Adhesion-promoting factors fibronectin

Fibronectin is an extracellular matrix protein that mediates a variety of cellular effects. It is important in cell-cell and cell-substratum interactions ( 3.9), mediates reticuloendothelial cell activity and binds both to Clq (the first component of complement) and to bacteria. It also increases the tu-mouricidal activity of macrophages and activates complement receptors, by regulating the binding of C3b-coated particles to neutrophils. It may mediate attachment of Staphylococcus aureus to neutrophils and may also play a role as an adhesion factor, promoting the adhesion of neutrophils to surfaces. Fibronectin mRNA (8.7-8.8 kb) is detected only at low levels in... [Pg.257]
