In this work we compared the level, localization and binding partners of a calcium binding protein, S100A6, in extracellular matrix of Wharton's jelly of healthy and preeclamptic patients.Studies were performed on the umbilical cords taken from 10 newborns delivered by healthy and 10 newborns delivered by preeclamptic mothers. To characterize S100A6 in Wharton's jelly immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry...
We previously described that the growth of human uterine leiomyomas was associated with a significant remodelling of the extracellular matrix of these tumours. Significant weight-related increase of collagen and heparan sulphate contents was detected. The latter was known as a component, which bound some peptide growth factors, mainly FGFs, therefore it was decided to evaluate the amounts of acidic...
This study has assessed the amounts of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) and their binding to extracellular matrix components of Wharton's jelly. Studies were performed on the umbilical cords taken from human newborns delivered by healthy mothers. Wharton's...
Collagens are the main components of the extracellular matrix and they constitute about 30% of total body protein. Each collagen molecule consists of three polypeptide chains that intertwine in one or more places into triple helical domains, a very rare structure in other proteins. Nineteen collagen types have been described to date and those forming banded fibrils are the most abundant. In the last...
