N-cadherin in cancer dormancy

Cell death in therapy, 2015
AbstractN-cadherin is an adhesion protein, which is important for intercellular interaction. It is involved in cell migration and motility during embryonic development, neuronal synapsis and cancer metastasis. There are several signaling cascades affected by N-cadherin including TGF-β, Rho family. N-cadherin is associated at the cytoplasmic domain with

Soluble N-cadherin fragment promotes angiogenesis [PDF]

Clinical & Experimental Metastasis, 2006
Endothelial cells express two dependent intercellular adhesion molecules: vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin, specific for endothelial cells, and N-cadherin, also present in neuronal, lens, skeletal and heart muscle cells, osteoblasts, pericytes and fibroblasts.

N-Cadherin Induction by ECM Stiffness and FAK Overrides the Spreading Requirement for Proliferation of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

Cell Reports, 2015
In contrast to the accepted pro-proliferative effect of cell-matrix adhesion, the proliferative effect of cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion remains unresolved. Here, we studied the effect of N-cadherin on cell proliferation in the vasculature. We show

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.

Presence of N-cadherin transcripts in mature spermatozoa [PDF]

Molecular Human Reproduction, 2000
The essential mechanism involved in sperm-oolemma fusion has yet to be elucidated. Recognition and binding is initiated by specific cell surface receptor engagement between gametes. Fusion between hamster oolemma and spermatozoa is prevented in the presence of trypsin in Ca(2+)-free media, as is oocyte activation, implicating a cadherin-like adhesion ...

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.

Loss of N-Cadherin Expression in Tumor Transplants Produced From As+3- and Cd+2-Transformed Human Urothelial (UROtsa) Cell Lines. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
BACKGROUND:Epithelial to mesenchymal transition is a process in which a cell experiences a loss of epithelial cell characteristics and acquires a more mesenchymal cell phenotype.

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 ...

Cadherins Interact With Synaptic Organizers to Promote Synaptic Differentiation

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
Classical cadherins, a set of ~20 related recognition and signaling molecules, have been implicated in many aspects of neural development, including the formation and remodeling of synapses.

Dimeric Versions of Two Short N-cadherin Binding Motifs (HAVDI and INPISG) Function as N-cadherin Agonists [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2002
N-cadherin is a member of the classical cadherin family of homophilic binding molecules. Peptide competition studies have identified the HAVDI and INPISGQ sequences as functional binding motifs in extracellular domain 1 (ECD1) of N-cadherin. Whereas monomeric versions of these motifs function as specific N-cadherin antagonists, we now show that cyclic ...
