Journal ArticleDOI
Cytochemical, biochemical and molecular aspects of the process of keratinization in the epidermis of reptilian scales.
Lorenzo Alibardi,Mattia Toni +1 more
TL;DR: Comparative aspects of epidermal keratinization in reptiles, chelonians (turtles and tortoises), lepidosaurian (lizards, snakes, sphenodontids), archosaurians (crocodilians), and derived amniotes represent the next step to understand the evolution of cornification in reptiles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hard (Beta-)keratins in the epidermis of reptiles: composition, sequence, and molecular organization.
TL;DR: It is suggested that beta-keratins represent the reptilian counterpart of keratin associated or matrix proteins present in mammalian hairs, claws, and horns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Colocalization prostacyclin (PGI2) synthase--caveolin-1 in endothelial cells and new roles for PGI2 in angiogenesis.
Enzo Spisni,Cristiana Griffoni,Spartaco Santi,Massimo Riccio,Roberta Marulli,Giovanna Bartolini,Mattia Toni,Volker Ullrich,Vittorio Tomasi +8 more
TL;DR: A double approach based on the usage of filipin as a specific caveolae-disrupting agent and antisense oligonucleotides targeting PGI2 synthase mRNA suggests that the production of PGI 2 in Caveolae is likely to be connected to the regulation of angiogenesis, at least in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of hard proteins in the sauropsid integument in relation to the cornification of skin derivatives in amniotes
TL;DR: In this article, the nucleotide and derived amino acid sequences for these sauropsid keratin-associated proteins are presented in conjunction with a hypothesis about their evolution in reptiles-birds compared to mammalian keratinassociated proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Involvement of caveolae and caveolae-like domains in signalling, cell survival and angiogenesis
TL;DR: It has been demonstrated that PrP(c), previously described as an endoplasmic reticulum component, is bound to cav-1 and, by recruiting Fyn kinase, can participate in signal transduction events connected to cell survival and differentiation.
