Human kallikrein 6 degrades extracellular matrix proteins and may enhance the metastatic potential of tumour cells.
Human kallikrein 6 (hK6), a trypsin-like serine protease, is a newly identified member of the kallikrein gene family. Its involvement in inflammatory CNS lesions and in demyelination has been reported. Recent work has suggested that expression of this enzyme is significantly elevated in patients with ovarian cancer. We have identified many tumour cell lines that secrete hK6, but its physiologic...
متن کاملNonlinear optical imaging of extracellular matrix proteins.
Over the last 2 decades, nonlinear imaging methods such as multiharmonic imaging microscopy (MHIM) have become powerful approaches for the label-free visualization of biological structures. Multiharmonic signals are generated when an intense electromagnetic field propagates through a sample that either has a specific molecular orientation or exhibits certain physical properties. It can provide ...
متن کاملExtracellular Matrix Proteins and Tumor Angiogenesis
Tumor development is a complex process that relies on interaction and communication between a number of cellular compartments. Much of the mass of a solid tumor is comprised of the stroma which is richly invested with extracellular matrix. Within this matrix are a host of matricellular proteins that regulate the expression and function of a myriad of proteins that regulate tumorigenic processes...
متن کاملPostmortem Changes in Muscle Extracellular Matrix Proteins
It has long been recognized that meat tenderness is related to both the components inside the muscle fibers (predominantly the myofibril) and the connective tissues surrounding the fibers (predominantly collagen). It has also been shown that the tenderness of meat increases with time of storage postmortem. Most work attempting to determine the mechanism of this postmortem tenderization has conc...
متن کاملExtracellular matrix proteins in hemostasis and thrombosis.
The adhesion and aggregation of platelets during hemostasis and thrombosis represents one of the best-understood examples of cell-matrix adhesion. Platelets are exposed to a wide variety of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins once blood vessels are damaged and basement membranes and interstitial ECM are exposed. Platelet adhesion to these ECM proteins involves ECM receptors familiar in other co...
