Assessment of the capacity of Glycodelin A (GdA) to modulate the aggregation of cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells.
Highly purified Glycodelin A (GdA) from late first trimester amniotic fluid has been added to cultured cells and its biological activity has been observed with immunofluorescent staining of β-catenin molecules.
GdA induces translocation of β-catenin molecules promoting cell-to-cell adhesion and formation of adherents junctions through cytoskeletal reorganization.
These data provide further mechanistic insight into the specificity of cell-to-cell adhesion, thus corroborating the role of GdA in promoting angiogenesis.
评估糖蛋白A(GdA)调节培养的人脐静脉内皮细胞聚集的能力。
将来自孕早期晚期羊水的高度纯化的糖蛋白A(GdA)添加到培养的细胞中,并通过β-连环蛋白分子的免疫荧光染色观察其生物活性。
GdA诱导β-连环蛋白分子易位,通过细胞骨架重组促进细胞间粘附和粘附连接的形成。
这些数据为细胞间粘附的特异性提供了进一步的机制性见解,从而证实了GdA在促进血管生成中的作用。
