The role of cadherin/catenin complex in malignant melanoma
In the present review article the role of cadherin/catenin complex in cases of malignant melanoma is discussed in some detail. Cadherins represent the most important superfamily of adhesion molecules with epithelial E-cadherin being the most studied. Its role in normal state as well as in cancer inv...

irk-123456789-1379212018-06-18T03:04:52Z The role of cadherin/catenin complex in malignant melanoma Bonitsis, N. Batistatou, A. Karantima, S. Charalabopoulos, K. In the present review article the role of cadherin/catenin complex in cases of malignant melanoma is discussed in some detail. Cadherins represent the most important superfamily of adhesion molecules with epithelial E-cadherin being the most studied. Its role in normal state as well as in cancer invasion and metastasis and some other pathologies is crucial. E-cadherin expression is altered in malignant melanomas and its downregulation or absence is associated with melanoma invasion and metastasis potential. A shift from E-cadherin expression to neural N-cadherin expression in melanocytes is also detected in malignant melanomas formation. In addition, a discussion regarding the role of placental P-cadherin and vascular endothelial VE-cadherin as well as the recently identified molecule of dysadherin, is attempted in brief. В обзоре обсуждается роль кадгерин/катенинового комплекса при злокачественной меланоме. Кадгерины представляют собой суперсемейство адгезивных молекул, среди которых наиболее изучен эпителиальный кадгерин (E-кадгерин), выполняющий ключевую роль в норме и при инвазивном опухолевом росте и метастазировании. В ткани злокачественных меланом уровень экспрессии E-кадгерина изменен, его снижение или отсутствие связано с инвазивным ростом и метастазированием опухоли. При образовании злокачественных меланом в меланоцитах отмечают замену экспрессии E-кадерина на таковую неврального кадгерина (N-кадгерина). Кроме того, коротко обсуждается роль плацентарного кадгерина (P-кадгерина), эндотелиального кадгерина сосудов (VE-кадерина) и недавно идентифицированного дисадгерина. 2006 Article The role of cadherin/catenin complex in malignant melanoma / N.
