1 8074995 However, P-cadherin, plakoglobin and vinculin are the only markers detected in future glomerular cells.
2 9422981 The cytoplasmic focal adhesion proteins vinculin, talin, paxillin, p130CAS, and pp125FAK were detected, although vinculin appeared to be confined mainly to the mesangium.
3 11553524 CD2AP and p130Cas localize to different F-actin structures in podocytes.
4 11553524 Mice lacking the 80-kDa CD2-associated protein (CD2AP) develop progressive renal failure that starts soon after birth with proteinuria and foot process effacement by unknown mechanisms.
5 11553524 CD2AP has been identified and cloned independently by virtue of its interaction with the T cell protein CD2 and with the docking protein p130Cas.
6 11553524 In the present study we examined the localization of CD2AP and p130Cas in the mouse glomerulus and in cultured podocytes.
7 11553524 In glomeruli, CD2AP and p130Cas immunofluorescence were observed in podocytes, where they colocalized with F-actin in foot processes.
8 11553524 In cultured podocytes, p130Cas was enriched at sites of focal adhesions, where it colocalized like vinculin with F-actin at stress fiber ends.
9 11553524 The spot-shaped F-actin structures were also stained by antibodies against the actin nucleation Arp2/3 complex and cortactin, both contributing to dynamic actin assembly.
10 11553524 Moreover, CD2AP spots in cultured podocytes were in close spatial association with actinin-4, but not actinin-1.
11 11553524 Our results suggest that CD2AP and p130Cas, which both colocalize with F-actin in podocytes in situ, possess different functions.
12 11553524 Whereas p130Cas is found in focal adhesions, CD2AP seems to be involved in the regulation of highly dynamic F-actin structures in podocyte foot processes.
