摘要
A search for novel pancreatic islet cadherins was undertaken using the polymerase chain reaction with mouse betaTC3 cell line cDNA and degenerate primers based on conserved C-terminal sequence in neural (N), epithelial, and placental cadherin (CAD). A hitherto uncharacterized rodent sequence was detected which was then cloned from a mouse insulinoma cDNA library and shown to be the mouse equivalent of chicken retina CAD (R-CAD). The similarity of the mouse and chicken sequences was remarkable (eight nonconservative changes in the 747 amino acids of the mature protein sequence; 95% overall identity), indicating strong conservation of function. Mouse R-CAD was also closely homologous to N-CAD (72% identity), including those regions of N-CAD implicated in the cadherin-cadherin interaction and Ca2+ binding. In vitro translation of the cDNA indicated that mouse R-CAD enters the secretory pathway and undergoes posttranslational glycosylation and proteolytic cleavage. R-CAD mRNA was distributed widely in mouse tissues with high levels present in brain, skeletal muscle, and thymus. In the pancreas, R-CAD and N-CAD showed endocrine cell specificity and a differential expression in beta- and non-beta-cells. Messenger RNA expression was evident during early pancreatic development at a time when the first pluripotent hormone-producing cells differentiate to attain their adult phenotype and become organized in islet-like clusters. The presence of R-CAD and N-CAD in islets is consistent with the neurone-like properties of this tissue. Differences in CAD expression might explain the segregation of exocrine and endocrine cells during development of the pancreas and the characteristic morphological distribution of the different endocrine cells within the islet.
