Expression and function of cell adhesion molecules during neural crest migration.
Neural crest cells are highly migratory cells that give rise to many derivatives including peripheral ganglia, craniofacial structures and melanocytes. Neural crest cells migrate along defined pathways to their target sites, interacting with each other and their environment as they migrate. Cell adhesion molecules are critical during this process. In this review we discuss the expression and fu...
متن کاملCell-adhesion and substrate-adhesion molecules: their instructive roles in neural crest cell migration.
The individualization of crest cells from the neural folds and neural tube involves distinct mechanisms affecting both the tissue shape and the cell environment. Though these mechanisms are not fully understood at the molecular level, the analysis of the distribution of several molecules reported to promote intercellular contacts indicates a correlation between cell detachment from the neurepit...
متن کاملRole of the extracellular matrix during neural crest cell migration
Development of the neural crest involves a remarkable feat of coordinated cell migration in which cells detach from the neural tube, take varying routes of migration through the embryonic tissues and then differentiate at the end of their journey to participate in the formation of a number of organ systems. In general, neural crest cells appear to migrate without the guidance of long-range phys...
متن کاملAdhesion molecules in skeletogenesis: I. Transient expression of neural cell adhesion molecules (NCAM) in osteoblasts during endochondral and intramembranous ossification.
We report that neural cell adhesion molecules (NCAM) are expressed transiently in developing chicken osteoblasts during osteogenesis using immunostaining on cryostat sections. NCAM is strongly expressed in most osteoblasts along bone trabeculae that coincide with the presence of collagen I and alkaline phosphatase activity. In endochondral ossification, NCAM is highly expressed in osteogenic bu...
متن کاملGSK3 and Polo-like kinase regulate ADAM13 function during cranial neural crest cell migration
ADAMs are cell surface metalloproteases that control multiple biological processes by cleaving signaling and adhesion molecules. ADAM13 controls cranial neural crest (CNC) cell migration both by cleaving cadherin-11 to release a promigratory extracellular fragment and by controlling expression of multiple genes via its cytoplasmic domain. The latter activity is regulated by γ-secretase cleavage...
