MOLECULAR BIOLOGY OF THE EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX PROTEINS
Biological Reviews, 1988Summary1. Extracellular matrices are organized networks of diverse macromolecules, secreted and deposited in the vicinity of cells. They not only play structural roles but are also involved in dynamic processes such as cell migration and differentiation, embryo development, wound healing and cancerous transformation.

Binding of extracellular matrix proteins by lactobacilli
Folia Microbiologica, 2001Ten gut and ten vaginal Lactobacillus strains were investigated for their ability to bind type I collagen (Cn-I) and four selected gut lactobacilli were investigated for their binding to other extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules. Immobilized Cn-I (100 mg/L) in wells of microtitre plates was bound by all 10 autoaggregating vaginal strains and by 3 ...

Extracellular matrix proteins and leukocyte function
Journal of Leukocyte Biology, 1995Abstract Extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins profoundly affect physiological functioning at the cellular level. Cell growth and differentiation, as well as cell shape and migration via the cytoskeleton, are all affected by ECM proteins.

Interactions of bacteria with extracellular matrix proteins
Cell Differentiation and Development, 1990Cell adhesion is a critical factor in microbial life. For commensal or saprophytic bacteria, attachment is a question of survival, while in pathogenic bacteria adherence to a particular site may initiate an infection. In addition to nonspecific forces, which seem to play some role, adhesion of bacteria is predominantly dependent upon specific ...

Binding of Extracellular Matrix Proteins by Enterococci
Current Microbiology, 1997Forty-four enterococcal strains isolated from human clinical specimens were investigated for binding of 125I-labeled fibronectin, vitronectin, thrombospondin, lactoferrin, and collagen type I and IV, and for cell surface hydrophobicity. Most strains expressed low binding of iodine-labeled human fibronectin, collagen I and IV, and higher binding of ...

Binding of Enterococci to Extracellular Matrix Proteins
1997Enterococci are a frequent cause of a wide variety of infections in humans. A rational approach to the control of these infections requires an understanding of enterococcal pathogenicity. Adherence of bacteria to host tissues is generally an early step in the establishment of many infections.

Nonlinear optical imaging of extracellular matrix proteins
2018Over the last 2 decades, nonlinear imaging methods such as multiharmonic imaging microscopy (MHIM) have become powerful approaches for the label-free visualization of biological structures. Multiharmonic signals are generated when an intense electromagnetic field propagates through a sample that either has a specific molecular orientation or exhibits ...

Adhesion of endothelial cells to extracellular matrix proteins
Journal of Cellular Physiology, 1983AbstractHuman and bovine endothelial cells were used in a series of studies examining cell adhesion to extracellular matrix macromolecules. Collagen types I and III, an acetic acid extract of bovine lens capsule basement membrane, laminin, and fibronectin were demonstrated to affect, in varying degrees, cell adhesion, cell growth, and “sprout cell ...

Extracellular matrix proteins in glomerulonephritis
2000The aim of this study was to elucidate the distribution of extracellular matrix(ECM)proteins in glomeruli and renal interstitium in various forms of glomerulonephritis(GN).Interstitial fibrosis is the best sole prognostic factor for all histological forms of GN, except for rapidoprogressive GN.There is a statistically significant positive correlation ...

Degradation of extracellular matrix proteins by hemorrhagic metalloproteinases
Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1989The proteolytic activity of four hemorrhagic metalloproteinases (Ht-a, c, d, and e) isolated from the venom of the Western diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox) was investigated using isolated extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. We determined that all of the proteinases are capable of cleaving fibronectin, laminin, type IV collagen, nidogen ...
