Abstract

Vitronectin, a 75-kDa plasma protein is also found in the extracellular matrix, where it is believed to promote cell adhesion and migration. In addition to its role in adhesion, matrix vitronectin is also believed to function as an opsonin promoting the clearance of thrombin-serpin complexes from the matrix. Vitronectin is cleared from the matrix by receptor-mediated endocytosis followed by lysosomal degradation, suggesting that cells can regulate the levels of vitronectin present in the matrix. However, the mechanism by which plasma vitronectin associates with the extracellular matrix remains unclear. Studies were conducted to define the binding site(s) for vitronectin in fibroblast cell layers. Sodium chlorate, a competitive inhibitor of proteoglycan sulfation, produced a dose-dependent decrease in both binding and degradation of vitronectin. This inhibition was reversible in that removal of chlorate returned both binding and degradation of vitronectin to near control levels within 24 h. The binding of vitronectin to cell layers was not dependent on cells because vitronectin bound directly to isolated matrix. Isolated matrices prepared from cell layers treated with sodium chlorate also exhibited a dose-dependent decrease in v...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.
