Robinow syndrome DVL1 variants disrupt morphogenesis and appendage formation in a Drosophila disease model

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Robinow syndrome is a rare developmental syndrome caused by variants in genes in Wnt signaling pathways. We previously showed that expression of patient variants in Dishevelled 1 (DVL1) in Drosophila and chicken models disrupts the balance of canonical and non‐canonical Wnt signaling.

E-cadherin and cell adhesion: a role in architecture and function in the pancreatic islet [PDF]

, 2007
Background/Aims: The efficient secretion of insulin from beta-cells requires extensive intra-islet communication. The cell surface adhesion protein epithelial (E)-cadherin (ECAD) establishes and maintains epithelial tissues such as the islets of ...

The association between neural crest‐derived glia and melanocyte lineages throughout development and disease

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient cell population that emerges from the dorsal neural tube during neurulation and migrates extensively throughout the embryo. Among their diverse derivatives, glial cells (such as Schwann and satellite ganglionic cells) and melanocytes represent two major lineages. In vitro studies suggested they share a common

β-Catenin is a pH sensor with decreased stability at higher intracellular pH. [PDF]

, 2018
β-Catenin functions as an adherens junction protein for cell-cell adhesion and as a signaling protein. β-catenin function is dependent on its stability, which is regulated by protein-protein interactions that stabilize β-catenin or target it for ...

Loss of Twist1 leads to disruption of ciliary length, endocytic vesicle dynamics, and cell–cell junctions during neural tube formation

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Endocytosis constitutes a fundamental cellular process governing development through coordinated regulation of plasma membrane remodeling and ciliogenesis, processes essential for cell shape changes and tissue development. Although Twist1 null embryos display complete cranial neural tube (NT) closure defects and conditional knockout

Formin' adherens junctions

The Journal of Cell Biology, 2003
Epithelial cells zipper together thanks to linear actin cables—cables that assemble at newly formed adherens junctions to stabilize them, thereby counteracting retractive forces at sites of cell–cell contact. Now, Agnieszka Kobielak, Amalia Pasolli, and Elaine Fuchs (Rockefeller University, New York, NY) have found that formin-1 drives the actin ...

The epithelial integrity is preserved during particle exchange across the epithelium by macrophages and dendritic cells

European Respiratory Review, 2008
The epithelium of the human airway wall serves as structural and functional barrier against inhaled and deposited particulate antigen. Recently we have shown that human blood monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDC) and human blood monocytes derived ...

Peptide RL‐QN15 Regulates Functions of Epidermal Stem Cells to Accelerate Skin Wound Regeneration via the FZD8/β‐Catenin Axis

Exploration, EarlyView.
Amphibian‐derived peptide RL‐QN15 activates the Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway by interacting with the FZD8 membrane receptor, promoting epidermal stem cells proliferation, migration, stemness, and EMT processes, thus promoting skin wound healing.

HIF2α-dependent Dock4/Rac1-signaling regulates formation of adherens junctions and cell polarity in normoxia

Scientific Reports
Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF) 1 and 2 regulate similar but distinct sets of target genes. Although HIFs are best known for their roles in mediating the hypoxia response accumulating evidence suggests that under certain conditions HIFs, particularly ...

Adherens junction protein expression is associated with poor response to neoadjuvant FLOT chemotherapy and pro‐inflammatory tumor microenvironment in esophageal adenocarcinoma

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is an aggressive cancer with poor survival and variable response to perioperative chemotherapy. Although histopathological features correlate with outcomes, the relationship specifically between adherens junction (AJ) protein expression and treatment response in EAC remains uncertain.
