Structure of laminin substrate modulates cellular signaling for neuritogenesis.
Laminin, a major component of basement membranes, can self-assemble in vitro into a typical mesh-like structure, according to a mass-action-driven process. Previously, we showed that pH acidification dramatically increased the efficiency of laminin self-assembly, practically abolishing the necessity for a minimal protein concentration. Here we have characterized the morphologies of laminin matr...
متن کاملPlasminogen enhances neuritogenesis on laminin-1.
Proteins of the plasminogen activation system are broadly expressed throughout the nervous system, and key roles for these proteins in neuronal function have been demonstrated. Recent reports have established that plasminogen is synthesized in neuroendocrine tissues, making this protein and the proteolytic activity of the product of its activation, plasmin, available at sites separated anatomic...
متن کاملThe laminin receptor modulates granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor complex formation and modulates its signaling.
Basement membrane matrix proteins are known to up-regulate granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) signaling in neutrophils and mononuclear phagocytes, but the mechanisms involved are poorly understood. We used the intracellular portion of the alpha subunit of the GM-CSF receptor (alphaGMR) to search for interacting proteins and identified the 67-kDa laminin receptor (LR), a n...
متن کاملHsp27 modulates p53 signaling and suppresses cellular senescence.
The small heat shock protein Hsp27 is expressed at high levels in many tumors and provides protection against anticancer drugs. Here, we show that expression of recombinant Hsp27 at elevated levels leads to protection of MCF10A human mammary epithelial cells from doxorubicin. The protection was associated with suppression of the doxorubicin-induced senescence, where Hsp27 inhibited p53-mediated...
متن کاملSialic acid residues on astrocytes regulate neuritogenesis by controlling the assembly of laminin matrices.
In the developing nervous system migrating neurons and growing axons are guided by diffusible and/or substrate-bound cues, such as extracellular matrix-associated laminin. In a previous work we demonstrated that laminin molecules could self-assemble in two different manners, giving rise to matrices that could favor either neuritogenesis or proliferation of cortical precursor cells. We investiga...
