In normal eyes, α2, α3, α6, β1, and β4 integrin subunits are localized in astrocytes along the margins of laminar beams and within glial columns [ 16, 86], which suggests that integrins α2 β1, α3 β1, α6 β1, and α6 β4 may participate in attachment of astrocytes to basement membranes via laminin and sense changes in stress and strain within and anterior to the lamina cribrosa.
These proteins are the cell surface receptors present in the follicular basement membrane and around follicular cells and participate in cell attachment to matrix and mediate mechanical and chemical signals from it [54].
Glycam1 can participate in lymphocyte attachment and extravasation into the blood vessel wall [ 19], and plasma levels of this molecule are found up-regulated in inflammation [ 20].
Alpha-actinin 1 (andN1) and vinculin (VCL) encode cytoskeletal elements that interact with actin and probably participate in the attachment of the cytoskeleton to the membrane.
Repression of NTN4 and HYAL1 may promote cell migration and invasive growth, whereas BAI3, VWF, and EPB41L4B probably participate in angiogenesis, attachment of tumor cells to endothelial surfaces, or reflect vascular structures in the tumors [ 34- 36].
Periostin is a secreted protein, which has been suggested to function as a cell adhesion molecule for preosteoblast and to participate in osteoblast recruitment, attachment and spreading (Takeshita et al, 1993; Horiuchi et al, 1999).
Periostin is originally identified from osteoblasts and functions as a cell adhesion molecule for preosteoblast and to participate in osteoblast recruitment, attachment and spreading (Takeshita et al, 1993; Horiuchi et al, 1999).
In this case, the nonacidic PC does not provide a driving force for the ligand removal in solution; thus, only a low number of CQDs have ligandless, reactive facets that can participate in the "oriented attachment".
β1 integrins also participate in cancer cell attachment to mesothelial monolayers [ 33, 37– 39], which could reflect that cancer cells are binding to the mesothelium-associated ECM and/or to mesothelial cell surface VCAM-1, as outlined above.
The mechanisms by which DMs bind to chromosomes in NB clearly need to be studied further, particularly as the molecules participating in this attachment would be attractive therapeutic targets.
Their comments are shown in table 1. 21 of 26 students who participated in the attachment completed feedback questionnaires.
