P-, E-, and H-cadherins differ in their relationships with coronary stenosis, cardiovascular outcomes, and unplanned recurrent revascularization [PDF]

Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology Plus
Background and aims: Cadherins are adhesion proteins, and their dysregulation may result in the development of atherosclerosis, plaque rupture, or lesions of the vascular wall.

Cadherins as Matchmakers [PDF]

Neuron, 2011
Cadherins implement afferent-target matching in invertebrates, but proof for this concept in mammalian circuits has remained elusive. Two new studies in this issue of Neuron show that cadherin-6 mediates retinal ganglion cell target selection and that cadherin-9 promotes synapse specificity in the hippocampus.

Genome-wide identification and spatiotemporal expression analysis of cadherin superfamily members in echinoderms

EvoDevo, 2023
Background Cadherins are calcium-dependent transmembrane cell–cell adhesion proteins that are essential for metazoan development. They consist of three subfamilies: classical cadherins, which bind catenin, protocadherins, which contain 6–7 calcium ...

Roads to Stat3 Paved with Cadherins

Cells, 2022
The engagement of cadherins, cell-to-cell adhesion proteins, triggers a dramatic increase in the levels and activity of the Rac/Cdc42 GTPases, through the inhibition of proteasomal degradation.

Cadherin switching [PDF]

Journal of Cell Science, 2008
The cadherin molecules at adherens junctions have multiple isoforms. Cadherin isoform switching (cadherin switching) occurs during normal developmental processes to allow cell types to segregate from one another. Tumor cells often recapitulate this activity and the result is an aggressive tumor cell that gains the ability to leave the site of the tumor

E-Cadherin Is Expressed in Epithelial Cells of the Choroid Plexus in Human and Mouse Brains

Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2023
Evidence showing the functional significance of the choroid plexus is accumulating. Epithelial cells with tight and adherens junctions of the choroid plexus play important roles in cerebrospinal fluid production and circadian rhythm formation.

Autoregulation of E-cadherin expression by cadherin–cadherin interactions [PDF]

The Journal of Cell Biology, 2003
Transcriptional repression of E-cadherin, characteristic of epithelial to mesenchymal transition, is often found also during tumor cell invasion. At metastases, migratory fibroblasts sometimes revert to an epithelial phenotype, by a process involving regulation of the E-cadherin–β-catenin complex. We investigated the molecular basis of this regulation,

Extracellular domains of E-cadherin determine key mechanical phenotypes of an epithelium through cell- and non-cell-autonomous outside-in signaling.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Cadherins control intercellular adhesion in most metazoans. In vertebrates, intercellular adhesion differs considerably between cadherins of type-I and type-II, predominantly due to their different extracellular regions.

Trichomonas vaginalis: Monolayer and Cluster Formation—Ultrastructural Aspects Using High-Resolution Scanning Electron Microscopy

Pathogens, 2023
Trichomonas vaginalis is an extracellular protozoan parasite that causes human trichomoniasis, a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that affects approximately 270 million people worldwide. The phenomenon of T. vaginalis adhesion to inert substrates has

Association of DNA Methylation Patterns in 7 Novel Genes With Ischemic Stroke in the Northern Chinese Population

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Background: Ischemic stroke is a highly complex disorder. This study aims to identify novel methylation changes in ischemic stroke.Methods: We carried out an epigenome-wide study of ischemic stroke using an Infinium HumanMethylation 850K array (cases ...
