Lysyl oxidase (LO) stabilizes the extracellular matrix by cross-linking collagen and elastin. To assess the transcriptional regulation of LO, we cloned the 5′-flanking region with 3,979 bp of the rat LO gene. LO transcription started at multiple si

To probe mechanisms of cadmium (Cd) damage to the lung extracellular matrix (ECM), we developed Cd-resistant (CdR) rat lung fibroblasts (RFL6) by incubation with graded concentrations of Cd. CdR cells downregulated lysyl oxidase (LO), a copper (Cu)-d

Copper (Cu)-dependent lysyl oxidase (LO) catalyzes crosslinking of collagen and elastin stabilizing the extracellular matrix (ECM). Chronic inhalation of cadmium (Cd), a toxic metal, induces emphysema. To probe mechanisms of Cd injury to the lung, we

Microtubule (MT) assembly in vitro is accompanied by hydrolysis of tubulin-bound GTP at E-site. Ni2+, a human carcinogen, has been shown to markedly perturb the MT system in cultured cells and enhance MT assembly in vitro. To further probe the mechan

Lysyl oxidase (LO) plays a central role in the crosslinking of collagen and elastin in the extracellular matrix. Here we demonstrate that basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), a polypeptide which regulates proliferation, differentiation, and migrati

Lysyl oxidase (LO), an enzyme secreted by vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), initiates the covalent crosslinking of polypeptide chains within collagen and elastin. The present study reveals that purified LO strongly induces directional migration of

To understand further the mechanisms of cadmium toxicity, cytoskeletal organization and homeostasis of cellular thiols were examined in cadmium-resistant cells isolated from Swiss mouse 3T3 cells by incubation in graded concentrations of CdCl2 (Cd2+)

The effects of As3+ (NaAsO2) on the microtubule and microfilament organization, cytoskeletal protein synthesis, cytoskeletal and cytosolic (soluble) protein sulfhydryls, and cellular glutathione (GSH) levels were examined in Swiss 3T3 mouse cells. Ex
