Abstract:

To study vimentin filament organization in vivo we injected Xenopus oocytes, which have no significant vimentin system of their own, with in vitro-synthesized RNAs encoding Xenopus vimentins. Exogenous vimentins were localized primarily to the cytoplasmic surface of the nucleus and to the subplasma membrane "cortex." In the cortex of the animal hemisphere, wild-type vimentin forms punctate structures and short filaments. In contrast, long anastomosing vimentin filaments are formed in the vegetal hemisphere cortex. This asymmetry in the organization of exogenous vimentin is similar to that of t

Abstract:

Vimentin is a type of intermediate filament (IF) and one of the first filaments expressed in spermatogenesis. Vimentin plays numerous roles, consisting of the determination of cell shape, differentiation, cell motility, the maintenance of cell junctions, intracellular trafficking, and assisting in keeping normal differentiating germ cell morphology. This study investigated the vimentin expression in two populations of undifferentiated and differentiated spermatogonia. We examined vimentin expression in vivo and in vitro by immunocytochemistry (ICC), immunohistochemistry (IMH), and Fluidigm rea

Here, we describe our findings how vimentin 3 is part of the signaling pathways from Endothelin-1 (ET-1) and the Endothelin-A-Receptor (ETAR) and how it correlates with aggressive tumor behavior in a PCa cell culture and in human tissue and serum samples from PCa patients.

Abstract:

The intermediate filament vimentin is required for cells to transition from the epithelial state to the mesenchymal state and migrate as single cells; however, little is known about the specific role of vimentin in the regulation of mesenchymal migration. Vimentin is known to have a significantly greater ability to resist stress without breaking in vitro compared with actin or microtubules, and also to increase cell elasticity in vivo. Therefore, we hypothesized that the presence of vimentin could support the anisotropic mechanical strain of single-cell migration. To study this, we fluorescent

Airway smooth muscle cell migration plays a role in the progression of airway remodeling, a hallmark of allergic asthma. However, the mechanisms that regulate cell migration are not yet entirely understood.

Its role in cell migration is not fully understood. Here, nestin knockdown (KD) inhibited the migration of human airway smooth muscle cells.

The tail domain of the intermediate filament (IF) protein vimentin is unnecessary for IF assembly in vitro. To study the role of vimentin's tail in vivo, we constructed a plasmid that directs the synthesis of a ‘myc-tagged’ version of the Xenopus vimentin-1 tail domain in bacteria. This polypeptide, mycVimTail, was purified to near homogeneity and injected into cultured Xenopus A6 cells. In these cells the tail polypeptide co-localized with actin even in the presence of cytochalasin. Two myc-tagged control polypeptides argue for the specificity of this interaction. First, a similarly myc-tagge

Background: Epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a significant role in the development of cancer cell resistance to drugs. Vimentin, a type III intermediate filament protein, is a marker of EMT. Vimentin's over-expression in cancer correlates well with increased tumor growth, change in cell shape and poor prognosis. Endoxifen is an active metabolite of tamoxifen and has become a new potent agent in the treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract:

The integration of the vimentin intermediate filament (IF) cytoskeleton and cellular organelles in vivo is an incompletely understood process, and the identities of proteins participating in such events are largely unknown. Here, we show that the Golgi complex interacts with the vimentin IF cytoskeleton, and that the Golgi protein formiminotransferase cyclodeaminase (FTCD) participates in this interaction. We show that the peripherally associated Golgi protein FTCD binds directly to vimentin subunits and to polymerized vimentin filaments in vivo and in vitro. Expression of FTCD in cultured cel

Abstract:

Vimentin is one of the intermediate filaments that functions in structural support, signal transduction and organelle positioning of a cell. In the present study, we report the contribution of vimentin in mitochondrial morphology and organization. Using subcellular fractionation, immunoprecipitation and fluorescence microscopy analyses, we found that vimentin was associated with mitochondria. Knockdown of vimentin resulted in mitochondrial fragmentation, swelling and disorganization. We further demonstrated that the vimentin cytoskeleton co-localized and interacted with mitochondria to a great

Sertoli cells (SCs) in the testes provide physical and nutritional support to germ cells. The vimentin cytoskeleton in SCs is disrupted by dibutyl phthalate (DBP), which leads to SCs dysfunction.

In the present study, we investigated the role of Smad2/3 in regulating the expression of vimentin in DBP-exposed SCs.

In this study we demonstrate that stimulation with platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) leads to a marked reorganization of the vimentin filaments in porcine aortic endothelial (PAE) cells ectopically expressing the PDGF beta-receptor.

The solubility of vimentin upon Nonidet-P40-extraction of cells decreased considerably after PDGF stimulation, indicating that PDGF caused a redistribution of vimentin to a less soluble compartment.

In most myogenic systems, synthesis of the intermediate filament (IF) protein vimentin precedes the synthesis of the muscle-specific IF protein desmin.

To determine whether the organization of IFs in the Xenopus myotome reflects features unique to Xenopus or is due to specific properties of desmin, we used the injection of plasmid DNA to

By contrast, cells treated with small interfering RNA (siRNA) to knock down filamin A or vimentin were poorly spread; both of these cell populations exh

The mitosis-specific vimentin phosphorylation by PKC was dramatically enhanced by treatment with a PKC activator, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), while no phosphorylation of vimentin by PKC was observed in interphase cells treated with TPA.

We have analyzed the potential role of one of the major protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) regulatory subunits, B55, in vimentin dephosphorylation.

Vimentin is an intermediate filament protein that plays key roles in integration of cytoskeletal functions, and therefore in basic cellular processes such as cell division and migration. Consequently, vimentin has complex implications in pathophysiology. Vimentin is required for a proper immune response, but it can also act as an autoantigen in autoimmune diseases or as a damage signal. Although vimentin is a predominantly cytoplasmic protein, it can also appear at extracellular locations, either in a secreted form or at the surface of numerous cell types, often in relation to cell activation,
