The Extracellular Matrix Protein 1 (ECM1) in Skin Biology: An Update for the Pleiotropic Action
Extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1) is a secreted glycoprotein that plays a pivotal role in the structural and homeostatic biology of the skin, particularly in angiogenesis, reconstitution of basement membrane, proliferation and differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts, and malignant transformation. This rationale is substantiated by loss-of-function mutations in the ...
متن کاملImportance of Extracellular Matrix Protein 1 (ECM1) in Maintaining the Functional Integrity of the Human Skin
The extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1) is an 85 kDa glycoprotein first identified in 1994. The threedimensional structure of ECM1 based on the third serum albumin domain was determined by in silico modelling in order to predict the most important binding site(s) of ECM1 with other protein partners in human skin. ECM1 consists of four domains: a first domain existing of -helices ( D1), the se...
متن کاملHuman Melanoma Cells Over-Express Extracellular Matrix 1 (ECM1) Which Is Regulated by TFAP2C
Extracellular matrix 1 (ECM1) is over-expressed in multiple epithelial malignancies. However, knowledge regarding the expression of ECM1 in melanomas and the mechanisms of ECM1 regulation is limited. In this study, we found that ECM1 is over-expressed in several melanoma cell lines, when compared to primary melanocytes, and furthermore, that ECM1 expression paralleled that of TFAP2C levels in m...
متن کاملN-Glycosylation of extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1) regulates its secretion, which is unrelated to lipoid proteinosis
Extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1) is expressed in a wide variety of tissues and plays important roles in extracellular matrix formation. Additionally, ECM1 gene mutations cause lipoid proteinosis (LP), a rare skin condition of genetic origin. However, an effective therapeutic approach of LP is not established. Here, we showed that ECM1 gene mutation observed in LP patients significantly sup...
متن کاملAutoantibodies to extracellular matrix protein 1 in lichen sclerosus.
BACKGROUND Lichen sclerosus is a common acquired inflammatory disorder of skin and mucous membranes. The aetiology is unknown, although HLA-subtype susceptibility and high rates of other autoimmune disorders suggest that autoantibodies to specific mucocutaneous antigens are involved. The clinicopathological similarities between lichen sclerosus and lipoid proteinosis, which results from mutatio...
