Follicular thyroid tumours: a study of laminin and type IV collagen in basement membrane and endothelium.
Immunocytochemical stains for laminin and type IV collagen can be used as markers for basement membrane and vascular endothelium. Thirty four follicular thyroid lesions were examined using these techniques to investigate two aspects: firstly, the relation between the extent of invasion and the integrity of basement membrane; secondly, whether the techniques could enhance the detection of tumour...
متن کاملHuman granulosa cells express integrin alpha2 and collagen type IV: possible involvement of collagen type IV in granulosa cell luteinization.
Previously, it has been shown that integrin alpha6beta1 expressed on human granulosa cells regulates luteinization in co-operation with its ligand, laminin. In this study, integrin alpha2 was immunohistochemically demonstrated to be expressed on granulosa and large luteal cells. It was also detected on luteinizing theca interna cells after ovulation. Immunoreactive collagen type IV, which is on...
متن کاملType IV collagen-degrading enzyme activity in human serum.
Type IV collagen-degrading enzyme activity was detected in human serum. Serum was preincubated with 4-aminophenylmercuric acetate and trypsin to activate the enzyme prior to assay. Type IV collagen, purified from human placentas and radiolabeled with [1-14C] acetic anhydride, was used as the substrate. The enzyme activity was measured at pH 7.5 and inhibited by treatment with ethylenediaminetet...
متن کاملTumorigenic Cell Lines Type IV Collagenase and Interstitial Collagenase in Human
The regulation of M, 72,000 type IV collagenase and interstitial collagenase expression was studied in vitro. Three tumorigenic human cell lines were used, together with human fetal lung fibroblasts as a nontumorigenic control. M, 72,000 type IV collagenase was expressed constitutively by all four cell lines, whereas only A20S8 melanoma cells exhibited constitutive expression of interstitial co...
متن کاملStudy of Expression Type Iv Collagen During Mouse Kidney Ubulogenesis in Balb/C Mouse
Purpose: In this study specific antibody have been used for tracing type IV collagen basement membrane during renal tubules morphogenesis in mouse fetuses. Materials and Methods: 20 female Balb/C mice were selected randomly and were kept under normal condition, finding vaginal plug was assumed as day zero of pregnancy. 12 pregnant mice were scarified by cervical dislocation in one of gestationa...
