Abstract

To analyze the process of mesenchymal differentiation in vitro, we examined 5 human glioblastomas as biopsy specimens, monolayer cultures and 3-dimensional fragment spheroid cultures for the immunohistochemical expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) components (collagen types I, III-VI, laminin) and integrin receptors (beta 1, beta 2, beta 3 and beta 4 chains). mRNA for type-I and type-IV collagen alpha I chains was quantified using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. In situ, glioma cells expressed beta 1, the common beta chain of most integrin ECM receptors, while ECM components were restricted to vascular elements. Early monolayer cultures showed a marked increase in ECM components (interstitial collagens more than basement membrane components), and coexpression of ECM components and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) by most cells. beta 2 and beta 3 integrins were upregulated in the primary cultures. In the fifth passages, GFAP-positive cells were decreased and collagen-expressing cells increased. The spheroids exhibited preserved GFAP staining, neoexpression of beta 4 integrin in some tumors, and variable ECM expression by glioma cells which was lower than that in monolayer cultures. ECM deposition usual...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.
