Abstract

The role of fibronectin (FN) and vitronectin (VN) receptors for cell adhesion and matrix assembly was analyzed during human fetal myogenesis in vivo and in vitro. In human fetal muscle at 10 weeks gestational age FN and laminin are present in the extracellular matrix. Analysis of the integrin repertoire at this developmental stage reveals that the differentiated muscle cells in vivo express alpha 5 and alpha 6 integrins, but not alpha v, alpha 1, and alpha 3 integrins. However, in vitro cultured myoblasts (G6) isolated from the same gestational age express alpha v, alpha 1, and alpha 3 integrins in addition to alpha 5 and alpha 6 integrins. A more detailed analysis of FN and VN receptors in vitro shows that the localization of different alpha v heterodimers into focal contacts is differently regulated. Alpha v beta 1, and alpha v beta 3, are present at focal contacts throughout in vitro myogenesis whereas alpha v beta 5 appears to depend on an endogenously produced factor to localize to focal contacts. The alpha v beta 1, alpha v beta 5, and alpha 3 beta 1 heterodimers, often reported not to focalize, did form focal contacts in G6 cells, indicating that these myoblasts possess components facilitating the formation of cytoskelet...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.
