Supplementary information

CD146 also known as MCAM or MUC18 is a cell adhesion molecule that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. With a mass of approximately 113 kDa CD146 is expressed mainly on the surface of endothelial cells but it can also be found on smooth muscle cells some T-cells and in certain cancerous tissues. This protein plays a role in cell-cell adhesion contributing to the integrity and signaling functions within tissue microenvironments.
Biological function summary

CD146 influences the migration and organization of cells within the vascular system. It serves as a component of cell adhesion complexes facilitating interactions between endothelial cells and other cell types. Additionally CD146 contributes to angiogenesis the process by which new blood vessels form from existing vasculature which is critical during tissue development and repair. This function makes it an important element in maintaining normal physiological processes.

Pathways

CD146 participates in the Wnt/β-catenin and MAPK signaling pathways which are vital in cell proliferation and differentiation. Through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway CD146 interacts with other proteins like Frizzled receptors to regulate gene transcription. In the MAPK pathway it is linked with signaling cascades that involve proteins such as ERK leading to cellular responses necessary for growth and response to external stimuli.

CD146 has been implicated in melanoma progression and cardiovascular diseases. Its overexpression in melanoma associates it with increased tumor growth and metastasis often involving interactions with other adhesion molecules like integrins. In cardiovascular diseases CD146 relates to atherosclerosis as its expression on endothelial cells can promote inflammatory responses. Understanding these connections provides insights into potential therapeutic targets for treating these conditions.

Target data

Plays a role in cell adhesion, and in cohesion of the endothelial monolayer at intercellular junctions in vascular tissue. Its expression may allow melanoma cells to interact with cellular elements of the vascular system, thereby enhancing hematogeneous tumor spread. Could be an adhesion molecule active in neural crest cells during embryonic development. Acts as a surface receptor that triggers tyrosine phosphorylation of FYN and PTK2/FAK1, and a transient increase in the intracellular calcium concentration.
