Role of alpha8 integrin in mesangial cell adhesion, migration, and proliferation.

Kidney international - 1 Jul 2003

Bieritz Beate, Spessotto Paola, Colombatti Alfonso, Jahn Angelika, Prols Felicitas, Hartner Andrea

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Extracellular matrix receptors of the integrin family are known to regulate cell adhesion, migration, and proliferation. The alpha8 integrin chain is expressed in the glomerulus exclusively by mesangial cells. The contribution of alpha8 to mesangial cell function, however, has not yet...
