摘要
In the present study, expression of T-cadherin was shown to induce intracellular signaling in NIH3T3 fibroblasts: it activated Rac1 and Cdc42 (p < 0.01) but not RhoA. T-Cadherin overexpression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) using adenoviral constructs induced disassembly of microtubules and polymerization of actin stress fibers, whereas down-regulation of endogenous T-cadherin expression in HUVEC using lentiviral constructs resulted in micro-tubule polymerization and a decrease in the number of actin stress fibers. Moreover, suppression of the T-cadherin expression significantly decreased the endothelial monolayer permeability as compared to the control (p < 0.001).
