PED/PEA‐15 controls fibroblast motility and wound closure by ERK1/2‐dependent mechanisms
21 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
Cell migration is dependent on the control of signaling events that play significant roles in creating contractile force and in contributing to wound closure. We evaluated wound closure in fibroblasts from mice overexpressing (TgPED) or lacking ped/pea-15 (KO), a gene overexpressed in patients with type 2 diabetes. Cultured skin fibroblasts isolated from TgPED mice showed a significant reduction in the ability to...
