Extracellular matrix-mediated cellular communication in the heart

Abstract: The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex and dynamic scaffold that maintains tissue structure and dynamics. However, the view of the ECM as an inert architectural support has been increasingly challenged. The ECM is a vibrant meshwork, a crucial organizer of cellular microenvironments. It plays a direct role in cellular interactions regulating cell growth, survival, spreading, proliferation, differentiation and migration through the intricate relationship among cellular and acellular tissue components.

“…Then these proteins contribute to the structure of the ECM, and modulate cellular functions such as adhesion, diferentiation, migration, stability of phenotype, and resistance towards apoptosis. Integrin also plays an essential role in the assembly of ibrillin-1 into a structured network [78,89]. Fibulins are tightly connected with basement membranes, elastic ibres and other components of extracellular matrix and participate in formation of elastic ibres [83,86].…”

“…Under normal conditions, the ECM provides structural support for the heart, acts as a reservoir for cytokines and growth factors and provides a connection with surrounding cells that is important for transmission of extracellular cues [27,78]. Following pathologic stimulation, the ECM undergoes remodelling of its structural components and matricellular protein levels, for example; ibroblasts are inluenced by autocrine and paracrine signal, and they are responsible for secretion and regulation of the ECM.…”

“…Collagen is also implicated in the induction of proliferation via FAK activation and downstream signaling pathways (Src, MEK, PI3-kinase, and p38 MAPK). In addition, collagen participates in cell spreading through p130Cas phosphorylation via FAK-dependent and FAK-independent integrin receptor pathways [9,10]. Finally, collagen plays a key role in cell migration through the activation of FAK and PI3-K, leading to elevated Rac1 activity as a downstream consequence in activated cell migration [11].…”
