Extracellular matrix and neurite outgrowth

https://doi.org/10.1016/S0959-437X(05)80183-2Get rights and content

The complex relationship between neuronal cells and the extracellular matrix molecules with which they interact both positively and negatively is currently being investigated on many fronts. Major areas of experimental emphasis include the characterization of an increasing number of extracellular matrix and cell surface associated molecules, the identification of receptors for these molecules, and the analysis of the function of extracellular matrix molecules with respect to neuronal process outgrowth.

      Concerning cell morphology, the ECM further affected significantly the formation of cellular extensions (Figs. 1 and 2). These characteristics – cytoskeleton, morphology, extensions – are strongly correlated with FAK, since it stimulates actin polymerization and the forming of filopodia and others in a Cdc42-dependent, but Rho-independent manner [12,28–30]. It is supported by the documented statistically significant ECM-effects on FAK in Table 2.
