Intracellular Processing of Metalloprotease Disintegrin ADAM12 [PDF]
ADAM12 has been implicated in cell-cell interactions in myogenesis and cancer, but the structure of the mature form of ADAM12 is not known, and its localization on the cell surface has been questioned. In this report, we show that full-length ADAM12 is N-glycosylated in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and proteolytically processed in the trans-Golgi ...

Disintegrin targeting of an αvβ3 integrin-over-expressing high-metastatic human osteosarcoma with echistatin inhibits cell proliferation, migration, invasion and adhesion in vitro. [PDF]
The in vitro efficacy of the disintegrin echistatin was tested on a high-metastatic variant of 143B human osteosarcoma, 143B-LM4, which over-expresses αvβ3 integrin. Echistatin is an RGD cyclic peptide and an antagonist of αvβ3 integrin.

Macrophage-released ADAMTS1 promotes muscle stem cell activation. [PDF]
Coordinated activation of muscle stem cells (known as satellite cells) is critical for postnatal muscle growth and regeneration. The muscle stem cell niche is central for regulating the activation state of satellite cells, but the specific extracellular ...

ADAM15 modulates outside-in signalling in chondrocyte–matrix interactions [PDF]
ADAM15 belongs to a family of transmembrane multi-domain proteins implicated in proteolysis, cell–cell and cell–matrix interactions in various disease conditions.

Disintegrin-metalloproteinase 15(ADAM15), a member of disintegrin metalloproteinases (ADAMs), plays important roles in various cancer types. However, the underlying ADAM15 functioning in lung cancer is still unclear.

Integrins are plasma membrane proteins, dysfunction frequently result in cancer pathology, so they represent important targets of anti-tumor therapy. Snake venoms are known source of disintegrins (Dis), proteins that specifically bind integrins and thus ...

The Regulation of Aggrecanase ADAMTS-4 Expression in Human Achilles Tendon and tendon-Derived Cells [PDF]
Several members of the ADAMTS (A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase with ThromboSpondin motifs) family have been identified as aggrecanases, whose substrates include versican, the principal large proteoglycan in the tendon extracellular matrix.

Gene expression and matrix turnover in overused and damaged tendons [PDF]
Chronic, painful conditions affecting tendons, frequently known as tendinopathy, are very common types of sporting injury. The tendon extracellular matrix is substantially altered in tendinopathy, and these changes are thought to precede and underlie the
