Expression of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) isoforms in neuroblastoma.
A comparative study on the expression of the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) in human neuroblastoma cell lines and tissues was undertaken. NCAMs are a family of closely related cell surface glycoproteins involved in cell-cell interactions. Using antibodies that recognise distinct epitopes on NCAM, their presence was shown in neuroblastoma, but these studies do not yield any information on ...
متن کاملNeural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) and myoblast fusion.
Considerable evidence points to an involvement of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) in myoblast fusion. Changes in the level of NCAM expression, isoform specificity, and localization in muscle cells and tissues correspond to key morphogenetic events during muscle differentiation and repair. Furthermore, anti-NCAM antibodies have been shown by others to reduce the rate of myoblast fusion, whe...
متن کاملDifferential expression of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) after tenotomy in rabbit skeletal muscle.
Tenotomy is a commonly encountered event in orthopaedic surgery. In 23 rabbit extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles, within 24 h after tenotomy, a marked drop in maximum force production occurred. This was not explainable based on architectural changes and histological examination using standard markers for muscle injury, i.e., haematoxylin and eosin morphology, developmental myosin heavy cha...
متن کاملDifferential expression of the neural cell adhesion molecule NCAM 140 in human pituitary tumors.
We have analyzed the expression of the intracellular marker protein neuron specific enolase (NSE), synaptophysin (SYN) and of the cell surface marker NCAM (neural cell adhesion molecule) in both normal hypophysis and in pituitary adenomas in order to explore their potential use as diagnostic tools. All adenomas (4 prolactinomas, 3 growth hormone (GH) producing adenomas and 4 inactive adenomas) ...
متن کاملChanges in neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) structure during vertebrate neural development.
Changes in carbohydrate and polypeptide form of the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) have been documented during the development of central nervous system tissue in both chicken and frog. The carbohydrate variations reflect a high and low content of polysialic acid, and for the two vertebrates examined the expression of these forms is similar. At very early stages of neural development NCAM...
