Identification of candidate substrates for ectodomain shedding by the metalloprotease-disintegrin ADAM8.
ADAM proteases are type I transmembrane proteins with extracellular metalloprotease domains. As for most ADAM family members, ADAM8 (CD156a, MS2) is involved in ectodomain shedding of membrane proteins and is linked to inflammation and neurodegeneration. To identify potential substrates released under these pathologic conditions, we screened 10-mer peptides representing amino acid sequences fro...
متن کاملTumor necrosis factor alpha induces a metalloprotease-disintegrin, ADAM8 (CD 156): implications for neuron-glia interactions during neurodegeneration.
ADAM proteases, defined by extracellular disintegrin and metalloprotease domains, are involved in protein processing and cell-cell interactions. Using wobbler (WR) mutant mice, we investigated the role of ADAMs in neurodegeneration and reactive glia activation in the CNS. We found that ADAM8 (CD 156), a suspected leukocyte adhesion molecule, is expressed in the CNS and highly induced in affecte...
متن کاملDeficiency of the Metalloproteinase-Disintegrin ADAM8 Is Associated with Thymic Hyper-Cellularity
BACKGROUND Thymopoiesis requires thymocyte-stroma interactions and proteases that promote cell migration by degrading extracellular matrix and releasing essential cytokines and chemokines. A role for several members of the A Disintegrin and Metalloprotease (ADAM) family in T cell development has been reported in the past. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Here, we present data indicating that th...
متن کاملA disintegrin and metalloprotease 17 mediates neointimal hyperplasia in vasculature.
The requirement of a metalloprotease, a disintegrin and metalloprotease 17 (ADAM17) for the growth of cultured vascular smooth muscle cells has been demonstrated in vitro. However, whether this metalloprotease is responsible for vascular remodeling in vivo remains unanswered. Rat carotid arteries were analyzed 2 weeks after a balloon angioplasty. The neointimal cells were strongly positive for ...
متن کاملExpression of A disintegrin and metalloprotease 10 in pancreatic carcinoma.
The protease ADAM10 influences progression and metastasis of cancer cells and is overexpressed in various malignancies. Therefore, the aim of our study was to evaluate the expression and potential function of ADAM10 in the pathophysiology of pancreatic cancer (PDAC). ADAM10 expression in normal pancreatic (NP), chronic pancreatitis (CP), PDAC tissues, as well as PDAC cell lines was determined. ...
