The functional activity of E-cadherin controls tumor cell metastasis at multiple steps

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance The expression of E-cadherin has been implicated in tumor metastasis, often as a tumor suppressor, but also as a promoter of growth and metastasis.

Mechanical properties of tunneling nanotube and its mechanical stability in human embryonic kidney cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are thin membrane tubular structures that interconnect physically separated cells. Growing evidence indicates that TNTs play unique roles in various diseases by facilitating intercellular transfer of signaling and organelles ...

TGF-β signaling links E-cadherin loss to suppression of nucleotide excision repair. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
E-cadherin is a cell adhesion molecule best known for its function in suppressing tumor progression and metastasis. Here we show that E-cadherin promotes nucleotide excision repair through positively regulating the expression of xeroderma pigmentosum ...

Molecular cloning and characterization of B-cadherin, a novel chick cadherin. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
Calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion is mediated in large part by a set of homologous integral membrane glycoproteins termed cadherins. In this report, antibodies to conserved domains in previously described cadherins have been used to isolate cDNAs ...

Quantification of the stiffness and strength of cadherin ectodomain binding with different ions

open access: yesTheoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2014
The stiffness and strength of extracellular (EC) region of cadherin are proposed to be two important mechanical properties both for cadherin as a mechanotransductor and for the formation of cell-cell adhesion.

N-cadherin acts in concert with Slit1-Robo2 signaling in regulating aggregation of placode-derived cranial sensory neurons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Vertebrate cranial sensory ganglia have a dual origin from the neural crest and ectodermal placodes. In the largest of these, the trigeminal ganglion, Slit1-Robo2 signaling is essential for proper ganglion assembly.

Toxoplasma gondii down modulates cadherin expression in skeletal muscle cells inhibiting myogenesis

open access: yesBMC Microbiology, 2011
Background Toxoplasma gondii belongs to a large and diverse group of obligate intracellular parasitic protozoa. Primary culture of mice skeletal muscle cells (SkMC) was employed as a model for experimental toxoplasmosis studies.

Long-term potentiation through calcium-mediated N-Cadherin interaction is tightly controlled by the three-dimensional architecture of the synapse [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Poster presentation: Twenty Second Annual Computational Neuroscience Meeting: CNS*2013. Paris, France. 13-18 July 2013. The synaptic cleft is an extracellular domain that is capable of relaying a presynaptically received electrical signal by diffusive ...

The miR-200 family determines the epithelial phenotype of cancer cells by targeting the E-cadherin repressors ZEB1 and ZEB2.

open access: yesGenes & Development, 2008
Cancer progression has similarities with the process of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) found during embryonic development, during which cells down-regulate E-cadherin and up-regulate Vimentin expression.

Unconventional Cadherin Localization in Honey Bee Gonads Revealed Through Domain-Specific Apis mellifera E- and N-Cadherin Antibodies Indicates Alternative Functions

open access: yesInsects, 2012
As key factors in intercellular adhesion processes, cadherins play important roles in a plethora of developmental processes, including gametogenesis. In a previous study on cadherin localization in the gonads of honey bees, performed with heterologous ...
