Tenascins are a family of extracellular matrix proteins that evolved in early chordates. There are four family members: tenascin-X, tenascin-R, tenascin-W, and tenascin-C. Tenascin-X associates with type I collagen, and its absence can cause Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. In contrast, tenascin-R is concentrated in perineuronal nets. The expression of tenascin-C and tenascin-W is developmentally regulated, and both are expressed during disease (e.g., both are associated with cancer stroma and tumor blood vessels). In addition, tenascin-C is highly induced by infections and inflammation. Accordingly, the tenascin-C knockout mouse has a reduced inflammatory response. All tenascins have the potential to modify cell adhesion either directly or through interaction with fibronectin, and cell-tenascin interactions typically lead to increased cell motility. In the case of tenascin-C, there is a correlation between elevated expression and increased metastasis in several types of tumors. 相似文献

Different connective tissue cells secrete different types of tenascins. These glycoproteins contribute to extracellular matrix (ECM) structure and influence the physiology of the cells in contact with the tenascin containing environment. Tenascin-C expression is regulated by mechanical stress. It shows highest expression in connective tissue surrounding tumors, in wounds and in inflamed tissues where it may regulate cell morphology, growth, and migration by activating diverse intracellular signalling pathways. Thus, integrin and syndecan signalling is influenced by tenascin-C and the levels and/or activies of several proteins involved in intracellular signalling pathways are regulated by its presence. Tenascin-X is important for the proper deposition of collagen fibers in dermis and patients with a tenascin-X deficiency suffer from Ehlers Danlos syndrome. Tenascin-R (and -C) is prominent in the nervous system and has an impact on neurite outgrowth and synaptic functions, and tenascin-W is found in the extracellular matrix of bone, muscle, and kidney. Cell facts:bone: osteoblasts produce tenascin-C, -W cartilage: perichondrial cells produce tenascin-C tendon: fibroblasts produce tenascin-C smooth muscle cells produce tenascin-W, -C skeletal muscle: endo-, peri-, and epimysial fibroblasts produce tenascin-X dermal fibroblasts produce tenascin-X tumors: stromal fibroblasts produce tenascin-C wounds: fibroblasts produce tenascin-C nervous system: glial cells produce tenascin-R, -C, -X. 相似文献

In vivo, CCN2 (connective tissue growth factor) promotes angiogenesis, osteogenesis, tissue repair, and fibrosis, through largely unknown mechanisms. In vitro, CCN2 promotes cell adhesion in a variety of systems via integrins and heparin sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs). However, the physiological relevance of CCN2-mediated cell adhesion is unknown. Here, we find that HSPGs and the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade are required for adult human dermal fibroblasts to adhere to CCN2. Endogenous CCN2 directly binds fibronectin and the fibronectin receptors integrins alpha4 beta1 and alpha5 and syndecan 4. Using Ccn2-/- mouse embryonic fibroblasts, we show that loss of endogenous CCN2 results in impaired spreading on fibronectin, delayed alpha-smooth muscle actin stress fiber formation, and reduced ERK and focal adhesion kinase phosphorylation. These results suggest that a physiological role of CCN2 is to potentiate the ability of fibroblasts to spread on fibronectin, which may be important in modulating fibroblast adhesion to the provisional matrix during tissue development and wound healing. These results are consistent with the notion that a principal function of CCN2 is to modulate receptor/ligand interactions in vivo. 相似文献

We have previously shown that the extracellular matrix molecule tenascin-C
inhibits fibronectin-mediated cell adhesion and neurite outgrowth by an
interaction with a cellular RGD-independent receptor which interferes with
the adhesion and neurite outgrowth promoting activities of the fibronectin
receptor(s). Here we demonstrate that the inhibitory effect of tenascin-C
on beta1integrin-dependent cell adhesion and neurite outgrowth is mediated
by the interaction of the protein with membrane-associated
disialogangliosides, which interferes with protein kinase C-related
signaling pathways. First, in substratum mixtures with fibronectin, an RGD
sequence-containing fragment of the molecule or synthetic peptide,
tenascin-C inhibited cell adhesion and spreading by a
disialoganglioside-dependent, sialidase-sensitive mechanism leading to an
inhibition of protein kinase C. Second, the interaction of intact or
trypsinized, i.e., cell surface glycoprotein- free, cells with immobilized
tenascin-C was strongly inhibited by gangliosides or antibodies to
gangliosides and tenascin-C. Third, preincubation of immobilized tenascin-C
with soluble disialogangliosides resulted in a delayed cell detachment as a
function of time. Similar to tenascin-C, immobilized antibody to GD2 (3F8)
or sphingosine, a protein kinase C inhibitor, strongly inhibited RGD-
dependent cell spreading. Finally, the degree of tenascin-C-induced
inhibition of cell adhesion was proportional to the degree of
disialoganglioside levels of expression by different cells suggesting the
relevance of such mechanism in modulating integrin-mediated cell- matrix
interactions during pattern formation or tumor progression.

Tenascins 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Tenascins are a family of large multimeric extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Vertebrates express four tenascins termed tenascin-C, -R, -X and -W present in their connective tissues. Each tenascin has a specific expression pattern. To the contrary of many other ECM proteins, tenascins promote only weak cell adhesion and do not activate cell spreading. They have been classified as anti-adhesive, adhesion-modulating or even repellent ECM proteins. Tenascin-C and tenascin-R deficient mice show abnormalities in the nervous system and tenascin-C deficient mice, in addition, have defects in several regenerative processes. Mice lacking tenascin-X display hyperelastic skin much like Ehlers Danlos patients with mutations in their tenascin-X gene. Since tenascin-C is highly overexpressed in tumor stroma antibodies against tenascin-C have been used in tumor diagnosis and therapy. Since tenascins are known to influence cell shape, migration and growth they represent good candidate molecules for inclusion in artificial bioengineered tissue implants. 相似文献

TGF-β plays an important role in skin wound healing process, in which Smad3 acts as a signaling molecule. Smad3 knockout mice exhibit enhanced wound healing and less inflammatory process, but the intrinsic properties of the mouse derived skin cells are generally unexplored. The purpose of this study is to characterize the biological behavior of skin cells derived from Smad3 knockout mice and thus to define the mechanism of this particular wound healing process. Keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts were harvested from the skin of Smad3 knockout (Smad3 KO) and wild-type (WT) mice and in vitro cultured for one and two passages for various experiments. The results showed that KO mouse serum contained significantly higher levels of TGF-β1 and lower level of IL-6 and IL-10 than WT mouse serum (p < 0.05), which were also supported by the same findings of more TGF-β1 and less IL-6 and IL-10 in the supernatant of cultured KO dermal fibroblasts than those of WT cells (p < 0.05). At gene levels, IL-6, IL-10, and TGF-β1 were significantly less expressed in KO fibroblasts than in WT fibroblasts (p < 0.05). In addition, KO dermal fibroblasts also exhibited stronger migration and proliferation potentials than WT fibroblasts (p < 0.05). Moreover, both KO fibroblasts and keratinocytes showed higher colony-forming efficiency than WT counterparts with significant difference (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that both systemic factors and intrinsic properties of skin cells contribute to enhanced wound healing and less inflammatory reaction observed in Smad3 knock-out mice. 相似文献

In the unwounded cornea, tenascin-C localizes to a short stretch of the basement membrane zone at the corneoscleral junction or limbus. To determine whether the function of the limbus is affected by the absence of tenascin-C, mice possessing a deletion of tenascin-C and strain-matched wild-type mice are used in corneal debridement wounding experiments. The expression of integrins (alpha3, alpha9, and beta4) in the tenascin-C knockout corneas is evaluated by producing polyclonal cytoplasmic domain antipeptide sera and performing immunofluorescence microscopy. In addition, we evaluate the localization of several other proteins involved in wound healing, including fibronectin, laminin beta1, nidogen/entactin, and VCAM-1, in both the tenascin knockout and wild-type mice. There are no differences in healing rate, scarring, or neovascularization after corneal debridement wounds. alpha9 integrin is expressed at the limbal border of unwounded tenascin-C knockout animals and is upregulated during migration only after the larger wounds. At 8 weeks after larger wounds, the localization of alpha9 again becomes restricted to the limbal border. Results show that tenascin-C is not required for development or maintenance of the corneal limbus or for normal re-epithelialization of corneal epithelial cells after debridement wounding. 相似文献

Effects of tenascin-W on osteoblasts in vitro 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Tenascin-W is a glycoprotein secreted into the extracellular matrix of developing bones. Here, we have examined possible roles
for tenascin-W in osteogenesis. Purified recombinant tenascin-W, like tenascin-C, increases the number of mineralized foci
in primary cultures of avian osteoblasts and increases alkaline phosphatase activity in vitro. In addition, tenascin-W in
solution promotes the migration of primary osteoblasts across fibronectin-coated filters. The sixth fibronectin type III domain
of chicken tenascin-W contains a phylogenetically conserved KGD motif that is predicted to be available to integrin binding.
To determine whether this motif is potentially functional, we have cultured osteoblasts on KGD-containing peptides and control
peptides. Osteoblasts cultured on peptides with the KGD motif acquire a multipolar phenotype with pseudopods tipped with actin-rich
ruffles, which is similar to the morphology of osteoblasts cultured on recombinant tenascin-W. Moreover, the KGD peptides,
but not the control peptides, promote proliferation in cultured osteoblasts but not alkaline phosphatase activity or migration.
Finally, explanted embryonic frontal bones are significantly thicker when cultured in the presence of tenascin-W, suggesting
that tenascin-W can accelerate the formation of new bone in a complex multicellular environment. 相似文献

Significant increases in skin wound healing rates occur by reducing connexin-mediated communication (CMC). Gap27, a connexin (Cx) mimetic peptide targeted to the second extracellular loop of Cx43, which inhibits CMC, increases migration of human keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts. To examine the efficacy of Gap27 in a hyperglycemic and hyperinsulinemic in vitro environment, cell migration, gap junction, and Cx hemichannel functionality and cell-substrate adhesion assays were performed on human dermal fibroblasts and diabetic fibroblast and keratinocytes. To investigate fibroblast genes involved in these processes, extra-cellular matrix (ECM) and adhesion gene expression was determined with a PCR array. Gap27 increased fibroblast migration in both euglycemia/euinsulinemia and hyperglycemia/hyperinsulinemia, and influenced migration in diabetic keratinocytes. Hyperglycemia/hyperinsulinemia reduced gap junction coupling in fibroblasts and Gap27 reduced CMC and cell adhesion to substrata in fibroblasts cultured in high glucose. Migrating dermal fibroblast ECM and cell adhesion genes were found to be differentially regulated by Gap27 in euglycemia and hyperglycemia. The PCR array showed that Gap27 upregulated 34 genes and downregulated 1 gene in euglycemic migrating fibroblasts. By contrast in hyperglycemia, Gap27 upregulated 1 gene and downregulated 9 genes. In euglycemic conditions, Gap27 induced upregulation of genes associated with ECM remodeling, whereas in hyperglycemia, ECM component genes were downregulated by Gap27. Thus, Gap27 improves cell migration during scrape-wound repair in hyperglycemia/hyperinsulinemia conditions in vitro, although migration of diabetic cells is less influenced. Our results suggest that this increase in motility may occur by decreasing gap junction and hemichannel activity and altering gene expression in the adhesion and ECM pathway. 相似文献

Of the many processes that affect the outcome of wound repair, epidermal-dermal interactions are essential to extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and in particular, soluble factors released by keratinocytes are known to have a direct impact on the production of ECM by dermal fibroblasts. Aminopeptidase N (APN) has recently been proposed as a cell-surface receptor for stratifin and is responsible for the stratifin-mediated matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) upregulation in fibroblasts. The present study examines whether modulation of APN gene expression has any impact on the fibroblast ECM gene expression profile. The result reveals that in the presence of keratinocyte-derived soluble factors, transient knockdown of APN in dermal fibroblasts affects the expression of key ECM components such as fibronectin, tenascin-C, MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-12. The regulatory effects of APN on fibronectin and selective MMPs appear to be associated with receptor-mediated signal transduction independently of its peptidase activity. On the contrary, inhibition of the APN enzymatic activity by bestatin significantly reduces the tenascin-C expression and enhances the contraction of fibroblast-populated collagen gel, suggesting an activity-dependent regulation of fibroblast contractility by APN. The overall effects of APN on the expression of fibronectin, tenascin-C, and MMPs in fibroblasts propose an important role for APN in the regulation of keratinocyte-mediated ECM remodeling and fibroblast contractile activity. 相似文献

I have tried to briefly review the evidence (summarized in Table II) indicating that fibronectin is important in cutaneous wound healing. Fibronectin appears to be an important factor throughout this process. It promotes the spreading of platelets at the site of injury, the adhesion and migration of neutrophils, monocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells into the wound region, and the migration of epidermal cells through the granulation tissue. At the level of matrix synthesis, fibronectin appears to be involved both in the organization of the granulation tissue and basement membrane. In terms of tissue remodeling, fibronectin functions as a nonimmune opsonin for phagocytosis of debris by fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and under some circumstances, macrophages. Fibronectin also enhances the phagocytosis of immune-opsonized particles by monocytes, but whether this includes phagocytosis of bacteria remains to be determined. In general, phagocytosis of bacteria has not appeared to involve fibronectin. On the contrary, the presence of fibronectin in the wound bed may promote bacterial attachment and infection. Because of the ease of experimental manipulations, wound healing experiments have been carried out on skin more frequently than other tissues. As a result, the possible role of fibronectin has not been investigated thoroughly in the repair of internal organs and tissues. Nevertheless, it seems reasonable to speculate that fibronectin plays a central role in all wound healing situations. Finally, the wound healing problems of patients with severe factor XIII deficiencies may occur because of their inability to incorporate fibronectin into blood clots. 相似文献

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a disease with biochemical evidence of abnormality in collagen biosynthesis. We report here that expression of the OI phenotype extends to the level of dermal fibroblast morphology in vitro. Growth characteristics and morphology of control (n = 3) and 01 cell strains (n = 10) were compared. Our results show that (1) OI fibroblasts take longer time (16 days) than that with control cells (13 days) to reach stationary phase; (2) OI fibroblasts achieve a lower cell density (1.0 +/- 0.09) at stationary phase compared to control cells (1.47 +/- 0.1); p < 0.01; (3) cell shape (expressed as the width/length ratio) was also abnormal in OI cells: they have significantly increased ratios (p < 0.05) compared to control. These changes were associated with an increased level of fibronectin concentration and engorged cytoplasmic vesicles in dermal fibroblasts in vitro. We have reason to suspect that dysmorphology of fibroblasts may be related to aberrant collagen metabolism that leads to inadequacy of extracellular substratum, that in its turn hinders normal adhesion of cells as well as their spreading, morphology and fibronectin concentration. 相似文献

The present investigation has been performed to better characterize, in vitro, normal aponeurotic cells in comparison with dermal fibroblasts and with cells derived from Dupuytren's affected aponeuroses. Cells were cultured in monolayer and/or into three-dimensional collagen gels. Cell structure, adhesion, and spreading capability on different substrates, as well as integrin expression were investigated by light and electron microscopy and by flow cytometry. Cell-matrix interactions were also analyzed by gel retraction experiments in the presence, or absence, of RGD peptides and anti-integrin antibodies. Normal aponeurotic cells, compared with dermal fibroblasts, exhibited in vitro peculiar structural features, which were substantially maintained in Dupuytren's aponeurotic cells, irrespective of the substrate they were grown on. By contrast, the aponeurotic cell behavior was different in normal and diseased cells, these latter approaching that of dermal fibroblasts. Normal aponeurotic cells, in fact, were characterized by low efficiency in retracting the collagen gel, low α2, α1, and α5 integrin subunit expression and low adhesion properties onto collagen and fibronectin, whereas cells isolated from the aponeuroses of Dupuytren's patients exhibited higher capability of retracting the collagen gel, increased adhesion properties toward collagen and fibronectin, and higher levels of integrin expression. No differences were observed between dermal fibroblasts from Dupuytren's patients or from normal subjects. These in vitro results are consistent with those previously obtained in situ, suggesting that palmar aponeurotic cells have a peculiar phenotype and that changes in cell-matrix interactions occur in Dupuytren's contracture. Moreover, by comparing data obtained from the retracted fibrotic cords and the still clinically unaffected aponeuroses of the same patients, it may be noted that Dupuytren's disease is not only confined to the clinically involved branches, but includes the whole aponeurosis of the affected hand.

Syndecan-4 is a ubiquitously expressed heparan sulfate proteoglycan that modulates cell interactions with the extracellular matrix. It is transiently up-regulated during tissue repair by cells that mediate wound healing. Here, we report that syndecan-4 is essential for optimal fibroblast response to the three-dimensional fibrin-fibronectin provisional matrix that is deposited upon tissue injury. Interference with syndecan-4 function inhibits matrix contraction by preventing cell spreading, actin stress fiber formation, and activation of focal adhesion kinase and RhoA mediated-intracellular signaling pathways. Tenascin-C is an extracellular matrix protein that regulates cell response to fibronectin within the provisional matrix. Syndecan-4 is also required for tenascin-C action. Inhibition of syndecan-4 function suppresses tenascin-C activity and overexpression of syndecan-4 circumvents the effects of tenascin-C. In this way, tenascin-C and syndecan-4 work together to control fibroblast morphology and signaling and regulate events such as matrix contraction that are essential for efficient tissue repair. 相似文献

The integrin family of cell adhesion receptors are important for a diverse set of biological responses during development. Although many integrins have been shown to engage a similar set of cytoplasmic effector proteins in vitro, the importance of these proteins in the biological events mediated by different integrin receptors and ligands is uncertain. We have examined the role of one of the best-characterized integrin effectors, the focal adhesion protein paxillin, by disruption of the paxillin gene in mice. Paxillin was found to be critically involved in regulating the development of mesodermally derived structures such as heart and somites. The phenotype of the paxillin(-/-) mice closely resembles that of fibronectin(-/-) mice, suggesting that paxillin is a critical transducer of signals from fibronectin receptors during early development. Paxillin was also found to play a critical role in fibronectin receptor biology ex vivo since cultured paxillin-null fibroblasts display abnormal focal adhesions, reduced cell migration, inefficient localization of focal adhesion kinase (FAK), and reduced fibronectin-induced phosphorylation of FAK, Cas, and mitogen-activated protein kinase. In addition, we found that paxillin-null fibroblasts show some defects in the cortical cytoskeleton and cell spreading on fibronectin, raising the possibility that paxillin could play a role in structures distinct from focal adhesions. Thus, paxillin and fibronectin regulate some common embryonic developmental events, possibly due to paxillin modulation of fibronectin-regulated focal adhesion dynamics and organization of the membrane cytoskeletal structures that regulate cell migration and spreading. 相似文献

During wound repair, fibroblasts accumulate in the injured area until any defect is filled with stratified layers of cells and matrix. Such fibroplasia also occurs in many fibrotic disorders. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), a promotor of granulation tissue in vivo and extracellular matrix production in vitro, is expressed during the active fibroplasia of wound healing and fibroproliferative diseases. Under usual tissue culture conditions, normal fibroblasts grow to confluence and then cease proliferation. In this study, culture conditions with TGF-β1 have been delineated that promote human fibroblasts to grow in stratified layers mimicking in vivo fibroplasia. When medium supplemented with serum, ascorbate, proline, and TGF-β was added thrice weekly to normal human dermal fibroblasts, the cells proliferated and stratified up to 16 cell layers thick within the culture dish, producing a tissue-like fibroplasia. TGF-β stimulated both DNA synthesis as measured by 1H-thymidine uptake and cell proliferation as measured by a Hoechst dye DNA assay in these postconfluent cultures. The stratification was dependent on fibronectin assembly, as demonstrated by anti-fibronectin antibodies which inhibited both basal and TGF-β-stimulated cell proliferation and stratification. Suppression of collagen matrix assembly in cell layers with β-amino-proprionitrile (BAPN) did not inhibit basal or TGF-β stimulated in vitro fibroplasia. BAPN did not interfere with fibronectin matrix assembly as judged by immunofluorescence microscopy. Thus, in concert with serum factors, TGF-β stimulates postconfluent, fibronectin matrix-dependent, fibroblast growth creating a fibroplasia-like tissue in vitro.

The behavior of fibroblasts on patterned substrates was examined in order to elucidate the role of dermal structure in wound
healing. Dermal fibroblasts were cultured on micro-patterned silicone elastomer substrates designed to enforce cell adhesion
only to fibronectin microdots. The morphology, expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), proliferation, apoptotic cells,
and soluble collagen production of cells were measured. Cells grown on patterned substrates showed some signs of a scar-fibroblast
phenotype such as: elongated pseudopodia, enhanced expression of alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), and increased collagen/pre-collagen,
in comparison to unpatterned controls. Cells also showed low proliferation rates and high apoptotic index. The results showed
that the microdot arrays, acting as a grid of limited focal adhesion sites, could force cells to adopt constrained morphologies
and limited adhesion areas, which affect the cytoskeleton, ultimately leading to expression of a scar-tissue fibroblast phenotype.
This study provides insight into the regulatory mechanisms of micro-topology on cell behavior in wound healing. 相似文献
