Vimentin

1999
Abstract The expression of vimentin is developmentally regulated. Analyses of the vimentin gene structure indicate the presence of both positively and negatively regulated elements. In adult tissues, vimentin is mainly expressed in cells of mesenchymal origin.

Tetracycline regulated expression of vimentin in fibroblasts derived from vimentin null mice

Journal of Cell Science, 1997
ABSTRACT Fibroblast cell lines were derived from vim−/− mice that express a mouse vimentin transgene in a tetracycline regulatable manner. Vimentin null mouse primary embryo fibroblasts were transformed with SV-40 early genes and vim− cell lines were isolated.

Vimentin antibody production in transplant patients and immunomodulatory effects of vimentin in-vitro

Human Immunology, 2013
We investigated the presence of antibodies to vimentin in 150 patients awaiting transplant, (50 kidney, 50 liver and 50 thoracic) and in 51 previously transplanted kidney patients whose grafts had failed. Patients with primary end stage thoracic or kidney disease did not have increased levels of vimentin antibodies, but those with primary liver failure

Vimentin‐positive adenocarcinomas of the stomach: co‐expression of vimentin and cytokeratin

Histopathology, 1996
Recently, the expression of vimentin has been reported in some carcinomas. This study was designed to clarify the significance of vimentin expression in solid type poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas of the stomach. Immunohistochemically, 239 poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas with solid components of the stomach were stained for vimentin ...

Mechanics of vimentin intermediate filaments

2003
It is increasingly evident that the cytoskeleton of living cells plays important roles in mechanical and biological functions of the cells. Here we focus on the contribution of intermediate filaments (IFs) to the mechanical behaviors of living cells. Vimentin, a major structural component of IFs in many cell types, is shown to play an important role in

Sphingolipids inhibit vimentin-dependent cell migration

Journal of Cell Science, 2015
ABSTRACT The sphingolipids, sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) and sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC), can induce or inhibit cellular migration. The intermediate filament protein vimentin is an inducer of migration and a marker for epithelial–mesenchymal transition.

Vimentin is secreted by activated macrophages

Nature Cell Biology, 2002
Vimentin is a widely expressed intermediate filament protein thought to be involved mainly in structural processes, such as wound healing. We now demonstrate that activated human macrophages secrete vimentin into the extracellular space. The maturation of blood-derived monocytes into macrophages involves several signalling pathways.

Vimentin intermediate filaments in fish melanophores

Journal of Cell Science, 1987
ABSTRACT The distribution and chemical composition of intermediate filaments in cultured melanophores of two teleost species -Gymnocorymbus ternetzi and Pterophyllum scalare -were studied by immunofluorescence staining and immunoblotting techniques.

Plectin-vimentin interaction

2008
Das Cytolinkerprotein Plectin spielt bei der Aufrechterhaltung der Integrität des Zytoskeletts eine entscheidende Rolle, indem es Intermediärfilamente (IFs) mit anderen zytoskelettären Netzwerksystemen verbindet und diese an der Plasmamembran verankert. Weiters dient es als strukturelles Grundgerüst für Signalkaskaden und dürfte ebenfalls eine Funktion
