Expression patterns of adhesion receptors in the developing mouse lung: functional implications

Cell Adhesion and Communication
C A BuckH S Baldwin

Abstract

A detailed, immunohistological study of mouse lung development from the first appearance of primary lung buds off the laryngo tracheal groove through the formation of the mature, adult lung has been carried out using monoclonal antibodies specific for endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, adhesion receptors and markers of mature endothelial cell function. These included mAbs specific for PECAM-1, alpha-smooth muscle actin, ICAM-1, ICAM-2, VCAM-1, alpha 4 and alpha 6 integrin subunits, thrombomodulin and factor VIII. The results document a dynamic pattern of receptor expression and indicate that the expansion of the pulmonary vascular system may take place by both angiogenic and vasculogenic processes. They further document differences in receptor expression by vascular and airway smooth muscle. ICAM-1 expression was primarily extravascular during development. The expression patterns of alpha 4 integrin and its counter receptor VCAM-1 lacked the complementarity that might be expected if they were functioning as a receptor/counter-receptor pair in lung development. Thrombomodulin expression patterns support a major role for the thrombin/ thrombomodulin system in lung development. The expression of thrombomodulin only at sites o...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.
