Signaling and Mechanical Roles of E-cadherin

Abstract: 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. Moreover, as a primary barrier to the external environment, epithelial tissues are often subjected to physical forces and damage. This critical barrier function dictates that these fundamental cellular processe… Show more

“…CXXC5 can interact with and inhibit the wingless type MMTV integration/β-catenin signaling pathway expressed in human trophoblastic cells [19, 20]. Mainly localized to cell-cell junctions, β-catenin plays an important role in intercellular adhesion, cell polarity, and architecture by binding to E-cadherin [21, 22]. Compared with non-pregnant tubal tissues, immunohistochemistry demonstrated that β-catenin was strongly expressed at tubal implantation sites in EPs following IVF-ET [23].…”

“…TJs are composed of both cytosolic (i.e., zonula occludens) and integral membrane proteins (i.e., occludin, claudins). Adjacent to the TJ is the adherens junction (AJ), composed of E-cadherin and cadherin/catenin complexes that are linked with the actin cytoskeleton (23). The cytoskeletal links that support apical epithelial junctions are among the most highly ordered arrays of actin filaments in nature (24).…”

“…Immediately below the TJs are the cadherin-rich AJs that mediate strong cell-to-cell adhesion and have functional roles in forming and regulating the epithelial barrier (15). The AJ E-cadherin integrates various intracellular and extracellular signals and plays an important role in the control of epithelial paracellular permeability (16,17). TJs and AJs are highly dynamic, and their constituent proteins undergo continuous remodeling and turnover under tight regulation by numerous extracellular and intracellular factors.…”
