N-cadherin-catenin interaction: necessary component of cardiac cell compartmentalization during early vertebrate heart development

Abstract

During early heart development the expression pattern of N-cadherin, a calcium-dependent cell adhesion molecule, suggests its involvement in morphoregulation and the stabilization of cardiomyocyte differentiation. N-cadherin's adhesive activity is dependent upon its interaction with the intracellular catenins. An association with alpha-catenin and beta-catenin also is believed to be involved in cell signaling. This study details the expression patterns of alpha-catenin, beta-catenin, and gamma-catenin, during definition of the cardiac cell population as distinct compartments in the anterior regions of the chick embryo between stages 5 and 9. The restriction of N-cadherin/catenin localization at stage 5+ from a uniform pattern in vivo, to specific cell clusters that demarcate areas where mesoderm separation is initiated, suggests that the N-cadherin/catenin complex is involved in boundary formation and in the subsequent cell sorting. The latter two processes lead to the specification and formation of the somatic and cardiac splanchnic mesoderm. N-cadherin colocalized with alpha- and beta-catenin at the cell membrane before and during the time that its expression becomes restricted to the lateral mesoderm and continues cephalocau...Continue Reading

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
