Epidermal growth factor receptor inhibition promotes desmosome assembly and strengthens intercellular adhesion in squamous cell carcinoma cells.
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been proposed as a key modulator of cadherin-containing intercellular junctions, particularly in tumors that overexpress this tyrosine kinase. Here the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor PKI166 and EGFR blocking antibody C225, both of which are used clinically to treat head and neck cancers, were used to determine the effects of EGFR inhibition on int...
متن کامل14-3-3c-mediated transport of plakoglobin to the cell border is required for the initiation of desmosome assembly in vitro and in vivo
The regulation of cell–cell adhesion is important for the processes of tissue formation and morphogenesis. Here, we report that loss of 14-3-3c leads to a decrease in cell–cell adhesion and a defect in the transport of plakoglobin and other desmosomal proteins to the cell border in HCT116 cells and cells of the mouse testis. 14-3-3c binds to plakoglobin in a PKCm-dependent fashion, resulting in...

متن کاملBeyond cell-cell adhesion: Plakoglobin and the regulation of tumorigenesis and metastasis
Plakoglobin (also known as γ-catenin) is a member of the Armadillo family of proteins and a paralog of β-catenin. Plakoglobin is a component of both the adherens junctions and desmosomes, and therefore plays a vital role in the regulation of cell-cell adhesion. Similar to β-catenin, plakoglobin is capable of participating in cell signaling in addition to its role in cell-cell adhesion. In this ...
متن کاملCadherin Cytoplasmic Domains Inhibit the Cell Surface Localization of Endogenous E-Cadherin, Blocking Desmosome and Tight Junction Formation and Inducing Cell Dissociation
The downregulation of E-cadherin function has fundamental consequences with respect to cancer progression, and occurs as part of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). In this study, we show that the expression of the Discosoma sp. red fluorescent protein (DsRed)-tagged cadherin cytoplasmic domain in cells inhibited the cell surface localization of endogenous E-cadherin, leading to morpho...
