  • Green, mCD8-GFP, labeling LN processes; red, synaptotagmin-HA, a marker for presynaptic terminals; blue, nc82 or N-cadherin staining, highlighting glomerular structures.

  • To determine the functional relevance of these findings, we tested the effects of ERK and PI3K inhibitors on cell proliferation induced by Wnt. As shown in N-cadherin overexpression negatively regulates ERK and PI3K signalling.

  • Finally, we found that the decreased cell survival induced by N-cadherin overexpression was reversed by Wnt and antagonized by PI3K inhibition.

  • Mechanisms by which N-cadherin decreases cell survival.

    PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles Eric Haÿ et al. 2009

  • The altered cell survival induced by N-cadherin overexpression is Wnt - and PI3K/Akt-dependent.

  • Tibias from 1.5 month old female N-cadherin transgenic and wild type mice and primary osteoblasts isolated from calvarias by sequential collagenase digestion were obtained as described
