-
That target is an immune system compound called tenascin-C.
-
TGF-β1 also regulates the behaviour of keratinocytes by inducing the expression of various ECM proteins such as tenascin, thrombospondin, fibronectin, vitronectin, collagen and several proteoglycans etc.

Whitby DJ, Longaker MT, Adzick NS, Harrison MR, Ferguson MWJ: Rapid epithelialization of fetal wounds is associated with the early deposition of tenascin.
-
As shown in Figure 2A-B, tenascin-C induced 14-3-3τ and Beclin 1 when compared with fibronectin control, and the induction of Beclin 1 was blocked when 14-3-3τ was depleted.

The regulation is physiologically relevant as an extracellular matrix protein tenascin-C, a known 14-3-3τ inducer, can induce Beclin 1 through 14-3-3τ.

These include well-established adhesion molecules and receptors such as brevican, tenascin C, integrin αv, and dystroglycan-1, some of which are critical for structural integrity of the glial scaffold

Recent studies also showed that the expression of tenascin-C in invasion borders of early breast cancer significantly correlates with proliferative activity, higher risk of distant metastasis and local recurrence

These results indicate that the induction of Beclin 1 by tenascin-C is mediated through 14-3-3τ.

To investigate the regulation of Beclin 1 by 14-3-3τ in a physiological context, we made use of an extracellular matrix protein tenascin-C, which has been reported to induce 14-3-3τ in
