Cadherin 26 is an alpha integrin-binding epithelial receptor regulated during allergic inflammation.


ABSTRACT: Cadherins (CDH) mediate diverse processes critical in inflammation, including cell adhesion, migration, and differentiation. Herein, we report that the uncharacterized cadherin 26 (CDH26) is highly expressed by epithelial cells in human allergic gastrointestinal tissue. In vitro, CDH26 promotes calcium-dependent cellular adhesion of cells lacking endogenous CDHs by a mechanism involving homotypic binding and interaction with catenin family members (alpha, beta, and p120), as assessed by biochemical assays. Additionally, CDH26 enhances cellular adhesion to recombinant integrin ?4?7 in vitro; conversely, recombinant CDH26 binds ?E and ?4 integrins in biochemical and cellular functional assays, respectively. Interestingly, CDH26-Fc inhibits activation of human CD4+ T cells in vitro including secretion of IL-2. Taken together, we have identified a novel functional CDH regulated during allergic responses with unique immunomodulatory properties, as it binds ?4 and ?E integrins and regulates leukocyte adhesion and activation, and may thus represent a novel checkpoint for immune regulation and therapy via CDH26-Fc.
