Disease relevance of Eln

 

Psychiatry related information on Eln

  • These observations demonstrate that long-term alcohol consumption up-regulates MMP-2 activity, which is coincident with the alteration of aortic ECM composition through the degradation of vascular elastin components [6].

Associations of Eln with chemical compounds

  • Based on known tropoelastin sequences and the molecular weights of the discrete fragments, additional fragmentation of protropoelastin and/or tropoelastin most likely occurs at the lysine/alanine-enriched domains presumably involved in cross-link formation [19].
  • Since cysteine is present only in the carboxyl-terminal end of the molecule, all the data indicate that the cleavage of the elastin fragments identified in the culture are occurring at the carboxyl end of protropoelastin [19].
  • All soluble elastin components present in the medium were purified as a single peak by high performance liquid chromatography; further separation of the components was achieved by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and electroblotting [19].
  • METHODS: Rat MCs cultured in media containing either 8 or 35 mM glucose were seeded into culture plates with elastin-coated flexible bottoms [20].
  • Resected lungs were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, Masson's trichrome, and Van Gieson's elastin, and immunostained with antisera to interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-8, and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) [21].

Other interactions of Eln

  • These findings indicate that endogenous TGF-beta s, in cultured LF, regulate elastin gene expression, most likely by a posttranscriptional mechanism [15].
  • These results suggest that bFGF decreases elastin transcription [16].
  • The addition of PD-98059, an inhibitor of ERK1/2 kinase, abrogates the bFGF-dependent decrease of elastin mRNA in SMC [17].
  • Elastin degradation associated with matrix metalloproteinase activity is a cell-mediated process, observed in almost all types of vascular calcification [27].
  • Using RT-PCR and specific protein assays, we demonstrated that rat aortic SMCs incubated with elastin peptides exhibited an increased expression of the 67 kDa elastin laminin receptor (ELR) and matrix metalloproteinase-2 and typical bone proteins, such as core binding factor alpha-1, osteocalcin, and alkaline phosphatase [27].
