In order to provide some insight into the mechanism of hyaluronate synthesis, the subcellular localization of the synthetase system for hyaluronate was determined in eukaryotic cells. The mouse oligodendroglioma cell line G26-24, which produces copious amounts of hyaluronate in culture, was chosen
ADAM 12 (meltrin alpha) belongs to a large family of molecules, consisting of members with both disintegrin and metalloproteinase properties. ADAMs have been implicated in several cell physiological processes including cell adhesion, cell fusion, proteolysis and signalling. ADAM 12 is widely
The presence and localization of bikunin (HI-30, or acid-stable protease inhibitor), a light chain of inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor, was examined in 30 brain tumors employing immunohistochemical methods. The brain tumors involved 13 kinds of histological diagnosis. Bikunin immunoreactivity was
Malignant gliomas infiltrate the brain preferentially along myelinated fiber tracts. Central nervous system (CNS) myelin, however, contains inhibitory proteins that block axon regeneration, neurite outgrowth, and cell spreading of astrocytes and fibroblasts. We tested 5 human brain tumor cell lines,
Patients with primary brain tumors have bleak prognoses and there is an urgent desire to identify new markers for sensitive diagnosis and new therapeutic targets for effective treatment. A family of proteins, the disintegrin and metalloproteinases (ADAMs or adamalysins), are cell surface and
