Abstract

In the present study, we have examined the regulation of attachment, onset of proliferation and the subsequent growth, in vitro, of chick retinal pigmented epithelial (RPE) cells as a function of the nature of the substratum and of either the activation or inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC). The RPE cells have an adhesive preference for protein carpets which contain laminin. This preference disappears gradually with time in culture. The adhesion of RPE cells to fibronectin is shown to be a receptor-mediated process which involves the RGD recognition signal. This study also demonstrates that a PKC activator, 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), affects RPE cell adhesion in a substratum-dependent manner. Exposure of RPE cells to TPA lowers the cell attachment efficacy to ECM protein substrata but does not affect cell attachment to plastic. The onset of cell proliferation is accelerated by TPA on all of the substrata tested. The minimal duration of an effective TPA pulse exerting a long-lasting influence on RPE cell proliferation is between 1.5 and 3.5 hr. Stimulation of cell proliferation by TPA in long-term cultures is independent of the nature of the growth substratum. The acceleration of the onset of cell proliferati...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
