Alveolar epithelial type 2 cells (AEC2) isolated from hyperoxia-treated animals exhibit increases in both proliferation and DNA damage in response to culture. AEC2 express the zonula adherens proteins E-cadherin, -, - and -catenin, desmoglein, and pp120, as demonstrated by Western blotting. Immunohistochemical analysis of cultured AEC2 showed expression of E-cadherin on cytoplasmic membranes varying from strongly to weakly staining. When cultured AEC2 placed in suspension were labeled with fluorescent-tagged antibodies to E-cadherin, cells could be sorted into at least two subpopulations, either dim or brightly staining for this marker. With the use of antibody to E-cadherin bound to magnetic beads, cells were physically separated into E-cadherin-positive and -negative subpopulations, which were then analyzed for differences in proliferation and DNA damage. The E-cadherin-positive subpopulation contained the majority of damaged cells, was quiescent, and expressed low levels of telomerase activity, whereas the E-cadherin-negative subpopulation was undamaged, proliferative, and expressed high levels of telomerase activity.

D015820 Cadherins Calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. They are important in the formation of ADHERENS JUNCTIONS between cells. Cadherins are classified by their distinct immunological and tissue specificities, either by letters (E- for epithelial, N- for neural, and P- for placental cadherins) or by numbers (cadherin-12 or N-cadherin 2 for brain-cadherin). Cadherins promote cell adhesion via a homophilic mechanism as in the construction of tissues and of the whole animal body.
