The distribution of tenascin-X is distinct and often reciprocal to that of tenascin-C
We have isolated a cDNA encoding mouse tenascin-X (TN-X), a new member of the family of tenascin genes. The TN-X gene lies in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class III region, as it is the case for its human counterpart. On Northern blots we detected a TN-X mRNA of approximately 13 kb in most tissues analyzed, whereas in various mouse cell lines mRNAs of approximately 11 and 13 kb we...
متن کاملImmunosuppression via Tenascin-C
Metastasis accounts for most of the prostate cancer-related deaths, and the presence of more than two metastatic lymph nodes at radical prostatectomy and extended pelvic lymph node (PLN) dissection is an independent predictor of prostate cancer specific mortality [1], thus suggesting that PLN invasion is an important event in the history of the disease. However, despite its clinical significanc...
متن کاملAbdominal aortic aneurysm is associated with high serum levels of tenascin-X and decreased aneurysmal tissue tenascin-X.
BACKGROUND Tenascin-X is a large extracellular matrix protein that is abundantly expressed in several connective tissues. A 140-kDa C-terminal fragment of tenascin-X is present in human serum. Complete deficiency of tenascin-X is associated with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and these patients show major connective tissue alterations in their skin, as well as blood vessel fragility. In this study, we...
متن کاملEctopic expression of tenascin-C.
We read, with much interest, the recent Research Article by Järvinen et al. (Järvinen et al., 2003), in which the authors show that, after removing the cast from an immobilized rat hind leg, within 8 weeks tenascin-C (TN-C) expression is increased in tendon and the myotendinous junction, but there is no de novo appearance of TN-C in skeletal muscle connective tissue. The authors extensively cri...
متن کاملTenascin-C and integrins in cancer
Tenascin-C (TNC) is highly expressed in cancer tissues. Its cellular sources are cancer and stromal cells, including fibroblasts/myofibroblasts, and also vascular cells. TNC expressed in cancer tissues dominantly contains large splice variants. Deposition of the stroma promotes the epithelial-mesenchymal transition, proliferation, and migration of cancer cells. It also facilitates the formation...
