Кадгерины, класс молекул клеточной адгезии, опосредуют селективную адгезию между клетками и, таким образом, играют решающую роль в создании и поддержании тканевых структур.
Во время развития недифференцированные клетки экспрессируют специфические кадгерины на своей поверхности, поскольку они дифференцируются в различные типы тканей, такие как E-кадгерины на эпителиальных клетках и N-кадгерины на нейронах.
Поскольку кадгерины обычно связываются с другими кадгеринами того же типа, клетки могут избирательно прилипать друг к другу.
Кроме того, клетки, экспрессирующие более высокие уровни кадгерина, отделяются от клеток с более низкими уровнями.
Таким образом, как количественная, так и качественная специфичность кадгеринов помогает сортировать и организовывать клетки в ткани.
И наоборот, подавление экспрессии кадгерина приводит к потере клеточной адгезии.
Например, опухолевые клетки, которые перестают экспрессировать кадгерины, могут отделяться от соседних клеток и преодолевать тканевые ограничения.
Этот переход, называемый эпителиально-мезенхимальным переходом или ЭМП, является важным этапом в прогрессировании опухолевых клеток в злокачественные.

Кадерины в тканевой организации

Cadherins in Tissue Organization

Кадгерины представляют собой суперсемейство молекул клеточной адгезии, включающее более 180 вариантов, при этом определенные ткани экспрессируют определенную комбинацию типов кадгеринов. Кадгерины обычно демонстрируют гомофильное связывание; т. е. кадгерины на одной клетке связываются с кадгеринами того же или близкородственного типа на другой клетке. Таким образом, клетки одного типа обладают особым свойством связываться друг с другом и группироваться в кластеры, образуя ткани. Сортировка клеток во время разработки Сортировка клеток играет важную роль во время эмбриогенеза и развития, как показали ранние эксперименты с эмбрионами амфибий. Клетки молодых эмбрионов диссоциировали и им позволяли смешиваться. Когда этой смеси разрешили агрегироваться, похожие клетки группировались вместе, образуя структуры. Эти структуры напоминали эмбриональные слои, такие как мезодерма, эпидермис и нервная трубка. Экспрессия кадгерина меняется по мере дифференциации клеток во время развития, что позволяет формировать сложные структуры, такие как нервная трубка позвоночных. Когда нервная бороздка формируется из эктодермального слоя, клетки нервной пластинки меняют экспрессию своего кадгерина с E-кадгерина на N-кадгерин. Клетки на границе нервной пластинки также начинают экспрессировать другие кадгерины, такие как кадгерин 6B, таким образом соединяя два конца и облегчая отщемление нервной трубки. Кадгерины и злокачественные новообразования Кадгерин-опосредованная межклеточная адгезия является важным механизмом, поддерживающим тканевый гомеостаз в многоклеточных организмах. Однако, в раковых тканях эта клеточная адгезия нарушается. Многие эпителиальные опухолевые клетки частично или полностью перестают экспрессировать молекулы E-кадгерина, чему способствуют различные регуляторы транскрипции. Например, регулятор транскрипции Twist ингибирует экспрессию E-кадгерина, предотвращая тем самым прилипание опухолевых клеток к соседним клеткам. Эта трансформация называется эпителиально-мезенхимальным переходом (ЕМТ). Это характерная особенность прогрессирования злокачественного новообразования, которая позволяет опухолевым клеткам выходить и проникать в другие ткани. Экспериментальное блокирование Twist в клетках злокачественного рака молочной железы снижает их злокачественность. Напротив, нормальные эпителиальные клетки можно заставить подвергаться ЕМТ путем увеличения экспрессии Twist.

cadherins guide cell sorting in tissues

Cadherins help cells sort into the right tissues during development. They are a large superfamily of cell adhesion molecules, with more than 180 variants. Different tissues express specific cadherin combinations, which helps cells recognize and stick to the right neighbors.

Cadherins usually bind to the same or a closely related cadherin on another cell. This is called homophilic binding. Because of this matching behavior, cells of the same type tend to group together and form clusters that become tissues.

Cell sorting is important during embryogenesis and development. Early experiments with amphibian embryos showed this clearly. When young embryo cells were separated, mixed, and then allowed to come together again, similar cells clustered and formed structures like the mesoderm, epidermis, and neural tube.

Cadherin expression also changes as cells differentiate. During vertebrate neural tube formation, neural plate cells switch from E-cadherin to N-cadherin as the neural groove forms from the ectoderm. Cells at the neural plate border also begin expressing other cadherins, such as cadherin 6B. These changes help bring the two sides together and support pinching off of the neural tube.

Cadherin-mediated adhesion also helps maintain tissue homeostasis in multicellular organisms. In cancer, this adhesion can break down. Many epithelial tumor cells lose some or all E-cadherin expression, often with help from transcription regulators. One example is Twist, which blocks E-cadherin expression and reduces cell adhesion to neighboring cells.

Cell Adhesion Molecules in Tissues

Cell adhesion molecules help cells stick together and work as part of a tissue. They give multicellular organisms physical strength and also help cells send signals across the plasma membrane. These proteins are important for coordinated activity in tissues and organ systems. CAMs are grouped into four main families: integrins, cadherins, selectins, and immunoglobulin-like CAMs, or IgCAMs. Each family supports cell interactions in a different way. Some CAMs help cells attach firmly, while...

Cadherins in Cell Junctions and Disease

Cadherins are cell adhesion proteins that help cells stick together and build tissues. Their name comes from their calcium-dependent binding. Early examples were named E-cadherin, P-cadherin, and N-cadherin after the epithelial, placental, and neuronal cells where they were first found. Classical cadherins share similar sequences and structures. Other cadherins, including those involved in cell signaling, are grouped as non-classical cadherins. This diversity comes from multiple cadherin genes...

catenins

Catenins in Cell Junctions and Signaling

Catenins help cells stay connected and also support signaling inside the body. These proteins act as linker proteins in cell junction complexes because they have multiple binding domains and flexible structures. Most catenins contain a protein sequence called the armadillo repeat, so they are also known as armadillo proteins. Alpha-catenin is the main exception. Catenins bind to cell adhesion molecules such as cadherins. They then connect cadherins to cytoskeletal proteins, and the exact link...

selectins

Selectins in Immune Cell Capture

Selectins help cells make short, temporary contacts during immune responses. They are cell adhesion molecules that bind carbohydrate ligands on other cells. These rod-like proteins have a long outside region and end in a lectin domain, which binds carbohydrates only when calcium ions are present. Three main selectins are known: L-selectin, P-selectin, and E-selectin. Their names reflect where they are found and how long they are. This tissue specificity helps explain why selectins act in...

Ig-CAMs in Neural Growth and Disease

Ig-CAMs, or immunoglobulin-like cell adhesion molecules, are cell surface glycoproteins in the immunoglobulin superfamily. They contain immunoglobulin domains, and some also have fibronectin type III domains. Their Ig domains can be glycosylated to different degrees. These molecules can bind to the same kind of Ig-CAM or to other ligands, such as integrins. Most Ig-CAMs help cells stick together only for a short time. The nectin class is different because it helps form stable junctions,...

overview of cell-cell junctions

Cell Junctions in Tissues

Cell junctions help hold tissues together and let neighboring cells communicate. In multicellular organisms, the three-dimensional shape of tissues depends on interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix. Cell-cell junctions are specialized structures made of multi-protein complexes on one cell that connect with similar complexes on another cell. These junctions are grouped into three main types based on function: occluding, anchoring, and gap junctions. Tight junctions, also called...

adherens junctions

Cell Adhesion in Tissues and Infection

Adherens junctions are strong cell-to-cell anchors that help tissues stay connected. These anchoring junctions work with desmosomes, another type of junction that holds adjacent cells together. In many epithelial and endothelial tissues, adherens junctions form a continuous adhesion belt. In heart muscle, they often appear as clusters that help cells work together for coordinated contraction. Adherens junctions are also dynamic, especially in the cells that line blood vessels. These...

tension response at adherens junctions

How Adherens Junctions Sense Force

Adherens junctions help cells stay attached while they respond to mechanical force. These multi-protein complexes can adapt to tensile force and shear stress. When the force changes, mechanosensory proteins in the junction can change shape. This process is called mechanotransduction. Alpha-catenin is one of the main force-sensing proteins in adherens junctions. It is an allosteric protein, which means its shape affects how it works. Alpha-catenin has three VH, or vinculin homology, domains...

desmosomes

Desmosomes and Cell Anchoring

Desmosomes are cell junctions that anchor cells together. They are button-like structures that create an interlinked network of intermediate filaments across cells. This strong link helps tissues resist mechanical stress and maintain tissue integrity. Desmosomes are built from multiple proteins. Their core includes desmosomal cadherins, which are adhesion proteins that bind to cadherins on neighboring cells. The two desmosomal cadherins are desmogleins and desmocollins. These transmembrane...

tight junctions

Tight Junction Proteins and Cell Barriers

Tight junction proteins form seals between neighboring cells. These molecular barriers help stop fluids, ions, and other small solutes from leaking across body cavities and tissue compartments in multicellular organisms. They are an important part of cell barriers in places where controlled movement matters. The main tight junction proteins are claudin and occludin. Other proteins include tricellulin and JAM, which stands for junctional adhesion molecule. Most of these proteins are 4-pass...

gap junctions

Cell Communication Through Gap Junctions

Gap junctions let adjacent animal cells share small molecules, ions, and secondary messengers. These communication channels connect the cytoplasm of neighboring cells. They are built from many molecular channels, often from a few hundred to thousands in one junction. Each channel is made of two halves called connexon hemichannels. A connexon is a hexamer, meaning it is formed by six transmembrane connexin proteins. The six proteins arrange in a ring and create a pore in the center. One...
