19. Summary
• Snail transgenic skin is a model of tissue/tumor fibrosis
• Elastin binding protein (Fibulin-5) is elevated in
transgenic dermis
• Deletion of Fibulin-5 decreases elastin (collagen remains
elevated), dermal thickness, and corresponding tissue
stiffness
• Deletion of Fibulin-5 decreases inflammation in the fibrotic
skin
• Small increase in substrate rigidity is able to enhance a
proinflammatory response in dermal fibroblasts

26. Background on spondin-2 (aka mindin)
What is spondin-2/mindin?
• Member of the F-spondin family
• Secreted, associates with ECM
• Component of basal lamina (zebrafish)
• Ligand for integrins
• PRR – production of inflammatory cytokines
• Promotes outgrowth of hippocampal neurons
