Abstract

In palatogenesis, bilateral palatal shelves grow and fuse with each other to establish mesenchyme continuity across the horizontal palate. The palatal shelves are covered with the medial edge epithelium (MEE) in which most apical cells are periderm cells. We investigated localization and roles of tight junction (TJ) and adherens junction (AJ) components and an apical membrane marker in the MEE in palatogenesis. Immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy analyses revealed that TJs were located at the boundary between neighboring periderm cells, whereas AJ components were localized at the boundary between all epithelial cells in the MEE. Specifically, typical AJs were observed at the boundaries between neighboring periderm cells and between periderm cells and underlying epithelial cells where the signal for nectin-1 was observed. The TGF-β-induced desquamation of periderm cells reduced the polarity of remaining epithelial cells as estimated by changes of epithelial cell morphology and the staining of the polarity marker and the AJ components. These less polarized epithelial cells then intermingled and finally disappeared at least partly by apoptosis. These results indicate that periderm cells covering growing palatal shelve...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Barrett Esophagus

Barrett’s esophagus if a serious complication of gastroesophageal reflux disease during which the normal esophageal lining changes to tissue that resembles intestinal lining. Here is the latest research.

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.
