Function

Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins (PubMed:11976333). They preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner in connecting cells; cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types. CDH1 is involved in mechanisms regulating cell-cell adhesions, mobility and proliferation of epithelial cells (PubMed:11976333). Has a potent invasive suppressor role. It is a ligand for integrin alpha-E/beta-7.E-Cad/CTF2 promotes non-amyloidogenic degradation of Abeta precursors. Has a strong inhibitory effect on APP C99 and C83 production.(Microbial infection) Serves as a receptor for Listeria monocytogenes; internalin A (InlA) binds to this protein and promotes uptake of the bacteria.

Specificity

E-cadherin contains a number of cleavage sites which may yield a complex fragmentation pattern in WB. Multiple bands between ~80-120 kDa may be observed. This antibody has been tested on human samples in both WB and IHC. Customer feedback (see Abreview) suggests the antibody does not perform well in IHC on mouse tissue.

Activity summary

E-Cadherin sometimes called CDH1 or Cadherin-1 is a protein that plays a role in cell-to-cell adhesion. This transmembrane protein has a molecular weight of approximately 120 kDa. E-Cadherin is mainly expressed in epithelial tissues of various organs including the skin and gut. Its adhesive function is made possible by its extracellular domain that facilitates homophilic binding between cells contributing to the maintenance of tissue architecture and cellular integrity.

Biological function summary

E-Cadherin participates in establishing and maintaining adherens junctions which are vital for tissue structure. E-Cadherin operates as a core component of the cadherin-catenin complex which links the protein to the actin cytoskeleton. Through this linkage E-Cadherin plays an important role in signaling pathways that influence cellular growth and differentiation. The protein's ability to mediate intercellular connections also regulates cellular motility and supports basic aspects of cell behavior in epithelial tissues.

Pathways

E-Cadherin influences both the Wnt signaling pathway and the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Within the Wnt signaling pathway E-Cadherin partners with β-catenin a significant player in transcription regulation and cell signaling. Disruption in E-Cadherin's adhesive functionality can lead to increased β-catenin availability affecting downstream transcriptional control. In the EMT process E-Cadherin loss characterizes an important step in which cells gain migratory and invasive properties typically seen during metastasis in cancer progression.

Associated diseases and disorders

E-Cadherin's role is prominent in cancer particularly in the context of gastric and breast cancers. Mutations or altered expression of E-Cadherin lead to diminished cell adhesion promoting tumorigenesis and metastatic spread. In gastric cancer for instance mutated E-Cadherin often associates with loss of epithelial function facilitating cancer cell dissemination. Additionally its loss or dysfunction may correlate with proteins such as β-catenin further impacting cancer progression and pathology.

    PMA induced cell fusion, DYSF expression, and activation of PKC in BeWo cells while 4αPMA was inactive

    Immunofluorescence analysis of BeWo cells treated with 0.25% DMSO (controls), 10 nM PMA, or 10 nM 4αPMA for 72 h. The cells were then fixed and subsequently double-labeled for detection of DYSF (red) and E-cadherin (green). Nuclei were labeled with DAPI. While there can be a low level of spontaneous fusion in control cells (in our hands this ranges from about 4 to 9%), most cells are not fused and have at their borders intact E-cadherin labeling. Moreover, DYSF labeling was not detectable in non-fused BeWo cells. However, treatment of BeWo cells with 10 nM PMA for 72 h led to increased levels of cell fusion as indicated by the breakdown of E-cadherin labeling and the expression of DYSF in fused cells. When BeWo cells were treated with 10 nM 4αPMA for 72 h there was no detectable increase in cell fusion or DYSF expression. Arrows indicate areas enlarged and placed in insets. Bar = 50 μm.

    Western blot - Anti-E Cadherin antibody [EP700Y] - Intercellular Junction Marker (ab40772)

    False colour image of Western blot: Anti-E Cadherin antibody [EP700Y] - Intercellular Junction Marker staining at 1/10000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab40772 was shown to bind specifically to E Cadherin. A band was observed at 105/130 kDa in wild-type Raji cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in CDH1 knockout cell line Human CDH1 (E Cadherin) knockout A-431 cell line ab273747 (knockout cell lysate ab273781). To generate this image, wild-type and CDH1 knockout Raji cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.

    Immunofluorescence staining of E-Cadherin using ab40772 in wild-type A431 cells (top panel) and CDH1 knockout A431 cells (bottom panel). The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton-X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated with ab40772 at 1 µg/mL and Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Loading Control ab7291 at 1 µg/mL overnight at +4°C, followed by a further incubation at room temperature for 1h with Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed (Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed ab150081) (shown in green) and Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) preadsorbed (Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) preadsorbed ab150120) (shown in red), both at 1/1000. Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

    Image was acquired with a high-content analyser (Operetta CLS, Perkin Elmer) and a confocal section is shown.

    Multiplex immunohistochemistry - Anti-E Cadherin antibody [EP700Y] - Intercellular Junction Marker (ab40772)

    Fluorescence multiplex immunohistochemical analysis of the human endometrium (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections).

    Panel A: merged staining of anti-E Cadherin (Anti-E Cadherin antibody [EP700Y] - BSA and Azide free ab256580, red; Opal™690), anti-SLC34A2 (Anti-SLC34A2 antibody [SP322] - BSA and Azide free ab238793, green; Opal™520) and anti-CD10 (Anti-CD10 antibody [EPR22865-73] ab255609, cyan; Opal™570) on human endometrium. Panel B: anti-CD10 stained on stromal cells. Panel C: anti-E Cadherin stained on glandular cells. Panel D: anti-SLC34A2 stained on apical membrane of glandular cells. Opal Polymer HRP Ms + Rb was used as a secondary antibody.

    The section was incubated in three rounds of staining: in the order of Anti-E Cadherin antibody [EP700Y] - BSA and Azide free ab256580 at 1/3000 dilution  (0.324 μg/ml) for 30mins, Anti-SLC34A2 antibody [SP322] - BSA and Azide free ab238793 at 1/1000 dilution (2.26 μg/ml) for 10mins and Anti-CD10 antibody [EPR22865-73] ab255609 at 1/1000 dilution (0.615 μg/ml) for 30 mins at room temperature. Each round was followed by a separate fluorescent tyramide signal amplification system.

    The immunostaining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument with an Opal™ 4-color kit. Image acquisition was performed with Leica SP8 confocal microscope.

    Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0, epitope retrieval solution2) for 20 mins. DAPI (blue) was used as a nuclear counter stain.

    This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation (Anti-E Cadherin antibody [EP700Y] - BSA and Azide free ab256580).
