چکیده

The impact of xenobiotics on intercellular adhesion, a fundamental biological process regulating most, if not all, cellular pathways, has been sparsely investigated. Cell-cell adhesion is regulated in the epithelium primarily by the E-cadherin/catenin complex. To characterize the impact of oxidative stress on the E-cadherin/catenin complex, precision-cut mouse liver slices were challenged with two model compounds for the generation of oxidative stress, diamide (DA; 25-250 microM) or t-butylhydroperoxide (tBHP; 5-50 microM), for 6 h. At the concentrations used, neither compound elicited cytotoxicity, as assessed by intracellular K+ content and leakage of lactate dehydrogenase into the culture media. However, a 25% reduction in non-protein sulfhydryl levels, an indication of oxidative perturbation, was seen in liver slices treated with DA or tBHP. Total protein expression of E-cadherin, beta-, or alpha-catenin was not affected by challenge with DA or tBHP. A decrease of beta-catenin in the SDS-soluble fraction of slices, an indicator of the formation of the adhesion complex, was observed. Additionally, a decrease in beta-catenin interactions with E-cadherin and alpha-catenin, as assessed by immunoprecipitation and Western blot analysis, was seen. Disruption of the E-cadherin/catenin complex by tBHP, but not DA, correlated with enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation of beta-catenin. These results suggest that noncytotoxic oxidative stress disrupts the E-cadherin/catenin cell adhesion complex in precision-cut mouse liver slices.

TGFbeta-induced downregulation of E-cadherin-based cell-cell adhesion depends on PI3-kinase and PTEN.

Transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) has profound growth-suppressive effects on normal epithelial cells, but supports metastasis formation in many tumour types. In most epithelial tumour cells TGFbeta(1) treatment results in epithelial dedifferentiation with reduced cell aggregation and enhanced cellular migration. Here we show that the epithelial dedifferentiation, accompanied by dissocia...

Tyrosine phosphorylation and dissociation of occludin-ZO-1 and E-cadherin-beta-catenin complexes from the cytoskeleton by oxidative stress.

The oxidative-stress-induced alteration in paracellular junctional complexes was analysed in Caco-2 cell monolayer. Oxidative stress induced a rapid increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of occludin, zonula occludens (ZO)-1, E-cadherin and beta-catenin. An oxidative-stress-induced decrease in transepithelial electrical resistance was associated with a redistribution of occludin-ZO-1 and E-cadher...

α-Catenin Localization and Sarcomere Self-Organization on N-Cadherin Adhesive Patterns Are Myocyte Contractility Driven

The N-cadherin (N-cad) complex plays a crucial role in cardiac cell structure and function. Cadherins are adhesion proteins linking adjacent cardiac cells and, like integrin adhesions, are sensitive to force transmission. Forces through these adhesions are capable of eliciting structural and functional changes in myocytes. Compared to integrins, the mechanisms of force transduction through cadh...

Involvement of ZO-1 in Cadherin-based Cell Adhesion through Its Direct Binding to α Catenin and Actin Filaments

ZO-1, a 220-kD peripheral membrane protein consisting of an amino-terminal half discs large (dlg)-like domain and a carboxyl-terminal half domain, is concentrated at the cadherin-based cell adhesion sites in non-epithelial cells. We introduced cDNAs encoding the full-length ZO-1, its amino-terminal half (N-ZO-1), and carboxyl-terminal half (C-ZO-1) into mouse L fibroblasts expressing exogenous ...

alpha-E-catenin inactivation disrupts the cardiomyocyte adherens junction, resulting in cardiomyopathy and susceptibility to wall rupture.

BACKGROUND alpha-E-catenin is a cell adhesion protein, located within the adherens junction, thought to be essential in directly linking the cadherin-based adhesion complex to the actin cytoskeleton. Although alpha-E-catenin is expressed in the adherens junction of the cardiomyocyte intercalated disc, and perturbations in its expression are observed in models of dilated cardiomyopathy, its role...
