Human plasma fibronectin promotes the adhesion and spreading of platelets on surfaces coated with fibrillar collagen. 1981

This letter reports that human plasma fibronectin stimulates the interaction of platelets with fibrillar collagen (cell adhesion) and also dramatically changes the shape of adherent platelets, promoting their spreading. The stimulating effect of fibronectin is due to its interaction with collagen fibrils since free fibronectin does not influence the adhesion or spreading of platelets. The results obtained suggest a new physiological function for plasma fibronectin in the control of platelets interaction with damaged vessel walls.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D005353 Fibronectins Glycoproteins found on the surfaces of cells, particularly in fibrillar structures. The proteins are lost or reduced when these cells undergo viral or chemical transformation. They are highly susceptible to proteolysis and are substrates for activated blood coagulation factor VIII. The forms present in plasma are called cold-insoluble globulins.
