Q

What weak molecular effects are responsible for elastin’s elasticity?

  • Relaxed State
  • Stretched State
A
  • Hydrophobic Effects

Relaxed State:
- Hydrophobic elastin residues fold up against each other and exclude water

Stretched state:
- H20 gets into hyrophobic spaces but hydrophobic residues do not like this and are pressed back out by when tissue is relaxed

Q

Desmosines

  • what makes them up
  • what do they do
  • Enzyme Dependence
A
  • 4 allysine are forms from the lysines of up to 4 different proteins
  • These 4 come together to make Desmosine
  • 4 joined proteins = crosslink

*****Needs LYSYL OXIDASE to form

16
Q

What activates cell adhesion by integrins?

A
  • Cytokines etc. bind EXTAcellular molecule and send INTRAcellular signal to integrin activating it to bind
17
Q

How can integrin binding in itself signal for survival, growth, and differentiation of cells?

A
  • Integrin binding by cells can activate intracellular signalling molecules
18
Q

What determines the type of integrin expressed on each cell?

A
  • Developmental/Transcriptional Controls
19
Q

What is Glanzman’s Thrombasthenia?

  • Cause
  • Symptom
A
  • Platelets Lack integrin resulting in bleeding problems

**Prevents cell-cell adhesion allowing for blood clots

20
Q

What is Leukocyte adhesion deficiency?

  • Cause
  • Symptom
A
  • No selectins on endothelial cells of blood vessels
  • Leukocytes aren’t slowed down enough to be grabbed and extravasularized by endothelial cells, which allows for the immune response
21
Q

3 areas of the body where the basal lamina is essential.

A
  1. Muscle
  2. Epithelium
  3. Kidney Glomerulus

**Overall purpose of basal lamina is to separate types of ECM and cells

22
Q

What is separted by the basal lamina in:

  • Muscle
  • Epithelium
  • Kidney Glomerulus
A

Kidney Glomerulus:
Epithelial Cell from Endothelial Cell

Muscle:
Cell from CT

Epithelium:
Cell from CT

23
Q

What type of collagen is important in the basal lamina?

- associated proteins

A
  • TYPE IV

- Laminin binds type IV collagen linking it to cell surrounding the basement membrane

24
Q

Laminin

  • Shape
  • What it binds
A
  • Cross shaped

Can bind:

  • Perlecan
  • Type IV collagen
  • Nidogen
25
Q

What proteins allow for retinal cells and liver cells to find each other among other cell types?

A

Cadherins (Ca2+ dependent)

26
Q

What role does the basal lamina play in the kidney?

A

Filtration - larger macromolecules are retained in the blood vessels, smaller wastes go into urinary space

27
Q

In most cases what restricts cells to their environment?

A

Integrins

28
Q

What problems do integrins pose to cancers that want to metastasize?

A
  • Keeps them from moving around through different basal laminae/ compartment

**To metastasize they must overcome this barrier

29
Q

STEPS CANCER CELLS MUST TAKE TO METASTASIZE

A
  1. Invasive cell must break through basal lamina using MMPs
  2. Must be able to move through tissue to get to BVs (requires NEW integrins)
  3. Penetrate 2nd basal lamina to enter and survive in blood/lymph
  4. Must move and survive in a SECOND NEW ECM.
30
Q

T or F: laminin is a glycoprotein

A

True
