E-cadherin Is a WT1 Target Gene [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2000
The WT1 tumor suppressor gene encodes a transcription factor that can activate and repress gene expression. Transcriptional targets relevant for the growth suppression functions of WT1 are poorly understood. We found that mesenchymal NIH 3T3 fibroblasts stably expressing WT1 exhibit growth suppression and features of epithelial differentiation ...

There are four dynamically and functionally distinct populations of E-cadherin in cell junctions

Biology Open, 2015
E-cadherin is a trans-membrane tumor suppressor responsible for epithelial cell adhesion. E-cadherin forms adhesive clusters through combined extra-cellular cis- and trans-interactions and intracellular interaction with the actin cytoskeleton.

E-cadherin, guardian of liver physiology [PDF]

Clinics and Research in Hepatology and Gastroenterology, 2015
E-cadherin is a cell-to-cell adhesion molecule involved in epithelial cell behavior, tissue formation and cancer suppression. In the liver, E-cadherin is expressed by hepatocytes and biliary epithelial cells. However, the exact role of E-cadherin in hepatic pathophysiology remains largely unknown.

Paranuclear E-Cadherin in Gastric Adenocarcinoma [PDF]

American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 2002
Decreased E-cadherin expression permits dissociation and widespread dissemination of gastric adenocarcinoma cells. We studied the relationship between paranuclear E-cadherin distribution and the histopathologic characteristics of gastric adenocarcinomas.

Characterizing interactions in E-cadherin assemblages

Biophysical Journal, 2023
Cadherin intermolecular interactions are critical for cell-cell adhesion and play essential roles in tissue formation and the maintenance of tissue structures. In this study, we focus on E-cadherin, a classical cadherin that connects epithelial cells, to understand how they interact in cis and trans conformations when attached to the same cell or ...

Epigenetic reprogramming of lineage switching in cancer

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cancer cells rarely commit to a single identity. Epigenetic mechanisms and tumor microenvironment cues push epithelial cells toward flexible, hybrid states that can shift into mesenchymal, neuroendocrine, or stem‐like fates, driving metastasis, drug resistance, and tumor heterogeneity. Targeting the epigenetic regulators behind these transitions, using

Signaling and Mechanical Roles of E-cadherin [PDF]

Cell Communication & Adhesion, 2013
The epithelium comprises an important tissue that lines the internal and external surfaces of metazoan organs. In order to organize sheets of epithelial cells into three-dimensional tissues, it requires the coordination of basic cellular processes such as polarity, adhesion, growth, and differentiation.

The role of miR‐335‐5p in the redifferentiation of BRAF p.V600E thyroid cancers

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The BRAF p.V600E mutation promotes thyroid cancer dedifferentiation and radioiodine resistance. Using a network approach, we identified miR‐335‐5p as a key regulator of BRAF‐mutated thyroid tumors. Restoring miR‐335‐5p increased thyroid‐specific gene expression and iodine uptake in cells and organoids.

Engineered extracellular vesicles enriched with the miR‐214/199a cluster enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy in ovarian cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Loss of the miR‐214/199a cluster is associated with recurrence in ovarian cancer. Engineered small extracellular vesicles (m214‐sEVs) elevate miR‐214‐3p/miR‐199a‐5p in tumor cells, suppress β‐catenin, TLR4, and YKT6 signaling, reprogram tumor‐derived sEV cargo, reduce chemoresistance and migration, and enhance carboplatin efficacy and survival in ...

Cancer: leaping the E‐cadherin hurdle [PDF]

The EMBO Journal, 2015
Aberrant activation of the Wnt signaling pathway is a common cause of colon cancer and other tumor types, accomplishing many of the hallmarks of cancer including sustained proliferative signaling, replicative immortality, reprogrammed metabolism, angiogenesis, and invasion.
