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

open access: yesPLoS 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.

PALS1 Regulates E-Cadherin Trafficking in Mammalian Epithelial Cells [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Biology of the Cell, 2007
Protein Associated with Lin Seven 1 (PALS1) is an evolutionarily conserved scaffold protein that targets to the tight junction in mammalian epithelia. Prior work in our laboratory demonstrated that the knockdown of PALS1 in Madin Darby canine kidney cells leads to tight junction and polarity defects.

Interactions and Feedbacks in E-Cadherin Transcriptional Regulation

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Epithelial tissues rely on the adhesion between participating cells to retain their integrity. The transmembrane protein E-cadherin is the major protein that mediates homophilic adhesion between neighbouring cells and is, therefore, one of the critical ...

Functions of p120ctn isoforms in cell-cell adhesion and intracellular signaling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The functions of many organs depend on the generation of an epithelium. The transition from a set of loosely connected nonpolarized cells to organized sheets of closely associated polarized epithelial cells requires the assembly of specialized cell ...

E-Cadherin-Deficient Epithelial Cells Are Sensitive to HDAC Inhibitors [PDF]

open access: yesCancers, 2021
Inactivating germline mutations in the CDH1 gene (encoding the E-cadherin protein) are the genetic hallmark of hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC), and somatic CDH1 mutations are an early event in the development of sporadic diffuse gastric cancer (DGC) and lobular breast cancer (LBC).

The comprehensive role of E-cadherin in maintaining prostatic epithelial integrity during oncogenic transformation and tumor progression.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2019
E-cadherin complexes with the actin cytoskeleton via cytoplasmic catenins and maintains the functional characteristics and integrity of the epithelia in normal epithelial tissues.

Functions of p120ctn in development and disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
p120 catenin (p120ctn), a component of the cadherin-catenin complex, was the first member to be identified in a most interesting subfamily of the Armadillo family. Several p120ctn isoforms are generated by alternative splicing.

The miR-200 family determines the epithelial phenotype of cancer cells by targeting the E-cadherin repressors ZEB1 and ZEB2.

open access: yesGenes & Development, 2008
Cancer progression has similarities with the process of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) found during embryonic development, during which cells down-regulate E-cadherin and up-regulate Vimentin expression.

TGF-β signaling links E-cadherin loss to suppression of nucleotide excision repair. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
E-cadherin is a cell adhesion molecule best known for its function in suppressing tumor progression and metastasis. Here we show that E-cadherin promotes nucleotide excision repair through positively regulating the expression of xeroderma pigmentosum ...
