Role of cadherin mediated signalling in development and stem cell differentiation, with emphasis on cadherin-11 (CDH11) (OB-cadherin). Abstract: Accumulating evidence suggests that mechanical and biochemical signals from cell-cell adhesion are critical to the specification of the lineage of stem cells. In this review, we focus on the role of cadherin mediated signalling in the development and differentiation of stem cells, focusing on two well-known cadherins, cadherin-2 (CDH2) (N-cadherin) and cadherin-11 (CDH11) (OB-cadherin). We summarize existing knowledge of the role of CDH2 and CDH11 during in vivo and in vitro development and differentiation. We also discuss engineering strategies for controlling stem cell fate decisions by using surface chemistry and micro topology to fine-tune the extent of cell adhesion. Novel strategies that enable monitoring of stem cell specification in real time can greatly facilitate these studies. We expect a better understanding of how intercellular adhesion signalling affects lineage specification may impact biomaterial and scaffold design to control stem cell fate decisions in a three-dimensional context with potential implications for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Introduction: Although soluble factors such as the transformation of growth factor β1 (TGF-β1), induce the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) towards the lineage of smooth muscle cells (SMC), the role of adherent junctions in this process is not well understood. In this study, we found that for MSC differentiation into SMCs, cadherin-11 but not cadherin-2 was needed. regulated TGF-β1 expression and affected SMC differentiation by a pathway dependent on TGF-β receptor II (TGFβRII) but independent of SMAD2 or SMAD3. Furthermore, through the Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) pathway, cadherin-11 activated serum response factor (SRF) and SMC protein expression. engagement increased its own expression through SRF, indicating the presence of an autoregulatory feedback loop committing MSCs to the fate of the SMC. Notably, cadherin-11-null (Cdh11(-/-)) SMC-containing tissues (such as aorta and bladder) mice showed significantly reduced SMC protein levels and decreased contractility compared to controls. This is the first report involving cadherin-11 in both in vitro and in vivo differentiation of SMC and contractile function.

The deterioration of mechanical properties (Youngs ' module and UTS) has been accompanied by reduced content of collagen and elastin in Cdh11(-/-) mouse tissues as well as in culture cells. Similarly, the abolition of CDH11 in human cells abolished collagen and elastin synthesis, thus reducing their ability to generate strength.

Role of cadherin mediated signaling in development and stem cell differentiation, with emphasis on cadherin-11 (CDH11) (OB-cadherin).
Abstract:
Accumulating evidence suggests that mechanical and biochemical signals from cell-cell adhesion are critical to the specification of the lineage of stem cells. As cadherin is known to be involved in cell growth, cellular differentiation and cell migration, this study will emphasize the specific cadherin functional activity during towards the differentiation of mesenchymal ste
m cells to smooth muscle cell. In this review, we focus on the role of cadherin mediated signaling in the development and differentiation of stem cells, focusing on two well-known cadherins, cadherin-2 (CDH2) (N-cadherin) and cadherin-11 (CDH11) (OB-cadherin). We summarize existing knowledge of the role of CDH2 and CDH11 during in vivo and in vitro development and differentiation. We also discuss engineering strategies for controlling stem cell fate decisions by using surface chemistry and micro topology to fine-tune the extent of cell adhesion. Novel strategies that enable monitoring of stem cell specification in real time can greatly facilitate these studies. We expect a better understanding of how intercellular adhesion signaling affects lineage specification may affect biomaterial and scaffold design to control stem cell fate decisions in a three-dimensional context with potential implications for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
Introduction:
Cadherins belong to the types of cell adhesion molecules (CAM) and help in cellular differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis by regulating intercellular adhesion. These cadherin are of different types according to their origin and functional sites. The cadherin molecules mediate the cellular adhesion in the presence of calcium molecules and the adhesion between cells is known as adherens junction (AJ). Studies suggests that cadherin are affected by the soluble growth factors and they activate biochemical pathways. Although soluble factors such as the transformation of growth factor β1 (TGF-β1), induce the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) towards the lineage of smooth muscle cells (SMC), the role of adherent junctions in this process is not well understood. In this study, we found that for MSC differentiation into SMCs, cadherin-11 but not cadherin-2 was needed. CDH11 is found in osteoblasts while CDH2 in neuronal cells. Their site of expression also suggest that CDH11 is involved in the smooth muscle cell formation. Regulated TGF-β1 expression and affected SMC differentiation by a pathway dependent on TGF-β receptor II (TGFβRII) but independent of SMAD2 or SMAD3. Furthermore, through the Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) pathway, cadherin-11 activated serum response factor (SRF) and SMC protein expression. Engagement increased its own expression through SRF, indicating the presence of an autoregulatory feedback loop committing MSCs to the fate of the SMC. Notably, cadherin-11-null (Cdh11 (-/-)) SMC-containing tissues (such as aorta and bladder) mice showed significantly reduced SMC protein levels and decreased contractility compared to controls. This is the first report involving cadherin-11 in both in vitro and in vivo differentiation of SMC and contractile function.
Method and Procedure:
Transformation was first done by adding the desired gene segment to the plasmid. The plasmid was then incubated along with the bacteria, which led to the transformation of plasmid DNA to the bacterial and expression of the required DNA fragments. The generation of pLx304—cdh11 -- EC2-EC5—GGGS—EGFP 2X FLAG which is the segment of CDH11, was done by digesting the expressed DNA. After transformation and digestion of the segment, the digested products were gel run for extraction using E.Z.N.A Gel extraction kit for isolation of DNA fragments. The digested products, which were eluted in pre-heat water, were then ligated using T4 Ligase. The transformation of the ligated segments was done by adding it to STBL3 E. coli strain used for the cloning of the DNA fragment. The sample and bacteria were incubated at required temperature, heat shocked and then inoculated on an LB agar plate to grow. A total number of 3 colonies were selected from the Agar media and the plasmid DNA was isolated using NucleoSpin mini kit by Macherey-Nagel. The isolated samples were eluted in water.
The extracted plasmid DNA segment was digested and ligated. EC2-1, EC3-1, EC5-1, ECTM-3 were sent for sequencing with primer MluI-EGFP-rev. The result showed positive clones with the MluI-EGFP-rev primer for all except TM-3. TM2 was again sent for sequencing which then showed positive result. 12 more clones were sequenced as E4-E5 did not have positive clone.
The procedure in detailed is provided below:
Transformation:
· Incubate the bacteria on ice for 30 min. – 6TBL3
· Incubate the Plasmids with bacteria on ice for another 30 min.
· Heat shock for 42 seconds at 42ºC.
· Let it sit on ice for 2 minutes.
· Add 200µL of S.O.C. medium and put it in the incubator shaker at 250 RPM, 37ºC for 1 hr.
· Then spread it on the agar plate.
