Cadherin function: Breaking the barrier
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three desmoglein isoforms collaborate with desmocollins to build the adhesive core of desmosomes. A recent study has shown that altering the ratio of desmoglein isoforms influences epidermal barrier function, suggesting distinct roles for these cadherins that extend beyond adhesion.

Kruppel-like factor-4 transcriptionally regulates VE-cadherin expression and endothelial barrier function.
RATIONALE Vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin localized at adherens junctions (AJs) regulates endothelial barrier function. Because WNT (wingless) signaling-induced activation of the transcription factor Krüppel-like factor (KLF)4 may have an important role in mediating the expression of VE-cadherin and AJ integrity, we studied the function of KLF4 in regulating VE-cadherin expression and the co...
متن کاملP 150: The Role of Blood Brain Barrier Restoration in the Multiple Sclerosis
Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) is a specialized non fenestrate barrier that formation by the endothelial cells and controls the transportation of the cells and molecules in to the brain. Reducing in function of BBB is one of disruptions in neurological diseases like multiple sclerosis. Endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) help to the BBB to control the diapedesis of inflammatory cells & molecules in to...
متن کاملUnraveling the mechanisms involved in endothelial barrier protective effects of angiopoietin-1 variant MAT.Ang-1
eri and colleagues [1], demonstrating that angiopoietin (Ang)-1 variant MAT.Ang-1 improved endotoxemiainduced microvascular dysfunction and microvascular hyperpermeability. Th e authors suggested that MAT. Ang-1-induced recovery of microcirculatory tissue perfusion during sepsis is due to preservation of endothelial barrier integrity. To further elucidate the mechanism, they investigated the po...

In this paper, we study particle aspects of the φ6 kinks in an external potential. The external potential is implemented by breaking the translational invariance of the system. The dynamics of the kink is calculated for the simple harmonic oscillator (SHO) and barrier potentials. The periodic motion of the kink in the SHO case is compared to the corresponding ordinary (classical) motion. It i...
متن کاملBreaking the VE-cadherin bonds.
Exchanges between the blood compartment and the surrounding tissues require a tight regulation by the endothelial barrier. Recent reports inferred that VE-cadherin, an endothelial specific cell-cell adhesion molecule, plays a pivotal role in the formation, maturation and remodeling of the vascular wall. Indeed, a growing number of permeability inducing factors (PIFs) was shown to elicit signali...
