Epithelial and Neural Cadherin in Mammalian Fertilization: Studies in the Mouse Model [PDF]
Successful mammalian fertilization requires a well-orchestrated sequence of molecular events leading to gamete fusion. Since this interaction involves Ca2+-dependent adhesion events, the participation of the Ca+2-dependent cell-cell adhesion proteins Epithelial (E-cad) and Neural (N-cad) cadherin is envisaged. We have previously reported the expression

CD44 upregulation in E-cadherin-negative esophageal cancers results in cell invasion. [PDF]
E-cadherin is frequently lost during epithelial-mesenchymal transition and the progression of epithelial tumorigenesis. We found a marker of epithelial-mesenchymal transition, CD44, upregulated in response to functional loss of E-cadherin in esophageal ...

Soluble E‐cadherin: A marker of genital epithelial disruption
AbstractProblemThe genital epithelial barrier is a crucial first line of defence against HIV, and epithelial disruption may enhance HIV susceptibility. Assessment of genital epithelial integrity requires biopsies, but their collection is not practical in many research settings.

Gastrulation EMT Is Independent of P-Cadherin Downregulation. [PDF]
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an evolutionarily conserved process during which cells lose epithelial characteristics and gain a migratory phenotype.

Cadherin and Integrin Regulation of Epithelial Cell Migration [PDF]
These studies quantified the relative effects of E-cadherin expression and homophilic ligation on the integrin-mediated motility of epithelial cells. Micropatterned proteins were used to quantitatively titrate the ligation of E-cadherin and integrin receptors in order to assess their coordinate influence on the migration velocities of MDA-MB-231 breast

Als3 is a Candida albicans invasin that binds to cadherins and induces endocytosis by host cells. [PDF]
Candida albicans is the most common cause of hematogenously disseminated and oropharyngeal candidiasis. Both of these diseases are characterized by fungal invasion of host cells. Previously, we have found that C.

Reduced surface expression of epithelial E-cadherin evoked by interferon-gamma is Fyn kinase-dependent. [PDF]
Interferon gamma (IFNγ) is an important regulatory cytokine that can exert a pro-inflammatory effect in the gut, where it has been shown to increase epithelial permeability via disruption of the tight junctions.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is a debilitating cancer of the bone that commonly afflicts the young and old. This may be de novo or associated with tumorigenic syndromes. However, many molecular mechanisms are still being uncovered and may offer greater avenues for screening and therapy.
