How can you use “keratinocytes” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Similar structures also occur in primary keratinocytes mediating intercellular adhesion [ 31].
Although SPARC is required for migration of dermal fibroblasts into the wound site, it is apparently not essential to the motility of keratinocytes since reepithelialization appears normal in SPARC-null mice.
The protein product of this gene is a member of the activating protein-1 (AP-1) family [ 19 ] , which upon binding to either c-fos or fos B protein form a complex that have high affinity to AP-1 binding concensus sequence [ 20 ] . A wide variety of chemicals, including growth factors, and tumor promotors increase the expression of this gene in various cell types [ 21 ] . Compared to untransfected keratinocytes, JunB-transfected cells grew more rapidly, and were highly invasive in an in vitro assay [ 22 ] . Therefore, the increased hepatic levels of junB gene, in mice treated with RU486, was expected to reflect an uncontrolled hepatocellular growth in these animals.
Other groups of functionally related genes are shown in Figure 7: some are ion channels (Figure 7d, whereas others are associated with keratinocytes (Figure 7c) or involved in the respiratory chain (Figure 7e).
TSP-1 is a homotrimeric multidomain glycoprotein synthesized and secreted by numerous cell types, including platelets, vascular smooth muscle cells and keratinocytes [ 4 ] . Due to its interaction with a wide variety of proteins, TSP-1 has been implicated in a number of biological processes including coagulation, cell adhesion, the modulation of cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, control of tumor growth and metastasis, and angiogenesis [ 10 ] . Inhibition of tumor cell proliferation has been achieved in vivo by systemic treatment with TSP-1 peptide mimetics [ 11 ] , but a correlation between primary tumor TSP-1 expression and poor prognosis has not been clearly established [ 12 ] . While there are reports that these molecules can originate from tumor cells [ 13 ] , the majority of reports have suggested that the major source of both TSP-1 and OPN is tumor-associated stroma [ 14 ] or infiltrating macrophages and lymphocytes [ 15 ] .
