Fig. 8. Decrease in
6 integrin levels and hemidesmosomes by activation of
Myc. (A,B) Immunolabelling of the epidermis with antibodies to
6 of (A)
wild-type mice or (B) transgenic mice after 4 days treatment with OHT. (C-F)
Electron microscopy of the basement membrane zone of skin from transgenic mice
(D,F) and wild-type mice (C,E) treated for 9 days with OHT. Arrows in C, D and
E indicate hemidesmosomes. Arrows in F indicate absence of hemidesmosomes at
the basement membrane. Scale bars: 5 µm (B), 200 nm (D), 1 µm (F). BM,
basement membrane; IFE, interfollicular epidermis; HF, hair follicle.
