Zebrafish Laminin, alpha 4 (LAMa4) interaction partners

1. Knockdown of Lama4 in zebrafish resulted inthe same kind of cardiac dysfunction & hemorrhages seen in Ilk mutants. There is epistatic regulation between laminin-alpha4 (Lama4), integrin, and Ilk.

Human Laminin, alpha 4 (LAMa4) interaction partners

1. High LAMA4 expression is associated with gastric cancer.

2. Disruption of LAMA4, LAMA5, and LAMB2 or the laminin-receptor interaction occurs in neuromuscular diseases including Pierson syndrome and Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS). (Review)

3. highlight MCAM and LAMA4 as prime candidates for RCC prognosis and therapeutic targeting

4. LAMA4-integrin signalling affects chondrocyte morphology and gene expression, contributing to cluster formation in osteoarthritic chondrocytes.

5. LAMA4 expression is lowered in preeclamptic placentas and promotes trophoblast cell invasion, migration, and angiogenesis. hypoxia-reoxygenation decreases LAMA4 expression and decouple the relationship between LAMA4 expression and p38 and ERK activation.

6. Oxidative stress plays a vital role in controlling expression of LAMA4 through MAPK signaling pathways, which suggests a possible pathological mechanism of pre-eclampsia.

7. Laminins 411 and 421 differentially promote tumor cell migration via alpha6beta1 integrin and MCAM (CD146).

8. These results indicate that mAbs to the laminin a4 globular domain are able to inhibit tumor cell adhesion and migration on laminins 411 and 421, and that alpha6beta1 integrin and MCAM bind a4-laminins at very close sites on the globular domain

9. Data from experiment with peptide fragments suggest laminin alpha4 (and laminin alpha5) may be part of host defense response and may protect tissues from invading pathogens.

10. Laminins with alpha1, alpha4, and alpha5 chains are compared to determine laminin isoform-specific promotion of adhesion and migration of human bone marrow progenitor cells.

11. Data report the identification of a splice variant of the human laminin alpha4 subunit transcript containing 21 extra nucleotides.

12. The G domain of laminin alpha4 chain is a specific, high affinity ligand for alphavbeta3 & alpha3beta1 integrin heterodimers. These integrins, with alpha6beta1, cooperatively mediate endothelial cell-alpha4 laminin interaction & blood vessel development.

13. The alpha4 laminin subunit regulates vascular endothelium cell survival.

14. laminin alpha4 LG4 module may play an important role in cell adhesion and/or vessel wall formation in the skin by interacting with syndecan-2 and/or -4.

15. Downregulation of laminin alpha4 chain expression inhibits glioma invasion

16. laminin isoform changes are associated with brain tumor invasion and angiogenesis [review]

17. This suggests that G(1121-1139) peptide-containing proteins may perform their biological functions by interacting with alphavbeta3 integrin.

18. alpha4 chain Lms have a de-adhesive function and could thus play a role in detachment, migration and invasion of renal carcinoma cells in vivo.

19. 2 novel mutations (2828C>T [Pro943Leu] & 3217C>T [Arg1073X]) in the integrin-interacting domain of the LAMA4 gene reduce its integrin binding, & cause endothelial cell loss and heart failure.

20. LAMA4 is specifically up-regulated on both mRNA and protein levels in hepatocelluar carcinoma; potential role in hepatocarcinogenesis and tumor progression.

Mouse (Murine) Laminin, alpha 4 (LAMa4) interaction partners

1. Data (including data from studies in knockout mice) suggest that Lama4 is involved in regulation of energy metabolism, regulation of adiposity, and development of beige adipose tissue; here, Lama4 knockout mice exhibit significantly improved insulin sensitivity compared with wild-type mice, suggesting improved metabolic function.

2. Results showed maintained perturbed transmission properties at lama4(-/-) NMJs from adult (3 months) through to aged (18-22 months). Hind-limb grip force demonstrated similar trends as transmission properties, with maintained weaker grip force across age groups in lama4(-/-). Interestingly, both transmission properties and hind-limb grip force in aged wild-types resembled those observed in adult lama4(-/-).

3. Lama4-/- NMJs demonstrated a decrease in miniature end-plate potential (EPP) frequency and increased amplitude of miniature EPPs and evoked EPPs.

4. laminin alpha4 influences adipose tissue structure and function in a depot-specific manner.

5. Laminins affect T cell trafficking and allograft fate.

6. synaptic laminin are required to maintain adult neuromuscular junctions.

7. most of the integrin-mediated cell adhesive peptides are located in the loop regions in the G domains, suggesting that structure is important for the integrin specific recognition

8. simultaneous deletion of collagen type XV from neural basement membrane zones with laminin alpha4 leads to a phenotype distinct from those of both single knock-outs

9. The role of basement membrane laminin alpha4 in leukocyte recruitment to inflammatory loci, is addressed.

10. Failure of laminin alpha4-mediated down-regulation of PDGF activity contributes to the progressive renal lesions in this animal model.

11. biological functions of the laminin alpha 4 chain G domain and screening of active sites

12. heparin-binding activity of laminin alpha4 laminin-G-like domain 4

13. The activity of a cyclic peptide from a region of laminin alpha 4 on the connecting loop between the E and F strands is highly conformation-dependent, suggesting that the E-F loop structure is crucial for its biological activity.

14. peptides from the laminin alpha4 chain G domain promote neurite outgrowth activity via a specific conformation

15. mutation in the laminin alpha4 chain leads to abnormal cardiovascular extracellular structure that cause insufficient oxygen supply to the heart in cardiomyopathy

16. These results suggest that the cryptic alpha4 LG4-5 fragment derived from the laminin alpha4 chain inhibits de novo adipogenesis by modulating the effect of FGF-2 through syndecans.

17. These results show that laminins alpha4, alpha5, and beta2 play an autocrine role in coordinating post- with presynaptic maturation.

18. LM alpha4 and beta2 have roles in in vitro migration and in vivo tumorigenicity of prostate cancer cells

19. Laminin alpha4 is needed for the stability of newly formed blood vessels and may play a role in angiogenesis.
