Abstract
Desmoglein-2 (DSG2) is a calcium-binding single pass transmembrane glycoprotein and a member of the large cadherin family. Until recently, DSG2 was thought to only function as a cell adhesion protein embedded within desmosome junctions designed to enable cells to better tolerate mechanical stress. However, additional roles for DSG2 outside of desmosomes are continuing to emerge, particularly in cancer. Herein, we review the current literature on DSG2 in cancer and detail its impact on biological functions such as cell adhesion, proliferation, migration, invasion, intracellular signaling, extracellular vesicle release and vasculogenic mimicry. An increased understanding of the diverse repertoire of the biological functions of DSG2 holds promise to exploit this cell surface protein as a potential prognostic biomarker and/or target for better patient outcomes. This review explores the canonical and non-canonical functions of DSG2, as well as the context-dependent impacts of DSG2 in the realm of cancer.

Abstract
The cadherin superfamily comprises a large, diverse collection of cell surface receptors that are expressed in the nervous system throughout development and have been shown to be essential for the proper assembly of the vertebrate nervous system. As our knowledge of each family member has grown, it has become increasingly clear that the functions of various cadherin subfamilies are intertwined: they can be present in the same protein complexes, impinge on the same developmental processes, and influence the same signaling pathways. This interconnectedness may illustrate a central way in which core developmental events are controlled to bring about the robust and precise assembly of neural circuitry.

Abstract
The cadherin family of cell-cell adhesion molecules plays a pivotal role in animal tissue formation. Discovery of this molecular family can be traced back to some unexpected observations of strange cell behavior that were made around 1970 in the Kyoto University laboratory of Tokindo Okada, and then in the Department of Embryology at the Carnegie Institution of Washington (currently the Carnegie Institution for Science). This article looks back on these discoveries, and recalls how these observations led to the identification of important cell-cell adhesion molecules known as cadherins.

Abstract
During the very first days of mammalian development, the embryo forms a structure called the blastocyst. The blastocyst consists of two cell types: the trophectoderm (TE), which implants the embryo in the uterus and the inner cell mass (ICM), which gives rise to all cells of the mammalian body. Previous works identified how cells differentiate according to their position within the embryo: TE for surface cells and ICM for internal cells. It is therefore essential to understand how cells acquire their position in the first place. During the formation of the blastocyst, cells distort and relocate as a consequence of forces that are generated by the cells themselves. Recently, several important studies have identified the forces and cellular mechanisms leading to the shaping of the ICM. Here, I describe how these studies led us to understand how contractile forces shape the mammalian embryo to position and differentiate the ICM.

Abstract
Cadherins are transmembrane proteins that mediate cell-cell adhesion in animals. By regulating contact formation and stability, cadherins play a crucial role in tissue morphogenesis and homeostasis. Here, we review the three major functions of cadherins in cell-cell contact formation and stability. Two of those functions lead to a decrease in interfacial tension at the forming cell-cell contact, thereby promoting contact expansion--first, by providing adhesion tension that lowers interfacial tension at the cell-cell contact, and second, by signaling to the actomyosin cytoskeleton in order to reduce cortex tension and thus interfacial tension at the contact. The third function of cadherins in cell-cell contact formation is to stabilize the contact by resisting mechanical forces that pull on the contact.

Abstract
During embryonic morphogenesis, adhesion molecules are required for selective cell-cell interactions. The classical cadherins mediate homophilic calcium-dependent cell adhesion and are founding members of the large and diverse cadherin superfamily. The protocadherins are the largest subgroup within this superfamily, yet their participation in calcium-dependent cell adhesion is uncertain. In this paper, we demonstrate a novel mechanism of adhesion, mediated by a complex of Protocadherin-19 (Pcdh19) and N-cadherin (Ncad). Although Pcdh19 alone is only weakly adhesive, the Pcdh19-Ncad complex exhibited robust adhesion in bead aggregation assays, and Pcdh19 appeared to play the dominant role. Adhesion by the Pcdh19-Ncad complex was unaffected by mutations that disrupt Ncad homophilic binding but was inhibited by a mutation in Pcdh19. In addition, the complex exhibited homophilic specificity, as beads coated with Pcdh19-Ncad did not intermix with Ncad- or Pcdh17-Ncad-coated beads. We propose a model in which association of a protocadherin with Ncad acts as a switch, converting between distinct binding specificities.

Abstract
Using a sensitive and quantitative adhesion assay, we have studied the initial stages of the intercellular adhesion of the C2 mouse myoblast line. After dissociation in low levels of trypsin in EDTA, C2 cells can rapidly reaggregate by Ca2+-independent mechanisms to form large multicellular aggregates. If cells are allowed to recover from dissociation by incubation in defined media, this adhesive system is augmented by a Ca2+-dependent mechanism with maximum recovery seen after 4 h incubation. The Ca2+-independent adhesion system is inhibited by preincubation of cell monolayers with cycloheximide before dissociation. Aggregation is also reduced after exposure to monensin, implicating a role for surface-translocated glycoproteins in this mechanism of adhesion. In coaggregation experiments using C2 myoblasts and 3T3 fibroblasts in which the Ca2+-dependent adhesion system was inactivated, no adhesive specificity between the two cell types was seen. Although synthetic peptides containing the RGD sequence are known to inhibit cell-substratum adhesion in various cell types, incubation of C2 myoblasts with the integrin-binding tetrapeptide, RGDS, greatly stimulated the Ca2+-independent aggregation of these cells while control analogs had no effect. These results show that a Ca2+-independent mechanism alone is sufficient to allow for the rapid formation of multicellular aggregates in a mouse myoblast line, and that many of the requirements and perturbants of the Ca2+-independent system of intercellular myoblast adhesion are similar to those of the Ca2+-dependent adhesion mechanisms.

Abstract
To gain insight into the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying cell interactions in the early postnatal mouse cerebellum, Ca2+-dependent and -independent aggregation mechanisms were characterized using single cell suspensions under conditions that allow discrimination between the two mechanisms. When cerebellar cells were derived from newborn to 10-day-old mouse cerebellum, both mechanisms were active and showed no major change in activity during this time period. Mg2+ could not replace Ca2+ in the Ca2+-dependent mechanism. In contrast to the Ca2+-independent mechanisms, the Ca2+-dependent mechanism was inactive at low temperatures, suggesting a necessity for molecular rearrangement within the surface membrane during aggregation. Neuraminidase, chondroitinase, heparinase or hyaluronidase treatment of cells did not influence the aggregation of cells under Ca2+-dependent and -independent conditions. Chondroitin sulfate inhibited and hyaluronic acid stimulated the Ca2+-dependent mechanism, whereas chondroitin sulfate only slightly and hyaluronic acid strongly inhibited the Ca2+-independent one. Dextran sulfate slightly inhibited both mechanisms, whereas heparin and fucoidan, a complex sulfated carbohydrate, did not influence cell aggregation, while they strongly inhibited attachment of cells to laminin. The polycation poly-L-lysine slightly stimulated the Ca2+-independent mechanism, but inhibited the Ca2+-dependent one. Interestingly, chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid strongly stimulated cell aggregation under conditions where both mechanisms were almost destroyed or inactive. Dextran sulfate showed only a small effect under these conditions. These observations indicate that different molecular mechanisms are active in cell-cell versus cell-extracellular matrix interactions and suggest a hitherto unknown complexity in molecular mechanisms during early postnatal cerebellar development.

Abstract
The lymphoid system and cells of immunity are as morphologically well defined as those of any complex organ but in addition they show dynamic long-range interactions between the fluid tissues (lymphocytes, monocytes, etc.) and the solid, vascular and generative tissues and organs which they comprise. Given the observation that CAMs are present in epithelial components of lymphoid organs, it appears that, in their ontogeny, the organs of immunity will share a common principle of morphoregulation by CAMs with brains, feathers and other parts of the phenotype. As discussed here, this principle is a regulatory one operating across many levels of organization from the genes to tissues and back again (see Fig. 1). At some early point in the evolution of the immune system, a gene corresponding to an N-CAM precursor must have duplicated to provide a basis for the Ig superfamily with its increasing specializations for recognition and for cellular regulation during the immune response. Lymphocyte cellular families also developed later specializations (along with other leukocytes) for adhesive functions accessory to specific recognition. As far as we can see, the molecules for these accessory functions only remotely resemble CAMs, but closely resemble receptors for matrix molecules and SAMs. What CAMs and Ig superfamily members have in common is an evolutionary path and important roles in mediating complex regulatory responses that arise from cell-cell interactions. In the one case, this regulation leads to morphology, and in the other, to immune recognition. The first depends directly upon pattern (the formation of definite tissue structure); the regulation of the second also depends upon pattern to the extent that its function is dependent upon the morphology of lymphoid organs and vasculature. But although specific immune recognition depends locally upon adhesion through special mechanisms, it does not lead to morphology. One must not therefore impute too much in the physiological sense to the resemblance among brain molecules and molecules of the immune system. CAMs themselves are not directly histotypic at the level of individual differentiated cells but rather are used to link early tissue boundaries in induction and function in a wide variety of different tissues. As a consequence, N-CAM is central to the formation and maintenance of neural tissue but has a much wider tissue distribution and a fundamental role in very early embryogenesis as is the case with other primary CAMs. Thus, the immune system did not evolve from the nervous system, but from a cell adhesion system essential to both.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Cultured cells from either chicken lens or liver plated on solid substrates form flat epithelial sheets with adherens-type junctions between them. In lens cells these junctions contain A-CAM, while the same type of intercellular junctions in liver cells contain another cell adhesion molecule, L-CAM. Coculturing of lens and liver cells in the same dish resulted in the formation of mixed (heterotypic) adherens junctions. Double immunofluorescent labeling for both A-CAM and L-CAM indicated that the mixed junctions contained both molecules, each of which was present on one of the two partner cells. Moreover, the formation of the heterotypic junctions could be effectively inhibited by both anti-A-CAM and anti-L-CAM antibodies. It has thus been proposed that A-CAM and L-CAM share significant functional homology and may be involved in heterophilic interactions leading to the establishment of molecularly and cellularly asymmetrical adherens-type junctions.

Abstract
Cellular aggregates have been used in developmental biology and in experimental cancer research for several decades. Spherical aggregates of malignant cells, i.e. multicellular tumor spheroids, may serve as in vitro models of tumor microregions and of an early, avascular stage of tumor growth. The similarities between the original tumor and the respective spheroids include volume growth kinetics, cellular heterogeneity, e.g. the induction of proliferation gradients and quiescence, as well as differentiation characteristics, such as the development of specific histological structures or the expression of antigens. Research using cell aggregates has been focussed on mechanisms involved in the control of proliferation, invasion and metastasis. Immunological studies with spheroids have resulted in the characterization of defense cells which are responsible for specific host-versus-tumor reactions. The vast majority of investigations on spheroids concerns the simulation of therapy with regard to various treatment modalities, combination treatments and systematic analyses of using various endpoints in predictive assays. Only a few pathophysiological studies on the interrelationship among tumor-specific micromilieu, cellular metabolism, proliferative status, and cellular viability have been undertaken with the spheroid model up to now. Since these studies are indicative of a large influence of the cellular microenvironment on basic biological properties of cancer cells, investigations of these epigenetic mechanisms should be intensified in future research on cell aggregates. Similarly, the molecular basis of the biological peculiarities found in malignant cells grown as three-dimensional aggregates has to be investigated more intensively.

Abstract
Recognition and binding between cells are of fundamental importance for a proper function of multicellular organisms, both during embryonic development and in the adult stage. Recently several cell surface proteins that are involved in these phenomena have been discovered. In the identification of these proteins, called cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), immunological methods have played a significant role. In a different approach to studies of cell-cell binding at the molecular level, the chemical composition of intercellular junctions is being studied. Intercellular junctions are specialized cell surface domains that have been identified by electron microscopy. They are particularly well developed in epithelia. Several proteins in the junctions have now been identified and characterized. This review deals with the biochemical properties of epithelial CAMs, and those proteins that are candidates for cell-to-cell binding in the junctions. In particular, the relationships between the various CAMs and junctional proteins are discussed. The tentative biological functions of these molecules are also considered.

Abstract
Cultured chick myoblasts (Mb) were resuspended by incubation with 100 micrograms/ml trypsin/2.5 mM CaCl2 (to yield TC-Mb), or with 5 micrograms/ml trypsin/2.5 mM EDTA (to yield LTE-Mb). As measured in a particle counter, TC-Mb aggregation was Ca2+ dependent, whereas LTE-Mb aggregated equally well in the presence of CaCl2 or EDTA. Cells subjected to the same treatments in sequence, like cells dissociated directly with 100 micrograms/ml trypsin/2.5 mM EDTA, did not aggregate significantly in the presence or absence of Ca2+. Adhesive specificity was assessed by mixing unlabeled cells with cells labeled with a fluorescent dye and then analyzing the distribution of fluorescent and nonfluorescent cells in aggregates. No adhesive specificity was seen in controls (i.e., TC-Mb aggregated randomly with TC-Mb, or LTE-Mb with LTE-Mb), but TC-Mb and LTE-Mb did not cross-adhere. These results indicate the existence of two independent, noncomplementing, adhesion systems, and suggest that the differential treatments preserve or activate one system while destroying the other. Myoblasts dissociated with 2.5 mM EDTA in the absence of exogenous trypsin (E-Mb) have both adhesion systems active on their surfaces, as do Mb grown in Ca2+-free medium and then dissociated with 0.7 mM EDTA (Knudsen, K. A., and Horwitz, A. F., Dev. Biol. 58, 328-338, 1977). Although aggregation of E-Mb is largely Ca2+ independent and that of Knudsen/Horwitz-Mb is largely Ca2+ dependent, they adhere well to each other and to LTE-Mb while segregating from TC-Mb. Fibroblasts also have dual adhesion systems, one Ca2+ dependent and the other Ca2+ independent, but TC-Fb do not cross-adhere to TC-Mb (nor E-Fb to E-Mb). Cell type-specific adhesive selectivity may thus contribute to the selectivity of myocyte fusion.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that monoclonal antibody 60.3 reacting with a surface antigen common to human leukocytes inhibits phorbol ester-induced adhesion among blood mononuclear cells and precipitates from these cells three surface polypeptides with apparent molecular weights of 90,000, 130,000 and 160,000. Now we report that the same antibody, either as purified IgG or Fab fragments, also inhibits the extensive adhesion among granulocytes induced by phorbol ester. Inhibition of cell aggregation was not observed with monoclonal antibodies to C3b receptor, common leukocyte antigen T200, C3bi receptor, brain granulocyte-T lymphocyte antigen, IgG Fc receptor, class I transplantation antigen, or a granulocyte-specific antigen. Intercellular adhesion induced by either the chemotactic tripeptide N-formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP) or the ionophore A23187 was also inhibited by antibody 60.3. However, this antibody did not affect phorbol ester-induced superoxide (O2-) generation or lysozyme release. Two major surface glycopolypeptides with apparent molecular weights of 92,000 and 155,000 were immunoprecipitated from granulocytes. Dissociation of the protein complexes obtained from blood mononuclear cells and granulocytes indicated the presence of the epitope on the 90,000-92,000 molecular-weight components. It is thus concluded that the smallest glycopolypeptides mediate adhesion in human granulocytes and mononuclear leukocytes.

Abstract
It has previously been shown that the monoclonal antibody anti-Arc-1 dissociates Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) epithelial cells and changes their morphology in vitro (Imhof, B.A., H.P. Vollmers, S.L. Goodman, and W. Birchmeier, 1983, Cell, 35:667-675). In this article we demonstrate that the anti-Arc-1 antibody recognizes an uvomorulin-like molecule on MDCK cells, i.e., it immunoprecipitates an 84-kD protein fragment from a tryptic digest of cell surfaces in the presence of Ca2+ (as does anti-uvomorulin antiserum). Furthermore, anti-uvomorulin antiserum prevents the binding of anti-Arc-1 to MDCK cells. The distribution of the Arc-1 antigen is also quite similar to that of uvomorulin: it is enriched at the cell-cell contacts both of MDCK cells and of cells in various canine tissues. In the intestinal epithelium the antigen could be further localized in the region of the junctional complex. To study the mechanism of action of the dissociating antibody, MDCK cells grown on Nuclepore filters in Boyden chambers were exposed to anti-Arc-1 from either the upper or lower compartment. It could be shown that the antibody interfered with cell adhesion only from the basolateral but not from the apical cell surface. Antibody action was inhibited in the presence of colchicine but not cytochalasin B. Furthermore, cell dissociation was prevented when the cellular cAMP level was raised. These findings indicate that the anti-Arc-1 antibody acts on a target below the tight junctions (possibly on the antigen located in the junctional complex), and they confirm that cytoskeleton and metabolic factors are actively involved in the maintenance of junctional integrity.

Phorbol esters rapidly induce aggregation of human mononuclear leukocytes in vitro. Previous studies have indicated that cell surface proteins are involved. We report now that the monoclonal antibody 60.3, either as purified IgG or as Fab' fragments, to an antigen common to leukocytes completely inhibited the phorbol ester-induced intercellular adhesion (binding). No inhibition of cell aggregation was observed with monoclonal antibodies to common leukocyte antigen T 200, T-cell-associated antigen, monocyte-granulocyte antigen, brain granulocyte-T-lymphocyte antigen, transferrin receptor, mature T-cell antigens (mol.wt either 67,000 or 19,000/29,000), T helper/inducer cell antigen, sheep erythrocyte receptor, class I or class II antigens, or T cytotoxic/suppressor cell antigen. The antibody 60.3 did not inhibit stimulation of the cells since the characteristic phorbol ester-induced morphological changes and phorbol ester-enhanced cap formation of membrane glycoproteins were readily observed. Two major cell surface polypeptides with apparent molecular weights of 90,000 and 160,000 were immunoprecipitated. We conclude that this protein complex, or at least one of its components, mediates adhesion among mononuclear leukocytes.

Abstract
We have examined, under a number of conditions, the aggregation behavior of Schneider Line 2 cells established originally from embryos of Drosophila melanogaster. The work presented in this paper further establishes appropriate conditions for the study of cellular adhesion in Drosophila cell lines; shows that the adhesive capacity of Drosophila cell line cells, under our experimental conditions, depends upon the presence of CA2+ but not Mg2+; shows that Drosophila cell line cells will not aggregate in the cold; and shows that trypsin treatment inhibits the aggregation of cell line cells, although high concentrations of calcium ions interfere with the action of trypsin.

Abstract
Rat astrocytes in primary cultures were employed to isolate the plasma membrane. The method for the isolation of plasma membrane was based on the capacity of the cytoskeleton to adhere to the substratum entrapping intracellular organelles during freezing-thawing cycle performed on the cell. By washing the 'surface adherent framework', the untrapped plasma membrane were recovered and density equilibrium centrifugation resulted in the isolated membrane. The isolated plasma membrane was characterized on the basis of a variety of marker enzymes positive to the plasma membrane such as (Na+ + K+)-ATPase or 5'-nucleotidase as well as the lack of conventional markers of other endomembranes. Ultrastructurally the membranes, as isolated here, were mainly vesicular in nature. The isolated plasma membrane was devoid of the dehydrogenase responsible for NADH-cytochrome c reductase activity. However, NADH-ferricyanide reductase activity and the dehydrogenase system catalyzing the transfer of reducing equivalents from NADH or NADPH to dichloroindophenol seems plasma membrane redox system. The identical specific activity employing dichloroindophenol as an electron acceptor with NADH or NADPH as donor indicate a DT-diaphorase (EC 1.6.99.2) like activity in the astrocytes plasma membrane.

Abstract
We report here on a new 135-kd membrane protein which is specifically associated with intercellular adherens-type junctions. This surface component was identified by a monoclonal antibody, ID-7.2.3, raised against detergent-extracted components of membranes of chicken cardiac muscle rich in intercalated discs. The antibodies stain extensively adherens junctions in intact cardiac muscle and in lens, as well as in cultured cells derived from these tissues. In living cultured cells only very little immunolabelling was obtained with ID-7.2.3 antibodies, probably due to the limited accessibility of the antibodies to the intercellular gap. However, upon the removal of extracellular Ca2+ ions a dissociation of the junction occurred, leading to the rapid exposure of the 135-kd protein. Immunoelectron microscopic labelling of EGTA-treated, or detergent-permeabilized cells indicated that the antigen is found along the plasma membrane and highly enriched in contact areas. Double immunolabelling for both the 135-kd protein and vinculin pointed to the close association of the two in intercellular junctions and to the apparent absence of the former protein from the vinculin-rich focal contacts of cultured cells and from dense plaque of smooth muscle. Immunoblotting indicated that the 135-kd protein is present in many tissues but is particularly enriched in heart, lens and brain.

Abstract
We have recently identified a 105000 D plasma membrane glycoprotein, denoted cell-CAM 105 (CAM, cell adhesion molecule), that is involved in intercellular adhesion of reaggregating rat hepatocytes (Ocklind & Obrink, J biol chem 257 (1982) 6788 [11]). In this communication we identify another cell surface protein that is also involved in hepatocyte cell-cell adhesion. This protein has an apparent molecular weight (MW) of 70000 and can be released from the surface membrane by chelation of calcium with EGTA. Results are presented indicating that it is identical with a previously discovered protein, CDP-1 (CDP, calcium-dependent protein) (Obrink, Lindström & Svennung, FEBS lett 70 (1976) 28 [28]). Antisera produced against either cell-CAM 105 or CDP-1 inhibit hepatocyte aggregation, but not attachment to collagen. Cell-CAM 105 and CDP-1 are present on the cell surface as separate components, as judged by the fact that both EGTA treatment and trypsin treatment of hepatocytes selectively make the cells insensitive to blocking of aggregation by antibodies against CDP-1 but not by antibodies against cell-CAM 105. However, although much less efficiently, the antibodies against CDP-1 can recognize a 105000 D protein which is also bound by the antibodies against cell-CAM 105, and under certain conditions the antibodies against cell-CAM 105 seem to recognize a 70000 D protein. CDP-1 may thus be derived from cell-CAM 105, or the two proteins might have a common precursor.

Abstract
We recently identified a 105,000-dalton plasma membrane glycoprotein, denoted cell-CAM 105 (CAM, cell adhesion molecule), that is involved in intercellular adhesion of reaggregating rat hepatocytes (Ocklind, C., and B. Obrink, 1982, J. Biol. Chem., 257:6788-6795). In this communication we used a monospecific rabbit antiserum against cell-CAM 105 to localize the antigen by indirect immunofluorescence on isolated rat cells and on frozen rat tissue sections. This antiserum stained the surface of freshly isolated hepatocytes. In liver sections, however, the fluorescence seemed to be located exclusively along the bile canaliculi. In addition, cell-CAM 105 showed a very specific tissue distribution. Thus a specific fluorescence was seen only in the epithelia of the stomach, the small intestine, the large intestine, the glandular epithelium of the parotid gland, and the tubules of the kidney. No specific fluorescence was found in variety of other tissues, including cartilage, interstitial connective tissue, smooth muscle, skeletal muscle, heart muscle, eye, brain, skin, the epithelia of oesophagus, bladder, uterin mucosa, thyroid follicles, prostate gland, or collecting ducts of the kidney. In the simple epithelia of the intestine and the kidney tubules the fluorescence was confined to the apical, luminal portion. Thus, both in these epithelia and in liver, cell-CAM 105 was confined to the apical, luminal portion. Thus, both in these epithelia and in liver, cell-CAM 105 was located where the typical junctional complexes between cells are found. These findings taken together with the fact that cell-CAM 105 is involved in intercellular adhesion between hepatocytes suggest with the fac that cell-CAM 105 is involved in intercellular adhesion between hepatocytes suggest that cell-CAM 105 is a member of the junctional complexes of hepatocytes and some simple epithelia.

Abstract
It has been proposed that cell-cell recognition occurs by means of local cell surface modulation of a small number of proteins rather than by expression of large numbers of different cell surface markers. Several different cell adhesion molecules (CAM's) have now been found in a number of vertebrate species in different tissues such as liver and striated muscle and even in a single complex structure such as the brain, where different molecules specific for neurons and glia have been identified. The neuron-specific molecule is involved in early embryonic events but also mediates neurite fasciculation, neuromuscular interaction, and orderly layering of neural tissue. It undergoes local surface modulation with loss of sialic acid during development. A failure of this process is closely correlated with connectional disorders in the staggerer mutant of the mouse. The accumulated data on this and other CAM's favor modulation theories rather than strict chemoaffinity theories of cell-cell recognition.

Abstract
Postaggregative gene expression in Dictyostelium discoideum requires cell contact. Polyspecific monovalent antibodies (Fab) prepared from sera raised against membranes of aggregation- and postaggregation-stage cells were used to probe the cell interactions that induce rapid postaggregative synthesis of UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase. When cells of strain V12M2 were dissociated after 8 hr of development and replated in the presence of immune Fab, both reaggregation and pyrophosphorylase synthesis were blocked. Fab neutralized by incubation with EDTA-high salt extracts of cells developed for 3 hr blocked pyrophosphorylase synthesis but not reaggregation. Therefore, some cell-surface components that regulate pyrophosphorylase synthesis (called E sites) are antigenically distinct from those required for reaggregation. The Fab provides a means to assay E sites during their purification. Addition of 10(-3) M cyclic AMP or cyclic GMP enabled the cells to bypass the blocking of E sites by Fab; pyrophosphorylase was synthesized in the absence of reaggregation. We hypothesize that E sites function by raising the level of intracellular cyclic AMP.

Abstract
Teratocarcinoma cells have a Ca2+-dependent cell-cell adhesion site (t-CDS) that is unique in being inactivated with trypsin in the absence of CA2+ but not in the presence of Ca2+. Fab fragments of antibodies raised against teratocarcinoma F9 cells dissociated by treatment with trypsin and calcium (anti-TC-F9) inhibit the aggregation of teratocarcinoma cells mediated by t-CDS. This inhibitory effect of Fab is removed when anti-TC-F9 is absorbed with F9 cells treated with trypsin and calcium (TC-F9), but not when it is absorbed with F9 cells treated with trypsin and EGTA (TE-F9). Comparisons of cell-surface antigens reactive to anti-TC-F9 in TC-F9 cells with those in TE-F9 cells reveal that only one component, with an approximate molecular weight of 140,000 (p140), is detected specifically on the surface of TC-F9 cells. When TC-F9 cells are retrypsinized in the absence of CA2+, a substance with an approximate molecular weight of 34,000 (p34) is released that can neutralize the aggregation-inhibitory effect of the Fab. This p34 interferes with the immunoprecipitation of p140 with anti-TC-F9, suggesting that p34 is a tryptic fragment of p140. Anti-TC-F9 Fab causes the dissociation of the monolayers of teratocarcinoma cells. This effect is removed by absorption of the Fab with p34 as well as with TC-F9 cells, but not with TE-F9 cells. These results suggest that p140 is essential for the function of t-CDS, and that this is an actual cell-adhesion molecule active in the establishment of monolayers of teratocarcinoma cells.

Abstract
Broad spectrum antisera have been raised against surface membrane-derived material from baby hamster kidney cells and mouse mammary tumor epithelial cells. These antisera disrupt cell-substratum adhesion in their respective cell types. Using an antibody neutralization (blocking) assay, adhesion-related glycoproteins have been isolated from non-ionic detergent extracts of each cell type. The purified material in each case consisted of a restricted population of glycoproteins of approximately 120,000-160,000 Mr. Purified material from each system blocked the disruption of adhesion induced by the heterologous antiserum on either cell type. The antisera were capable of disrupting cell-substratum adhesion of a large number of cell types and species sources. In addition, antibody blocking activity could be detected from partially purified extracts of several adult hamster cell types and a variety of cultured cell types. Thus, in addition to having similar substratum-associated glycoproteins ((eg, fibronectin) and cytoskeleton-associated proteins (eg, alpha-actinin and vinculin) cells from different species and tissue sources appear to have a relatively conserved class of integral membrane glycoproteins involved in cell substratum-adhesion.

Abstract
Fibroblastic CHO cells readily adhere to fibronectin (Fn) coated substrata. From the parental cell population we have recently selected a series of adhesion variants (ADV cells) that cannot adhere to Fn substrata (Harper and Juliano. 1980. J. Cell. Biol. 87:755-763). However, ADV cells readily adhere to substrata coated with extracellular matrix material (ECM) derived from human diploid fibroblasts by a mechanism that does not involve fibronectin (Harper and Juliano. 1981. Nature (Lond.). 290:136-138). Te Fn-dependent adhesion mechanism of parental cells (type 1 adhesion) and the ECM-dependent adhesion of ADV cells (type II adhesion) can also be discriminated on the basis of their differential sensitivity to proteolysis, with the type II mechanism being far more sensitive. In this communication we report that parental CHO cells possess both type I and type II mechanisms whereas ADV cells possess only the type II mechanism. We also identify a high molecular weight membrane glycoprotein (gp 265) that seems to play a role in type II adhesion. This component is detected by [125I]lactoperoxidase of [3H]borohydride-galactose oxidase labeling of surface proteins in WT and AD cells. Cleavage of gp 265 with low doses of proteases correlates completely with the loss of type II adhesion capacity. Thus CHO cells possess two functionally and biochemically distinct adhesion mechanisms, one involving exogenous Fn and the other mediated by the membrane component gp 265.

Abstract
Three criteria have been used to distinguish among different systems of embryonic cell adhesion: dependence on Ca2+, involvement of particular cell-surface molecules, and binding specificity. The characterization of the adhesion with respect to cell-surface molecules was carried out by using specific antibodies against the neural and liver cell adhesion molecules (N-CAM and L-CAM) and antibodies raised against retinal cells prepared by limited trypsinization in the presence of Ca2+ (called "T/Ca cells"). Aggregation of cells prepared from retina or brain without Ca2+ did not require Ca2+ and was inhibited by anti-(N-CAM) antibodies but not by anti-(L-CAM) or anti-T/Ca cell antibodies. In contrast, cells obtained from the same tissues in the presence of Ca2+ did require Ca2+ to aggregate. This aggregation was inhibited by anti-T/Ca cell antibodies but not by anti-(N-CAM) or anti-(L-CAM) antibodies. Hepatocyte aggregation also required Ca2+ and was inhibited only by anti-(L-CAM) antibodies. These results define three antigenically distinct cell adhesion systems in the embryo and raise the possibility that additional systems will be found. The neural Ca2+-independent system displayed a limited tissue specificity, mediating binding to neural but not liver cells. In contrast, the Ca2+-dependent systems of both neural and liver cells caused binding to all cell types tested. The Ca2+-dependent system was most active in retinal cells from 6-7 day embryos, whereas the Ca2+-independent system was most active at later times during development. In addition, treatments that inhibited the Ca2+-independent or Ca2+-dependent systems had very different effects on the fasciculation of neurites from dorsal root ganglia. All of the results suggest that Ca2+-independent and Ca2+-dependent adhesion systems play different functional roles during embryogenesis.
