Published: November 2013

Cadherin EGF LAG seven-pass G-type receptors 1, 2, and 3 (Celsr1-3) form a family of three atypical cadherins with multiple functions in epithelia and in the nervous system. During the past decade, evidence has accumulated for important and distinct roles of Celsr1-3 in planar cell polarity (PCP) during the development of the brain and some other organs. Although Celsr function in PCP is conserved from flies to mammals, other functions may be more distantly related, with Celsr working only with one or a subset of the classical core PCP partners. Here, we review the literature on Celsr, focusing on PCP and particularly on brain development.

Background And Aims: Cadherins are adhesion proteins, and their dysregulation may result in the development of atherosclerosis, plaque rupture, or lesions of the vascular wall. The aim of the present study was to detect the associations of cadherins-P, -E, and -H, with atherosclerosis and pathological cardiovascular conditions.

Methods And Results: The present study with 3-year follow up evaluated atherosclerosis and fasting levels of P-, E-, and H-cadherins in the serum samples of 214 patients in a hospital setting.

FAT atypical cadherin 1 (), which encodes an atypical cadherin-coding protein, has a high mutation rate and is commonly regarded as a tumor suppressor gene in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Nonetheless, the potential regulatory mechanisms by which FAT1 influences the progression of HNSCC remain unresolved. In this context, we reported that FAT1 was downregulated in tumor tissues/cells compared with normal tissues/cells and that it was correlated with the clinicopathological features and prognosis of HNSCC.

The FAT atypical cadherin 1 (FAT1) gene is the ortholog of the fat gene and encodes the protocadherin FAT1. FAT1 belongs to the cadherin superfamily, a group of full-length membrane proteins that contain cadherin-like repeats. In various types of human cancer, FAT1 is one of the most commonly mutated genes, and is considered to be an emerging cancer biomarker and a potential target for novel therapies.

Acute myeloid leukemia is a cancer involving uncontrolled proliferation of hematopoietic cells. Cutaneous involvement is referred to as leukemia cutis (LC). The histopathologic presentation of LC is variable, and may present with perivascular, periadnexal, dermal, or subcutaneous infiltrate.

Objective: Both Autophagy and FAT atypical cadherin 1 (FAT1) regulates the chemosensitivity and immune escape of tumour cells. Our previous paper showed that FAT1 decreased acute myeloid leukemia (AML) autophagy by inhibiting the TGFβ-Smad2/3 pathway. This study builds upon our previous paper and aims to explore whether FAT1-inhibited autophagy is involved in regulating chemosensitivity and immune escape in AML.
