Stem cells as source for retinal pigment epithelium transplantation
2014, Progress in Retinal and Eye ResearchCitation Excerpt :The nucleus and mitochondria are found at the basal side of RPE cells and pigmented melanosomes are transferred to the apical zone where they orient parallel to the incoming light. During differentiation, adherens junctions form among adjacent cells and are mediated by cadherins, namely cadherin 2 (N-cadherin) and cadherin 3 (P-cadherin) (Burke et al., 1999; Lagunowich and Grunwald, 1989; Murphy-Erdosh et al., 1994). Formation of adherens junctions is followed by the formation of circumferential bundles of actin filaments to build zonula adherens junctions (Nabi et al., 1993; Owaribe and Masuda, 1982; Williams and Rizzolo, 1997).
Epithelial phenotype and the RPE: Is the answer blowing in the Wnt?
2008, Progress in Retinal and Eye ResearchCitation Excerpt :However, E-cadherin is not the dominant cadherin of the RPE AJ, which is unusual for a monolayer epithelial cell type. For many years the RPE was believed to lack E-cadherin entirely (Gundersen et al., 1993; Huotari et al., 1995; Marrs et al., 1995), expressing instead B-, R-, P- and N-cadherin at various times during development and in various species (Huotari et al., 1995; Lagunowich and Grunwald, 1989, 1991; Liu et al., 1997; Murphy-Erdosh et al., 1994; Xu et al., 2002). For RPE cells in culture, including RPE cells from human donors (Burke et al., 1999; McKay et al., 1997; Rak et al., 2006; Van Aken et al., 2003), the dominant cadherin is N-cadherin.
Cadherin-mediated cell adhesion and tissue segregation: Qualitative and quantitative determinants

2003, Current Topics in Developmental BiologyCitation Excerpt :In general, expression of serrate1, BEN, NCAM, and N-cadherin is maintained in regions of the epithelium that will develop as sensory patches (Richardson et al., 1987; Raphael et al., 1988; Adam et al., 1998; Goodyear et al., 2001). In contrast, E-cadherin and B-cadherin expression is downregulated in developing sensory patches but is maintained in regions that will develop as nonsensory regions (Raphael et al., 1988; Murphy-Erdosh et al., 1994). The patterns of expression for jagged1 (the mammalian homolog of serrate1), NCAM, N-cadherin, and E-cadherin appear similar in the mouse otocyst, although existing data for early time points are very limited (Nose and Takeichi, 1986; Terkelson et al., 1989; Kimura et al., 1995; Morrison et al., 1999).
Cadherins in the central nervous system
2000, Progress in NeurobiologyCitation Excerpt :The pigmented retina expresses at least three cadherins at different (but overlapping) times of development. B-cadherin and N-cadherin immunoreactivity (Inuzuka et al., 1991a; Murphy-Erdosh et al., 1994; Redies and Müller, 1994) is strongest at earlier stages of development while R-cadherin expression sets in at later stages (Inuzuka et al., 1991b; Liu et al., 1997). Like in the retina, multiple cadherins are expressed in the developing and differentiated optic tectum of the chicken, with each tectal layer showing a characteristic cadherin expression profile (Redies et al., 1993; Yamagata et al., 1995; Arndt and Redies, 1996; Inoue and Sanes, 1997; Miskevich et al., 1998; Wöhrn et al., 1999).
