Human laminin α2 chain LG3 domain and active peptides promoting cell adhesion, spreading, migration, and neurite outgrowth

Abstract

The present invention relates to human laminin α2 chain LG3 domain and active peptides promoting cell adhesion, spreading, migration, and neurite outgrowth. More particularly, it was found that when nerve cells are incubated using human laminin α2 chain LG3 domain and active peptides in the LG3 domain, cell adhesion, spreading, migration, and neurite outgrowth of nerve cells promote and the promotion of cell adhesion, spreading, migration, and neurite outgrowth of nerve cells are integrin-mediated and achieved by the activation of PKCδ and FAK phosphorylation. Thus, the present invention can be very useful for researches on cell adhesion, spreading, migration, and neurite outgrowth activities of cells which are focused on nerve cells and mediated by various extracellular matrix proteins including laminin, manufacture of artificial nerve conduits, burns treatment, wounds treatment, and tissue regeneration.
