Carbohydrate Heterogeneity of Fibronectins
Large quantities of fibronectin (Fn) are present in inflammatory synovial fluid. Inflammatory synovial fluid Fn, while indistinguishable from plasma Fn on the basis of reactivity to polyclonal antibodies, displays alterations in molecular size and charge. Since biochemical differences between plasma and synovial fluid fibronectins might be in part due to differences in glycosylation we have com...
متن کاملFibronectins: multifunctional modular glycoproteins
Fibronectins are large glycoproteins that have been implicated in a wide variety of cellular properties, particularly those involving the interactions of cells with extracellular materials. These properties include cell adhesion, morphology, cytoskeletal organization, migration, differentiation, oncogenic transformation, phagocytosis, and hemostasis. During the past several years, investigation...
متن کاملCell signalling during vascular morphogenesis.
Vascular tissue in plants is unique due to its diverse and dynamic cellular patterns. Through research in several organisms, such as Arabidopsis, Populus and Zinnia, using biochemical, genetic and genomic approaches, significant progress has recently been made in revealing the molecular nature of several signals underlying the patterning of vascular tissue. These signals include ligands, recept...
متن کاملSignaling vascular morphogenesis and maintenance.
Blood vessels are constructed by two processes: vasculogenesis, whereby a primitive vascular network is established during embryogenesis from multipotential mesenchymal progenitors, and angiogenesis, in which preexisting vessels (both in embryo and adult) send out capillary sprouts to produce new vessels (1-3). Endothelial cells are centrally involved in each process: They migrate and prolifera...
متن کاملRole of vascular endothelial-cadherin in vascular morphogenesis.
Vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin is an adhesive transmembrane protein specifically expressed at interendothelial junctions. Its extracellular domain exhibits Ca2+-dependent homophilic reactivity, promoting cell-cell recognition. Mice deficient in VE-cadherin die at mid-gestation resulting from severe vascular defects. At the early phases of vascular development (E8.5) of VE-cadherin-deficient...
