Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Hemidesmosomes are one of the cell-extracellular matrix junctions. However, the molecular mechanisms that regulate disassembly and reorganization of hemidesmosomes still remain unclear. In this study, we found that 1) Necl-4 serves as a tumor suppressor by inhibiting the ErbB2/ErbB3 signaling and hemidesmosome disassembly and 2) Necl-4 serves as a regulator for contact inhibition of cell movement and proliferation cooperatively with the VEGF receptor and PTPN13.
