Abstract

Signaling via intercellular junctions plays an important role in the regulation of growth and differentiation of epithelial cells. Loss of cell-cell contacts has been implicated in carcinogenesis, tumor progression, and metastasis. Here, we investigated whether 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3] was able to stimulate the assembly of adherens junctions and/or desmosomes in cultured human keratinocytes. After 4-day incubation, 1,25-(OH)2D3 caused assembly of adherens junctions, but not desmosomes. The adherens junctions were identified upon known ultrastructural criteria and evidence of the translocation of specific junctional proteins (E-cadherin, P-cadherin, alpha-catenin, and vinculin) to the cell-cell borders. The presence of alpha-catenin and vinculin at cell-cell borders indicated that the adherens junctions were functional. This was further supported by showing that anti E-cadherin antibody inhibited the 1,25-(OH)2D3-induced keratinocyte stratification. A relation between protein kinase C and adherens junction regulation was noticed. 1,25-(OH)2D3-dependent formation of junctions was blocked by the inhibitors of protein kinase C, bisindolylmaleimide and 1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methyl-piperazine (H-7), and treatme...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins. Discover the latest research on cadherins and catenins here.

Adherens Junctions

An adherens junction is defined as a cell junction whose cytoplasmic face is linked to the actin cytoskeleton. They can appear as bands encircling the cell (zonula adherens) or as spots of attachment to the extracellular matrix (adhesion plaques). Adherens junctions uniquely disassemble in uterine epithelial cells to allow the blastocyst to penetrate between epithelial cells. Discover the latest research on adherens junctions here.
