Cell-cell interactions in regulating lung function.
Tight junction barrier formation and gap junctional communication are two functions directly attributable to cell-cell contact sites. Epithelial and endothelial tight junctions are critical elements of the permeability barrier required to maintain discrete compartments in the lung. On the other hand, gap junctions enable a tissue to act as a cohesive unit by permitting metabolic coupling and en...
متن کاملMechanisms regulating endothelial cell barrier function.
Endothelium forms a physical barrier that separates blood from tissue. Communication between blood and tissue occurs through the delivery of molecules and circulating substances across the endothelial barrier by directed transport either through or between cells. Inflammation promotes macromolecular transport by decreasing cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion and increasing centripetally directed...
متن کاملCell-cell interactions and the regulation of testis function.
Regulatory interactions have been shown to occur between all the testicular cell types considered. The paracrine factors mediating these interactions generally influence either cellular growth or differentiation. The regulation of cellular growth is essential in the developing testis and is required for the maintenance of spermatogenesis in the adult testis. The rapid rate of germinal cell prol...
متن کاملNovel Function for Integrins in Keratinocyte Cell-Cell Interactions
We have examined the expression, localization, and function of/$~ integrins on cultured human epidermal keratinocytes using polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies against the/~,, 0~2, 0~3, and 0~5 integrin subunits. The/3, polypeptide, common to all class 1 integrins, was localized primarily in areas of cell-cell contacts of cultured keratinocytes, as were or2 and t~3 polypeptides, suggesting a p...
متن کاملOpioid-somatostatin interactions in regulating cancer cell growth.
Opioids and somatostatin mediate their cellular effects through specific membrane receptors. Three major receptor classes (delta, mu and kappa) were identified for opioids, while for somatostatin, five different receptor classes (SSTR1-5) have been cloned. Through the interaction with their receptors, opioids and somatostatin exert their effects on cell growth, proliferation, differentiation an...
