation; however, it remains undetermined if and how gut microbiota plays an important role in modulating deep venous thrombosis (DVT ...
