  • Cdh2 Coordinates Myosin-II Dependent Internalisation of the Zebrafish Neural Plate

W. Clarke7 Published online: 12 February 2019 Tissue internalisation is a key morphogenetic mechanism by which embryonic tissues generate complex internal organs and a number of studies of epithelia have outlined a general view of tissue internalisation. Here we have used quantitative live imaging and mutant analysis to determine whether similar mechanisms are responsible for internalisation in a tissue that apparently does not have a typical epithelial organisation – the zebrafsh neural plate. We found that although zebrafsh embryos begin neurulation without a conventional epithelium, medially located neural plate cells adopt strategies typical of epithelia in order to constrict their dorsal surface membrane during cell internalisation. Furthermore, we show that Myosin-II activity is a signifcant driver of this transient cell remodeling which also depends on Cdh2 (N-cadherin). Abrogation of Cdh2 results in defective Myosin-II distribution, mislocalised internalisation events and defective neural plate morphogenesis. Our work suggests Cdh2 coordinates Myosin-II dependent internalisation of the zebrafsh neural plate. Te internalisation of superfcial sheets of cells is a widely used developmental strategy to generate complex three-dimensional structures with well-defned shape and size. Trough this mechanism, animal tissues form a number of internal organs including the vertebrate central nervous system1,2. In recent years, live imaging studies and mutant analysis has begun to defne the cellular, molecular, and biomechanical mechanisms responsible for tissue internalisation in a growing number of tractable model systems3,4.

In the central and peripheral nervous systems, various proteins that contribute to the formation and stability of myelin are present, which also harbor pathophysiological roles in myelin disease. Many myelin proteins have common attributes, including small size, hydrophobic segments, multifunctionality, longevity, and regions of intrinsic disorder. With recent advances in protein biophysical characterization and bioinformatics, it has become evident that intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are abundant in myelin, and their flexible nature enables multifunctionality. Here, we review known myelin IDPs, their conservation, molecular characteristics and functions, and their disease relevance, along with open questions and speculations. We place emphasis on classifying the molecular details of IDPs in myelin, and we correlate these with their various functions, including susceptibility to post-translational modifications, function in protein–protein and protein–membrane interactions, as well as their role as extended entropic chains. We discuss how myelin pathology can relate to IDPs and which molecular factors are potentially involved. Keywords: myelin; intrinsically disordered protein; multiple sclerosis; peripheral neuropathies; myelination; protein folding; protein–membrane interaction; protein–protein interaction 1.

  • CDH1 Gene Cadherin 1
    CDH1 gene cadherin 1 Normal Function The CDH1 gene provides instructions for making a protein called epithelial cadherin or E-cadherin. This protein is found within the membrane that surrounds epithelial cells, which are the cells that line the surfaces and cavities of the body, such as the inside of the eyelids and mouth. E-cadherin belongs to a family of proteins called cadherins whose function is to help neighboring cells stick to one another (cell adhesion) to form organized tissues. Another protein called p120-catenin, produced from the CTNND1 gene, helps keep E-cadherin in its proper place in the cell membrane, preventing it from being taken into the cell through a process called endocytosis and broken down prematurely. E-cadherin is one of the best-understood cadherin proteins. In addition to its role in cell adhesion, E-cadherin is involved in transmitting chemical signals within cells, controlling cell maturation and movement, and regulating the activity of certain genes. Interactions between the E-cadherin and p120-catenin proteins, in particular, are thought to be important for normal development of the head and face (craniofacial development), including the eyelids and teeth. E-cadherin also acts as a tumor suppressor protein, which means it prevents cells from growing and dividing too rapidly or in an uncontrolled way. Health Conditions Related to Genetic Changes Breast cancer Inherited mutations in the CDH1 gene increase a woman's risk of developing a form of breast cancer that begins in the milk-producing glands (lobular breast cancer). In many cases, this increased risk occurs as part of an inherited cancer disorder called hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) (described below).

    Stem Cell Research (2015) 14, 270–282 Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect www.elsevier.com/locate/scr REVIEW CDH2 and CDH11 act as regulators of stem cell fate decisions Stella Alimperti a, Stelios T. Andreadis a,b,⁎ a Bioengineering Laboratory, Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, University at Buffalo, State University of New York, Amherst, NY 14260-4200, USA b Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics and Life Sciences, Buffalo, NY 14203, USA Received 18 September 2014; received in revised form 24 January 2015; accepted 10 February 2015 Abstract Accumulating evidence suggests that the mechanical and biochemical signals originating from cell–cell adhesion are critical for stem cell lineage specification. In this review, we focus on the role of cadherin mediated signaling in development and stem cell differentiation, with emphasis on two well-known cadherins, cadherin-2 (CDH2) (N-cadherin) and cadherin-11 (CDH11) (OB-cadherin). We summarize the existing knowledge regarding the role of CDH2 and CDH11 during development and differentiation in vivo and in vitro. We also discuss engineering strategies to control stem cell fate decisions by fine-tuning the extent of cell–cell adhesion through surface chemistry and microtopology. These studies may be greatly facilitated by novel strategies that enable monitoring of stem cell specification in real time. We expect that better understanding of how intercellular adhesion signaling affects lineage specification may impact biomaterial and scaffold design to control stem cell fate decisions in three-dimensional context with potential implications for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. © 2015 The Authors.

  • N-Cadherin in Human Bone Marrow 1569 Antigens Were Washed Several Times and Dissolved by Boiling in SDS- Cadherin in Methylcellulose-Containing Cultures
    RESEARCH ARTICLE 1567 N-cadherin is developmentally regulated and functionally involved in early hematopoietic cell differentiation Sabine Puch1, Sorin Armeanu1, Christine Kibler1, Keith R.

In the hematopoietic system, however, little is N-cadherin in the differentiation program of early known of the role of this cell adhesion family. By RT-PCR, hematopoietic progenitors. N-cadherin can also mediate western blot analysis and immunofluorescence staining we adhesive interactions within the bone marrow as show that N-cadherin, a classical type I cadherin mainly demonstrated by inhibition of homotypic interactions of expressed on neuronal, endothelial and muscle cells, is bone-marrow-derived cells with N-cadherin antibodies. expressed on the cell surface of resident bone marrow Together, these data strongly suggest that N-cadherin is stromal cells. FACS analysis of bone marrow mononuclear involved in the development and retention of early cells revealed that N-cadherin is also expressed on a hematopoietic progenitors within the bone marrow subpopulation of early hematopoietic progenitor cells.
