J Control Release 2024:S0168-3659(24)00319-5. [PMID: 38782061 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2024.05.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
Cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1), a single-pass transmembrane protein, is involved in oncogenesis. We previously demonstrated the therapeutic efficacy of anti-CADM1 ectodomain monoclonal antibodies against mesothelioma; however, the underlying mechanism is unclear. In the present study, we explored the molecular behavior of anti-CADM1 antibodies in CADM1-expressing tumor cells. Sequencing analyses revealed that the anti-CADM1 chicken monoclonal antibodies 3E1 and 9D2 are IgY and IgM isotype antibodies, respectively. Co-administration of 3E1 and 9D2 altered the subcellular distribution of CADM1 from the detergent-soluble fraction to the detergent-resistant fraction in tumor cells. Using recombinant chicken-mouse chimeric antibodies that had been isotype-switched from IgG to IgM, we demonstrated that the combination of the variable region of 3E1 and the constant region of IgM was required for CADM1 relocation. Cytochemical studies showed that 3E1 colocalized with late endosomes/lysosomes after co-administration with 9D2, suggesting that the CADM1-antibody complex is internalized from the cell surface to intracellular compartments by lipid-raft mediated endocytosis. Finally, 3E1 was conjugated with the antimitotic agent monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) via a cathepsin-cleavable linker. Co-administration of 3E1-monomethyl auristatin E and 9D2 suppressed the growth of multiple types of tumor cells, and this anti-tumor activity was confirmed in a syngeneic mouse model of melanoma. 3E1 and 9D2 are promising drug delivery vehicles for CADM1-expressing tumor cells.

Abstract
A fundamental question in developmental biology is whether tissue architectures formed during development are set for life, or require continuous maintenance signals, and if so, what are those signals. The islets of Langerhans in the pancreas can serve as an elegant model tissue to answer these questions. Islets have a non-random spatial architecture, which is important to proper glucose homeostasis. Islet architecture forms during embryonic development, in a morphogenesis process partially involving expression of Roundabout (Robo) receptors in β cells, and their ligand, Slit, in the surrounding mesenchyme. Whether islet architecture is set during development and remains passive in adulthood, or whether it requires active maintenance throughout life, has not been determined. Here we conditionally deleted Robo2 in β cells of adult mice and observed their islet architecture following a two-month chase. We show that deleting Robo2 in adult β cells causes significant loss of islet architecture without affecting β cell identity, maturation, or stress, indicating that Robo2 plays a role in actively maintaining adult islet architecture. Understanding the factors required to maintain islet architecture, and thus optimize islet function, is important for developing future diabetes therapies.

Abstract
The development of new therapeutic approaches to treat type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) relies on the precise understanding and deciphering of insulin-secreting β-cell biology, as well as the mechanisms responsible for their autoimmune destruction. β-cell or islet transplantation is viewed as a potential long-term therapy for the millions of patients with diabetes. To advance the field of insulin-secreting cell transplantation, two main research areas are currently investigated by the scientific community: (1) the identification of the developmental pathways that drive the differentiation of stem cells into insulin-producing cells, providing an inexhaustible source of cells; and (2) transplantation strategies and engineered transplants to provide protection and enhance the functionality of transplanted cells. In this review, we discuss the biology of pancreatic β-cells, pathology of T1D and current state of β-cell differentiation. We give a comprehensive view and discuss the different possibilities to engineer enhanced insulin-secreting cell/islet transplantation from a translational perspective.

Possible Therapeutic Utility of anti-Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 Antibodies for Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma. Front Cell Dev Biol 2022; 10:945007. [PMID: 35903548 PMCID: PMC9315061 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2022.945007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2022] [Accepted: 06/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a highly aggressive malignant tumor, and the effective therapeutic drugs are limited. Thus, the establishment of novel therapeutic method is desired. Considerable proportion of MPMs are shown to express cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1), and to use CADM1 to bind to and proliferate on the pleural mesothelial surface, suggesting that CADM1 is a possible therapeutic target. Here, anti-CADM1 ectodomain chicken monoclonal antibodies, 3E1 and 9D2, were examined for their possible therapeutic utility. The full-length form of CADM1 was expressed in eight out of twelve human MPM cell lines. MPM cell lines were cultured on a confluent monolayer of mesothelial MeT-5A cells in the presence of 9D2, the neutralizing antibody. 9D2 suppressed the cell growth of CADM1-positive MPM cells with the loss and aggregation of CADM1 molecules on the MPM cell membrane, but not of CADM1-negative MPM cells. Co-addition of 3E1, lacking the neutralizing action, enhanced the growth-suppressive effect of 9D2. The two antibodies were tested as drug delivery vectors. 3E1 was converted into a humanized antibody (h3E1) and conjugated with monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), a tubulin polymerization inhibitor. When the resulting h3E1–MMAE antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) was added to the standard cultures of CADM1-positive MPM cells, it suppressed the cell growth in a dose-dependent manner. Co-addition of 9D2 enhanced the growth-suppressive effect of h3E1–MMAE ADC. Anti-CADM1 ectodomain antibodies were suggested to serve as both antibody drugs and drug vectors in the treatment of MPM.

A Fully-Human Antibody Specifically Targeting a Membrane-Bound Fragment of CADM1 Potentiates the T Cell-Mediated Death of Human Small-Cell Lung Cancer Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23136895.

Abstract
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is the most aggressive form of lung cancer and the leading cause of global cancer-related mortality. Despite the earlier identification of membrane-proximal cleavage of cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1) in cancers, the role of the membrane-bound fragment of CAMD1 (MF-CADM1) is yet to be clearly identified. In this study, we first isolated MF-CADM1-specific fully human single-chain variable fragments (scFvs) from the human synthetic scFv antibody library using the phage display technology. Following the selected scFv conversion to human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) scFv-Fc antibodies (K103.1–4), multiple characterization studies, including antibody cross-species reactivity, purity, production yield, and binding affinity, were verified. Finally, via intensive in vitro efficacy and toxicity evaluation studies, we identified K103.3 as a lead antibody that potently promotes the death of human SCLC cell lines, including NCI-H69, NCI-H146, and NCI-H187, by activated Jurkat T cells without severe endothelial toxicity. Taken together, these findings suggest that antibody-based targeting of MF-CADM1 may be an effective strategy to potentiate T cell-mediated SCLC death, and MF-CADM1 may be a novel potential therapeutic target in SCLC for antibody therapy.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) uses its S1 spike protein to bind to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) on human cells in the first step of cell entry. Tryptanthrin, extracted from leaves of the indigo plant, Polygonum tinctorium, using d-limonene (17.3 µg/ml), is considered to inhibit ACE2-mediated cell entry of another type of coronavirus, HCoV-NL63. The current study examined whether this extract could inhibit the binding of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein to ACE2. Binding was quantified as cell-bound fluorescence intensity in live cell cultures in which canine kidney MDCK cells overexpressing ACE2 were incubated with fluorescein-labeled S1 spike protein. When indigo extract, together with S1 protein, was added at 8,650x and 17,300x dilutions, fluorescence intensity decreased in a dose- and S1 extract-dependent manner, without affecting cell viability. When 4.0-nM tryptanthrin was added instead of the indigo extract, fluorescence intensity also decreased, but to a lesser degree than with indigo extract. Docking simulation analyses revealed that tryptanthrin readily bound to the receptor-binding domain of the S1 protein, and identified 2- and 7-amino acid sequences as the preferred binding sites. The indigo extract appeared to inhibit S1-ACE2 binding at high dilutions, and evidently contained other inhibitory elements as well as tryptanthrin. This extract may be useful for the prevention or treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pathophysiology of type 1 diabetes (T1D) is illustrated by pancreatic islet infiltration of inflammatory lymphocytes, including CD8+ T cells; however, the molecular factors mediating their recruitment remain unknown. We hypothesized that single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-Seq) analysis of immune cell populations isolated from islets of NOD mice captured gene expression dynamics providing critical insight into autoimmune diabetes pathogenesis. METHODS Pancreatic sections from human donors were investigated, including individuals with T1D, autoantibody-positive (aAb+) individuals, and individuals without diabetes who served as controls. IHC was performed to assess islet hormones and both novel and canonical immune cell markers that were identified from unbiased, state-of-the-art workflows after reanalyzing murine scRNA-Seq data sets. RESULTS Computational workflows identified cell adhesion molecule 1–mediated (Cadm1-mediated) homotypic binding among the most important intercellular interactions among all cell clusters, as well as Cadm1 enrichment in macrophages and DCs from pancreata of NOD mice. Immunostaining of human pancreata revealed an increased number of CADM1+glucagon+ cells adjacent to CD8+ T cells in sections from T1D and aAb+ donors compared with individuals without diabetes. Numbers of CADM1+CD68+ peri-islet myeloid cells adjacent to CD8+ T cells were also increased in pancreatic sections from both T1D and aAb+ donors compared with individuals without diabetes. CONCLUSION Increased detection of CADM1+ cells adjacent to CD8+ T cells in pancreatic sections of individuals with T1D and those who were aAb+ validated workflows and indicated CADM1-mediated intercellular contact may facilitate islet infiltration of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and serve as a potential therapeutic target for preventing T1D pathogenesis.

Abstract
The cell adhesion molecule CADM1, which participates in cell adhesion and signal transduction, has a regulatory effect on the development of tumors. CADM1 is often involved in malignant tumors of multiple organ systems, such as the respiratory and digestive systems. Upregulated CADM1 promotes tumor cell apoptosis and inhibits malignant proliferation. Along with cell cycle-related proteins, it participates in regulating signaling pathways, such as EMT, STAT3, and AKT, and plays an important role in inhibiting invasion and migration. Considering clinical characteristics, low CADM1 expression is associated with aggressive tumors and poor prognosis. In addition, some long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) or miRNAs directly or indirectly act on CADM1 to regulate tumor growth and motility. Interestingly, CADM1 function differs in adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), and NF-κB is thought to be involved in this process. Taken together, CADM1 could be a potential biomarker for early diagnosis and a target for cancer treatment in future clinical practices.

Abstract
AIMS Cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1) mediates interepithelial adhesion and is upregulated in crowded epithelial monolayers. This study aimed to examine CADM1 expression in the human endometrium of proliferative and secretory phases, and its transcriptional regulation in terms of estrogen stimuli and higher cellularity. MAIN METHODS CADM1 immunohistochemistry was conducted on endometrial tissues from women in their 40s and adult mice subcutaneously injected with estradiol following ovariectomy. Dual-luciferase reporter assays were conducted using human endometrial HEC-50B and HEC-1B cells and reporter plasmids harboring the human CADM1 3.4-kb promoter and its deleted and mutated forms. Cells were transfected with estrogen receptor α cDNA and reporter plasmids, and treated with estradiol before luciferase activity measurement. KEY FINDINGS Immunohistochemistry revealed that CADM1 was clearly expressed on the lateral membranes of the simple columnar glandular cells in the proliferative phase, but not in the secretory phase, from both women and the mouse model. The glandular cell density increased two-fold in the proliferative phase. Reporter assays identified three Sp1-binding sites as estradiol-responsive elements in the proximal region (from -223 to -84) of the transcription start site (+1) in HEC-50B cells. When the cell culture was started at eight-fold higher cell density, the CADM1 3.4-kb promoter was transactivated at a two-fold higher level in HEC-50B cells. This cell density effect was not detected for the CADM1 2.3-kb or 1.6-kb promoter. SIGNIFICANCE Two (proximal and distal) promoter regions are suggested to function additively to transactivate CADM1 in endometrial glandular cells that crowd in the proliferative phase.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), the most common mesenchymal tumor of the human gastrointestinal tract, differentiating toward the interstitial cell of Cajal (ICC), arises predominantly in the stomach and small intestine. Small intestinal GISTs appear to have worse prognosis than gastric GISTs. In a pilot study of a cDNA expression chip using several GISTs, we found that Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 (CADM1), which could contribute to tumor growth and infiltration, is expressed more strongly in small intestinal GISTs than gastric GISTs. In the present study, we examined CADM1 expression in GISTs of different sites and with different gene abnormalities using a large number of gastric and small intestinal GISTs. First, immunoblotting confirmed significantly higher CADM1 expression in small intestinal GISTs with exon 11 c-kit mutation than gastric GISTs with exon 11 c-kit mutation. Real-time PCR also revealed that small intestinal GISTs with exon 11 c-kit mutation showed significantly higher CADM1 mRNA than gastric GISTs with exon 11 c-kit mutation. Although most small intestinal GISTs showed high CADM1 mRNA expression regardless of gene abnormality types, different CADM1 expression was detected between gastric GISTs with c-kit mutation and those with PDGFRA mutation. Immunohistochemistry showed that many small intestinal GISTs were CADM1-positive but most gastric GISTs CADM1-negative or -indefinite. In the normal gastric and small intestinal walls, immunoreactivity of CADM1 was detected only in nerves, but neither in gastric ICCs nor small intestinal ICCs, indicating that the high CADM1expression in small intestinal GISTs might be acquired during tumorigenesis. Different CADM1 expression between gastric and small intestinal GISTs might be related to different prognoses between them. Further functional experiments are needed to elucidate the role of CADM1 on GIST biology, and there is a possibility that targeting therapy against CADM1 has a preventive effect for tumor spreading in small intestinal GISTs.

Abstract
When epithelial cells in vivo are stimulated to proliferate, they crowd and often grow in height. These processes are likely to implicate dynamic interactions among lateral membranous proteins, such as cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1), an immunoglobulin superfamily member. Pulmonary epithelial cell lines that express CADM1, named NCI-H441 and RLE-6TN, were grown to become overconfluent in the polarized 2D culture system, and were examined for the expression of CADM1. Western analyses showed that the CADM1 expression levels increased gradually up to 3 times in a cell density-dependent manner. Confocal microscopic observations revealed dense immunostaining for CADM1 on the lateral membrane. In the overconfluent monolayers, CADM1 knockdown was achieved by two methods using CADM1-targeting siRNA and an anti-CADM1 neutralizing antibody. Antibody treatment experiments were also done on 6 other epithelial cell lines expressing CADM1. The CADM1 expression levels were reduced roughly by half, in association with cell height decrease by half in 3 lines. TUNEL assays revealed that the CADM1 knockdown increased the proportion of TUNEL-positive apoptotic cells approximately 10 folds. Increased expression of CADM1 appeared to contribute to cell survival in crowded epithelial monolayers.

Abstract
AIMS To determine cellular distribution of cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1), an immunoglobulin superfamily member, in the human oxyntic gastric mucosa, and to explore possible involvement in the development and peritoneal dissemination of signet ring cell (SRC) gastric carcinoma, which often develops in the oxyntic mucosa. MAIN METHODS Immunohistochemistry and double immunofluorescence were conducted on surgical specimens of normal and SRC-bearing stomachs and peritoneal metastatic foci of SRCs. KATO-III (lacking CADM1) and HSC-43 (expressing CADM1) SRC cell lines were cocultured on a Met-5A mesothelial or TIG-1 fibroblastic cell monolayer. KEY FINDINGS In the oxyntic gland, some neck and nearly all base glandular cells were CADM1-positive, and mucin 5AC-positive cells were CADM1-negative, while some mucin 6-positive neck cells were CADM1-positive. Foveolar-epithelial, parietal, and endocrine cells were CADM1-negative. CADM1 was negative in all SRC carcinomas that were confined within the submucosa (n = 11) and all but one of those invading deeper (n = 15). In contrast, peritoneal metastatic foci of SRCs were CADM1-positive in five out of eleven cases (P < 0.01). In the cocultures, exogenous CADM1 made KATO-III cells adhere more and grow faster on a Met-5A monolayer, not on TIG-1 monolayers. HSC-43 cells adhered more and grew faster on Met-5A than on TIG-1 monolayers, which were partly counteracted by a function-neutralizing anti-CADM1 antibody. SIGNIFICANCE Nearly all chief cells and a part of mucous neck cells express CADM1. SRC gastric carcinoma appears to emerge as a CADM1-negative tumor, but CADM1 may help SRCs develop peritoneal dissemination through promoting their adhesion and growth in the serosal tissue.

Abstract
Pulmonary emphysema usually arises in cigarette smokers, and often progresses after smoking cessation and even in ex-smokers. Lung-epithelial cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1), an immunoglobulin superfamily member, is extracellularly shed to produce a proapoptotic C-terminal fragment (CTF) within the cell and contribute to the development of emphysema. Here, we made an ex-smoker model using C57BL/6 mice; mice (6-week-old; 5 mice per group) were exposed to passive smoke of eight cigarettes twice a day 5 days a week until 18 weeks of age, and were then left untreated until 30 weeks of age. We calculated the mean linear intercept (Lm) and the alveolar septal thickness in the lung histologic sections to estimate the alveolar space dilatation. At 18 weeks of age, Lm was marginally enlarged (P = 0.023) with a marked increase in the septal thickness (P < 0.001) in comparison with age-matched control mice (5 mice per group), while at 30 weeks, the increase in Lm was much more prominent (P = 0.006) and the septal thickness was normalized, suggesting that emphysema progressed with septal remodeling during smoking cessation. Western blot analyses of the lungs were performed for CADM1, a possible CADM1 sheddase ADAM10, an epithelial marker pan-cytokeratin, and a myofibroblastic marker α-smooth muscle actin to estimate the expression levels of CTF and ADAM10 per epithelial cell and the levels of pan-cytokeratin and αSMA per tissue. CADM1 shedding was increased in the treated mice than in control mice at both ages, in association with an increase in the CTF level at 30 weeks (P = 0.021). In total of the treated and control mice of 30 weeks of age, Lm was positively correlated with the CTF and ADAM10 levels, and pan-cytokeratin was negatively correlated with CTF, suggesting an involvement of CADM1 shedding in emphysema progression. Positive correlations were also found between CTF and ADAM10, and between ADAM10 and αSMA, suggesting that increased septal myofibroblasts might be involved in increased CADM1 shedding. Taken together, persisting increase in ectodomain shedding of CADM1 appeared to contribute to the progression of emphysema in ex-smokers, and might be accounted for by alveolar septal remodeling.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important problem throughout the world, associated with the increase of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (sCre) and with renal tubular injuries. It is crucial to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of renal injuries to identify the new therapeutics and early diagnostic methods. We focused on cell adhesion molecule-1 (CADM1) protein. CADM1, its isoform SP4, is expressed in the epithelial cells of various tissues, including renal distal tubules, localized on the lateral cell membrane, mediates cell-cell adhesion via trans-homophilic binding, and interacts with various proteins. We previously reported that its expression was downregulated by post-proteolytic cleavage (α- and β-shedding) in pulmonary diseases. To investigate whether CADM1 α-shedding occurs in human nephropathies, we performed Western blotting and immunohistochemical analysis of specimens with arterionephrosclerosis (AS) and diabetic nephropathy (DN) from autopsied kidneys. CADM1 α-shedding was induced in AS and DN kidneys and derived from the decrease in full-length CADM1 (FL-CADM1) and increase of the COOH-terminal fragment (α-CTF). In particular, the reduced FL-CADM1 level was correlated with tubular and tubulointerstitial injuries and the increases in BUN and sCre levels. Apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells (TECs) was promoted in both nephropathies, and it was significantly correlated with the decrease in the FL-CADM1. Furthermore, FL-CADM1 knockdown by small interfering RNA downregulated anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein and promoted apoptosis of cultured renal TECs. The present study suggests that the reduction of FL-CADM1 leads to renal TEC apoptosis and could exacerbate renal tubular and tubulointerstitial injuries, which contribute to the development of CKD.

Abstract
Autonomic neurons innervate pancreatic islets of Langerhans and participate in the maintenance of blood glucose concentrations by controlling hormone levels through attachment with islet cells. We previously found that stimulated superior cervical ganglia (SCG) could induce Ca2+ oscillation in α cells via neuropeptide substance P using an in vitro co-culture model. In this study, we studied the effect of SCG neurite adhesion on intracellular secretory granule movement and glucagon secretion in α cells stimulated by low glucose concentration. Spinning disk microscopic analysis revealed that the mean velocity of intracellular granules was significantly lower in α cells attached to SCG neurites than that in those without neurites under low (2 mM), middle (10 mM), and high (20 mM) glucose concentrations. Stimulation by a low (2 mM) glucose concentration significantly increased glucagon secretion in α cells lacking neurites but not in those bound to neurites. These results suggest that adhesion to SCG neurites decreases low glucose-induced glucagon secretion in pancreatic α cells by attenuating intracellular granule movement activity.

Abstract
Intraluminal pressure elevation can cause degenerative disorders, such as ileus and hydronephrosis, and the threshold is fairly low and constant, 20–30 cm H2O. We previously devised a novel two-chamber culture system subjecting cells cultured on a semipermeable membrane to increased culture medium height (water pressure up to 60 cm H2O). Here, we sought to determine how a continuous pressure load of ~30 cm H2O affects proliferating epithelial cells with special interest in the link with cell morphology. We cultured several different cell lines using the low static pressure-loadable two-chamber system, and examined cell growth, cell cycle, and cell morphology. Madin–Darby canine kidney (MDCK) columnar epithelial cells were growth-suppressed in a manner dependent on static water pressure ranging from 2 to 50 cm H2O, without cell cycle arrest at any specific phase. Two other types of columnar epithelial cells exhibited similar phenotypes. By contrast, spherical epithelial and mesenchymal cells were not growth-suppressed, even at 50 cm H2O. Phalloidin staining revealed that 50 cm H2O pressure load vertically flattened and laterally widened columnar epithelial cells and made actin fiber distribution sparse, without affecting total phalloidin intensity per cell. When the mucosal protectant irsogladine maleate (100 nM) was added to 50-cm-high culture medium, MDCK cells were reduced in volume and their doubling time shortened. Cell proliferation and morphology are known to be regulated by the Hippo signaling pathway. A pressure load of 50 cm H2O enhanced serine-127 phosphorylation and cytoplasmic retention of YAP, the major constituent of this pathway, suggesting that Hippo pathway was involved in the pressure-induced cell growth suppression. RNA sequencing of MDCK cells showed that a 50 cm H2O pressure load upregulated keratin 14, an intermediate filament, 12-fold. This upregulation was confirmed at the protein level by immunofluorescence, suggesting a role in cytoskeletal reinforcement. These results provide evidence that cell morphology and the cytoskeleton are closely linked to cell growth. Pathological intraluminal pressure elevation may cause mucosal degeneration by acting directly on this linkage and the Hippo pathway.

Abstract
The maturation of intercellular adhesion is an essential process for establishing the signal transduction network in living cells. Although the maturation is naturally considered to enhance the signal transduction, the relationship between the signal transduction and the maturation process has not been revealed in detail using time-course data. Here, using a coculture of mast cells and neurites, differences in maturation between individual cells were estimated as a function of the adhesion strength by our original single-cell measurement method utilizing a laser-induced impulsive force. When an intense femtosecond laser is focused into a culture medium under a microscope, shock and stress waves are generated at the laser focal point that exert an impulsive force on individual cells. In our method, this impulse is used to break the adhesion between a mast cell and a neurite. The magnitude of the impulse is then quantified by a local force-measurement system utilizing an atomic force microscope, and the adhesion strength is estimated from the threshold of the impulse required to break the adhesion. The measurement is conducted within 1 min/cell, and thus, data on the individual differences of the adhesion strength can be obtained within only a few hours. Coculturing of neurites and mast cells for 4 h resulted in a specific adhesion that was stronger than the nonspecific adhesions between the substrate and mast cells. In the time-course investigation, we identified two distinct temporal patterns of adhesion: 1) the strength at 24 h was the same as the initial strength; and 2) the strength increased threefold from baseline and became saturated within 24 h. Based on these results, the distribution of CADM1 adhesion molecules in the neurites was suggested to be inhomogeneous, and the relationship between adhesion maturation and the signal-transduction process was considered.

Abstract
Epithelial carcinomas occasionally have sarcomatous components that consist primarily of spindle and cuboidal cells, which often resemble osteoblasts. Sarcomatoid carcinomas consist of similar cells. Recent studies have characterized these phenomena as a manifestation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition in carcinoma cells, but the mesenchymal phenotypes that manifest in sarcomatous cells of epithelial carcinomas are not well understood. Here, we examined the expression profiles of four osteoblastic differentiation biomarkers in the sarcomatous components of multiple carcinoma types, including five renal clear cell, four breast invasive ductal, two esophageal, one maxillary squamous cell, three larynx, three lung, one liver, and one skin sarcomatoid carcinoma. Expression was analyzed by immunohistochemistry using antibodies against cell adhesion molecule 1, a member of the IgCAM superfamily, osterix transcription factor (Osterix), cluster of differentiation 151, a transmembrane 4 superfamily member, and alkaline phosphatase. Immunostaining intensity was rated in scale 0 (negative), 0.5 (weak), and 1 (strong) for each marker, and the four scale values were summed to calculate osteoblastic scores. In all, 10 cases had a osteoblastic score ≥3, and all of these 10 cases were cell adhesion molecule 1- and Osterix-positive. Eight and five of the nine samples with a osteoblastic score <3 were negative for cell adhesion molecule 1 ( p < 0.0001) and Osterix ( p = 0.006), respectively. The other markers showed no statistical significance. These results indicate that osteoblastic differentiation can occur in carcinoma cells and that cell adhesion molecule 1 could be a useful marker for identifying this phenomenon in carcinoma tissues.

Abstract
Internal pressure is often involved in neurodegeneration; intraocular and intraventricular pressure elevations over 20-30 cmH2O cause glaucoma and hydrocephalus, respectively. Here, we investigated enteric nerve degeneration in colon segments having tumor-induced stenosis and dilation and examined the mechanism of intraluminal pressure involvement. Histological examination revealed that the enteric ganglion neurons and neurites decreased in density in the dilated colons proportionate to the degree of dilation. Western blot analysis for cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1), an immunoglobulin superfamily member expressed in enteric neurons, revealed that ectodomain shedding of CADM1 increased proportionate to colon dilation, with increased production of its C-terminal fragment αCTF, a proapoptotic intracellular molecule. To link these neurodegenerative events to increased intraluminal pressure, we devised a two-chamber culture system wherein cells cultured on a semipermeable membrane were subjected to increased medium height (water pressure up to 50 cmH2O). Mouse dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons were examined for expansion of their neurite networks in this system. As the pressure increased to 15, 30, and 45 cmH2O, the neurites decreased in density and became thinner. In addition, CADM1 shedding increased with more αCTF production. CADM1 immunofluorescence and Mitotracker mitochondrial labeling revealed that as the pressure increased, neuritic CADM1 distribution changed from uniform to punctate staining patterns, and neuritic mitochondria decreased in number and appeared as course particles. These pressure-induced phenotypes were reproduced by exogenous expression of αCTF in standard DRG neuron cultures. Therefore, increases in colonic intraluminal pressure might cause enteric nerve degeneration by inducing CADM1 shedding and αCTF production.

Abstract
Contact between β-cells is necessary for their normal function. Identification of the proteins mediating the effects of β-cell-to-β-cell contact is a necessary step toward gaining a full understanding of the determinants of β-cell function and insulin secretion. The secretory machinery of the β-cells is nearly identical to that of central nervous system (CNS) synapses, and we hypothesize that the transcellular protein interactions that drive maturation of the two secretory machineries upon contact of one cell (or neural process) with another are also highly similar. Two such transcellular interactions, important for both synaptic and β-cell function, have been identified: EphA/ephrin-A and neuroligin/neurexin. Here, we tested the role of another synaptic cleft protein, CADM1, in insulinoma cells and in rat and human islet β-cells. We found that CADM1 is a predominant CADM isoform in β-cells. In INS-1 cells and primary β-cells, CADM1 constrains insulin secretion, and its expression decreases after prolonged glucose stimulation. Using a coculture model, we found that CADM1 also influences insulin secretion in a transcellular manner. We asked whether extracellular CADM1 interactions exert their influence via the same mechanisms by which they influence neurotransmitter exocytosis. Our results suggest that, as in the CNS, CADM1 interactions drive exocytic site assembly and promote actin network formation. These results support the broader hypothesis that the effects of cell-cell contact on β-cell maturation and function are mediated by the same extracellular protein interactions that drive the formation of the presynaptic exocytic machinery. These interactions may be therapeutic targets for reversing β-cell dysfunction in diabetes.

Abstract
The major feature of the human pancreatic islet architecture is the organization of endocrine cells into clusters comprising central β cells and peripheral α cells surrounded by vasculature. To have an insight into the mechanisms that govern this unique islet architecture, islet cells were isolated, and reaggregation of α and β cells into islet-like structures (pseudoislets) after culture or transplantation into mice was studied by immunohistology. The pseudoislets formed in culture displayed an unusual cell arrangement, contrasting with the transplanted pseudoislets, which exhibited a cell arrangement similar to that observed in native pancreatic islet subunits. The pattern of revascularization and the distribution of extracellular matrix around transplanted pseudoislets were alike to those observed in native pancreatic islets. This organization of transplanted pseudoislets occurred also when revascularization was abolished by treating mice with an anti-VEGF antibody, but not when contact with extracellular matrix was prevented by encapsulation of pseudoislets within alginate hydrogel. These results indicate that the maintenance of islet cell arrangement is dependent on in vivo features such as extracellular matrix but independent of vascularization.

Abstract
Cell adhesion mediated by adhesion molecules is of central importance in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Therefore, altered expression of adhesion molecules leads to the development of various tissue disorders involving cell activation, degeneration, and apoptosis. Nevertheless, it still remains unclear what initiates the altered expression of adhesion molecules and how the subsequent pathological cascades proceed. In this regard, cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1) is one of the candidates that is involved in the development of pathological lesions; it is an intercellular adhesion molecule that is expressed in various types of cells such as pulmonary cells, neurons, and mast cells. Recent studies have revealed that alterations in the transcriptional or post-transcriptional expressions of CADM1 correlate with the pathogenesis of pulmonary diseases and allergic diseases. In this review, we specifically focus on how CADM1 is involved in the development of pathological lesions in pulmonary emphysema and atopic dermatitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung alveolar epithelial cell (AEC) apoptosis has attracted attention as an early pathogenic event in the development of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP); however, the causative mechanism remains unclear. Cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1) is an AEC adhesion molecule in the immunoglobulin superfamily. It generates a membrane-associated C-terminal fragment, αCTF, through protease-mediated ectodomain shedding, termed α-shedding. Increased CADM1 α-shedding contributes to AEC apoptosis in emphysematous lungs. METHODS Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded lung lobes (n = 39) from 36 autopsied patients with IIP were classified as acute IIP (n = 10), fibrosing-type nonspecific IIP (f-NSIP, n = 10), cryptogenic organizing IIP (n = 9), and usual IIP (n = 10). CADM1 expression in the lung sections was examined by western blotting and compared with control lungs (n = 10). The rate of CADM1 α-shedding was calculated as the relative amount of αCTF to full-length CADM1, and the full-length CADM1 level was estimated per epithelial cell by normalization to cytokeratin 7, a lung epithelial marker. Apoptotic AECs were detected by immunohistochemistry for single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). NCI-H441 and A549 human lung epithelial cells were transfected with small interfering RNA (siRNA) to silence CADM1 expression and analyzed by terminal nucleotide nick end labeling assays. RESULTS The rate of CADM1 α-shedding was higher in all IIP subtypes than in the control (P ≤ 0.019), and the full-length CADM1 level was lower in f-NSIP (P = 0.007). The α-shedding rate and full-length CADM1 level were correlated with each other (P = 0.015) and with the proportion of ssDNA-positive AECs (P ≤ 0.024). NCI-H441 cells transfected with siRNA exhibited a 61 % lower rate of expression of full-length CADM1 and a 17-fold increased proportion of apoptotic cells. Similar results were obtained with A549 cells. CONCLUSIONS CADM1 α-shedding appeared to be increased in all four IIP subtypes and consequently contributed to AEC apoptosis by decreasing the full-length CADM1 level. This mechanism particularly impacted f-NSIP. The molecular mechanism causing AEC apoptosis may be similar between IIP and emphysema.

Abstract
Pulmonary emphysema and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), both caused by lifestyle factors, frequently concur. Respectively, the diseases affect lung alveolar and pancreatic islet cells, which express cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1), an immunoglobulin superfamily member. Protease-mediated ectodomain shedding of full-length CADM1 produces C-terminal fragments (CTFs) with proapoptotic activity. In emphysematous lungs, the CADM1 shedding rate and thus the level of CTFs in alveolar cells increase. In this study, CADM1 expression in islet cells was examined by western blotting. Protein was extracted from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections of pancreata isolated from patients with T2DM (n = 12) or from patients without pancreatic disease (n = 8) at autopsy. After adjusting for the number of islet cells present in the adjacent section, we found that full-length CADM1 decreased in T2DM islets, while ectodomain shedding increased. Hemoglobin A1c levels, measured when patients were alive, correlated inversely with full-length CADM1 levels (P = 0.041) and positively with ectodomain shedding rates (P = 0.001). In immunofluorescence images of T2DM islet cells, CADM1 was detected in the cytoplasm, but not on the cell membrane. Consistently, when MIN6-m9 mouse beta cells were treated with phorbol ester and trypsin to induce shedding, CADM1 immunostaining was diffuse in the cytoplasm. When a form of CTFs was exogenously expressed in MIN6-m9 cells, it localized diffusely in the cytoplasm and increased the number of apoptotic cells. These results suggest that increased CADM1 ectodomain shedding contributes to blood glucose dysregulation in T2DM by decreasing full-length CADM1 and producing CTFs that accumulate in the cytoplasm and promote apoptosis of beta cells. Thus, this study has identified a molecular alteration shared by pulmonary emphysema and T2DM.

Abstract
Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is more frequently lymph node positive than is invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), and ILC cell infiltration shows distinctive histological characteristics, suggesting the action of ILC-specific invasion molecules. To identify such a molecule, we used a proteomic approach in the pseudopodia of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. A pseudopodial constituent was identified using excimer laser ablation, two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis, mass spectroscopy, and immunocytofluorescence. MDA-MB-231 cells were modified to express various levels of this constituent by transient transfection and were examined for pseudopodia formation and migratory abilities using wound healing and two-chamber assays. Immunohistochemical positivity of human breast cancer cells (56 ILCs and 21 IDCs) was compared with clinicopathological variables. An actin-binding adaptor protein, α-parvin, was found to localize to pseudopodia and to form focal adhesions in cells not induced to extend pseudopodia. Pseudopodial length and density and migratory abilities correlated with α-parvin expression. Twenty-one (37.5 %) ILCs stained positive for α-parvin, whereas the results were negative for all 21 IDCs (P < 0.001). α-Parvin positivity in ILC was significantly associated with lymphatic invasion (P = 0.038) and lymph node metastasis (P = 0.003) in univariate analyses and to lymph node metastasis (P = 0.020) in multivariate analyses. α-Parvin, a pseudopodial constituent, was found to promote migration of breast cancer cells and to be expressed exclusively by ILC, suggesting that α-parvin is an ILC-specific invasion molecule that may have clinical utility as a biomarker for aggressive subsets of ILC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuroimmunological disorders are involved in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD), partly through enhanced sensory nerve-skin mast cell interaction. Cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1) is a mast-cell adhesion molecule that mediates the adhesion to, and communication with, sympathetic nerves. OBJECTIVES To investigate the role of mast cell CADM1 in the pathogenesis of AD, CADM1 expression levels by comparing between lesional and nonlesional skin mast cells of an AD mouse model, which was developed by repeated application of trinitrochlorobenzene, and to examine, in cocultures, how the alterations in CADM1 detected in lesional mast cells might affect the sensory nerve-mast cell interaction. METHODS AD-like lesional and nonlesional skin mast cells were collected separately by laser capture microdissection. CADM1 expression was examined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and CADM1 immunohistochemistry. In cocultures, adhesion between dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurites and IC2 mast cells was analysed by loading a femtosecond laser-induced impulsive force on neurite-attendant IC2 cells, while cellular communication was monitored as the IC2 cellular response ([Ca(2+)]i increase) after nerve-specific stimulant-induced DRG activation. RESULTS AD-like lesional mast cells expressed three-fold more CADM1 transcripts than nonlesional cells. This was supported at the protein level, shown by immunohistochemistry. In coculture, CADM1 overexpression in IC2 cells strengthened DRG neurite-IC2 cell adhesion and doubled the population of IC2 cells responding to DRG activation. A function-blocking anti-CADM1 antibody abolished these effects in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSIONS Increased expression of CADM1 in mast cells appeared to be a cause of enhanced sensory nerve-mast cell interaction in a hapten-induced mouse model of AD.

Abstract
AIMS An immunohistochemical screen for mouse embryos showed that cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1), which is an immunoglobulin superfamily member, was expressed in developing bones. Here, we determined the cell types expressing CADM1 and examined its usefulness in the differential diagnosis of osteosarcoma. MAIN METHODS Serial sections of murine developing mandibles were stained with anti-CADM1 antibody, by a coloring substrate reactive to alkaline phosphatase (ALP), a broad osteoblastic marker for preosteoblasts to osteoblasts, and by in situ hybridization for osteopontin (OPN), a marker for mature osteoblasts. CADM1 immunohistochemistry was also performed on human remodeling bones, osteosarcomas and other soft tissue tumors. KEY FINDINGS CADM1 immunohistochemistry for the mandible revealed that morphologically identifiable osteoblasts expressed CADM1 on their plasma membranes, but neither osteocytes nor bone lining cells did. At the mandibular margin, not only OPN-positive cells but also OPN-negative, ALP-positive cells were CADM1-positive, whereas inside the mandible, OPN-positive cells were often CADM1-negative. Clear membranous staining was detected in the majority of osteosarcomas (46/57), whereas only 13% (6/46) of the other soft tissue tumors were CADM1-positive (P<0.001). SIGNIFICANCE These results indicated that CADM1 was a novel osteoblastic adhesion molecule that is expressed transiently during osteoblastic maturation, and a useful diagnostic marker for osteosarcoma cells.

Abstract
Recent studies have revealed that signals from neural crest (NC) derivatives regulate the mass, proliferation, and maturation of beta cells in developing fetal pancreas. However, little is known about the cellular distribution of NC derivatives during pancreatic development or the process whereby the developing islets are enclosed. We studied the temporal and spatial distribution of NC derivatives and endocrine cells at each developmental stage. At embryonic day 10.5 (E10.5) of mouse embryo, NC derivatives that migrated to the prospective pancreatic region were distributed in close proximity to pancreatic epithelial cells. As development advanced, most NC derivatives progressively surrounded endocrine rather than exocrine cells, and were distributed in closer proximity to alpha cells rather than to beta cells. At E20, approximately 70% of the NC derivatives enclosing endocrine cells were distributed in close proximity to alpha cells. Moreover, the expression of SynCAM, a Ca(2+)-independent homophilic trans-cell adhesion molecule, was confirmed from E16.5 on and was more remarkable at the cell boundaries of alpha cells and NC derivatives. These findings suggest that NC derivatives might be distributed in close proximity to alpha cells as a result of homophilic binding of SynCAM expressed by alpha cells and NC derivatives during islet development.

Abstract
Nerve fibers innervate every organ of the body and are involved in monitoring changes of the external and internal environment. Innervation directly controls a variety of physiological responses in an adaptive manner. Today, many lines of research indicate that also the immunological response is influenced by the nervous system and that nerve and immune cells directly interact through intercellular signal transduction by cytokines, neurotransmitters, and neuropeptides. For instance, mast cells are often found in close proximity of nerve fibers containing substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide, two widely studied sensory neuropeptides, in a variety of tissues. To investigate the molecular mechanism of the direct functional interplay between nerve and immune cells, we have studied their communication using an in vitro coculture system and confocal microscopy. Here, we introduce methods for the in vitro coculture of nerve and immune cells and the imaging analysis of cellular activation, and discuss soluble mediators and adhesion molecules involved in the neuroimmune interaction. Improvement of our understanding of neuropeptide functions on these issues would lead to new therapeutic modalities for diseases based on neuroimmune interaction such as neurogenic inflammation, intestinal bowel diseases, asthma, and autoimmune disorders.

Abstract
Cell adhesion molecule-1 (CADM1) is a recently identified adhesion molecule of pancreatic islet α-cells that mediates nerve-α-cell interactions via trans-homophilic binding and serves anatomical units for the autonomic control of glucagon secretion. CADM1 also mediates attachment between adjacent α-cells. Since gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) among islet cells is essential for islet hormone secretion, we examined whether CADM1 promotes GJIC among α-cells and subsequently participates in glucagon secretion regulation. Dye transfer assays using αTC6 mouse α-cells, which endogenously express CADM1, supported this possibility; efficient cell-to-cell spread of gap junction-permeable dye was detected in clusters of αTC6 cells transfected with nonspecific, but not with CADM1-targeting, siRNA. Immunocytochemical analysis of connexin 36, a major component of the gap junction among αTC6 cells, revealed that it was localized exclusively to the cell membrane in CADM1-non-targeted αTC6 cells, but diffusely to the cytoplasm in CADM1-targeted cells. Next, we incubated CADM1-targeted and non-targeted αTC6 cells in a medium containing 1 mM glucose and 200 mM arginine for 30 min to induce glucagon secretion, and found that the targeted cells secreted three times more glucagon than did the non-targeted. We conducted similar experiments using pancreatic islets that were freshly isolated from wild-type and CADM1-knockout mice, and expressed glucagon secretion as ratios relative to baseline values. The increase in ratio was larger in CADM1-knockout islets than in wild-type islets. These results suggest that CADM1 may serve as a volume limiter of glucagon secretion by sustaining α-cell attachment necessary for efficient GJIC.

Abstract
Close apposition of nerve and mast cells is viewed as a functional unit of neuro-immune mechanisms, and it is sustained by trans-homophilic binding of cell adhesion molecule-1 (CADM1), an Ig superfamily member. Cerebral nerve-mast cell interaction might be developmentally modulated, because the alternative splicing pattern of four (a-d) types of CADM1 transcripts drastically changed during development of the mouse cerebrum: developing cerebrums expressed CADM1b and CADM1c exclusively, while mature cerebrums expressed CADM1d additionally and predominantly. To probe how individual isoforms are involved in nerve-mast cell interaction, Neuro2a neuroblastoma cells that express CADM1c endogenously were modified to express additionally either CADM1b (Neuro2a-CADM1b) or CADM1d (Neuro2a-CADM1d), and they were cocultured with mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) and BMMC-derived cell line IC-2 cells, both of which expressed CADM1c. BMMCs were found to adhere to Neuro2a-CADM1d neurites more firmly than to Neuro2a-CADM1b neurites when the adhesive strengths were estimated from the femtosecond laser-induced impulsive forces minimally required for detaching BMMCs. GFP-tagging and crosslinking experiments revealed that the firmer adhesion site consisted of an assembly of CADM1d cis-homodimers. When Neuro2a cells were specifically activated by histamine, intracellular Ca(2+) concentration was increased in 63 and 38% of CADM1c-expressing IC-2 cells that attached to the CADM1d assembly site and elsewhere, respectively. These results indicate that CADM1d is a specific neuronal isoform that enhances nerve-mast cell interaction, and they suggest that nerve-mast cell interaction may be reinforced as the brain grows mature because CADM1d becomes predominant.

Abstract
When a femtosecond laser pulse (fsLP) is focused through an objective lens into a culture medium, an impulsive force (fsLP-IF) is generated that propagates from the laser focal point (O(f)) in a micron-sized space. This force can detach individual adherent cells without causing considerable cell damage. In this study, an fsLP-IF was reflected in the vibratory movement of an atomic force microscopy (AFM) cantilever. Based on the magnitude of the vibration and the geometrical relationship between O(f) and the cantilever, the fsLP-IF generated at O(f) was calculated as a unit of impulse [N-s]. This impulsive force broke adhesion molecule-mediated intercellular interactions in a manner that depended on the adhesion strength that was estimated by the cell aggregation assay. The force also broke the interactions between streptavidin-coated microspheres and a biotin-coated substrate with a measurement error of approximately 7%. These results suggest that fsLP-IF can be used to break intermolecular and intercellular interactions and estimate the adhesion strength. The fsLP-IF was used to break intercellular contacts in two biologically relevant cultures: a coculture of leukocytes seeded over on an endothelial cell monolayer, and a polarized monolayer culture of epithelial cells. The impulses needed to break leukocyte-endothelial and interepithelial interactions, which were calculated based on the geometrical relationship between O(f) and the adhesive interface, were on the order of 10(-13) and 10(-12) N-s, respectively. When the total impulse at O(f) is well-defined, fsLP-IF can be used to estimate the force required to break intercellular adhesions in a noncontact manner under biologically relevant conditions.

Abstract
Human islets of Langerhans are complex micro-organs responsible for maintaining glucose homeostasis. Islets contain five different endocrine cell types, which react to changes in plasma nutrient levels with the release of a carefully balanced mixture of islet hormones into the portal vein. Each endocrine cell type is characterized by its own typical secretory granule morphology, different peptide hormone content, and specific endocrine, paracrine, and neuronal interactions. During development, a cascade of transcription factors determines the formation of the endocrine pancreas and its constituting islet cell types. Differences in ontogeny between the ventrally derived head section and the dorsally derived head, body, and tail section are responsible for differences in innervation, blood supply, and endocrine composition. Islet cells show a close topographical relationship to the islet vasculature, and are supplied with a five to tenfold higher blood flow than the exocrine compartment. Islet microanatomy is disturbed in patients with type 1 diabetes, with a marked reduction in beta-cell content and the presence of inflammatory infiltrates. Histopathological lesions in type 2 diabetes are less pathognomonic with a more limited reduction in beta-cell content and occasional deposition of amyloid in the islet interstitial space.

Abstract
Cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1), an immunoglobulin superfamily member, is expressed on superior cervical ganglion neurites and mediates cell-cell adhesion by trans-homophilic binding. In addition to the membrane-bound form, we have previously shown that a soluble form (sCADM1) generated by alternative splicing possesses a stop codon immediately downstream of the immunoglobulin-like domain. Here, we demonstrate the presence of sCADM1 in vivo and its possible role in neurite extension. sCADM1 appears to be a stromal protein because extracellular-restricted, but not intracellular-restricted, anti-CADM1 antibody stained stromal protein-rich extract from mouse brains. Murine plasmacytoma cells, P3U1, were modified to secrete sCADM1 fused with either immunoglobulin (Ig)G Fc portion (sCADM1-Fc) or its deletion form that lacks the immunoglobulin-like domain (DeltasCADM1-Fc). When P3U1 derivatives expressing sCADM1-Fc or DeltasCADM1-Fc were implanted into collagen gels, Fc-fused proteins were present more abundantly around the cells. Superior cervical ganglion neurons, parental P3U1, and either derivative were implanted into collagen gels separately, and co-cultured for 4 days. Bodian staining of the gel sections revealed that most superior cervical ganglion neurites turned toward the source of sCADM1-Fc, but not DeltasCADM1-Fc. Furthermore, immunofluorescence signals for sCADM1-Fc and membrane-bound CADM1 were co-localized on the neurite surface. These results show that sCADM1 appears to be involved in directional neurite extension by serving as an anchor to which membrane-bound CADM1 on the neurites can bind.

Abstract
Mast cells are a native composer of connective tissue of the skin dermis and intestinal and respiratory mucosa. Independent lines of accumulated evidence indicate the existence of an intensive bidirectional crosstalk between mast cells and sensory nerves and suggest that mast cells and sensory nerves may be viewed as a functional unit, which could be of crucial importance in neuroimmunological pathways. Mast cells appear to have a property of influencing smooth muscle function via not only such nerve-mast cell effects, but also direct pathways. In bronchial asthma, mast cells infiltrate the airway smooth muscle layer, and interact directly with smooth muscle cells, suggesting pathogenic roles for mast cells in airway obstruction. Current studies on mast cell biology identified a novel adhesion molecule of mast cells, namely cell adhesion molecule-1, CADM1. This molecule is unique, because it serves as not only simple glue but also appears to promote functional communication between nerve and mast cells and between smooth muscle and mast cells.
