  • That target is an immune system compound called tenascin-C.

  • TGF-β1 also regulates the behaviour of keratinocytes by inducing the expression of various ECM proteins such as tenascin, thrombospondin, fibronectin, vitronectin, collagen and several proteoglycans etc.

  • Whitby DJ, Longaker MT, Adzick NS, Harrison MR, Ferguson MWJ: Rapid epithelialization of fetal wounds is associated with the early deposition of tenascin.

    CHOP scarless fetal wound healing publications 2010

  • As shown in Figure 2A-B, tenascin-C induced 14-3-3τ and Beclin 1 when compared with fibronectin control, and the induction of Beclin 1 was blocked when 14-3-3τ was depleted.

  • The regulation is physiologically relevant as an extracellular matrix protein tenascin-C, a known 14-3-3τ inducer, can induce Beclin 1 through 14-3-3τ.

  • These include well-established adhesion molecules and receptors such as brevican, tenascin C, integrin αv, and dystroglycan-1, some of which are critical for structural integrity of the glial scaffold

  • Recent studies also showed that the expression of tenascin-C in invasion borders of early breast cancer significantly correlates with proliferative activity, higher risk of distant metastasis and local recurrence

  • These results indicate that the induction of Beclin 1 by tenascin-C is mediated through 14-3-3τ.

  • The regulation is physiologically relevant as an extracellular matrix protein tenascin-C, a known 14-3-3τ inducer, can induce Beclin 1 through 14-3-3τ.

    PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles Bing Wang et al. 2010

  • To investigate the regulation of Beclin 1 by 14-3-3τ in a physiological context, we made use of an extracellular matrix protein tenascin-C, which has been reported to induce 14-3-3τ in
