α-Catenin overrides Src-dependent activation of β-catenin oncogenic signaling [PDF]
Abstract Loss of α-catenin is one of the characteristics of prostate cancer. The catenins (α and β) associated with E-cadherin play a critical role in the regulation of cell-cell adhesion. Tyrosine phosphorylation of β-catenin dissociates it from E-cadherin and facilitates its entry into the nucleus, where β-catenin acts as a ...

Peptide Bbeta(15-42) preserves endothelial barrier function in shock [PDF]
Loss of vascular barrier function causes leak of fluid and proteins into tissues, extensive leak leads to shock and death. Barriers are largely formed by endothelial cell-cell contacts built up by VE-cadherin and are under the control of RhoGTPases. Here

Perspective of synaptic protection after post-infarction treatment with statins [PDF]
Stroke is the second most common cause of death in people over 45 years of age in Colombia and is the leading cause of permanent disability worldwide. Cerebral ischemia is a stroke characterized by decreased blood flow due to the occlusion of one or more

Targeted modulation of IGFL2‐AS1 reveals its translational potential in cervical adenocarcinoma
Cervical adenocarcinoma patients face worse outcomes than squamous cell carcinoma counterparts despite similar treatment. The identification of IGFL2‐AS1's differential expression provides a molecular basis for distinguishing these histotypes, paving the way for personalized therapies and improved survival in vulnerable populations globally.

Acetylation of β-Catenin by p300 Regulates β-Catenin-Tcf4 Interaction [PDF]
Lysine acetylation modulates the activities of nonhistone regulatory proteins and plays a critical role in the regulation of cellular gene transcription. In this study, we showed that the transcriptional coactivator p300 acetylated beta-catenin at lysine 345, located in arm repeat 6, in vitro and in vivo.

Altered expression of adhesion molecules and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in silica-induced rat lung carcinogenesis [PDF]
Loss of the epithelial phenotype and disruption of adhesion molecules is a hallmark in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) reported in several types of cancer.

RIPK4 function interferes with melanoma cell adhesion and metastasis
RIPK4 promotes melanoma growth and spread. RIPK4 levels increase as skin lesions progress to melanoma. CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated deletion of RIPK4 causes melanoma cells to form less compact spheroids, reduces their migratory and invasive abilities and limits tumour growth and dissemination in mouse models.

Immunohistochemical analysis of E-cadherin, -catenin, -catenin, -catenin, and neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) in chordoma [PDF]
Aims—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.

Calcium-sensing receptor activation increases cell-cell adhesion and ß-cell function [PDF]
Background/Aims: The extracellular calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) is expressed in pancreatic β-cells where it is thought to facilitate cell-to-cell communication and augment insulin secretion.
