Effect of extracellular matrix (ECM) on Clara cell differentiation through P21 regulation

Cell-matrix interactions or disruption affects the cell cycle regulation in various ways and thus the extracellular Matrix (ECM) can control cell differentiation In this study, Clara cells obtained fonn both wildtype (wt) and p2l knockout (p2l ko) mice were isolated and cultured on different ECM combinations, A lower expression of cytokeratins 8,18 and 19 in illillttached Clara cells from p21 knockout (ko) mice compared to wildtype (wt) mice was observed. The expressions of cytokeratin 8 and 19 were significantly higher in primary Clara cells cultures when laminin formed part of the ECM composition. The cell-matrix disruption also played an important part on Clara cells differentiation process.
