Exploratory experiment designed to discover new patterns targeting CDH5 in lymphatic endothelial cells. Primary outcome: identification of VE-cadherin protein interactors
This study employed proximity proteomics to systematically identify and characterize the protein interactome of vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin in lymphatic endothelial cells. The researchers investigated how the VE-cadherin interactome changes during junctional reorganization from discontinuous to continuous junctions, which was triggered by the lymphangiogenic factor adrenomedullin. The proximity proteomics approach allowed for the identification of both direct and indirect protein interactions within the spatial vicinity of VE-cadherin, providing insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying adherens junction remodeling in lymphatic vessels. The study revealed novel interactors including components involved in protein trafficking and recycling pathways.
