Abstract

Tenascins are glycoproteins found primarily in the embryonic extracellular matrix. Here we have characterized the fourth and final member of the tenascin family in birds: tenascin-W. Avian tenascin-W has 3.5 epidermal growth factor-like repeats, 6 fibronectin type III domains, and a C-terminal fibrinogen-related domain. Immunohistochemistry reveals that avian tenascin-W is expressed transiently in developing smooth muscle, tendons, and ligaments, but the primary site of tenascin-W expression during development is in the extracellular matrix of bone and the cellular periosteum. In bony matrix, tenascin-W-coated fibrils partly overlap with fibrils that contain tenascin-C. The anti-tenascin-W also labels fibrils in cultures of osteogenic embryonic chicken calvarial cells. Primary calvarial cells cultured on purified tenascin-W become rounded, and fewer of these cells spread on fibronectin when tenascin-W is added to the medium when compared with calvarial cells cultured on fibronectin alone. Moreover, tenascin-W reduces the adhesion of calvarial cells to collagen type I in a shear force assay. We conclude that tenascin-W is likely to play a phylogenetically conserved role in developing bone and that it shares some of the basic ant...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. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
