CDH23 (Cadherin Related 23)

All patients with follow-up data were alive without evidence of disease progression. Our findings expand the clinical, histologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular spectrum of ELOC-mutated RCC and further support its classification as a distinct renal neoplasm.

This pro-metastatic effect is mediated through the RNF145-driven ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of protocadherin 9 (PCDH9). Our findings confirm the significant upregulation of RNF145 in HCC and promote metastasis by facilitating PCDH9 ubiquitination and degradation, highlighting its role as a prognostic biomarker and a potential therapeutic target.

PCDH10 restoration antagonizes tumorigenesis by dual blockade of Wnt/β-catenin and Akt signaling pathways through interactions with GSK-3β, β-catenin, and LMNA, as a scaffold protein. Our findings reveal a novel PCDH10-dependent tumor-suppressive axis and highlight its potential as a therapeutic target and biomarker in breast cancer.

We propose that by default the core complex promotes growth and that Dachsous and Fat, which previously have been thought to act antagonistically, can also function synergistically to repress core complex function and therefore restrict growth. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying Dachsous-Fat signaling offers insight into how multicellular organisms precisely control organ size.

JAK1 and JAK2 inhibition worsens cochlear damage in mice exposed to aminoglycosides.

Results The target proteins ROBO4 and PCDH12 were screened out through proteomics.Bioinformatics analysis showed that ROBO4 and PCDH12 were highly expressed in CRC patients.Further correlation analysis revealed a positive correlation between ROBO4 and PCDH12 in CRC(R=0.870,P<0.001).The ELISA results of clinical samples showed that compared with the normal group and polyp group,the cancer group presented elevated expression levels of ROBO4 and PCDH12(all P<0.001).There was no statistically significant difference in the expression level of ROBO4 or PCDH12 between the normal group and the polyp group(P=0.586,P=0.550).The ROC curves showed that the diagnostic efficacy of ROBO4,PCDH12,and ROBO4+PCDH12 was 0.787,0.757,and 0.812,respectively,all of which were higher than the diagnostic efficacy of CEA and CA199.Further analysis of serum levels of ROBO4 and PCDH12 with the pathological data of CRC showed that the serum level of ROBO4 was correlated with differentiation degree(P=0.013),pathological stage(P=0.002),lymph node metastasis(P=0.001),and distant metastasis(P=0.026).The serum level of PCDH12 was correlated with differentiation degree(P=0.043),pathological stage(P=0.012),and lymph node metastasis(P=0.001).The ROC curves showed that the diagnostic efficacy of ROBO4,PCDH12,and ROBO4+PCDH12 was 0.637,0.758,and 0.787 for early CRC and 0.872,0.757,and 0.882 for progressive CRC,respectively. Conclusions The serum levels of ROBO4 and PCDH12 demonstrate high diagnostic efficacy for CRC patients and are correlated with the pathological features of CRC.The two proteins are expected to be novel serum biomarkers for the diagnosis and screening of CRC.

Conversely, PCDH7 depletion restored ZEB1 ubiquitination and degradation, upregulated E-cadherin, reversed EMT, and re-sensitized cells to cisplatin-induced cell death. Our findings identify the PCDH7-ZEB1 axis as a key driver of EMT and chemoresistance in LUAD, highlighting it as a promising therapeutic target for overcoming cisplatin resistance and suppressing tumor metastatic progression.

While SENP7 can indirectly affect DNA methylation through the deSUMOylation of the chromatin repressor KAP1, UTF1 and VENTX are two genes involved in embryonic development not previously implicated in epigenetic regulation. Our findings shed new light on the processes involved in cPCDH methylation that may underlie associations with neurological disease.

Reprimo is the first example of an extracellular ligand that induces cell death by modulating YAP activity and is a unique upstream regulator of Hippo signaling. This review summarizes current knowledge of the tumor-suppressive mechanisms of Reprimo, with an emphasis on its unique extracellular function and discusses potential future research directions and clinical applications in cancer therapy.

Its potential for clinical translation is evident in several areas, including the use of methylation as a prognostic marker, β-eucalyptol-mediated therapy to restore PCDH9, and strategies that target the piRNA-PI3K/AKT axis. Looking ahead, it is essential to conduct in-depth analyses of its evolutionary adaptability and formulate strategies targeting the adherent-signal interface.

This initial characterization of Pcdh7 null mice suggests that, despite its widespread expression in the CNS and involvement in human epilepsy, PCDH7 is not essential for murine brain development and thus is not a suitable animal model for understanding PCDH7 disruption in humans. However, further detailed analysis of this mouse model may reveal circuit or synaptic abnormalities in Pcdh7 null brains.
