Inhibition of laminin alpha 1-chain expression leads to alteration of basement membrane assembly and cell differentiation.
15 Apr 1996
Abstract excerpt
The expression of the constituent alpha 1 chain of laminin-1, a major component of basement membranes, is markedly regulated during development and differentiation. We have designed an antisense RNA strategy to analyze the direct involvement of the alpha 1 chain in laminin assembly, basement membrane formation, and cell differentiation. We report that the absence of alpha 1-chain expression, resulting from the...
