Abstract

Collagen XVII (COL17) participates in keratinocyte adhesion and possibly migration, as COL17 defects disrupt keratinocyte-basal lamina adhesion and underlie the disease non-Herlitz junctional epidermolysis bullosa. Using small interference RNA (siRNA) to knock down COL17 expression in HaCaT cells, we assessed cell characteristics, including adhesion, migration, and signaling. Control and siRNA-transfected keratinocytes showed no difference in adhesion on plastic dishes after incubation for 8 hours in serum-free keratinocyte-growth medium; however, when grown on collagen IV alone or BD matrigel (containing collagen IV and laminin isoforms), COL17-deficient cells showed significantly reduced adhesion compared with controls (P<0.01), and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/ERK kinase (MEK)1/2 and MAPK showed reduced phosphorylation. Furthermore, COL17-deficient HaCaT cells plated on plastic exhibited reduced motility that was p38MAPK-dependent (after addition of the p38MAPK inhibitor SB203580). Together, these results suggest that COL17 has significantly wider signaling roles than were previously thought, including the involvement of COL17 in keratinocyte adhesion to collagen IV, in p38MAPK-dependent cell migration, and multiple cell signaling events pertaining to MEK1/2 phosphorylation.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 July 2009.
All research outputs
#17,285,036
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Investigative Dermatology
#7,395
of 8,994 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#93,534
of 109,210 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Investigative Dermatology
#50
of 53 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,994 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.4. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 109,210 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 53 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
