Abstract

Members of the Dapper (Dpr)/Dact protein family are involved in the regulation of distinct signaling pathways, including TGFbeta/Nodal, canonical and noncanonical Wnt pathways. Three Dpr genes, Dpr1, Dpr2 and Dpr3, are expressed in mouse embryos and in many adult tissues; however, their in vivo functions have not been reported. In this study, we generated Dpr2-deficient mice using a gene-knockout approach. Homozygous Dpr2 knockout (Dpr2(-/-)) embryos developed normally and postnatal Dpr2(-/-) mice grew to adulthood without obvious morphological or behavioral defects. We found that Dpr2 was expressed highly in epidermal keratinocytes and in hair follicles of adult mice, and that Dpr2 deficiency resulted in accelerated re-epithelialization during cutaneous wound healing. Furthermore, we demonstrated that loss of Dpr2 function enhanced the responses of keratinocytes to TGFbeta stimulation, and that TGFbeta signals promoted adhesion to fibronectin and migration of keratinocytes, by regulating the expression of specific integrin genes. Thus, Dpr2 plays an inhibitory role in the re-epithelialization of adult skin wounds by attenuating TGFbeta signaling.

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.
