Abstract
It has been reported that ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation causes the loss of E-cadherin of melanocytes, leading them to escape from neighboring keratinocytes during melanoma development. However, little has been paid on its effect on E-cadherin of keratinocytes. In the present study we therefore focus on whether UVB affects expression of E-cadherin-catenin complex in human HaCaT keratinocytes. We found that E-cadherin, beta-, and gamma-catenin but not alpha-catenin were proteolytically cleaved in UVB-irradiated HaCaT keratinocytes. The effect was only observed in keratinocyte undergoing apoptosis. Cleavage of beta- and gamma-catenin was fully abolished by caspase-3 and caspase-8 inhibitors, whereas cleavage of E-cadherin was inhibited by neither caspase nor metalloproteinase inhibitors. Functional analysis showed that the cleavage resulted in the disruption of the physical association between E-cadherin and catenins, indicating that E-cadherin signaling was compromised in UVB-irradiated HaCaT keratinocytes. Because E-cadherin in keratinocytes plays important roles in mediating cell-cell adhesion in epidermis of skin, the loss of E-cadherin and signaling components in keratinocytes may lead to the disruption of skin integrity af...Continue Reading
