Fibronectin promotes tumor angiogenesis and progression of non-small-cell lung cancer by elevating WISP3 expression via FAK/MAPK/ HIF-1α axis and activating wnt signaling pathway

Experimental Hematology & Oncology, 2023
Background Fibronectin, an extracellular matrix protein, has been reported to be associated with heterogeneous cancer stemness, angiogenesis and progression in multiple cancer types.

Adhesion Characteristics of Human Pancreatic Islets, Duct Epithelial Cells, and Acinar Cells to a Polymer Scaffold

Cell Transplantation, 2022
We reported in 2018 that among several extracellular matrices, fibronectin, type I collagen, type IV collagen, laminin I, fibrinogen, and bovine serum albumin, fibronectin is particularly useful for adhesion of porcine pancreatic tissue. Subsequently, we

Fibronectin protects from excessive liver fibrosis by modulating the availability of and responsiveness of stellate cells to active TGF-β. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Fibrotic tissue in the liver is mainly composed of collagen. Fibronectin, which is also present in fibrotic matrices, is required for collagen matrix assembly in vitro. It also modulates the amount of growth factors and their release from the matrix.

Engineered Biomimetic Fibrillar Fibronectin Matrices Regulate Cell Adhesion Initiation, Migration, and Proliferation via α5β1 Integrin and Syndecan‐4 Crosstalk

Advanced Science, 2023
Cells regulate adhesion to the fibrillar extracellular matrix (ECM) of which fibronectin is an essential component. However, most studies characterize cell adhesion to globular fibronectin substrates at time scales long after cells polarize and migrate ...

Candida albicans Adhesion Measured by Optical Nanomotion Detection

Fermentation, 2023
Cellular adhesion plays an important role in numerous fundamental physiological and pathological processes. Its measurement is relatively complex, requires sophisticated equipment, and, in most cases, cannot be carried out without breaking the links ...

Fibronectin in human gallbladder bile: cholesterol pronucleating and/or mucin "link" protein? [PDF]

, 1994
Some biliary proteins (pronucleators) seem to be essential factors for cholesterol crystal formation and crystal growth in bile. A recent study suggests that fibronectin is such a pronucleator in bile.

Fibronectin aggregates promote features of a classically and alternatively activated phenotype in macrophages

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2018
Background Means to promote endogenous remyelination in multiple sclerosis (MS) benefit from insights into the role of inhibitory molecules that preclude remyelination.

Circulating Fibronectin Controls Tumor Growth

Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2013
Fibronectin is ubiquitously expressed in the extracellular matrix, and experimental evidence has shown that it modulates blood vessel formation. The relative contribution of local and circulating fibronectin to blood vessel formation in vivo remains ...

Cell surface localization of tissue transglutaminase is dependent on a fibronectin-binding site in its N-terminal beta-sandwich domain [PDF]

, 1999
Increasing evidence indicates that tissue transglutaminase (tTG) plays a role in the assembly and remodeling of extracellular matrices and promotes cell adhesion.

Matrix Gla Protein Binds to Fibronectin and Enhances Cell Attachment and Spreading on Fibronectin

International Journal of Cell Biology, 2014
Background. Matrix Gla protein (MGP) is a vitamin K-dependent, extracellular matrix protein. MGP is a calcification inhibitor of arteries and cartilage.
