title: [Various effects of laminin-1 and laminin-2/4 on adhesion and migration of cultured human keratinocytes].
abstract: The cell-matrix interaction is one of the factors defining the cell behavior in normal and wounded tissues. To determine the function of laminin-2/4, one of components of the skin basement membrane in the process of reepithelization, we studied its interaction with human keratinocytes. The adhesive properties of laminin-2/4 and its effect on keratinocytes migration in vitro were analysed. For comparison with our present investigation, we used the earlier studied laminin-1 from EHS mouse sarcoma. Laminin-2/4 appeared to be a good substrate for human keratinocytes, and this correlates with a greater number of cell surface receptors compared with laminin-1. Laminin-2/4 alone does not stimulate keratinocyte migration, but, in contrast to laminin-1, supports EGF-mediated migration. The obtained results give an insight into the function of laminin-2/4 in normal skin and during wound healing.
