Abstract

The present study describes a positive regulatory loop between SJP and the SDF-1α/CXCR4 axis in NSC migration. The treatment of NSCs with SJP and SDF-1α increases the cell migration capacity and promotes cell migration from the neurospheres. These effects are accompanied by the up-regulation of Nestin, N-cadherin, TLR4, TNF-α, Cyclin D1, EGFR, Alpha 6 integrin, MMP-2, MMP-9, and iNOS, including SDF-1α and CXCR4 themselves. However, these effects are blocked by AMD3100, LY294002, U0126, and PDTC. SJP enhances the SDF-1α/CXCR4 axis-induced MMP-2 and MMP-9 secretion and NO release. Results demonstrate that interaction of SJP with the SDF-1α/CXCR4 axis regulates NSC migration via the PI3K/Akt/FOXO3a, ERK-MAPK, and NF-κB signaling pathways.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.

AKT Pathway

This feed focuses on the AKT serine/threonine kinase, which is an important signaling pathway involved in processes such as glucose metabolism and cell survival.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

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.
