Because hemidesmosomes and focal contacts (FCs) play major roles in epidermal wound healing and in the pathogenesis of subepidermal blistering diseases, it is of particular importance to understand their cross-talk in the regulation of their assembly and disassembly. In this issue, Ozawa et al. demonstrate that hemidesmosome-enriched protein complex (HPC) and FC dynamics are tightly coregulated in keratinocytes undergoing migration by employing HaCat cells that express fluorescent protein-tagged beta4 integrin and alpha-actinin as markers of HPCs and FCs.
因为半桥粒和黏着斑(FCs)在表皮伤口愈合和表皮下疱病发病机制中起着重要作用,因此了解它们在调节其组装和拆卸中的相互作用尤为重要。在本期杂志中,Ozawa 等人通过使用表达荧光蛋白标记的β4 整合素和α辅肌动蛋白的 HaCat 细胞作为 HPC 和 FC 的标志物,证明了在经历迁移的角质细胞中,HPC 和 FC 的动态紧密地受到共同调控。
