Ligation of HLA class I molecules on endothelial cells induces phosphorylation of Src, paxillin, and focal adhesion kinase in an actin-dependent manner.
The development of chronic rejection is the major limitation to long-term allograft survival. HLA class I Ags have been implicated to play a role in this process because ligation of class I molecules by anti-HLA Abs stimulates smooth muscle cell and endothelial cell proliferation. In this study, we show that ligation of HLA class I molecules on the surface of human aortic endothelial cells stim...
متن کاملFocal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) Involvement in Human Endometrial Remodeling During the Menstrual Cycle
Background: Endometrial remodeling occurs during each menstrual cycle in women. Reports have shown that, in a variety of cell types, processes such as proliferation, signaling complex formation and extra cellular matrix remodeling require a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase, focal adhesion kinase (FAK). The present study has focused on the expression pattern of FAK in human endometrium during the men...
متن کاملThe COOH-terminal domain of the focal adhesion kinase induces loss of adhesion and cell death in human tumor cells.
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a tyrosine kinase that is linked to signaling pathways between cells and their extracellular matrix. An alternate transcript of the COOH-terminal region of the FAK gene, called FAK-related nonkinase, has been shown to act as an inhibitor of FAK in chicken embryo fibroblasts. We have designed an analogous segment of human FAK, FAK COOH-terminal domain (FAK-CD), and...
متن کاملCross talk between MyD88 and focal adhesion kinase pathways.
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a nonreceptor protein tyrosine kinase involved in signaling downstream of integrins, linking bacterial detection, cell entry, and initiation of proinflammatory response through MAPKs and NF-kappaB activation. In this study, using protein I/II from Streptococcus mutans as a model activator of FAK, we investigated the potential link between FAK and TLR pathways. Usi...
متن کاملFocal adhesion kinase mediates cell survival via NF-kappaB and ERK signaling pathways.
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is important to cellular functions such as proliferation, migration, and survival of anchorage-dependent cells. We investigated the role of FAK in modulating normal cellular responses, specifically cell survival in response to inflammatory stimuli and serum withdrawal, using FAK-knockout (FAK(-/-)) embryonic fibroblasts. FAK(-/-) fibroblasts were more vulnerable to T...
