Cadherins: Calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. They are important in the formation of ADHERENS JUNCTIONS between cells. Cadherins are classified by their distinct immunological and tissue specificities, either by letters (E- for epithelial, N- for neural, and P- for placental cadherins) or by numbers (cadherin-12 or N-cadherin 2 for brain-cadherin). Cadherins promote cell adhesion via a homophilic mechanism as in the construction of tissues and of the whole animal body.Desmosomal Cadherins: A single-pass transmembrane glycoproteins that mediate CALCIUM-dependent CELL ADHESION and are core components of DESMOSOMES.Desmogleins: A group of desmosomal cadherins with cytoplasmic tails that resemble those of classical CADHERINS.Desmoplakins: Desmoplakins are cytoskeletal linker proteins that anchor INTERMEDIATE FILAMENTS to the PLASMA MEMBRANE at DESMOSOMES.Desmocollins: A group of desmosomal cadherins with cytoplasmic tails that are divergent from those of classical CADHERINS. Their intracytoplasmic domains bind PLAKOGLOBIN; PLAKOPHILINS; and DESMOPLAKINS.Catenins: A family of cytoskeletal proteins that play essential roles in CELL ADHESION at ADHERENS JUNCTIONS by linking CADHERINS to the ACTIN FILAMENTS of the CYTOSKELETON.gamma Catenin: A multi-functional catenin that is highly homologous to BETA CATENIN. Gamma catenin binds CADHERINS and helps link their cytoplasmic tails to ACTIN in the CYTOSKELETON via ALPHA CATENIN. It is also found in DESMOSOMES where it mediates the link between DESMOSOMAL CADHERINS and DESMOPLAKIN.Desmosomes: A type of junction that attaches one cell to its neighbor. One of a number of differentiated regions which occur, for example, where the cytoplasmic membranes of adjacent epithelial cells are closely apposed. It consists of a circular region of each membrane together with associated intracellular microfilaments and an intercellular material which may include, for example, mucopolysaccharides. (From Glick, Glossary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1990; Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed)alpha Catenin: A catenin that binds F-ACTIN and links the CYTOSKELETON with BETA CATENIN and GAMMA CATENIN.Desmoglein 2: A CALCIUM-dependent adhesion molecule of DESMOSOMES that also plays a role in embryonic STEM CELL proliferation.Cell Adhesion: Adherence of cells to surfaces or to other cells.Cytoskeletal Proteins: Major constituent of the cytoskeleton found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. They form a flexible framework for the cell, provide attachment points for organelles and formed bodies, and make communication between parts of the cell possible.Desmoglein 1: A desmosomal cadherin that is an autoantigen in the acquired skin disorder PEMPHIGUS FOLIACEUS.Intercellular Junctions: Direct contact of a cell with a neighboring cell. Most such junctions are too small to be resolved by light microscopy, but they can be visualized by conventional or freeze-fracture electron microscopy, both of which show that the interacting CELL MEMBRANE and often the underlying CYTOPLASM and the intervening EXTRACELLULAR SPACE are highly specialized in these regions. (From Alberts et al., Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2d ed, p792)beta Catenin: A multi-functional catenin that participates in CELL ADHESION and nuclear signaling. Beta catenin binds CADHERINS and helps link their cytoplasmic tails to the ACTIN in the CYTOSKELETON via ALPHA CATENIN. It also serves as a transcriptional co-activator and downstream component of WNT PROTEIN-mediated SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION PATHWAYS.Adherens Junctions: Anchoring points where the CYTOSKELETON of neighboring cells are connected to each other. They are composed of specialized areas of the plasma membrane where bundles of the ACTIN CYTOSKELETON attach to the membrane through the transmembrane linkers, CADHERINS, which in turn attach through their extracellular domains to cadherins in the neighboring cell membranes. In sheets of cells, they form into adhesion belts (zonula adherens) that go all the way around a cell.Cell Adhesion Molecules: Surface ligands, usually glycoproteins, that mediate cell-to-cell adhesion. Their functions include the assembly and interconnection of various vertebrate systems, as well as maintenance of tissue integration, wound healing, morphogenic movements, cellular migrations, and metastasis.Cell Aggregation: The phenomenon by which dissociated cells intermixed in vitro tend to group themselves with cells of their own type.Desmoglein 3: A desmosomal cadherin that is an autoantigen in the acquired skin disorder PEMPHIGUS VULGARIS.Armadillo Domain Proteins: A family of proteins that contain several 42-amino acid repeat domains and are homologous to the Drosophila armadillo protein. They bind to other proteins through their armadillo domains and play a variety of roles in the CELL including SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION, regulation of DESMOSOME assembly, and CELL ADHESION.Trans-Activators: Diffusible gene products that act on homologous or heterologous molecules of viral or cellular DNA to regulate the expression of proteins.Morphogenesis: The development of anatomical structures to create the form of a single- or multi-cell organism.

Disulfide bridges between cysteines in two different parts of the polypeptide chain along with other interactions between the chains play a role in the formation and stabilization of tertiary structure. Small proteins usually consist of only one domain but larger proteins may contain a number of domains connected by segments of polypeptide chain which lack regular secondary structure.Molecular Sequence Data: Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as GENBANK, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF), or other sequence repositories.Cell Communication: Any of several ways in which living cells of an organism communicate with one another, whether by direct contact between cells or by means of chemical signals carried by neurotransmitter substances, hormones, and cyclic AMP.Protein Binding: The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments.Amino Acid Sequence: The order of amino acids as they occur in a polypeptide chain. This is referred to as the primary structure of proteins. It is of fundamental importance in determining PROTEIN CONFORMATION.Pemphigus: Group of chronic blistering diseases characterized histologically by ACANTHOLYSIS and blister formation within the EPIDERMIS.Receptor-Like Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases, Class 2: A subclass of receptor-like protein tryosine phosphatases that contain multiple extracellular immunoglobulin G-like domains and fibronectin type III-like domains.

Many of these proteins have been the subject of scientific investigations in the area of MORPHOGENESIS and development.Vinculin: A cytoskeletal protein associated with cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. The amino acid sequence of human vinculin has been determined. The protein consists of 1066 amino acid residues and its gene has been assigned to chromosome 10.Receptor-Like Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases, Class 8: A subclass of receptor-like protein tryosine phosphatases that contain an extracellular RDGS-adhesion recognition motif and a single cytosolic protein tyrosine phosphate domain.Keratinocytes: Epidermal cells which synthesize keratin and undergo characteristic changes as they move upward from the basal layers of the epidermis to the cornified (horny) layer of the skin. Successive stages of differentiation of the keratinocytes forming the epidermal layers are basal cell, spinous or prickle cell, and the granular cell.Cells, Cultured: Cells propagated in vitro in special media conducive to their growth. Cultured cells are used to study developmental, morphologic, metabolic, physiologic, and genetic processes, among others.Actins: Filamentous proteins that are the main constituent of the thin filaments of muscle fibers. The filaments (known also as filamentous or F-actin) can be dissociated into their globular subunits; each subunit is composed of a single polypeptide 375 amino acids long. This is known as globular or G-actin. In conjunction with MYOSINS, actin is responsible for the contraction and relaxation of muscle.Cell Polarity: Orientation of intracellular structures especially with respect to the apical and basolateral domains of the plasma membrane. Polarized cells must direct proteins from the Golgi apparatus to the appropriate domain since tight junctions prevent proteins from diffusing between the two domains.Epithelial Cells: Cells that line the inner and outer surfaces of the body by forming cellular layers (EPITHELIUM) or masses. Epithelial cells lining the SKIN; the MOUTH; the NOSE; and the ANAL CANAL derive from ectoderm; those lining the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM and the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM derive from endoderm; others (CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM and LYMPHATIC SYSTEM) derive from mesoderm. Epithelial cells can be classified mainly by cell shape and function into squamous, glandular and transitional epithelial cells.PhosphoproteinsRecombinant Fusion Proteins: Recombinant proteins produced by the GENETIC TRANSLATION of fused genes formed by the combination of NUCLEIC ACID REGULATORY SEQUENCES of one or more genes with the protein coding sequences of one or more genes.Cell-Matrix Junctions: Specialized areas at the CELL MEMBRANE where a cell attaches to the EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX or other substratum.In Situ Hybridization: A technique that localizes specific nucleic acid sequences within intact chromosomes, eukaryotic cells, or bacterial cells through the use of specific nucleic acid-labeled probes.Signal Transduction: The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.Fluorescent Antibody Technique: Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.Cell Line: Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely.Transfection: The uptake of naked or purified DNA by CELLS, usually meaning the process as it occurs in eukaryotic cells. It is analogous to bacterial transformation (TRANSFORMATION, BACTERIAL) and both are routinely employed in GENE TRANSFER TECHNIQUES.Precipitin Tests: Serologic tests in which a positive reaction manifested by visible CHEMICAL PRECIPITATION occurs when a soluble ANTIGEN reacts with its precipitins, i.e., ANTIBODIES that can form a precipitate.DNA, Complementary: Single-stranded complementary DNA synthesized from an RNA template by the action of RNA-dependent DNA polymerase. cDNA (i.e., complementary DNA, not circular DNA, not C-DNA) is used in a variety of molecular cloning experiments as well as serving as a specific hybridization probe.Cell Movement: The movement of cells from one location to another. Distinguish from CYTOKINESIS which is the process of dividing the CYTOPLASM of a cell.Immunoblotting: Immunologic method used for detecting or quantifying immunoreactive substances. The substance is identified by first immobilizing it by blotting onto a membrane and then tagging it with labeled antibodies.Integrins: A family of transmembrane glycoproteins (MEMBRANE GLYCOPROTEINS) consisting of noncovalent heterodimers. They interact with a wide variety of ligands including EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX PROTEINS; COMPLEMENT, and other cells, while their intracellular domains interact with the CYTOSKELETON. The integrins consist of at least three identified families: the cytoadhesin receptors(RECEPTORS, CYTOADHESIN), the leukocyte adhesion receptors (RECEPTORS, LEUKOCYTE ADHESION), and the VERY LATE ANTIGEN RECEPTORS. Each family contains a common beta-subunit (INTEGRIN BETA CHAINS) combined with one or more distinct alpha-subunits (INTEGRIN ALPHA CHAINS). These receptors participate in cell-matrix and cell-cell adhesion in many physiologically important processes, including embryological development; HEMOSTASIS; THROMBOSIS; WOUND HEALING; immune and nonimmune defense mechanisms; and oncogenic transformation.Base Sequence: The sequence of PURINES and PYRIMIDINES in nucleic acids and polynucleotides.

Explanations for the clinical and microscopic localization of lesions in pemphigus foliaceus and vulgaris. (1/6757)

Patients with pemphigus foliaceus (PF) have blisters on skin, but not mucous membranes, whereas patients with pemphigus vulgaris (PV) develop blisters on mucous membranes and/or skin. PF and PV blisters are due to loss of keratinocyte cell-cell adhesion in the superficial and deep epidermis, respectively. PF autoantibodies are directed against desmoglein (Dsg) 1; PV autoantibodies bind Dsg3 or both Dsg3 and Dsg1. In this study, we test the hypothesis that coexpression of Dsg1 and Dsg3 in keratinocytes protects against pathology due to antibody-induced dysfunction of either one alone. Using passive transfer of pemphigus IgG to normal and DSG3(null) neonatal mice, we show that in the areas of epidermis and mucous membrane that coexpress Dsg1 and Dsg3, antibodies against either desmoglein alone do not cause spontaneous blisters, but antibodies against both do. In areas (such as superficial epidermis of normal mice) where Dsg1 without Dsg3 is expressed, anti-Dsg1 antibodies alone can cause blisters. Thus, the anti-desmoglein antibody profiles in pemphigus sera and the normal tissue distributions of Dsg1 and Dsg3 determine the sites of blister formation. These studies suggest that pemphigus autoantibodies inhibit the adhesive function of desmoglein proteins, and demonstrate that either Dsg1 or Dsg3 alone is sufficient to maintain keratinocyte adhesion.  (+info)

p27 is involved in N-cadherin-mediated contact inhibition of cell growth and S-phase entry. (2/6757)

In this study the direct involvement of cadherins in adhesion-mediated growth inhibition was investigated. It is shown here that overexpression of N-cadherin in CHO cells significantly suppresses their growth rate. Interaction of these cells and two additional fibroblastic lines with synthetic beads coated with N-cadherin ligands (recombinant N-cadherin ectodomain or specific antibodies) leads to growth arrest at the G1 phase of the cell cycle. The cadherin-reactive beads inhibit the entry into S phase and the reduction in the levels of cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk) inhibitors p21 and p27, following serum-stimulation of starved cells. In exponentially growing cells these beads induce G1 arrest accompanied by elevation in p27 only. We propose that cadherin-mediated signaling is involved in contact inhibition of growth by inducing cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase and elevation of p27 levels.  (+info)

Tracing cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in endometriosis. (3/6757)

The aetiology and pathogenesis of endometriosis, defined as the presence of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, is largely unknown. In this paper we present and discuss possibilities to study the putative pathogenic properties of endometriotic cells in vitro. The current focus of our investigations is on the invasive phenotype of the disease, assuming that this might contribute to the pathogenesis of endometriosis. So far, we have shown that: (i) cytokeratin-positive and E-cadherin-negative endometriotic cells have an invasive phenotype in a collagen invasion assay in vitro similar to metastatic carcinoma cells; (ii) the invasiveness of endometriotic but not of eutopic endometrial cells can be stimulated by a heat-stable protein present in peritoneal fluid; and (iii) the endometriotic cell line EEC145T, which we established, may be a useful tool for the identification of gene products which are, positively or negatively, invasion-related. Finally, our studies suggest that the invasive phenotype in endometriosis shares aspects with tumour metastasis, but might also have unique mechanisms.  (+info)

Cadherin-11 is expressed in invasive breast cancer cell lines. (4/6757)

In several cancers, including breast cancer, loss of E-cadherin expression is correlated with a loss of the epithelial phenotype and with a gain of invasiveness. Cells that have lost E-cadherin expression are either poorly invasive with a rounded phenotype, or highly invasive, with a mesenchymal phenotype. Most cells lacking E-cadherin still retain weak calcium-dependent adhesion, indicating the presence of another cadherin family member. We have now examined the expression of the mesenchymal cadherin, cadherin-11, in breast cancer cell lines. Cadherin-11 mRNA and protein, as well as a variant form, are expressed in the most invasive cell lines but not in any of the noninvasive cell lines. Cadherin-11 is localized to a detergent-soluble pool and is associated with both alpha- and beta-catenin. Immunocytochemistry shows that cadherin-11 is localized to the cell membrane at sites of cell-cell contact as well as at lamellipodia-like projections, which do not interact with other cells. These results suggest that cadherin-11 expression may be well correlated with the invasive phenotype in cancer cells and may serve as a molecular marker for the more aggressive, invasive subset of tumors. Cadherin-11 may mediate the interaction between malignant tumor cells and other cell types that normally express cadherin-11, such as stromal cells or osteoblasts or perhaps even with the surrounding extracellular matrix, thus facilitating tumor cell invasion and metastasis.  (+info)

Coupling assembly of the E-cadherin/beta-catenin complex to efficient endoplasmic reticulum exit and basal-lateral membrane targeting of E-cadherin in polarized MDCK cells. (5/6757)

The E-cadherin/catenin complex regulates Ca++-dependent cell-cell adhesion and is localized to the basal-lateral membrane of polarized epithelial cells. Little is known about mechanisms of complex assembly or intracellular trafficking, or how these processes might ultimately regulate adhesion functions of the complex at the cell surface. The cytoplasmic domain of E-cadherin contains two putative basal-lateral sorting motifs, which are homologous to sorting signals in the low density lipoprotein receptor, but an alanine scan across tyrosine residues in these motifs did not affect the fidelity of newly synthesized E-cadherin delivery to the basal-lateral membrane of MDCK cells. Nevertheless, sorting signals are located in the cytoplasmic domain since a chimeric protein (GP2CAD1), comprising the extracellular domain of GP2 (an apical membrane protein) and the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of E-cadherin, was efficiently and specifically delivered to the basal-lateral membrane. Systematic deletion and recombination of specific regions of the cytoplasmic domain of GP2CAD1 resulted in delivery of <10% of these newly synthesized proteins to both apical and basal-lateral membrane domains. Significantly, >90% of each mutant protein was retained in the ER. None of these mutants formed a strong interaction with beta-catenin, which normally occurs shortly after E-cadherin synthesis. In addition, a simple deletion mutation of E-cadherin that lacks beta-catenin binding is also localized intracellularly. Thus, beta-catenin binding to the whole cytoplasmic domain of E-cadherin correlates with efficient and targeted delivery of E-cadherin to the lateral plasma membrane. In this capacity, we suggest that beta-catenin acts as a chauffeur, to facilitate transport of E-cadherin out of the ER and the plasma membrane.  (+info)

Mutated epithelial cadherin is associated with increased tumorigenicity and loss of adhesion and of responsiveness to the motogenic trefoil factor 2 in colon carcinoma cells. (6/6757)

Epithelial (E)-cadherin and its associated cytoplasmic proteins (alpha-, beta-, and gamma-catenins) are important mediators of epithelial cell-cell adhesion and intracellular signaling. Much evidence exists suggesting a tumor/invasion suppressor role for E-cadherin, and loss of expression, as well as mutations, has been described in a number of epithelial cancers. To investigate whether E-cadherin gene (CDH1) mutations occur in colorectal cancer, we screened 49 human colon carcinoma cell lines from 43 patients by single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis and direct sequencing. In addition to silent changes, polymorphisms, and intronic variants in a number of the cell lines, we detected frameshift single-base deletions in repeat regions of exon 3 (codons 120 and 126) causing premature truncations at codon 216 in four replication-error-positive (RER+) cell lines (LS174T, HCT116, GP2d, and GP5d) derived from 3 patients. In LS174T such a mutation inevitably contributes to its lack of E-cadherin protein expression and function. Transfection of full-length E-cadherin cDNA into LS174T cells enhanced intercellular adhesion, induced differentiation, retarded proliferation, inhibited tumorigenicity, and restored responsiveness to the migratory effects induced by the motogenic trefoil factor 2 (human spasmolytic polypeptide). These results indicate that, although inactivating E-cadherin mutations occur relatively infrequently in colorectal cancer cell lines overall (3/43 = 7%), they are more common in cells with an RER+ phenotype (3/10 = 30%) and may contribute to the dysfunction of the E-cadherin-catenin-mediated adhesion/signaling system commonly seen in these tumors. These results also indicate that normal E-cadherin-mediated cell adhesion can restore the ability of colonic tumor cells to respond to trefoil factor 2.  (+info)

Misexpression of the catenin p120(ctn)1A perturbs Xenopus gastrulation but does not elicit Wnt-directed axis specification. (7/6757)

Modulators of cadherin function are of great interest given that the cadherin complex actively contributes to the morphogenesis of virtually all tissues. The catenin p120(ctn) (formerly p120cas) was first identified as a src- and receptor-protein tyrosine kinase substrate and later shown to interact directly with cadherins. In common with beta-catenin and plakoglobin (gamma-catenin), p120(ctn) contains a central Armadillo repeat region by which it binds cadherin cytoplasmic domains. However, little is known about the function of p120(ctn) within the cadherin complex. We examined the role of p120(ctn)1A in early vertebrate development via its exogenous expression in Xenopus. Ventral overexpression of p120(ctn)1A, in contrast to beta-catenin, did not induce the formation of duplicate axial structures resulting from the activation of the Wnt signaling pathway, nor did p120(ctn) affect mesoderm induction. Rather, dorsal misexpression of p120(ctn) specifically perturbed gastrulation. Lineage tracing of cells expressing exogenous p120(ctn) indicated that cell movements were disrupted, while in vitro studies suggested that this may have been a consequence of reduced adhesion between blastomeres. Thus, while cadherin-binding proteins beta-catenin, plakoglobin, and p120(ctn) are members of the Armadillo protein family, it is clear that these proteins have distinct biological functions in early vertebrate development. This work indicates that p120(ctn) has a role in cadherin function and that heightened expression of p120(ctn) interferes with appropriate cell-cell interactions necessary for morphogenesis.  (+info)

The expression of beta-catenin in non-small-cell lung cancer: a clinicopathological study. (8/6757)

AIMS: To investigate the expression of beta-catenin in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its clinical significance. METHODS: 101 patients were surgically treated for NSCLC by lobectomy or pneumectomy with systematic lymph node dissection. Follow up was available in all patients, ranging from 24 to 110 months. Immunostaining of tissue sections from primary tumours and (when present) their lymph node metastases was performed and evaluated using a monoclonal antibody against beta-catenin. Correlations were investigated between beta-catenin immunostaining in primary tumours and E-cadherin immunostaining (data available from a previous study), lymph node stage, and survival. RESULTS: There were significant correlations between scores for beta-catenin immunostaining and E-cadherin immunostaining in primary tumours (p = 0.007), and between the beta-catenin immunostaining score in primary tumours and in their lymph node metastases (p = 0.006). An inverse correlation was found between the beta-catenin immunostaining score in primary tumours and lymph node stage N0, N1, or N2 (p = 0.03). According to the Kaplan-Meier survival estimate, the level of beta-catenin expression in primary tumours was a statistically significant prognostic factor (p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Reduced beta-catenin expression in surgically treated NSCLC is clearly associated with lymph node metastasis and an infavourable prognosis. The existence of a functional relation between E-cadherin and beta-catenin is supported by the results of this clinicopathological study.  (+info)

Amino-terminal domain of classic cadherins determines the specificity of the adhesive interactions | Journal of Cell Science  Amino-terminal domain of classic cadherins determines the specificity of the adhesive interactions | Journal of Cell Science
Classic cadherins are transmembrane receptors involved in cell type-specific calcium-dependent intercellular adhesion. The specificity of adhesion is mediated by homophilic interactions between cadherins extending from opposing cell surfaces. In addition, classic cadherins can self-associate forming lateral dimers. Whereas it is widely excepted that lateral dimerization of cadherins is critical for adhesion, details of this process are not known. Yet, no evidence for physical association between different classic cadherins in cells expressing complex cadherin patterns has been reported. To study lateral and adhesive intercadherin interactions, we examined interactions between two classic cadherins, E- and P-cadherins, in epithelial A-431 cells co-producing both proteins. We showed that these cells exhibited heterocomplexes consisting of laterally assembled E- and P-cadherins. These complexes were formed by a mechanism involving Trp(156) of E-cadherin.

Cadherins are a family of transmembrane proteins formed from multiple repeats of cadherin-specific motif (a recurrent molecular sequence) and also share a large extracellular domain. Cadherins are classified into two groups: Classical Cadherins and Protocadherins. The main difference between the two groups of cadherins is the classical cadherins contain five cadherin repeats with the third (EC3) and the fifth (EC5) repeat having very specific features. The protocadherins do not share the same features of the EC3 and EC5 units; are longer than five repeats long; and the sequences are very similar to each other. As a result of these differences, the classical cadherins are very specific and do not adhere to a large number of different ECM proteins, whereas protocadherins are much more flexible in their attachments. Classical cadherins are known to only be found in vertebrates so far, while protocadherins are found in planaria, hydra, Drosophila, and various mammals. Cadherins rely heavily on ...

P-cadherin is a subclass of Ca2+-dependent cell-cell adhesion molecules present in mouse placenta, where its localization suggests a function of connecting the embryo to the uterus (Nose, A., and M. Takeichi. 1986. J. Cell Biol. 103:2649-2658). We recently identified a human cadherin detected by an mAb capable of disrupting cell-cell adhesion of A-431 cells, and found that it was closely related immunochemically to mouse P-cadherin. Curiously, this cadherin was undetectable in human placenta by immunohistochemical examination (Shimoyama, Y., S. Hirohashi, S. Hirano, M. Noguchi, Y. Shimosato, M. Takeichi, and O. Abe. 1989. Cancer Res. 49:2128-2133). We here report the cloning and sequencing of cDNA clone encoding the human homologue of mouse P-cadherin. The deduced amino acid sequence of the human P-cadherin consists of 829 amino acid and shows striking homology with mouse P-cadherin. On Northern blot analysis, human P-cadherin was scarcely expressed in human placenta in contrast to mouse ...

Clustered protocadherins (PCDHs) map in tandem at human chromosome 5q31 and comprise three multi-genes clusters: α-, β- and γ-PCDH. The expression of this cluster consists of a complex mechanism involving DNA hub formation through DNA-CCTC binding factor (CTCF) interaction. Methylation alterations can affect this interaction, leading to transcriptional dysregulation. In cancer, clustered PCDHs undergo a mechanism of long-range epigenetic silencing by hypermethylation. In this study, we detected frequent methylation alterations at CpG islands associated to these clustered PCDHs in all the solid tumours analysed (colorectal, gastric and biliary tract cancers, pilocytic astrocytoma), but not hematologic neoplasms such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Detachment of cell-cell adhesion is indispensable for the first step of invasion and metastasis of cancer. This mechanism is frequently associated with the impairment of either E-cadherin expression or function. However, mechanisms of such abnormalities have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we demonstrated that the function of E-cadherin was completely abolished in the human gastric cancer cell line HSC-39, despite the high expression of E-cadherin, because of mutations in one of the E-cadherin-associated cytoplasmic proteins, beta-catenin. Although immunofluorescence staining of HSC-39 cells by using an anti-E-cadherin antibody (HECD-1) revealed the strong and uniform expression of E-cadherin on the cell surface, cell compaction and cell aggregation were not observed in this cell. Western blotting (immunoblotting) using HECD-1 exhibited a 120-kDa band which is equivalent to normal E-cadherin. Northern (RNA) blotting demonstrated a 4.7-kb band, the same as mature E-cadherin mRNA. ...

Role of classical cadherins in epidermal junction and barrier formation - Kölner UniversitätsPublikationsServer  Role of classical cadherins in epidermal junction and barrier formation - Kölner UniversitätsPublikationsServer
Classical cadherins mediate Ca2+-dependent intercellular adhesion and are essential for tissue morphogenesis and maintenance. They are key components of adherens junctions (AJs). In vitro studies in simple epithelial cells indicated an essential role for E-cadherin not only in the formation of AJs but also other intercellular contacts, such as desmosomes and tight junctions. In contrast, in vivo tissue specific knockout studies did not reveal a necessity of E-cadherin in the formation of intercellular junctions, raising the question if classical cadherins are necessary or if other classical cadherins can compensate for the loss of E-cadherin. Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to ask how E-cadherin regulates tight junctions and if E-cadherin has a specific function in the formation of tight junctions. In addition, the question was asked if classical cadherin function is necessary for the formation of other intercellular contacts, such as desmosomes. Using primary keratinocytes as a model for ...

Loss of E-cadherin promotes metastasis via multiple downstream transcriptional pathways. | Broad Institute  Loss of E-cadherin promotes metastasis via multiple downstream transcriptional pathways. | Broad Institute
Loss of the epithelial adhesion molecule E-cadherin is thought to enable metastasis by disrupting intercellular contacts-an early step in metastatic dissemination. To further investigate the molecular basis of this notion, we use two methods to inhibit E-cadherin function that distinguish between E-cadherins cell-cell adhesion and intracellular signaling functions. Whereas the disruption of cell-cell contacts alone does not enable metastasis, the loss of E-cadherin protein does, through induction of an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, invasiveness, and anoikis resistance. We find the E-cadherin binding partner beta-catenin to be necessary, but not sufficient, for induction of these phenotypes. In addition, gene expression analysis shows that E-cadherin loss results in the induction of multiple transcription factors, at least one of which, Twist, is necessary for E-cadherin loss-induced metastasis. These findings indicate that E-cadherin loss in tumors contributes to metastatic ...

CDH3 cadherin 3 [Homo sapiens (human)] - Gene - NCBI  CDH3 cadherin 3 [Homo sapiens (human)] - Gene - NCBI
This gene encodes a classical cadherin of the cadherin superfamily. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate the mature glycoprotein. This calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion protein is comprised of five extracellular cadherin repeats, a transmembrane region and a highly conserved cytoplasmic tail. This gene is located in a gene cluster in a region on the long arm of chromosome 16 that is involved in loss of heterozygosity events in breast and prostate cancer. In addition, aberrant expression of this protein is observed in cervical adenocarcinomas. Mutations in this gene are associated with hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy and ectodermal dysplasia, ectrodactyly, and macular dystrophy syndrome (EEMS).

Because AQP3 but not AQP5 was delivered to cell-cell contacts, we directly tested whether a targeting patch specific for basolateral vesicles is assembled upon E-cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion. Our data indicate that microtubules, the exocyst, and t-SNAREs are essential components of this lateral targeting patch. We showed that the exocyst and the t-SNARE syntaxin 4 colocalized with E-cadherin at early cell-cell contacts, and it has been shown by others that microtubule plus ends extend radially into cell-cell contacts (Stehbens et al., 2006; Shaw et al., 2007). Functional disruption of any one of these components did not interfere with the establishment of cell-cell adhesion or the localization of other components to cell-cell contact. Because there is a large amount of E-cadherin on the cell surface before cell adhesion (Adams et al. 1998), it is therefore likely that initial cell-cell adhesion does not require the delivery of E-cadherin from intracellular compartments. However, ...

British Library EThOS: The molecular mechanism of cadherin-mediated adhesion  British Library EThOS: The molecular mechanism of cadherin-mediated adhesion
My work examines the role of a conserved tryptophan residue, Trp2, in the adhesive domain of cadherins that has been shown to be essential for their adhesive function. Structural studies have shown Trp2 to be integrated into its own cadherin domain, integrated into the domain an opposing cadherin molecule, or freed from the domain and exposed to solvent. Until now, the physiological relevance of these structures has been controversial. Using conformation specific antibodies I show that Trp2 integrates into the domain fold of its own cadherin molecule in physiological conditions, but that this integration is not stable owing to structural constraints imposed by calcium binding to the cadherin. This raises the possibility that Trp2 could participate in intermolecular interactions during adhesion by inserting into opposing cadherins in what is referred to as the strand exchange model of cadherin adhesion. This model is tested directly by introducing cysteine substitutions into opposing cadherins ...

Wingless signaling modulates cadherin-mediated cell adhesion in Drosophila imaginal disc cells | Journal of Cell Science  Wingless signaling modulates cadherin-mediated cell adhesion in Drosophila imaginal disc cells | Journal of Cell Science
We show in this paper that this can indeed occur, in a cell culture system in which Wg signaling can be controlled and its response be measured over time. We found two contrasting effects: Wg initially lowers the amount of the cadherin-catenin complex at cell-cell contacts, most probably by reducing the Arm pool interacting with E-cadherin, but later, Wg signaling leads to elevated DE-cadherin transcription. This later increase in DE cadherin may titrate the pool of Arm available for Wg signaling and therefore attenuate the transcriptional response to Wg. We have shown by metabolic labeling experiments that the reduction in E-cadherin levels was caused by a posttranscriptional mechanism that affected the stability of the E-cadherin protein. Although levels of E-cadherin precursors were similar in the absence or presence of Wg signaling, very little mature E-cadherin was detectable in cells with an activated Wg pathway, indicating that the majority of E-cadherin was either degraded before arrival ...

E-cadherin (epithelial cadherin, CDH1, OMIM# 192090) is a member of the cadherin family of adhesion molecules, which are transmembrane glycoproteins mediating calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion1. Germline mutations in the CDH1 gene have been demonstrated to underlie in diffuse gastric cancer (DGC) in various ethnic backgrounds 2, 3, 4. CDH1 germ line mutations have also been identified in a small portion of early onset DGC patients without a family history 5, 6, 12. Associations between CDH1 germ line mutations and both lobular breast cancer and signet ring carcinoma of the colon have been reported in DGC families 7, 8, 9. DGC is a highly penetrant autosomal dominant disorder that has been reported to occur in many ethnicities. The offspring of an affected individual has a 50% risk of also being affected. The estimated cumulative risk of gastric cancer by age 80 years is 67% (95% CI: 39-99) for men and 83% (95% CI: 58-99) for women10. Women also have a 39% risk for lobular breast cancer10. ...

Our laboratory is interested in understanding fundamental mechanisms of transcription and RNA splicing in the nervous system, and how these mechanisms bear on neuronal connectivity and neurodegenerative diseases. Interest in neuronal connectivity arose from our discovery of a remarkable organization of a large cluster of genes encoding cell surface cadherin-like proteins called protocadherins. This unusual gene organization leads to the generation of enormous individual cell surface diversity at the synapse through a mechanism that involves stochastic promoter choice and alternative RNA splicing. We are studying the detailed mechanisms of promoter choice, and are using gene knock out methods to investigate the function of protocadherins. We are also using embryonic stem cell differentiation and deep sequencing methods to study transcription, RNA splicing, protein-RNA interactions, and microRNAs in ALS disease models. This involves studies of SOD1, FUS and TDP43 mouse models, and human patient ...

Our results show that NFPC and TAF1 are expressed in RGCs and that inhibition of either NFPC or TAF1 function in vivo severely impairs axon and dendrite extension. These findings, together with recent reports showing that γ-protocadherins regulate synaptic development in spinal cord neurons (Weiner et al., 2005), and OL-protocadherin controls striatal axon elongation in the ventral telencephalon (Uemura et al., 2007), implicate protocadherins as general players in axonogenesis and dendritogenesis.. Although it is apparent that NFPC plays an integral role in RGC axon and dendrite elongation, its precise function at the level of the growth cone is unclear. NFPC was first identified as a regulator of embryonic ectodermal formation in Xenopus. In vivo inhibition of NFPC with NFΔE resulted in a failure of the nascent ectodermal layers to juxtapose, indicating a failure of adhesion in those NFΔE-expressing regions (Bradley et al., 1998). NFPC has also been implicated in the regulation of neural ...

E-cadherin evades endocytosis | JCB  E-cadherin evades endocytosis | JCB
E-cadherin interacts with other E-cadherin molecules on neighboring cells to form cell-cell adhesions. E-cadherin that is not involved in these trans interactions is removed from the cell surface and replaced with newly synthesized molecules to maintain dynamic adhesions. Now, Izumi et al. (page 237) show that E-cadherins that are involved in trans interactions are excused from this endocytosis by small GTPases. Disruption of this system may free cells for migration.. By reconstituting endocytosis in membrane bilayers, the group shows that clathrin-dependent endocytosis removes E-cadherin that is not interacting in trans with other E-cadherins. E-cadherins engaged in trans interactions, however, activated Rac and Cdc42, which blocked their internalization. So far it is unclear how the trans interactions activate the G proteins.. The endocytic block is enhanced by IQGAP1, an effector of Rac and Cdc42. IQGAP1 cross-links actin filaments into bundles, and the group shows that F-actin is needed to ...

SMART: ARM domain annotation  SMART: ARM domain annotation
Cadherins are calcium-dependent, cell surface glycoproteins involved in cell-cell adhesion. To function in cell-cell adhesion, the transmembrane cadherin molecule must be associated with the cytoskeleton via cytoplasmic proteins known as catenins. Three catenins, alpha-catenin, beta-catenin, and gamma-catenin (also known as plakoglobin), have been identified. The domain of the cadherin molecule important for its interaction with the catenins has been mapped to the COOH-terminal 70 amino acids, but less is known about regions of the catenins that allow them to associate with one another or with the cadherin molecule. In this study we have transfected carboxyl-terminal deletions of plakoglobin into the human fibrosarcoma HT-1080 and used immunofluorescence localization and co-immunoprecipitation to map the regions of plakoglobin that allow it to associate with N-cadherin and with alpha-catenin.

JCI - Biomarkers for epithelial-mesenchymal transitions  JCI - Biomarkers for epithelial-mesenchymal transitions
Cell-surface markers of EMT. A change in expression of E-cadherin is the prototypical epithelial cell marker of EMT. E-cadherin is expressed in epithelial cells, and its expression is decreased during EMT in embryonic development, tissue fibrosis, and cancer (65). Moreover, loss of E-cadherin function promotes EMT (4, 66). In recent years, changes in the level of expression of different cadherins, so-called cadherin switches, have been increasingly used to monitor EMT. Indeed, the cadherin switch from E-cadherin to N-cadherin, which is expressed in mesenchymal cells, fibroblasts, cancer cells, and neural tissue, has often been used to monitor the progress of EMT during embryonic development and cancer progression. In addition, because OB-cadherin is a more definitive marker for activated fibroblasts, an E-cadherin-OB-cadherin switch is of interest for type 2 EMT associated with fibrogenesis (67).

Clone REA199 recognizes CD144 (VE-Cadherin), a 120 KDa type II cadherin. Cadherins are cell adhesion molecules and mediate Ca2+ dependent homophilic interactions. CD144 contains five extracellular cadherin (EC) domains and like other cadherins can interact directly via its C-terminus with cytoplasmic proteins such as β-catenin, plaktoglobin, and p120. Plaktoglobin und β-catenin bind to α-catenin, which in turn interacts with several actin-binding proteins, α-actinin, ajuba, zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1). Further indirect interactions of CD144 with partners such as SHP-2, VEGFR-2, Csk, and PAR-3, 6 allows CD144 to not only regulate the stability and strength of cell adhesion but also to serve functions such as sensing of shear forces, anti-proliferative, and anti-apoptotic effects. Additional information: Clone REA199 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors. - Schweiz

Cadherin 2, also known as N-cadherin, is a member of the cadherin superfamily of predominantly Ca2+-dependent cell surface adhesion proteins.30 In the heart, cadherin 2 is located at the intercalated disc, a complex and highly organized intercellular structure that ensures structural integrity and functional synchronization across the myocardium through the tight electromechanical coupling of cardiomyocytes.30,31 In the intercalated disc, intercellular communication and adhesion are achieved through 3 main junctional structures forming functional zones, the gap junctions, the fascia adherens junctions, and the desmosomes, with the latter 2 being the main contributors to cell-cell adhesion.30-32 In desmosomes, desmosomal cadherins (desmocollin and desmoglein) are mainly anchored to the intermediate filaments of the cytoskeleton through many intracellular protein partners, whereas in fascia adherens junctions, the classical cadherin, N-cadherin, is primarily anchored to the actin microfilaments of ...

This gene is a member of the protocadherin beta gene cluster, one of three related gene clusters tandemly linked on chromosome five. The gene clusters demonstrate an unusual genomic organization similar to that of B-cell and T-cell receptor gene clusters. The beta cluster contains 16 genes and 3 pseudogenes, each encoding 6 extracellular cadherin domains and a cytoplasmic tail that deviates from others in the cadherin superfamily. The extracellular domains interact in a homophilic manner to specify differential cell-cell connections. Unlike the alpha and gamma clusters, the transcripts from these genes are made up of only one large exon, not sharing common 3 exons as expected. These neural cadherin-like cell adhesion proteins are integral plasma membrane proteins. Their specific functions are unknown but they most likely play a critical role in the establishment and function of specific cell-cell neural connections ...

RESULTS: COL6A3 was highly expressed in tissues and cells of bladder cancer. COL6A3 silencing could inhibit the cell proliferation and angiopoiesis. In addition, COL6A3 silencing obviously suppressed the levels of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2), Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9), and vimentin. On the contrary, the levels of epithelium-specific cell-cell adhesion molecule (E-cadherin) and tumor inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) were significantly increased. Furthermore, we found that COL6A3 silencing reduced the activity of p-Smad2, p-Smad3, and transforming growth factor β (TGF-β ...

Our in vitro results revealed that, in HNSCC cells, the selective Cox-2 inhibitors led to the suppression of the EMT by restoring the expression of E-cadherin through the downregulation of its transcriptional repressors. Moreover, the extent of the effect of Cox-2 inhibition was shown to depend on the baseline expression levels of both E-cadherin and Cox-2 in each cell; i.e., tumor cells expressing lower E-cadherin and higher Cox-2 are expected to be more sensitive to Cox-2 inhibition in terms of the restoration of E-cadherin expression. Such a finding is consistent with a previous study of bladder cancer cells using another Cox-2 inhibitor, etodolac. In that study, etodolac upregulated E-cadherin expression only in T24 cells, which express the highest level of Cox-2 and the lowest level of E-cadherin; it did not do so in 5637 cells or K47 cells, which express a lower level of Cox-2 and a higher level of E-cadherin [42]. Interestingly, using the same three bladder cancer cell lines and three ...

CDH17 - Wikipedia  CDH17 - Wikipedia
Cadherin-17 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDH17 gene. This gene is a member of the cadherin superfamily, genes encoding calcium-dependent, membrane-associated glycoproteins. The encoded protein is cadherin-like, consisting of an extracellular region, containing 7 cadherin domains, and a transmembrane region but lacking the conserved cytoplasmic domain. The protein is a component of the gastrointestinal tract and pancreatic ducts, acting as an intestinal proton-dependent peptide transporter in the first step in oral absorption of many medically important peptide-based drugs. The protein may also play a role in the morphological organization of liver and intestine.

Cadherin-mediated adhesion regulates posterior body formation | BMC Developmental Biology | Full Text  Cadherin-mediated adhesion regulates posterior body formation | BMC Developmental Biology | Full Text
The anterior-posterior axis of the vertebrate embryo undergoes a dramatic elongation during early development. Convergence and extension of the mesoderm, occurring during gastrulation, initiates the narrowing and lengthening of the embryo. However the lengthening of the axis continues during post-gastrula stages in the tailbud region, and is thought to involve convergent extension movements as well as other cell behaviors specific to posterior regions. We demonstrate here, using a semi-dominant N-cadherin allele, that members of the classical cadherin subfamily of cell-cell adhesion molecules are required for tailbud elongation in the zebrafish. In vivo imaging of cell behaviors suggests that the extension of posterior axial mesodermal cells is impaired in embryos that carry the semi-dominant N-cadherin allele. This defect most likely results from a general loss of cell-cell adhesion in the tailbud region. Consistent with these observations, N-cadherin is expressed throughout the tailbud during post

Differentiation and proliferation of hematopoietic progenitors take place in the bone marrow and is a tightly controlled process. Cell adhesion molecules of the integrin and immunoglobulin families have been shown to be involved in these processes, but almost nothing was known about the involvement of the cadherin family in the hematopoietic system. A PCR screening of RNA of human bone marrow mononuclear cells with specific primers for classical cadherins revealed that E-cadherin, which is mainly expressed by cells of epithelial origin, is also expressed by bone marrow cells. Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence staining of bone marrow sections confirmed this unexpected finding. A more detailed analysis using immunoaffinity columns and dual color flow cytometry showed that the expression of E-cadherin is restricted to defined maturation stages of the erythropoietic lineage. Erythroblasts and normoblasts express E-cadherin, mature erythrocytes do not. A functional role of E-cadherin in ...

The embryonic myotome is the source of all epaxial and hypaxial skeletal muscles. The mechanisms underlying myotome development were recently reevaluated (Brent and Tabin, 2002; Buckingham, 2001; Hollway and Currie, 2003; Kalcheim and Ben-Yair, 2005). Studies in avian embryos showed that the dorsomedial lip (DML) of the dermomyotome (DM) and, later, the ventrolateral lip (VLL) contribute to myotome growth in medial and lateral orientations, respectively (Denetclaw et al., 2001; Denetclaw et al., 1997; Denetclaw and Ordahl, 2000; Ordahl et al., 2001). Our studies distinguished at least two separable waves that account for the formation of the postmitotic myotome. A first wave of pioneer myoblasts constitutes the medial region of the epithelial somite with cells expressing Myod and Myf5. Upon sclerotome dissociation, pioneers delaminate, migrate towards the rostral somitic domain, and, from this region, generate myofibers in rostrocaudal and mediolateral directions (Kahane et al., 1998b; Kahane et ...

The progression from Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN) to carcinoma in situ (CIS) to invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is associated with Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT). EMT is triggered by secreted growth factors of tumor and host cells. Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) and Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) are up-regulated in stromal invasion and metastasis, and up-regulate the zinc-finger transcription factor Snail-1, which mediates EMT by inducing E-cadherin down-regulation of and vimentin up-regulation. Adhesion molecules and E-cadherin loss are associated with the acquisition of invasive capacity, high tumor grade and poor prognosis.. In a large series of cervical lesions (CIN1, 2, 3, CIS, SCC), we investigated EMT immuno-expression with a panel of pertinent Antibodies, namely EGFR, Snail-1, E-cadherin, Vimentin, p16, p53. In this series we were able to conclude that. reduced E-Cad expression and acquisition of VIM expression were significantly higher in the ...

Intercellular adhesion and electrical excitability are considered separate cellular properties. Studies of myelinated fibres, however, show that voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) aggregate with cell adhesion molecules at discrete subcellular locations, such as the nodes of Ranvier. Demonstration of similar macromolecular organization in cardiac muscle is missing. Here we combine nanoscale-imaging (single-molecule localization microscopy; electron microscopy; and angle view scanning patch clamp) with mathematical simulations to demonstrate distinct hubs at the cardiac intercalated disc, populated by clusters of the adhesion molecule N-cadherin and the VGSC NaV1.5. We show that the N-cadherin-NaV1.5 association is not random, that NaV1.5 molecules in these clusters are major contributors to cardiac sodium current, and that loss of NaV1.5 expression reduces intercellular adhesion strength. We speculate that adhesion/excitability nodes are key sites for crosstalk of the contractile and ...

Purpose: To predict lymph node metastasis and prognosis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Results: The combination of membranous E-cadherin and membranous epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) quantified by QD technology with age, gender, and grade had greater predictive power than any of the single biomarkers or the two combined biomarkers quantified by conventional immunohistochemistry (IHC). The predictive power of this model was validated in another independent sample set; the predictive sensitivity of this model for LNM was 87.5%, with specificity up to 97.4%, and accuracy 92.9%. Furthermore, a higher membranous E-cadherin level was significantly correlated with better overall and disease-free survival (OS, DFS; P = 0.002, 0.033, respectively), while lower cytoplasmic vimentin and membranous EGFR levels were significantly correlated with better OS (P = 0.016 and 0.021, respectively). The combined biomarkers showed a stronger prognostic value for OS and DFS than any of the ...

Modeling the Influence of the E-Cadherin-[Beta]-Catenin Pathway in Cancer Cell Invasion: A Multiscale Approach - Redorbit  Modeling the Influence of the E-Cadherin-[Beta]-Catenin Pathway in Cancer Cell Invasion: A Multiscale Approach - Redorbit
By Ramis-Conde, Ignacio Drasdo, Dirk; Anderson, Alexander R A; Chaplain, Mark A J ABSTRACT In this article, we show, using a mathematical multiscale model, how cell adhesion may be regulated by interactions between E-cadherin and beta-catenin and how the control of cell adhesion may be related to cell migration, to the epithelial- mesenchymal transition and to invasion in populations of eukaryotic cells. E-cadherin mediates cell-cell adhesion and plays a critical role in the formation and maintenance of junctional contacts between cells. Loss of E-cadherin-mediated adhesion is a key feature of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition. beta-catenin is an intracellular protein associated with the actin cytoskeleton of a cell. E- cadherins bind to beta-catenin to form a complex which can interact both with neighboring cells to form bonds, and with the cytoskeleton of the cell. When cells detach from one another, beta-catenin is released into the cytoplasm, targeted for degradation, and downregulated. ...

A-CAM (adherens-junction-specific cell adhesion molecule) is a calcium-dependent adhesion molecule which is associated with intercellular adherens junctions in various tissues (Volk & Geiger, 1986, J. Cell Biol. 103, 1441-1450 and 1451-1464). In the present report, we have investigated the distribution of A-CAM during avian morphogenesis by immunofluorescence microscopy and immunoblotting. A-CAM appeared at the onset of gastrulation on developing mesodermal and endodermal cells and was then expressed on tissues derived from the three primary germ layers. During embryonic life, A-CAM was constitutively expressed in a number of tissues including the central and peripheral nervous system, myocardium, muscles, notochord, skin and lens whereas it was found transiently in many tissues ranging from the nephritic tubules and the endoderm of visceral arches to ectodermal placodes. In the adult, in addition to the nervous system, A-CAM was restricted to the skin, lens, heart and testis, and exhibited an ...

ED01-03 Preclinical data have generated an interesting hypothesis that suggests that the sensitivity of NSCLC, pancreatic and colon cell lines and/or tumor xenografts to EGFR inhibitors is dependant upon the degree to which they have undergone an epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). NSCLC lines which express the epithelial cell junction protein E-cadherin showed greater sensitivity to EGFR inhibition in vitro and in xenografts. In contrast, NSCLC lines having undergone EMT, expressing vimentin and/or fibronectin, were insensitive to the growth inhibitory effects of erlotinib. In the E-cadherin positive cells inhibition of EGFR activity leads to a reduction in the phosphorylation of Akt. In contrast, however, those cells that have lost E-cadherin expression and gained the expression of mesenchymal markers, do not show a reduction in phosphorylation of Akt even though EGFR is present and can be inhibited. Interestingly the E-cadherin expressing cells also express ErbB3 and we believe that ...

Chemotaxis is the stimulated directional migration of cells in response to chemotactic factors, manifested for instance during leukocyte interaction with chemoattractants in inflammation. The N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLF) bacterial peptide family is particularly potent in attracting and activating neutrophilic granulocytes. To accomplish defined circumstances for recruitment and activation of cells, we fabricated semitransparent gold-coated glass coverslips functionalized with chemoattractant fMLF receptor peptide agonist analogues. Peptides based on a common leading four-amino-acid sequence Gly-Gly-Gly-Cys were thus coupled to two potent fMLF receptor agonists, N-formyl-Tyr-Nle-Phe-Leu- Nle-Gly-Gly-Gly-Cys and N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe-Gly-Gly-Gly-Cys, and a formylated control peptide, N-formyl-Gly-Gly-Gly-Cys. They were anchored via the SH group of Cys either directly to the gold surface or a mixed self-assembled monolayer composed of maleimide- and hydroxyl-terminated oligo(ethylene glycol) ...

DIGITAL.CSIC: E-cadherin controls β-catenin and NF-κB transcriptional activity in mesenchymal gene expression  DIGITAL.CSIC: E-cadherin controls β-catenin and NF-κB transcriptional activity in mesenchymal gene expression
E-cadherin and its transcriptional repressor Snail1 (Snai1) are two factors that control epithelial phenotype. Expression of Snail1 promotes the conversion of epithelial cells to mesenchymal cells, and occurs concomitantly with the downregulation of E-cadherin and the upregulation of expression of mesenchymal genes such as those encoding fibronectin and LEF1. We studied the molecular mechanism controlling the expression of these genes in mesenchymal cells. Forced expression of E-cadherin strongly downregulated fibronectin and LEF1 RNA levels, indicating that E-cadherin-sensitive factors are involved in the transcription of these genes. E-cadherin overexpression decreased the transcriptional activity of the fibronectin promoter and reduced the interaction of beta-catenin and NF-kappaB with this promoter. Similar to beta-catenin, NF-kappaB was found, by co-immunoprecipitation and pull-down assays, to be associated with E-cadherin and other cell-adhesion components. Interaction of the NF-kappaB p65 ...

Intraperitoneal "seeding" is a distinctive pattern of dissemination that is unique to EOC and markedly differs from the hematogenous or lymphatic metastasis found for many other types of tumors. A key and initial rate-limiting step in the "seeding" of EOC is the survival of floating tumor cells in the peritoneal fluid. It is widely recognized that aggregation enables floating tumor cells to escape anoikis, although it is unclear whether tumor cells shed into the peritoneal fluid as aggregates or shed as single cells that then assemble into aggregates (3). The mechanisms that mediate adhesion between floating EOC cells are poorly understood. EOC cells express several integrins and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, and interactions between α5β1 integrin and fibronectin have been reported to mediate assembly of EOC cells into spheroids (22). Cadherins are transmembrane glycoproteins that have well-established functions in mediating homophilic cell adhesion (7). The role of cadherins in ...

The first step in the EMT is the loss of cell-cell cohesion, primarily by removal of cadherins. This step has been coined the "activation" step (Boyer et al., 1999). Although several mechanisms have been proposed for the loss of cadherins during the EMT, one possibility is that proteases cleave cadherins and subsequently release them from the cell surface (Werb, 1997; Werb and Yan, 1998). Recently, several cell surface proteins (DiStefano et al., 1993; Pan and Rubin, 1997; Black et al., 1997; Kahn et al., 1998), including cadherins (Volk et al., 1990; Paradies and Grunwald, 1993; Lochter et al., 1997; Herren et al., 1998; Bergers and Coussens, 2000), have been shown to be removed by proteolytic "sheddase" activity (Hooper et al., 1997). Although MMP-2 cleaves several cell surface proteins (reviewed in McCawley and Matrisian, 2001), there is no report of its processing cell-cell adhesion molecules, such as cadherins. Moreover, it is expressed late in the process, as the cells begin to disperse, ...

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a unique tumour due to its aetiology, incidence pattern and its consistent association with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). EBV encodes many viral proteins, which targets crucial cell cycle regulatory proteins. Cadherins are a family of transmembrane glycoproteins, which mediates Ca;{2+}-dependent intercellular adhesion. Epithelial (E)-cadherin is an important member of this family, which is expressed predominantly on the surface of epithelial cells. E-cadherin acts as an invasion/metastasis-suppressor gene, hence knowledge of the molecular mechanism that controls its expression or function is of primary importance in understanding the process of tumor invasion. Loss of E-cadherin function has been shown to potentiate tumor cell invasion and interestingly, a large number of invasive tumors do not involve mutation of E-cadherin, but rather down regulation of expression. Hence in this study, an attempt was made to evaluate the protein level expression pattern of ...

Mouse FJX1 inhibits dendrite extension in the hippocampus [2]. Mouse knockouts have abnormal hippocampus morphology and cultured hippocampal neurons show increased dendrite branching and extension. Addition of FJX1 protein to hippocampal cultures had the opposite effect, suggesting that FJX1 may act extracellularly. ...

What are Cadherins?  What are Cadherins?
Cadherins are a group of proteins that help cells stick together. They are the main components of certain types of junctions between cells. These connections help define how a cell will be integrated into a structure, like a layer of skin or an organ.

Construction of plasmids. The SYT-SSX expression vectors pCXN2-SYT-SSX1 and pCXN2-SYT-SSX2 were graciously provided by Dr. Shinya Tanaka (Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan; ref. 21). The inserts were digested by EcoRI and NotI and subcloned into vectors pcDNA4/myc-His and pcDNA4/TO/myc-His (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). We also generated deletion mutants SYT-SSX1RD(−)/HisMyc and SYT-SSX2RD(−)/HisMyc lacking the COOH-terminal repression domain of SSX (also known as SSXRD) and a full-length SYT expression vector, pcDNA4/SYT/HisMyc. The full-length cDNAs for SSX1 and SSX2 were amplified using as template cDNA from K562 leukemia cells, and these cDNA fragments were cloned into pcDNA4/myc-His. The full-length Snail and Slug cDNAs were amplified from HeLa cells. The amplified fragments were subcloned into the expression vector p3xFLAG-CMV-10 (Sigma, St. Louis, MO)..

2D images as the new tool for cancer prevention  2D images as the new tool for cancer prevention
The second problem when trying to control the disease is the difficulty of spotting HDGC early. In fact its initial symptoms are very non-specific (stomach acidity and burping for example), so easy to miss. And without clear symptomology, early detection relies on searching gastric cells for lack of e-cadherin on the membrane (a malfunctioning e-cadherin also leaves the membrane to go inside the cell to be destroyed) with results that are not always reliable.. As consequence there has been a major effort to improve HDGC detection, and it is here that Sanches algorithm steps in. This new method has many advantages - it is semi-automated what allows, on one hand, the human operators to resort to their experience to choose the more representative cells, and on the other to rely on the computer to normalise results from cells with very different sizes and shapes, and work even with very heterogeneous cell populations. Resorting to images assured that the cells were hardly altered. All of these ...

Disassembly of CAJs and abrogation of cadherin‐mediated cell-cell adhesion is involved in changes of cell state including differentiation, apoptosis and tumor metastasis. For example, induction of apoptotic cell death or Ca2+ imbalance involves cleavage of cadherins and disassembly of CAJs (Herren et al., 1998; Ito et al., 1999; Vallorosi et al., 2000; Steinhusen et al., 2001). Furthermore, in the case of metastasis of epithelia tumors, inhibition of E‐cadherin‐mediated cell-cell adhesion is promoted by cleavage and secretion of extracytoplasmic E‐cadherin by MMPs (Lochter et al., 1997; Christofori and Semb, 1999; Noe et al., 2001). Although in some cell cultures PS1 was found mainly in the ER-Golgi system (De Strooper et al., 1997; Cupers et al., 2001), in cell cultures with extensive cell-cell contacts and in tissues PS1 concentrates mainly at the plasma membrane (Georgakopoulos et al., 1999; Nowotny et al., 2000; Xia et al., 2001) and, in the brain, this protein concentrates at ...

Cadherins, Ca2+-dependent adhesion molecules, are crucial for cell-cell junctions and remodeling. Cadherins form inter-junctional lattices by the formation of both cis and trans dimers. Here, we directly visualize and quantify the spatiotemporal dynamics of wild-type and dimer mutant N-cadherin interactions using time-lapse imaging of junction assembly, disassembly and a FRET reporter to assess Ca2+-dependent interactions. A trans dimer mutant (W2A) and a cis mutant (V81D/V174D) exhibited an increased Ca2+-sensitivity for the disassembly of trans dimers compared to the WT, while another mutant (R14E) was insensitive to Ca2+-chelation. Time-lapse imaging of junction assembly and disassembly, monitored in 2D and 3D (using cellular spheroids), revealed kinetic differences in the different mutants as well as different behaviors in the 2D and 3D environment. Taken together, these data provide new insights into the role that the cis and trans dimers play in the dynamic interactions of cadherins ...

CD103-FITC - Beckman Coulter  CD103-FITC - Beckman Coulter
The CD103 antigen was originally described as the human mucosal antigen 1 (HML-1) and was subsequently proved to be the integrin αE subunit. CD103 is composed of a 150 kDa chain associated with a 25 kDa chain by a disulfide bond. It is expressed as a heterodimer in association with the integrin β7 chain. CD103 is expressed on mucosa-associated T lymphocytes and activated cells. This human intra-epithelial lymphocyte marker is expressed in very few resting peripheral blood lymphocytes. αEβ7 binds to E-cadherin on epithelial cells. Activation and TGFβ-1 induce CD103 expression ...

This is thought to play an important role in cancer invasion and metastasis, and restoration of this system may suppress metastatic spread of cancer. In this study, the effects of a Ras farnesylation inhibitor (FTI-277) on E-cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion and metastatic potential were examined. In cell aggregation assays, FTI-277 stimulated aggregation of colon, liver and breast cancer cells. In vitro cultures of cancer cells showed that FTI-277 induced strong cell-cell contact. Immunoblotting analysis showed that FTI-277 increased E-cadherin/catenin (α, β and γ) expression and strongly stabilized E-cadherin/catenin ...

Catenin - Wikipedia  Catenin - Wikipedia
Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells. The first two catenins that were identified became known as α-catenin and β-catenin. A-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. B-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins. Additional catenins such as γ-catenin and δ-catenin have been identified. The name "catenin" was originally selected (catena means chain in Latin) because it was suspected that catenins might link cadherins to the cytoskeleton. α-catenin β-catenin δ-catenin γ-catenin All but α-catenin contain armadillo repeats. Several types of catenins work with N-cadherins to play an important role in learning and memory (For full article, see Cadherin-catenin complex in learning and memory). Cell-cell adhesion complexes are required for simple epithelia in higher organisms to maintain structure, function and polarity. These complexes, which help regulate cell growth in addition to creating and ...

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition is an important mechanism in cancer invasiveness and metastasis. We had previously reported that cancer cells expressing Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latent viral antigens EBV nuclear antigen EBNA3C and/ or EBNA1 showed higher motility and migration potential and had a propensity for increased metastases when tested in nude mice model. We now show that both EBNA3C and EBNA1 can modulate cellular pathways critical for epithelial to mesenchymal transition of cancer cells. Our data confirms that presence of EBNA3C or EBNA1 result in upregulation of transcriptional repressor Slug and Snail, upregulation of intermediate filament of mesenchymal origin vimentin, upregulation of transcription factor TCF8/ZEB1, downregulation as well as disruption of tight junction zona occludens protein ZO-1, downregulation of cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin, and nuclear translocation of β-catenin. We further show that the primary tumors as well as metastasized lesions derived from EBV ...

Soluble E-cadherin in systemic lupus erythematosus.  Soluble E-cadherin in systemic lupus erythematosus.
OBJECTIVE: E-cadherin is a potent adherens junction molecule implicated in tissue morphogenesis, epithelial functioning, and immune regulation. Serum levels of soluble E-cadherin (sE-cadherin), an end product of proteolytic cleavage of E-cadherin, is increased in patients with cancer, infections, and inflammation-related diseases. The aim of our study was to measure serum levels of sE-cadherin in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and to determine associations between serum levels of sE-cadherin and markers of inflammation and organ damage in female patients with SLE.. METHODS: Serum levels of sE-cadherin were analyzed by ELISA in 150 female patients with SLE and 31 healthy women. Simple and multiple regression analyses between sE-cadherin levels and disease-related variables were performed in patients with SLE.. RESULTS: Serum levels of sE-cadherin were elevated in patients with SLE compared with levels in healthy controls. sE-cadherin levels correlated positively with age, disease duration, ...

北京大学医学部机构知识库(IR@PKUHSC): E-cadherin expression is silenced by DNA methylation in cervical cancer cell lines and tumours  北京大学医学部机构知识库([email protected]): E-cadherin expression is silenced by DNA methylation in cervical cancer cell lines and tumours
A previous study showed E-cadherin expression was lost in some cervical cancer cell lines and tumours. This study was designed to clarify the significance of DNA methylation in silencing E-cadherin expression. We examined promoter methylation of E-cadherin in five cervical cancer cell lines and 20 cervical cancer tissues using methylation-specific PCR (MSP) and bisulphite DNA sequencing. The correlation of E-cadherin methylation and expression together with methyltransferase (DNMT1) were further studied. We found that hypermethylation of E-cadherin was involved in five cervical cancer cell lines and 40% (8/20) of cervical cancer tissues. E-cadherin protein was lost in 6/8 (75%) samples and 3/5 (60%) cell lines with promoter methylation. E-cadherin methylation was significantly correlated with increased DNMT1. Using an antisense DNMT1 oligo to transfect into SiHa HeLa C33A cell line, E-cadherin protein was re-expressed. We concluded that loss of E-cadherin expression was in part correlated with ...

Pathway Central: Remodeling of Adherens Junctions  Pathway Central: Remodeling of Adherens Junctions
The intercellular Adherens Junctions (AJs) are specialized sub-apical structures that function as principle mediators of cell-cell adhesion. Their disassembly correlates with a loss of cell-cell contact and an acquisition of migratory potential. The Adherens Junctions have a crucial role both as sensors of extracellular stimuli and in regulating the dynamics of epithelial cell sheets or with neighboring cells. Cadherins, the Type-I transmembrane proteins of the Adherens Junctions, are principally responsible for homotypic cell-cell adhesion. E-Cadherin, which is present primarily in epithelia, is the best-characterized Cadherin and represents the prototype of classical Cadherins. The extracellular domain of E-Cadherin binds to Ca2+ (Calcium) and forms complexes with the extracellular domains of E-Cadherin molecules on neighboring cells. The cytoplasmic domain of E-Cadherin associates with cytosolic proteins called Catenins (Alpha, Beta and p120), which in turn provide anchorage to the Actin ...

IJMS | Free Full-Text | Predicting the Functional Impact of CDH1 Missense Mutations in Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer  IJMS | Free Full-Text | Predicting the Functional Impact of CDH1 Missense Mutations in Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer
The role of E-cadherin in Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer (HDGC) is unequivocal. Germline alterations in its encoding gene (CDH1) are causative of HDGC and occur in about 40% of patients. Importantly, while in most cases CDH1 alterations result in the complete loss of E-cadherin associated with a well-established clinical impact, in about 20% of cases the mutations are of the missense type. The latter are of particular concern in terms of genetic counselling and clinical management, as the effect of the sequence variants in E-cadherin function is not predictable. If a deleterious variant is identified, prophylactic surgery could be recommended. Therefore, over the last few years, intensive research has focused on evaluating the functional consequences of CDH1 missense variants and in assessing E-cadherin pathogenicity. In that context, our group has contributed to better characterize CDH1 germline missense variants and is now considered a worldwide reference centre. In this review, we highlight the

CONTEXT: Appropriate cell-to-cell adhesion is fundamental for the epithelial phenotype of pituitary cells. Loss of the adhesion protein E-cadherin has been associated with invasiveness, metastasis, and poor prognosis in cancers of epithelial origin. In somatotroph adenomas, a variable and reduced expression of E-cadherin has been demonstrated. In addition, nuclear translocation of E-cadherin was found to correlate with pituitary tumor invasion.. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to examine the protein expression of E-cadherin in somatotroph pituitary adenomas in relation to adenoma size, invasiveness, and somatostatin analog (SMS) efficacy.. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eighty-three patients were included, and 29 were treated preoperatively with SMS. Adenoma E-cadherin protein expression was analyzed by Western blot (61 patients) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) (80 patients) with antibodies directed against both extracellular and intracellular domains (IHC).

Receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPmu associates with cadherins and catenins in vivo - ScienceOpen  Receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPmu associates with cadherins and catenins in vivo - ScienceOpen
The extracellular segment of the receptor-type type protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPmu, possesses an MAM domain, an immunoglobulin domain, and four fibronectin type-III repeats. It binds homophilically, i.e., PTPmu on the surface of one cell binds to PTPmu on an apposing cell, and the binding site lies within the immunoglobulin domain. The intracellular segment of PTPmu has two PTP domains and a juxtamembrane segment that is homologous to the conserved intracellular domain of the cadherins. In cadherins, this segment interacts with proteins termed catenins to mediate association with the actin cytoskeleton. In this article, we demonstrate that PTPmu associates with a complex containing cadherins, alpha- and beta-catenin in mink lung (MvLu) cells, and in rat heart, lung, and brain tissues. Greater than 80% of the cadherin in the cell is cleared from Triton X-100 lysates of MvLu cells after immunoprecipitation with antibodies to PTPmu; however, the complex is dissociated when lysates are prepared in

Hereditary breast cancer syndromes are associated with an increased risk of breast cancer and constitute a unique patient population, making up approximately 5%-10% of breast cancer cases in the United States. By virtue of the germline mutations that define these syndromes, invasive breast cancers in these patients have unique mechanisms that can be rationally targeted for therapeutic opportunities distinct from standard of care treatments in nongermline mutation associated breast cancers. This review intends to describe existing data on several of the most common hereditary breast cancer syndromes, including BRCA-related breast cancer syndrome, Li-Fraumeni syndrome, Cowden syndrome, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, and hereditary diffuse gastric cancer syndrome, specifically focusing on rational therapeutics utilized in these distinct patient subgroups and completed or ongoing clinical trials evaluating their efficacy ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Regulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition in breast cancer cells by cell contact and adhesion. AU - Cichon, Magdalena A.. AU - Nelson, Celeste M.. AU - Radisky, Derek C. PY - 2015/2/9. Y1 - 2015/2/9. N2 - Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a physiological program that is activated during cancer cell invasion and metastasis. We show here that EMT-related processes are linked to a broad and conserved program of transcriptional alterations that are influenced by cell contact and adhesion. Using cultured human breast cancer and mouse mammary epithelial cells, we find that reduced cell density, conditions under which cell contact is reduced, leads to reduced expression of genes associated with mammary epithelial cell differentiation and increased expression of genes associated with breast cancer. We further find that treatment of cells with matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), an inducer of EMT, interrupts a defined subset of cell contact-regulated genes, including genes ...

Desmosome - PlantCell@molpit  Desmosome - [email protected]
Desmosomes are molecular complexes of cell adhesion proteins and linking proteins that attach the cell surface adhesion proteins to intracellularkeratin cytoskeletal filaments.. The cell adhesion proteins of the desmosome, desmoglein and desmocollin, are members of the cadherin family of cell adhesion molecules. They aretransmembrane proteins that bridge the space between adjacent epithelial cellsby way of homophilic binding of their extracellular domains to other desmosomal cadherins on the adjacent cell. Both have five extracellular domains, and have calcium-binding motifs.. The extracellular domain of the desmosome is called the Extracellular Core Domain (ECD) or the Desmoglea, and is bisected by an electron-dense midline where the desmoglein and desmocollin proteins bind to each other. These proteins can bind in a W, S, or λ manner.. On the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane, there are two dense structures called the Outer Dense Plaque (ODP) and the Inner Dense Plaque (IDP). These are ...

... has a functional role in metastasis of tumor similar to E-selectin.[20] P-selectin is expressed on the surface of both stimulated endothelial cell and activated platelet and helps cancer cells invade into bloodstream for metastasis and provided locally with multiple growth factors respectively.[21] Moreover, it has been known that platelet facilitates tumor metastasis by forming complexes with tumor cells and leukocytes in the vasculature thus preventing recognition by macrophage, this is thought to contribute to the seeding of tumor microemboli to distant organs.[22] In vivo mice experiment showed that reduction in circulating platelets could reduce cancer metastasis.[23] The oligosaccharide sialylated Lewis x (sLe(x)) is expressed on the surface of tumor cells and can be recognized by E-selectin and P-selectin, playing on a key role in metastasis of the tumor. However, in the 4T1 breast cancer cell line, E-selectin reactivity is sLe(x) dependent while P-selectin reactivity is ...

CalsequestrinCalsequestrin
... is a calcium-binding protein of the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The protein helps hold calcium in the cisterna of the sarcoplasmic reticulum after a muscle contraction, even though the concentration of calcium in the sarcoplasmic reticulum is much higher than in the cytosol. It also helps the sarcoplasmic reticulum store an extraordinarily high amount of calcium ions. Each molecule of calsequestrin can bind 18 to 50 Ca2+ ions.[1] Sequence analysis has suggested that calcium is not bound in distinct pockets via EF-hand motifs, but rather via presentation of a charged protein surface. Two forms of calsequestrin have been identified. The cardiac form Calsequestrin-2 (CASQ2) is present in cardiac and slow skeletal muscle and the fast skeletal form Calsequestrin-1(CASQ1) is found in fast skeletal muscle. The release of calsequestrin-bound calcium (through a calcium release channel) triggers muscle contraction. The active protein is not highly structured, more than 50% of it adopting a ...
VCAM-1VCAM-1
The VCAM-1 protein mediates the adhesion of lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils to vascular endothelium. It also functions in leukocyte-endothelial cell signal transduction, and it may play a role in the development of atherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Upregulation of VCAM-1 in endothelial cells by cytokines occurs as a result of increased gene transcription (e.g., in response to Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and Interleukin-1 (IL-1)) and through stabilization of Messenger RNA (mRNA) (e.g., Interleukin-4 (IL-4)). The promoter region of the VCAM-1 gene contains functional tandem NF-κB (nuclear factor-kappa B) sites. The sustained expression of VCAM-1 lasts over 24 hours. Primarily, the VCAM-1 protein is an endothelial ligand for VLA-4 (Very Late Antigen-4 or integrin α4β1) of the β1 subfamily of integrins. VCAM-1 expression has also been observed in other cell types (e.g., smooth muscle cells). It has also been shown to interact with EZR[7] and Moesin.[7] CD106 ...
CD44CD44
... is a multistructural and multifunctional cell surface molecule involved in cell proliferation, cell differentiation, cell migration, angiogenesis, presentation of cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors to the corresponding receptors, and docking of proteases at the cell membrane, as well as in signaling for cell survival. All these biological properties are essential to the physiological activities of normal cells, but they are also associated with the pathologic activities of cancer cells. Experiments in animals have shown that targeting of CD44 by antibodies, antisense oligonucleotides, and CD44-soluble proteins markedly reduces the malignant activities of various neoplasms, stressing the therapeutic potential of anti-CD44 agents. High levels of the adhesion molecule CD44 on leukemic cells are essential to generate leukemia.[24] Furthermore, because alternative splicing and posttranslational modifications generate many different CD44 sequences, including, perhaps, tumor-specific ...
