Effects of cCAF and its peptides on the production of TN
Therefore, it is possible that alterations in the activities of integrins or adhesive sites on other ECM molecules induced by the whole cCAF molecule, and not by the N-peptide, could affect FN accumulation [ 47 ] . We are currently pursuing studies to determine whether adhesion molecules or other ECM molecules play a role in FN accumulation due to cCAF-induced TN production.
Some of the fibroblasts differentiate into myofibroblasts, which contract to close the wound [ 4 14 15 ] . Myofibroblasts are fibrogenic, showing elevated expression of interstitial collagens, laminin, FN and TN, and inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases such as TIMP-1 [ 15 16 17 18 19 ] . Because cCAF is expressed highly in the granulation tissue of wounds in areas where ECM is abundant [ 3 6 11 ] , and it stimulates fibroblasts to differentiate into myofibroblasts [ 4 ] , we investigated whether this chemokine stimulates the production of the four major ECM molecules mentioned above, interstitial Colls I and III, TN and cellular FN.
Proliferation was also significantly higher at the fetal TN3 stage compared to adult (50% increase, p < 0.01).
The decrease in DP cells is associated with increased apoptosis in both pre-DP and DP cells [ 29 ] . As the defects at the TN to DP transition in these mutants are caused by defective TEC function rather than thymocyte-intrinsic defects, these mice represent an opportunity to study the role of TECs in promoting this transition.
