      Background: Neuroinflammation involves cytokine release, astrocyte reactivity and migration. Neuronal Thy-1 promotes DITNC1 astrocyte migration by engaging alpha(V)beta(3) Integrin and Syndecan-4. Primary astrocytes express ...
    • Ortiz, Rina; Díaz Jara, Jorge; Díaz, Natalia; Lobos González, Lorena; Cárdenas, Areli; Contreras, Pamela; Díaz, María Inés; Otte, Ellen; Cooper- White, Justin; Torres Gómez, Vicente; Leyton Campos, Lisette; Quest, Andrew F. G. (Impact Journals LLC, 2016)
      Caveolin-1 (CAV1) is a scaffolding protein that plays a dual role in cancer. In advanced stages of this disease, CAV1 expression in tumor cells is associated with enhanced metastatic potential, while, at earlier stages, ...
    • Álvarez, Álvaro; Lagos Cabré, Raúl; Kong, Milene; Cárdenas, Areli; Burgos Bravo, Francesca; Schneider, Pascal; Quest, Andrew F. G.; Leyton Campos, Lisette (Elsevier, 2016)
      Our previous reports indicate that ligand-induced alpha(v)beta(3) integrin and Syndecan-4 engagement increases focal adhesion formation and migration of astrocytes. Additionally, ligated integrins trigger ATP release through ...
    • Kong, Milene; Muñoz, Nicolás; Valdivia, Alejandra; Alvarez, Alvaro; Herrera Molina, Rodrigo; Cárdenas, Areli; Schneider, Pascal; Burridge, Keith; Quest, Andrew F. G.; Leyton Campos, Lisette (2013)
      Cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix proteins occurs through interactions with integrins that bind to Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) tripeptides, and syndecan-4, which recognizes the heparin-binding domain of other proteins. Both ...
