Andrology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background The tight junction protein CLDN6 has been identified as a cancer‐associated cell surface marker that is rarely expressed in healthy tissues. In testicular germ cell tumors (GCT), CLDN6 is particularly detectable in seminomas, embryonal carcinomas, and choriocarcinomas.

miR-195-5p as Regulator of γ-Catenin and Desmosome Junctions in Colorectal Cancer
, 2023 Desmosomes play a key role in the regulation of cell adhesion and signaling. Dysregulation of the desmosome complex is associated with the loss of epithelial cell polarity and disorganized tissue architecture typical of colorectal cancer (CRC).

Andrology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Pro‐inflammatory cytokines, TNF and IL‐1B, are essential for testicular homeostasis. Diacerein, an anti‐inflammatory drug, inhibits these cytokines, impairing M2 macrophages and Leydig cells (LCs). However, its impact on Sertoli cells (SCs) and M1 (CD68) macrophages remains unknown.

, 2023 Desmosomes are essential structures for ensuring tissue functions, and their deregulation is involved in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). JUP (γ-catenin) is a desmosome adhesion component that also acts as a signaling hub, suggesting its

Desmosome assembly and dynamics [PDF]
Trends in Cell Biology, 2013 Desmosomes are intercellular junctions that anchor intermediate filaments (IFs) to the plasma membrane, forming a supracellular scaffold that provides mechanical resilience to tissues. This anchoring function is accomplished by specialized members of the cadherin family and associated cytoskeletal linking proteins, which together form a highly ...

Journal of Cutaneous Pathology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Hailey‐Hailey disease (HHD) is a rare autosomal dominant blistering disorder caused by mutations in the ATP2C1 gene, which impair keratinocyte adhesion through disrupted calcium signaling. While traditionally considered a structural defect, recent studies suggest that Th2‐mediated inflammation may exacerbate disease pathology ...

Different roles of cadherins in the assembly and structural integrity of the desmosome complex.
, 2014 International audience: Adhesion between cells is established by the formation of specialized intercellular junctional complexes, such as desmosomes. Desmosomes comprise two members of the cadherin superfamily of cell adhesion proteins, desmocollin (Dsc)

Desmosomes in acquired disease [PDF]
Cell and Tissue Research, 2015 Desmosomes are cell-cell junctions that mediate adhesion and couple the intermediate filament cytoskeleton to sites of cell-cell contact. This architectural arrangement integrates adhesion and cytoskeletal elements of adjacent cells. The importance of this robust adhesion system is evident in numerous human diseases, both inherited and acquired, which ...
