## Abstract To explore the role of the E7 viral oncogene from human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) in the regulation of cytoskeletal organization, we investigated alterations in particular cytoskeletal components in rat embryonal fibroblasts and three transformants of rat embryonal fibroblast cells

We have previously reported that astroglial cell lines derived from spontaneously immortalized mouse cerebellar cultures as well as primary astrocyte cultures express the mRNA of the a isoform of smooth muscle actin. In this report, we have used an antiserum specific for the a smooth muscle actin pr
The infrared sensory membranes of pit organs of pit vipers have an extremely rich capillary vasculature that forms many vascular loops, each serving a small number of infrared nerve terminals. We clarified the ultrastructure of capillary pericytes in the pit membranes by scanning and transmission el
The maturation of connective tissue involves the organization of collagen fibres by resident fibroblasts. Fibroblast attachment to collagen has been demonstrated to involve cell surface receptors, integrins of the beta 1 family. Integrins are associated with cytoplasmic actin of microfilaments eithe
Hypertension has been linked to opening of the bloodbrain barrier and may be related to the expression of the smooth muscle a-actin gene in contractile cells at the brain microvasculature. However, the cellular origin (i.e., endothelial cells, pericytes, smooth muscle cells) of the a-actin mRNA in t
We have reported that Cellular Retinol Binding Protein-1 (CRBP-1) is expressed de novo during skin wound healing by a proportion of fibroblastic cells which then differentiate into myofibroblasts and express alpha-smooth muscle actin. In fibroblasts cultured from different tissues we have shown that
