Thimerosal stimulates focal adhesion kinase and cytoskeletal changes by redox modulation.
Thimerosal is one of the most widely used preservatives and has been reported to cause chemically mediated side effects. However, the mechanism of the side effects is not clearly understood yet. In the present study, we showed that HeLa S cells treated by thimerosal generated reactive oxygen species (ROS). Thimerosal-generated ROS stimulated the tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase...
متن کاملCytoskeletal changes induced by GRAF, the GTPase regulator associated with focal adhesion kinase, are mediated by Rho.
Graf, the GTPase regulator associated with focal adhesion kinase was previously shown to have GAP activity for &Rgr; A and Cdc42 in vitro (Hildebrand et al 1996 Mol. Cell Biol. 16: 3169-3178). In this study we sought to determine whether Graf acted at the level of Cdc42, Rho, or both in vivo and whether Graf was a signal terminator or transducer for these proteins. Microinjection of Graf cDNA i...
متن کاملProtein Kinase C Regulates v[35-dependent Cytoskeletal Associations and Focal Adhesion Kinase Phosphorylation
Integrins av[33 and av[35 both mediate cell adhesion to vitronectin yet trigger different postligand binding events. Integrin av133 is able to induce cell spreading, migration, angiogenesis, and tumor metastasis without additional stimulators, whereas av135 requires exogenous activation of protein kinase C (PKC) to mediate these processes. To investigate this difference, the ability of 133 or 1...
متن کاملProtein kinase C regulates alpha v beta 5-dependent cytoskeletal associations and focal adhesion kinase phosphorylation
Integrins alpha v beta 3 and alpha v beta 5 both mediate cell adhesion to vitronectin yet trigger different postligand binding events. Integrin alpha v beta 3 is able to induce cell spreading, migration, angiogenesis, and tumor metastasis without additional stimulators, whereas alpha v beta 5 requires exogenous activation of protein kinase C (PKC) to mediate these processes. To investigate this...
متن کاملControl of adhesion-dependent cell survival by focal adhesion kinase
The interactions of integrins with extracellular matrix proteins can activate focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and suppress apoptosis in normal epithelial and endothelial cells; this subset of apoptosis has been termed "anoikis." Here, we demonstrate that FAK plays a role in the suppression of anoikis. Constitutively activated forms of FAK rescued two established epithelial cell lines from anoikis. ...
