Expression of variant fibronectins in wound healing: cellular source and biological activity of the EIIIA segment in rat hepatic fibrogenesis
We have examined the cell-specific expression of two fibronectin isoforms, EIIIA and EIIIB, during experimental hepatic fibrosis induced by ligation of the biliary duct. AT the mRNA level, EIIIA and EIIIB were undetectable in normal liver but expressed early injury, preceding fibrosis. The cellular sources of these changes were determined by fractionating the liver at various time points after ...

Fibronectin (FN) is one of the essential component of the extra cellular matrix and their important role is as regulator of cellular activities and also fibronectin is an important scaffold for maintaining tissue. Fibronectin conformational changes expose additional binding sites that participate in fibril formation and in conversion of fibrils into a stabilized, insoluble form. In fact fibrone...
متن کاملTissue-specific splicing pattern of fibronectin messenger RNA precursor during development and aging in rat
Fibronectin isoforms are generated by the alternative splicing of a primary transcript derived from a single gene. In rat at least three regions of the molecule are involved: EIIIA, EIIIB, and V. This study investigated the splicing patterns of these regions during development and aging, by means of ribonuclease protection analysis. Between fetal and adult rat, the extent of inclusion of the EI...
متن کاملIdentification of a key integrin-binding sequence in VCAM-1 homologous to the LDV active site in fibronectin.
The integrin adhesion receptor alpha 4 beta 1 binds two ligands, the extracellular matrix glycoprotein fibronectin and the immunoglobulin superfamily member VCAM-1. Ligand-binding sites are contained with the HepII/IIICS domain of fibronectin, and within the homologous immunoglobulin domains 1 and 4 of VCAM-1. Previous studies have shown that the binding of each ligand to alpha 4 beta 1 is mutu...
متن کاملPolarized regulation of fibronectin secretion and alternative splicing by transforming growth factor.
Fibronectin is a multifunctional protein that is synthesized in several different forms that result from alternative splicing of mRNA. Although expression of splicing variants appears to be both developmentally regulated and tissue-specific, the functional significance of these isoforms is largely unknown. We found that cultured airway epithelial cells vectorially secrete two distinct species o...
