Adhesion molecules of immunoglobulin gene superfamily in stroke.
Stroke-induced inflammatory reaction leads to the accumulation of leukocytes in the brain ischaemic region, where they exert a detrimental effect--promotion and extension of cerebral damage. Intracerebral infiltration of peripheral blood leukocytes requires prior endothelial-leukocyte interactions that are mediated by such cell surface proteins as adhesion molecules. Among adhesion molecules, i...
متن کاملReciprocal Interactions between Cell Adhesion Molecules of the Immunoglobulin Superfamily and the Cytoskeleton in Neurons
Cell adhesion molecules of the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) including the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) and members of the L1 family of neuronal cell adhesion molecules play important functions in the developing nervous system by regulating formation, growth and branching of neurites, and establishment of the synaptic contacts between neurons. In the mature brain, members of IgSF re...
متن کاملThe Role of Immunoglobulin Superfamily Cell Adhesion Molecules in Cancer Metastasis
Metastasis is a major clinical problem and results in a poor prognosis for most cancers. The metastatic pathway describes the process by which cancer cells give rise to a metastatic lesion in a new tissue or organ. It consists of interconnecting steps all of which must be successfully completed to result in a metastasis. Cell-cell adhesion is a key aspect of many of these steps. Adhesion molecu...
متن کاملCellular signalling mechanisms of neural cell adhesion molecules.
Neural cell adhesion molecules of the immunoglobulin superfamily are multidomain proteins involved in important cellular events pertinent to development and adult neurological function. This review attempts to give a concise overview of the complex intracellular signaling pathways enabling neural cell adhesion molecules NCAM and L1 to regulate axon growth, guidance, and synaptic plasticity. Rec...
متن کاملStructure and function of primitive immunoglobulin superfamily neural cell adhesion molecules: a lesson from studies on planarian.
Precise wiring and proper remodeling of the neural network are essential for its normal function. The freshwater planarian is an attractive animal in which to study the formation and maintenance of the neural network due to its high regenerative capability and developmental plasticity. Although a recent study revealed that homologs of netrin and its receptors are required for regeneration and m...
