Vimentin and Anti Vimentin Antibodies in Chagas' Disease [PDF]
Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2018 Background: Vimentin is a main structural protein of the cell, a component of intermediate cell filaments and immersed in cytoplasm. Vimentin is mimicked by some bacterial proteins and anti-vimentin antibodies occur in autoimmune cardiac disease, as ...

Vimentin in Bacterial Infections [PDF]
Cells, 2016 Despite well-studied bacterial strategies to target actin to subvert the host cell cytoskeleton, thus promoting bacterial survival, replication, and dissemination, relatively little is known about the bacterial interaction with other components of the ...

Vimentin: Regulation and pathogenesis [PDF]
Biochimie, 2022 Vimentin, an abundant cytoplasmic intermediate filament protein, is recognized for its important role in stabilizing intracellular structure. Vimentin has been recognized for its mechanical role in cell plasticity and stress absorbers. Additionally, the functions of vimentin, similar to all other cytoplasmic intermediate filaments, are correlated to ...

Small GTPases, 2011 Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a critical event in the induction of cell motility and increased survival both under physiological situations like wound healing and during development as well as in malignant cells undergoing invasion and metastasis.

A role for vimentin in Crohn disease [PDF]
Autophagy, 2012 Crohn disease (CD), one of the major chronic inflammatory bowel diseases, occurs anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract with discontinuous transmural inflammation. A number of studies have now demonstrated that genetic predisposition, environmental influences and a dysregulated immune response to the intestinal microflora are involved.

The Raf‐1 kinase associates with vimentin kinases and regulates the structure of vimentin filaments [PDF]
The FASEB Journal, 2000 ABSTRACT Using immobilized GST‐Raf‐1 as bait, we have isolated the intermediate filament protein vimentin as a Raf‐1‐associated protein. Vimentin coimmunoprecipitated and colocalized with Raf‐1 in fibroblasts. Vimentin was not a Raf‐1 substrate, but was phosphorylated by Raf‐1‐associated vimentin ki‐nases.

Vimentin takes a hike – Emerging roles of extracellular vimentin in cancer and wound healing [PDF]
Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2023 Vimentin is a cytoskeletal protein important for many cellular processes, including proliferation, migration, invasion, stress resistance, signaling, and many more. The vimentin-deficient mouse has revealed many of these functions as it has numerous severe phenotypes, many of which are found only following a suitable challenge or stress.

The Immunohistochemical Staining of Vimentin and E-Cadherin in Bladder Cancer Patients Infected with Hepatitis C Virus [PDF]
, 2023 The invasion and spread of cancer cells are two of the most notable characteristics of malignant tumors. Recent studies suggest that the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been linked to this significant occurrence.

Data_Sheet_1_Plasma Membrane Localization of CD36 Requires Vimentin Phosphorylation; A Mechanism by Which Macrophage Vimentin Promotes Atherosclerosis.PDF [PDF]
, 2022 Vimentin is a type III intermediate filament protein expressed in cells of mesenchymal origin. Vimentin has been thought to function mainly as a structural protein and roles of vimentin in other cellular processes have not been extensively studied.

Ophthalmic Research, 2009 The hydration of vimentin isolated from the cortex of bovine lenses was studied by thermal analysis. Differential scanning calorimetry between ––30, and 30°C provided the freezable water content, and thermogravimetric analysis up to 105°C yielded the total water content.
