Outline of Final Research Achievements

The roles and modes of action of nectins in heterotypic cell-cell adhesions were investigated. We identified a novel cell adhesion apparatus formed by the heterophilic trans-interaction between nectin-4 and nectin-1, which were expressed in the luminal and basal cells in the mammary gland, respectively. Nectin-4 in this apparatus enhanced the prolactin receptor signaling. Moreover, we showed that nectin-2 and nectin-3 expressed in olfactory and supporting cells, respectively, interacted in trans and recruited cadherin to the heterotypic cell junctions, resulting in the formation of the mosaic pattern in the olfactory epithelium. Further, we showed that nectin-2δ was localized on the plasma membranes of astrocytic perivascular endfoot processes facing the basement membrane of blood vessels in the brain. Genetic ablation of nectin-2 caused degeneration of the astrocytic perivascular endfoot processes and neurons, indicating that nectin- 2 is required to maintain the brain structures.
