Abstract

Polymerization of the ECM proteins fibronectin and laminin has been shown to take place in close vicinity to the cell surface and be facilitated by beta(1) integrins (Lohikangas, L., Gullberg, D., and Johansson, S. (2001) Exp. Cell Res. 265, 135-144 and Wennerberg, K., Lohikangas, L., Gullberg, D., Pfaff, M., Johansson, S., and Fassler, R. (1996) J. Cell Biol. 132, 227-238). We have studied the role of collagen receptors, integrins alpha(11)beta(1) and alpha(2)beta(1), and fibronectin in collagen polymerization using fibronectin-deficient mouse embryonic fibroblast cell lines. In contrast to the earlier belief that collagen polymerization occurs via self-assembly of collagen molecules we show that a preformed fibronectin matrix is essential for collagen network formation and that collagen-binding integrins strongly enhance this process. Thus, collagen deposition is regulated by the cells, both indirectly through integrin alpha(5)beta(1)-dependent polymerization of fibronectin and directly through collagen-binding integrins.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
