Focal adhesion kinase signaling is decreased in polyamine-depleted IEC-6 cells.
Polyamines are essential to the migration of epithelial cells in the intestinal mucosa. Cells depleted of polyamines do not attach as rapidly to the extracellular matrix and do not form the actin stress fibers essential for migration. Because both attachment and stress fiber formation depend on integrin signaling and the formation of focal adhesions, we examined these and related processes in p...
متن کاملMicroglial Activation in Rat Experimental Spinal Cord Injury Model
Background: The present study was designed to evaluate the secondary microglial activation processes after spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods: A quantitative histological study was performed to determine ED-1 positive cells, glial cell density, and cavitation size in untreated SCI rats at days 1, 2, and 4, and weeks 1, 2, 3, and 4. Results: The results of glial cell quantification along the 4900...
متن کاملSignaling through focal adhesion kinase.
Integrin receptor binding to extracellular matrix proteins generates intracellular signals via enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation events that are important for cell growth, survival, and migration. This review will focus on the functions of the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) protein-tyrosine kinase (PTK) and its role in linking integrin receptors to intracellular signaling pathways. FAK associates ...
متن کاملFocal adhesion kinase in integrin-mediated signaling.
Integrins serve as adhesion receptors for extracellular matrix proteins and also transduce biochemical signals into the cell. These signaling events regulate such cellular processes as proliferation, apoptosis, migration and spreading. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is an important protein tyrosine kinase which mediates several integrin signaling pathways. Putative mechanisms of integrin-mediated ...
