Long-term administration of pharmacological doses of glucocorticoids inhibits bone formation and results in osteoporosis. Since integrin-mediated cell-matrix interactions are essential for osteoblast function, we hypothesized that the detrimental effect of glucocorticoids on bone derived, at least i

We have shown previously that switching of the ␣v-associated 1 and 5 integrin subunits during differentiation of myelin-forming oligodendrocytes may regulate important aspects of cell behaviour such as migration (Milner et al., 1996: J Neurosci 16:7240-7252). In this study we have examined the dev
Cyclic strain has been shown to modulate endothelial cell (EC) morphology, proliferation, and function. We have recently reported that the focal adhesion proteins focal adhesion kinase (pp125 FAK ) and paxillin, are tyrosine phosphorylated in EC exposed to strain and these events regulate the morpho
Bone sialoprotein (BSP), a secreted glycoprotein found in bone matrix, has been implicated in the formation of mammary microcalcifications and osteotropic metastasis of human breast cancer (HBC). BSP possesses an integrin-binding RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) domain, which may promote interactions between HBC c
Human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells were induced to neuronal differentiation by using 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and retinoic acid (RA). Both treatments rapidly induced long neurites and increased the content of neurofilaments as shown by immunocytochemistry and immunoblotting. Immunop
