Misregulated E-cadherin expression associated with an aggressive brain tumor phenotype. [PDF]
Cadherins are essential components of the adherens junction complexes that mediate cell-cell adhesion and regulate cell motility. During tissue morphogenesis, changes in cadherin expression (known as cadherin switching) are a common mechanism for ...

The Tumor-Suppressor Function of E-Cadherin [PDF]
The transition from benign tumors to invasive, metastatic cancer cells involves changes in the extracellular matrix environment, cell motility, and cell-cell adhesion. Because cell-cell–adhesion molecules are dynamically regulated during human carcinogenesis, they have been implicated in tumorigenesis, especially during the later stages of tumor ...

Allosteric Regulation of E-Cadherin Adhesion [PDF]
Cadherins are transmembrane adhesion proteins that maintain intercellular cohesion in all tissues, and their rapid regulation is essential for organized tissue remodeling. Despite some evidence that cadherin adhesion might be allosterically regulated, testing of this has been hindered by the difficulty of quantifying altered E-cadherin binding affinity

Transcriptional repression of E-cadherin by human papillomavirus type 16 E6. [PDF]
There is increasing evidence supporting DNA virus regulation of the cell adhesion and tumour suppressor protein, E-cadherin. We previously reported that loss of E-cadherin in human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16-infected epidermis is contributed to by the ...

5-Azacytidine Enhancing Expression of E-cadherin in Adenocarcinoma Cell Line
Introduction: In this study, we assessed the expression of E-cadherin in HT29 cell line treated with 5-Azacytidine and colorectal cancer patient in an Iranian population. E-cadherin expression promotes metastasis and prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC).

N-terminal 1-54 amino acid sequence and Armadillo repeat domain are indispensable for P120-catenin isoform 1A in regulating E-cadherin. [PDF]
P120-catenin (p120ctn) exerts important roles in regulating E-cadherin and invasiveness in cancer cells. However, the mechanisms by which p120ctn isoforms 1 and 3 modulate E-cadherin expression are poorly understood.

E-cadherin is transcriptionally activated via suppression of ZEB1 transcriptional repressor by small RNA-mediated gene silencing. [PDF]
RNA activation has been reported to be induced by small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that act on the promoters of several genes containing E-cadherin. In this study, we present an alternative mechanism of E-cadherin activation in human PC-3 cells by siRNAs ...

Microtubules Inhibit E-Cadherin Adhesive Activity by Maintaining Phosphorylated p120-Catenin in a Colon Carcinoma Cell Model. [PDF]
Tight regulation of cadherin-mediated intercellular adhesions is critical to both tissue morphogenesis during development and tissue homeostasis in adults.
