Binding of hexabrachion (tenascin) to the extracellular matrix and substratum and its effect on cell adhesion.
Hexabrachion is a large glycoprotein of the extracellular matrix (ECM) that is prominent in embryogenesis, wound healing and tumorigenesis. Because of the role of extracellular matrix proteins in the regulation of cell differentiation and migration, the interaction of hexabrachion with cells as well as with other components of the ECM is of great interest. Early reports suggested that hexabrach...
متن کاملCell- and heparin-binding domains of the hexabrachion arm identified by tenascin expression proteins.
We have produced a set of bacterial expression proteins corresponding to 10 segments of tenascin and two of fibronectin and tested them for heparin binding and cell adhesion. We used polymerase chain reaction cloning to terminate the segments precisely at domain boundaries. Heparin binding activity was mapped to two different tenascin segments: one comprising the fourth and fifth fibronectin ty...
متن کاملTenascin/hexabrachion in human skin: biochemical identification and localization by light and electron microscopy
Tenascin/hexabrachion is a large glycoprotein of the extracellular matrix. Previous reports have demonstrated that tenascin is associated with epithelial-mesenchymal interfaces during embryogenesis and is prominent in the matrix of many tumors. However, the distribution of tenascin is more restricted in adult tissues. We have found tenascin to be present in normal human skin in a distribution d...
متن کاملExome Sequencing and Linkage Analysis Identified Tenascin-C (TNC) as a Novel Causative Gene in Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss
In this study, a five-generation Chinese family (family F013) with progressive autosomal dominant hearing loss was mapped to a critical region spanning 28.54 Mb on chromosome 9q31.3-q34.3 by linkage analysis, which was a novel DFNA locus, assigned as DFNA56. In this interval, there were 398 annotated genes. Then, whole exome sequencing was applied in three patients and one normal individual fro...
متن کاملImmunosuppression via Tenascin-C
Metastasis accounts for most of the prostate cancer-related deaths, and the presence of more than two metastatic lymph nodes at radical prostatectomy and extended pelvic lymph node (PLN) dissection is an independent predictor of prostate cancer specific mortality [1], thus suggesting that PLN invasion is an important event in the history of the disease. However, despite its clinical significanc...
