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.

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 ...

Oncogenic DMTF1β promotes cancer cell motility by regulating autophagy through ULK1 stabilization

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In the current study, we demonstrate that the oncogene DMTF1β regulates ULK1 stability by reducing its proteasomal degradation in cancer cells. This stabilization enables ULK1 to induce autophagy, which in turn facilitates cancer cell migration. Consequently, reduced DMTF1β levels lead to decreased autophagy and impaired cancer cell migration.

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.

Epigenetic silencing of the liver‐specific lncRNA LUNAR promotes liver cancer progression via NOTCH activation

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
LUNAR is a liver‐specific long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) that is highly expressed in normal liver but becomes epigenetically silenced in hepatocellular carcinoma through promoter hypermethylation. Loss of LUNAR is associated with NOTCH activation, epithelial–mesenchymal transition, and metastasis, whereas restoring LUNAR restrains metastatic progression ...

Targeting the EpCAM‐AXL axis to overcome drug resistance in lung cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Lung cancer cells often evade therapy by hijacking signaling pathways. We reveal that cleaved EpCAM (sEpCAM) stabilizes the oncogenic protein AXL, driving NF‐κB and STAT3‐mediated chemoresistance. This EpCAM‐AXL axis identifies a high‐risk patient subset with poor prognosis.

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 ...

Aquaporin‐3 and aquaporin‐5 impact the development of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma spheroids

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of the role of aquaporin‐3 (AQP3) and aquaporin‐5 (AQP5) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Both proteins are upregulated in PDAC and are associated with tumor progression and metastatic potential. Silencing AQP3 or AQP5 in PDAC spheroids results in decreased diameter, area, and overall growth, underscoring their key ...

E-cadherin: A determinant molecule associated with ovarian cancer progression, dissemination and aggressiveness. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Ovarian cancer (OC) is the fifth cancer death cause in women worldwide. The malignant nature of this disease stems from its unique dissemination pattern.

E-cadherin: gatekeeper of airway mucosa and allergic sensitization

Trends in Immunology, 2011
The airway epithelium plays a role in immune regulation during environmental challenge, which is intertwined with its barrier function and capacity to limit submucosal access of environmental factors. In asthma, mucosal barrier function is often compromised, with disrupted expression of the adhesion molecule E-cadherin.
