Abstract

Abnormal exposure of acid refluxate on the esophageal mucosa has been shown to decrease the epithelial barrier function through an alteration in the intercellular junctional complex. However, only few studies have examined the molecular effects caused by abnormal exposure of gastric refluxate on the laryngeal epithelium. E-cadherin and beta-catenin are cell membrane-associated proteins playing a major role in the maintenance of cell-cell adhesion in epithelial tissues. In this study we tried to analyse the molecular effect of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) on the cellular expression of these proteins. Therefore, we compared the expression of E-caherin and beta-catenin in laryngeal biopsies from patients with and without pH-documented laryngopharyngeal reflux. Paraffin-embedded archival laryngeal biopsies taken from 21 patients, who had undergone rigid laryngoscopy under general anaesthesia and postoperative 24-h pH monitoring, were evaluated immunohistochemically with antibodies to E-cadherin and beta-catenin. The membrane expression of the two proteins was categorized in no expression, mild, moderate and strong (grade 0-3). In LPR patients (n=14) the mean grade of E-cadherin and beta-catenin expression was 1.57 and 1.21, while...Continue Reading

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.
