Hox Transcription Factors: Modulators of Cell-Cell and Cell-Extracellular Matrix Adhesion
Hox genes encode homeodomain-containing transcription factors that determine cell and tissue identities in the embryo during development. Hox genes are also expressed in various adult tissues and cancer cells. In Drosophila, expression of cell adhesion molecules, cadherins and integrins, is regulated by Hox proteins operating in hierarchical molecular pathways and plays a crucial role in segmen...
متن کاملLaminins — extracellular modulators of stem cell and cell lineage behavior
The laminins are a family of large basement membrane proteins that influence cell differentiation, adhesion, migration, and phenotype stability. They are heterotrimeric glycoproteins that exist in at least 16 different chain combinations of α, β and γ chains. The different isoforms have highly cell and tissue specific locations and specific biological roles in respective tissues. We have produc...
متن کاملClara cell adhesion and migration to extracellular matrix
BACKGROUND Clara cells are the epithelial progenitor cell of the small airways, a location known to be important in many lung disorders. Although migration of alveolar type II and bronchiolar ciliated epithelial cells has been examined, the migratory response of Clara cells has received little attention. METHODS Using a modification of existing procedures for Clara cell isolation, we examined...
متن کاملIntroduction: Cell adhesion and extracellular matrix molecules in synaptic plasticity.
This issue of Neuron Glia Biology contains a special collection of original research papers and reviews on the role of cell adhesion and extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules in synaptic plasticity. These molecules are crucially required for building and maintaining synaptic structure during brain development and there is increasing evidence that they also play important roles in modulating dist...
