Cell-Cell Adhesions and Cell Contractility Are Upregulated upon Desmosome Disruption
Desmosomes are perturbed in a number of disease states - including genetic disorders, autoimmune and bacterial diseases. Here, we report unexpected changes in other cell-cell adhesion structures upon loss of desmosome function. We found that perturbation of desmosomes by either loss of the core desmosomal protein desmoplakin or treatment with pathogenic anti-desmoglein 3 (Dsg3) antibodies resul...
متن کاملPancreatic α-Cell Specific Deletion of Mouse Arx Leads to α-Cell Identity Loss
The specification and differentiation of pancreatic endocrine cell populations (α-, β-, δ, PP- and ε-cells) is orchestrated by a combination of transcriptional regulators. In the pancreas, Aristaless-related homeobox gene (Arx) is expressed first in the endocrine progenitors and then restricted to glucagon-producing α-cells. While the functional requirement of Arx in early α-cell specification ...
متن کامل1768 Loss of Stem Cell Function Upon
The earliest precursor cell or stem cell that populates the immunohemopoiet ic system in mammals must have a high proliferative potential. Stem cells can be transplanted by intravenous injections of single cell suspensions and can repopulate stem cell-depleted recipients (1, 2). Therefore, stem cells have been used to test the hypothesis that mammal ian aging is genetically programmed to cause ...
متن کاملVEGFR2 Translocates to the Nucleus to Regulate Its Own Transcription
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-2 (VEGFR2) is the major mediator of the angiogenic effects of VEGF. In addition to its well known role as a membrane receptor that activates multiple signaling pathways, VEGFR2 also has a nuclear localization. However, what VEGFR2 does in the nucleus is still unknown. In the present report we show that, in endothelial cells, nuclear VEGFR2 interacts w...
متن کاملAdducin: Ca++-dependent association with sites of cell-cell contact
Adducin is a protein recently purified from erythrocytes and brain that has properties in in vitro assays suggesting a role in assembly of a spectrin-actin lattice. This report describes the localization of adducin to plasma membranes of a variety of tissues and the discovery that adducin is concentrated at sites of cell-cell contact in the epithelial tissues where it is expressed. Adducin in t...
