alpha-catenin exists as part of the cadherin-catenin adhesion complex as well as in a cytoplasmic pool. However, which of these pools is responsible for its biological impact remains controversial. A structure-function analysis in Drosophila melanogaster illuminates how the molecular properties of alpha-catenin translate into functional outcomes in an ...

A role for alpha-and beta-catenins in bacterial uptake.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2000Interaction of internalin with E-cadherin promotes entry of Listeria monocytogenes into human epithelial cells. This process requires actin cytoskeleton rearrangements. Here we show, by using a series of stably transfected cell lines expressing E-cadherin variants, that the ectodomain of E-cadherin is sufficient for bacterial adherence and that the ...

Expression of E-cadherin, alpha-and beta-catenins in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma
Pancreatology, 2002E-Cadherin and its associated cytoplasmic proteins, 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 catenins and loss of expression, as well as mutations, has been described in a number of epithelial cancers.

Loss of expression and function of the E-cadherin/catenin membrane complex can result in loss of cell adhesion and contribute to invasive or metastatic potential in carcinomas. The aim of this study was to examine the expression of alpha- and beta-catenin and E-cadherin in Barrett's esophagus with and without dysplasia and in esophageal adenocarcinomas

Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) has features distinct from those of conventional pulmonary adenocarcinoma (CPA) in terms of its characteristic growth pattern along alveolar walls and intrapulmonary metastasis via the aerogenous route. We speculated, therefore, that BAC might differ from CPA in its capacity for cell-to-cell or cell-to-basement ...

The epithelioid features seen in chordoma are unique among mesenchymal tumours. However, no detailed analysis regarding cell-cell communication has been conducted in this epithelioid tumour. The aims of this study were to investigate cell-cell communication in chordoma.By means of immunohistochemical techniques that incorporated a panel of monoclonal ...

Cell adhesion molecules, such as epithelial cadherin (E-cadherin), might be involved in the processes of tumor invasion and differentiation. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of E-cadherin, alpha-catenin, and beta-catenin in endometrial carcinoma and to determine the prognostic value of these factors.

Expression of E-cadherin and alpha- and beta-catenins in thymoma.
The Journal of pathology, 1998Expression of the cell adhesion molecules including E-cadherin and its cytosolic binding proteins, alpha- and beta-catenins, has been widely studied in a variety of tumours, but not, to date, in thymic epithelial tumours. To observe the expression pattern of these adhesion molecules, immunohistochemical stains for E-cadherin (E-CD) and alpha- and beta ...

Immunohistochemical detection of alpha-catenin expression in human cancers.
The American journal of pathology, 1994The function of E-cadherin is thought to be regulated by its associated cytoplasmic proteins including alpha-catenin. To determine whether possible downregulation of alpha-catenin expression may play a role in tumor invasion and metastasis through the dysfunction of E-cadherin, we investigated the expression of alpha-catenin in human carcinoma samples (

Tumour cell invasion and metastasis are the processes which kill most cancer patients. Tumour cells with the greatest invasive and metastatic capacity may be those with the highest number of genetic aberrations. The present study has analysed the expression of several tumour-related proteins in both primary tumours and metastatic lesions from 34 breast
