BMC Cell Biology, 2001 Background The first type III repeat of fibronectin is known to be involved in fibronectin matrix assembly, and recombinant proteins from this type III repeat can inhibit cell proliferation, tumor metastasis and angiogenesis. We have analyzed the way rat

A point mutation of integrin beta 1 subunit blocks binding of alpha 5 beta 1 to fibronectin and invasin but not recruitment to adhesion plaques. [PDF]
, 1992 A point mutation in a highly conserved region of the beta 1 subunit, Asp130 to Ala (D130A) substitution, abrogates the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-dependent binding of alpha 5 beta 1 to fibronectin (FN) without disrupting gross structure or heterodimer assembly ...

The integrin-ligand interaction regulates adhesion and migration through a molecular clutch. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Adhesive and migratory behavior can be cell type, integrin, and substrate dependent. We have compared integrin and substrate differences using three integrin receptors: α5β1, α6β1, and αLβ2 expressed in a common cell type, CHO.B2 cells, which lack ...

Distinct molecular interactions mediate neuronal process outgrowth on non-neuronal cell surfaces and extracellular matrices. [PDF]
, 1986 We have compared neurite outgrowth on extracellular matrix (ECM) constituents to outgrowth on glial and muscle cell surfaces. Embryonic chick ciliary ganglion (CG) neurons regenerate neurites rapidly on surfaces coated with laminin (LN), fibronectin (FN),

The lens as a model for fibrotic disease [PDF]
, 2011 Fibrosis affects multiple organs and is associated with hyperproliferation, cell transdifferentiation, matrix modification and contraction. It is therefore essential to discover the key drivers of fibrotic events, which in turn will facilitate the ...

Hypoxia regulates human mast cell adhesion to fibronectin via the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway
Cell Adhesion & Migration, 2020 A decrease in oxygen concentration is a hallmark of inflammatory reactions resulting from infection or homeostasis disorders. Mast cells interact with extracellular matrix and other cells by adhesion receptors.

The molecular regulation of oligodendrocyte development and CNS myelination by ECM proteins
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Oligodendrocytes are myelin-forming cells in the central nervous system (CNS). The development of oligodendrocytes is regulated by a large number of molecules, including extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins that are relatively less characterized. Here, we

CXCL16 and oxLDL are induced in the onset of diabetic nephropathy [PDF]
, 2009 Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major cause of end-stage renal failure worldwide. Oxidative stress has been reported to be a major culprit of the disease and increased oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxLDL) immune complexes were found in patients with ...

Myosin IIA and formin dependent mechanosensitivity of filopodia adhesion
Nature Communications, 2019 Fiolopodia are involved in cell migration and their attachment to the ECM is mediated by integrin receptors. Here the authors show that myosin X induced filipodia adhesion to fibronectin requires activity of myosin IIA at the filopodium base and formin ...
