Current Opinion in Hematology

Abstract

The control of the endothelial barrier function is essential for vascular homeostasis and is mainly mediated by cell-to-cell junctions that tightly regulate permeability to plasma solutes and circulating cells such as leukocytes and tumor cells. While in some circumstances the transient dismantling of endothelial cell junctions might be beneficial, in pathological conditions, such as cancer, severe alterations of endothelial junction composition and function are detrimental, causing massive edema and increased interstitial pressure. Here, we aim to discuss the newly and most recently identified molecular mechanisms that cooperate in the control of vascular permeability. Although the involvement of vascular endothelial-cadherin in the regulation of vascular leakage is well known, recent findings shed light on additional molecules involved in the control of vascular endothelial-cadherin phosphorylation in physiological and pathological conditions, and identified new unknown regulators of the endothelial barrier function. In the past years, several studies explored the contribution of various signaling pathways in the regulation of vascular leakage. Despite encouraging results, a more comprehensive understanding of the molecular m...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.

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.

Breast Cancer: BRCA1 & BRCA2

Mutations involving BRCA1, found on chromosome 17, and BRCA2, found on chromosome 13, increase the risk for specific cancers, such as breast cancer. Discover the last research on breast cancer BRCA1 and BRCA2 here.

Arterial-Venous in Development & Disease

Arterial-venous development may play a crucial role in cardiovascular diseases. Here is the latest research.

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.
