The Tight-Junction Protein Claudin-6 Induces Epithelial Differentiation from Mouse F9 and Embryonic Stem Cells
During epithelialization, cell adhesions and polarity must be established to maintain tissue assemblies and separate the biological compartments in the body. However, the molecular basis of epithelial morphogenesis, in particular, a role of cell adhesion molecules in epithelial differentiation from...

description | During epithelialization, cell adhesions and polarity must be established to maintain tissue assemblies and separate the biological compartments in the body. However, the molecular basis of epithelial morphogenesis, in particular, a role of cell adhesion molecules in epithelial differentiation from stem cells, remains unclear. Here, we show that the stable and conditional expression of a tight-junction protein, claudin-6 (Cldn6), triggers epithelial morphogenesis in mouse F9 stem cells. We also demonstrate that Cldn6 induces the expression of other tight-junction and microvillus molecules including Cldn7, occludin, ZO-1α+, and ezrin/radixin/moesin-binding phosphoprotein50. These events were inhibited by attenuation of Cldn6 using RNA interference or the C-terminal half of Clostridium Perfringens enterotoxin. Furthermore, similar results were obtained in mouse embryonic stem cells. Thus, we have uncovered that the Cldn6 functions as a novel cue to induce epithelial differentiation. |
