  • In Situlocalization of Cytoskeletal Elements in the Human Trabecular
    Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science. Vol. 31. No. 9. September 1990 Cops right £• Association lor Research in Vision and Ophthalmology In Situ Localization of Cytoskeletal Elements in the Human Trabecular Meshwork and Cornea Robert N. Weinreb* and Mark I. Ryderf The authors compared cytoskeletal elements of the in situ human trabccular-mcshwork cell with in situ human corneal cells using indirect immunofluorcsccncc staining for tubulin and intermediate filaments (vimentin, cytokeratin, and desmin) and NBD-phallacidin staining for f-actin using both fixed frozen and unfixed frozen sections from postmortem eyes. Both f-actin and tubulin were found throughout the cell body of trabecular-meshwork cells, keratocytes, corneal endothelium, and corneal epithelium. The f-actin staining pattern was concentrated at the cell periphery of these four cell types. Vimentin stain was intensely localized in focal areas of the trabecular-meshwork cell, keratocytes, and throughout the corneal cndothelium. A general anticytokeratin antibody was intensely localized in corneal epithelium and endothelium. However, PKK-1 anticytokeratin antibody was seen only in superficial layers of corneal epithelium and not in corneal endothelium. The 4.62 anticytokeratin antibody was not observed in either corneal epithelium or endothelium. None of these three cytokera- tin antibodies were seen in trabccular-mcshwork cells or keratocytes. Desmin stain was not noted in any of these cell types. In general, cytoskeletal staining of unfixed frozen sections showed a similar staining pattern for f-actin and tubulin but a more uniform and intense staining pattern for vimentin and cytokcratin compared with fixed frozen material. The authors conclude that these cytoskclctal stains can differentiate human Irabeciilar-meshwork cells from cells of the cornea in situ.

Under the auspices of the World Association of Veterinary Anatomists (W.A.V.A.), the International Committee on Veterinary Anatomical Nomenclature (I.C.V.A.N.) appointed in Giessen, 1965, a Subcommittee on Histology and Embryology which started a working relation with the Subcommittee on Histology of the former International Anatomical Nomenclature Committee. In Mexico City, 1971, this Subcommittee presented a document entitled Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft as a basis for the continued work of the newly-appointed Subcommittee on Histological Nomenclature. This resulted in the editing of the Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft II (Toulouse, 1974), followed by preparations for publication of a Nomina Histologica Veterinaria.

  • Cytoskeletal Remodeling in Cancer
    biology Review Cytoskeletal Remodeling in Cancer Jaya Aseervatham Department of Ophthalmology, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, Houston, TX 77054, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +146-9767-0166 Received: 15 October 2020; Accepted: 4 November 2020; Published: 7 November 2020 Simple Summary: Cell migration is an essential process from embryogenesis to cell death. This is tightly regulated by numerous proteins that help in proper functioning of the cell. In diseases like cancer, this process is deregulated and helps in the dissemination of tumor cells from the primary site to secondary sites initiating the process of metastasis. For metastasis to be efficient, cytoskeletal components like actin, myosin, and intermediate filaments and their associated proteins should co-ordinate in an orderly fashion leading to the formation of many cellular protrusions-like lamellipodia and filopodia and invadopodia. Knowledge of this process is the key to control metastasis of cancer cells that leads to death in 90% of the patients. The focus of this review is giving an overall understanding of these process, concentrating on the changes in protein association and regulation and how the tumor cells use it to their advantage. Since the expression of cytoskeletal proteins can be directly related to the degree of malignancy, knowledge about these proteins will provide powerful tools to improve both cancer prognosis and treatment. Abstract: Successful metastasis depends on cell invasion, migration, host immune escape, extravasation, and angiogenesis. The process of cell invasion and migration relies on the dynamic changes taking place in the cytoskeletal components; actin, tubulin and intermediate filaments. This is possible due to the plasticity of the cytoskeleton and coordinated action of all the three, is crucial for the process of metastasis from the primary site.

  • Biological Functions of Cytokeratin 18 in Cancer
    Published OnlineFirst March 27, 2012; DOI: 10.1158/1541-7786.MCR-11-0222 Molecular Cancer Review Research Biological Functions of Cytokeratin 18 in Cancer Yu-Rong Weng1,2, Yun Cui1,2, and Jing-Yuan Fang1,2,3 Abstract The structural proteins cytokeratin 18 (CK18) and its coexpressed complementary partner CK8 are expressed in a variety of adult epithelial organs and may play a role in carcinogenesis. In this study, we focused on the biological functions of CK18, which is thought to modulate intracellular signaling and operates in conjunction with various related proteins. CK18 may affect carcinogenesis through several signaling pathways, including the phosphoinosi- tide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt, Wnt, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways. CK18 acts as an identical target of Akt in the PI3K/Akt pathway and of ERK1/2 in the ERK MAPK pathway, and regulation of CK18 by Wnt is involved in Akt activation. Finally, we discuss the importance of gaining a more complete understanding of the expression of CK18 during carcinogenesis, and suggest potential clinical applications of that understanding.

Cytokeratins, biochemically related to intermediate filaments (IF), form an intracellular network of filaments which contributes to the mechanical stabilizing of the cell. 19 individual polypeptides, divided into two groups, constitute the cytokeratin family. Each type of epithelial cell can be characterized by its content of cytokeratin polypeptides since the expression pattern varies with the type of epithelium. During the transformation of epithelial cells into tumours, the cytokeratin patterns are usually maintained. This property has enabled cytokeratins to be used as tumour markers, especially for tumours not easily classified. In order to evaluate cytokeratins as tumour markers, we have generated a battery of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against cytokeratins extracted from carcinomas. Five antibodies were further characterized. All reacted with cytokeratin 8 (CK 8) amongst others, but only one, TS 1, was specific for this keratin. CK 8 is o ne of the most abundant keratins in carcinomas.
