Previous studies have shown that the aging kidney has a marked loss of α(E)-catenin in proximal tubular epithelium. α-Catenin, a key regulator of the actin cytoskeleton, interacts with a variety of actin-binding proteins. Cisplatin-induced loss of fascin2, an actin bundling protein, was observed in cells with a stable knockdown of α(E)-catenin (C2 cells), as well as in aging (24 mon), but not young (4 mon), kidney. Fascin2 co-localized with α-catenin and the actin cytoskeleton in NRK-52E cells. ...[more]
