Cell Junctions, Cell Adhesion, and the Extracellular Matrix Cell adhesion The c-adherins
Why is cell-cell adhesion so important to understand? • Migrating cells must reach, recognize, bind and stay with their target cells, tissues and organs! • Important implications in embryogenesis, cancer, infection, transplantation potentials (stem cells) and disease! • Tissue Development in the Embryo/Adult: • Epithelial cell to basal lamina: post burn skin • Neural crest cell in embryo: amputee nervous system • Endothelium and blood vessels: cancer • Pathway Guidance to Lead Cells Home: • Chemotaxis vs. Chemo-avoidance: • Ligands/Receptors/Second Messengers
Two main ways in which animal cells are bound together: • Connective tissue • Epithelial cells. Figure 19 -1 Molecular Biology of the Cell (© Garland Science 2008)

There a variety of options available to cells when they seek to bind to other cells or know if they are in the correct location. Lets review some of the options available. Know one item that makes each unique. N-CAMS: Ca+Independent • Bind to other N-CAMS Cadherins: Ca-Dependent • Bind to other cadherins Selectins: don’t bind each other. Specialized to bind target glycoproteins Intergrins: bind laminin of the basal lamina or fibronectin in the ECM or to other cells.

Cadherins are a class of Ca++Dependent cell-cell adhesion molecules which are important in embryogenesis. Their loss permits cells to migrate within the chick embryo to become muscle. Dimer anchored by tx-membrane sequences Localization of sub-types: E-epithelial N-neuronal P-placental VEendothelial For instance: N-cadherin binds to other Ncadherins, but not to E, P or VE-cadherins This keeps neurons attached to other neurons! Important to vertebrates and invertebrate animals Classic extracellular Cadherin binds to actin on intracellular side. Non-Classic binds tonofilament on inside: for extra strength If potential neurons don’t lose N-cadherins, they can’t

Ca binds in the hinge regions between cadherin domains, and prevent the flexing. Without Ca the molecule is floppy and adhesion fails Figure 19 -9 b Molecular Biology of the Cell (© Garland Science 2008)
Many cadherin molecules are in a junction, functioning like a Velcro. Figure 19 -9 c Molecular Biology of the Cell (© Garland Science 2008)

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition • In mesenchymal cells the adhesion molecules are switched off. • The transition is regulated by gene regulatory components named Slug, Snal and Twist. They affect E-cadherin expression • Twist suppresses E-cadherin. It is involved in malignant transformation.

Cell-cell junctions signalling • The level of p 120 -catenin regulates cell junctions • Beta-catenin is involved in the wntsignalling • Flamingo may act as a G-proteincoupled receptor • VE-cadherin is essential for response to VEGF
selectins • Cadherins, integrins, selectins and Igmembers mediate cell adhesion • Cadherins, integrins and selectins are Cadependent, Ig-members are not. • Selectins mediate cell-cell adhesion in the bloodstream • They bind carbohydrates (lectins)

Selectins
Selectins Type I transmembrane proteins containing CTLD, EGF and 2– 9 complement control protein (CCP) domains. Cell adhesion. Involved in the first step (initial attachment (tethering) and subsequent movement (rolling)) of leukocyte recruitment from the blood stream into sites of inflammation and lymphatic tissues. CTLDs bind the carbohydrate sialyl Lewis. X (SLe. X) with low affinity; different high-affinity glycoprotein ligands also identified. Binding occurs via an extended site on the CTLD; in addition to fucose binding at the primary site, electrostatic and hydrogen–bond interactions are formed with other monosaccharide moieties of SLe.
