متن کاملChanges in extracellular matrix (ECM) and ECM-associated proteins in the metastatic progression of prostate cancer
Prostate cancer (PCa) is no exception to the multi-step process of metastasis. As PCa progresses, changes occur within the microenvironments of both the malignant cells and their targeted site of metastasis, enabling the necessary responses that result in successful translocation. The majority of patients with progressing prostate cancers develop skeletal metastases. Despite advancing efforts i...
متن کاملThe ECM-Cell Interaction of Cartilage Extracellular Matrix on Chondrocytes
Cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) is composed primarily of the network type II collagen (COLII) and an interlocking mesh of fibrous proteins and proteoglycans (PGs), hyaluronic acid (HA), and chondroitin sulfate (CS). Articular cartilage ECM plays a crucial role in regulating chondrocyte metabolism and functions, such as organized cytoskeleton through integrin-mediated signaling via cell-mat...
متن کاملHuman trophoblast-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions in vitro: ECM thickness modulates morphology and proteolytic activity.
Trophoblast invasion of the uterine extracellular matrix, a critical process for human implantation and uteroplacental vascular development, is a striking example of controlled invasiveness. To examine cellular behavior relevant to this process, human trophoblasts were cultured on (i) Millicell filters prelayered with Matrigel and (ii) coverslips precoated with a gentle slope of Matrigel (Matri...
متن کاملECM signals ECM degradation
W hen Caroline Damsky moved her lab to the University of California, San Francisco, in 1985, she knew she would have an instant colleague in Zena Werb. There was a natural connection between their work. That connection would be refl ected in their discoveries, which delineated an integrin-mediated pathway from the extracellular matrix (ECM) outside the cell to the internal, gene-expressing life...
