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

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.

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 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

[Expression of vimentin in the lenses of vimentin transgenic mice].

Yan ke xue bao = Eye science, 2004
To observe the expression of vimentin in the lenses of vimentin transgenic mice and investigate the role of vimentin in the formation of cataract.The 12.7 kb chicken vimentin genes were microinjected into the male pronuclei of ICR mice. The injected embryos were transferred to the pseudopregnant recipient females and then generated several transgenic ...

Molecular modeling of vimentin filament assembly

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Genetics, 1996
Intermediate-filament forming proteins are known to form rod-shaped dimers that are calculated to be 45 nm in length. Molecular modeling indicates that the dimerization is promoted by interchain hydrophobic interactions between sections of alpha helix and beta helix.

Vimentin and lipid metabolism.

Sub-cellular biochemistry, 1999
Vimentin IFs form close associations with the lipid droplets that are characteristic of adipose and steroidogenic cells. There is good evidence that changes in vimentin expression or organization can alter the metabolism of specific lipid components in cultured preadipose and adrenal cell lines. However, the effect of vimentin on triglyceride stability
