The Phosphoinositide-Binding Protein ZF21 Regulates ECM Degradation by Invadopodia
During the process of tumor invasion, cells require footholds on extracellular matrices (ECM) that are created by forming focal adhesions (FAs) using integrins. On the other hand, cells must degrade the ECM barrier using extracellular proteases including MMPs in the direction of cell movement. Degradation occurs at the leading edges or invadopodia of cells, which are enriched in proteases and a...
متن کاملEPLIN regulates actin dynamics by cross-linking and stabilizing filaments
Epithelial protein lost in neoplasm (EPLIN) is a cytoskeleton-associated protein encoded by a gene that is down-regulated in transformed cells. EPLIN increases the number and size of actin stress fibers and inhibits membrane ruffling induced by Rac. EPLIN has at least two actin binding sites. Purified recombinant EPLIN inhibits actin filament depolymerization and cross-links filaments in bundle...
متن کاملChemical cross linking versus high energy electron beam cross linking of HDPE: electrical properties study
Cross linking of high density polyethylene (HDPE) was first performed via high energy10 Mev electron beam (EB) irradiation. HDPE was also cross linked withDicumyle peroxide (DCP).The gel content of samples was determined by solvent extraction.Degree of cross linking was evaluated by hot set apparatus; as well .In order to clarify the effectof nature of cross linking, correlation of electrical p...
متن کاملTransglutaminase 2 cross-linking activity is linked to invadopodia formation and cartilage breakdown in arthritis
INTRODUCTION The microenvironment surrounding inflamed synovium leads to the activation of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs), which are important contributors to cartilage destruction in rheumatoid arthritic (RA) joints. Transglutaminase 2 (TG2), an enzyme involved in extracellular matrix (ECM) cross-linking and remodeling, is activated by inflammatory signals. This study was undertaken to as...
متن کاملThe Cytoskeletal Adapter Protein Spinophilin Regulates Invadopodia Dynamics and Tumor Cell Invasion in Glioblastoma.
Glioblastoma is a primary brain cancer that is resistant to all treatment modalities. This resistance is due, in large part, to invasive cancer cells that disperse from the main tumor site, escape surgical resection, and contribute to recurrent secondary lesions. The adhesion and signaling mechanisms that drive glioblastoma cell invasion remain enigmatic, and as a result there are no effective ...
