Abstract

Endogenous chicken muscle lectin isolated by lactose affinity chromatography inhibits myoblast fusion. Similar lectins isolated from embryonic brain, heart, and liver and from adult intestine exhibit the same ability. Elevated levels of any of these lectins canceled the inhibitory effect. Peanut agglutinin isolated by the same procedure had no effect at any concentration tested. Concanavalin A affected fusion only at high concentrations. Muscle lectin was shown to agglutinate myoblasts in microtiter plates, whereas exogenous addition in culture inhibited alignment as seen by time lapse microcinematography. Cell-to-cell communication between lectin-treated cells was shown by nucleotide exchange, and lectin-coated culture dishes did not affect cell attachment. Our evidence shows a lack of specificity to muscle, but suggests an aggregating capacity between cells, or possibly an interaction between the cell membrane and the extracellular matrix.

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.
