Fine Structure of Fibrillar Complexes Associated with the Basement Membrane in Human Oral Mucosa
نویسندگان
چکیده
Palade and Farquhar (1) have recently reported the presence of a unique fibril in the skin of Amphibia and, in less well developed form, in various sites in the rat. Previous to that report, Brody (2) and Younes (3) observed similar fibrils in human skin and cervix, respectively, but did not emphasize their unusual character. Recent observations in our laboratory indicate that a similar fibril is present in human oral mucosa.

Background and Aim: Microscopic differentiation between well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma and verrucous carcinoma is very difficult. As these lesions have different clinical course and treatment a reliable method to help distinguish between them is necessary. The basement membrane in oral verrucous carcinoma is generally intact whereas in oral squamous cell carcinoma is mostly discont...
متن کاملLaminin assembles into separate basement membrane and fibrillar matrices in Schwann cells.
Laminins are important for Schwann cell basement membrane assembly and axonal function. In this study, we found that exogenous laminin-1, like neuromuscular laminins-2/4, formed two distinct extracellular matrices on Schwann cell surfaces, each facilitated by laminin polymerization. Assembly of one, a densely-distributed reticular matrix, was accompanied by a redistribution of cell-surface dyst...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical Evaluation of CD86 Expression in Ero-sive Oral Lichen Planus
Background and Aim: Lichen planus is an inflammatory autoimmune mucocutaneous disease. Stimulation of T cells and antigen-presenting cells (APCs), such as dendritic cells, mediates apoptosis of keratinocytes and basement membrane destruction. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of one of the immune cell markers (CD86) in erosive oral lichen planus. Materials and Methods: In...
متن کاملCharacterization of a three-dimensional mucosal equivalent: similarities and differences with native oral mucosa.
The aim of this study was to create and characterize a tissue-engineered mucosal equivalent (TEM) that closely resembles native mucosa. TEM consists of human primary keratinocytes and fibroblasts isolated from biopsies taken from healthy donors and seeded onto a de-epidermized dermis and cultured for 14 days at the air/liquid interface. The structure of TEM was examined and compared with native...
متن کاملINVESTIGATIVE OPHTHALMOLOGY Fine structure of retinal vessels in man and the macaque monkey
The fine structure of the capillaries, arterioles, and venules of the human and monkey retina are described. The capillaries consist of endothelial tubes loithout fenestratiom and a basement membrane in which pericytes are embedded. The structure of endothelial cells indicates that they are very active. Some difference in composition of the basement membrane material on the outer and inner surf...
