α6β1 and α7β1 integrins are required in Schwann cells to sort axons.
During development, Schwann cells extend lamellipodia-like processes to segregate large- and small-caliber axons during the process of radial sorting. Radial sorting is a prerequisite for myelination and is arrested in human neuropathies because of laminin deficiency. Experiments in mice using targeted mutagenesis have confirmed that laminins 211, 411, and receptors containing the β1 integrin s...
متن کاملPromyelinating Schwann cells express Tst-1/SCIP/Oct-6.
Tst-1/SCIP/Oct-6, a POU domain transcription factor, is transiently expressed by developing Schwann cells and is required for their normal development into a myelinating phenotype. In tst-1/scip/oct-6-null sciatic nerves, Schwann cells are transiently arrested at the "promyelinating" stage, when they have a one-to-one relationship with an axon but before they have elaborated a myelin sheath. To...
متن کاملαV-Integrins Are Required for Mechanotransduction in MDCK Epithelial Cells
The properties of epithelial cells within tissues are regulated by their immediate microenvironment, which consists of neighboring cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM). Integrin heterodimers orchestrate dynamic assembly and disassembly of cell-ECM connections and thereby convey biochemical and mechanical information from the ECM into cells. However, the specific contributions and functional...
متن کاملCaveolin-1 expression in Schwann cells.
Caveolae are non-clathrin-coated invaginations of the plasma membrane, which are present in most cell types. An integral component of caveolae is the caveolin family of related proteins, which not only forms the structural framework of caveolae, but also likely subserves its functional roles, including regulation of signal transduction and cellular transport, in particular, cholesterol traffick...
متن کاملReelin, Disabled 1, and beta 1 integrins are required for the formation of the radial glial scaffold in the hippocampus.
The extracellular matrix molecule Reelin is required for the correct positioning of neurons during the development of the forebrain. However, the mechanism of Reelin action on neuronal migration is poorly understood. Reelin is assumed to act on neurons directly, but it may also affect the differentiation of glial cells necessary for neuronal migration. Here we show that a regular glial scaffold...
