Cadherin-11 is a classic cadherin adhesion molecule that mediates homophilic cell-to-cell adhesion. Cadherin-11 is involved in the function of embryonic development, tissue morphogenesis, tumor invasion and metastasis, and signal transduction. This review summarizes the function of cadherin-11 in synovial joint formation and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), including its relative function with bone and cartilage development and growth plate, synovial, and tendon formation. The role of cadherin-11 in RA is also discussed, both in fibroblasts inflammation and fibroblast-like synoviocyte (FLSs) migration and invasion. The potential of anti-cadherin-11 therapy for RA is introduced in comparison with the other current RA therapies.
钙黏蛋白 11 是一种经典的钙黏蛋白黏附分子,介导同质细胞间的黏附。钙黏蛋白 11 参与胚胎发育、组织形态发生、肿瘤侵袭和转移以及信号转导等功能。本综述总结了钙黏蛋白 11 在滑膜关节形成和类风湿关节炎(RA)中的作用,包括其与骨和软骨发育以及生长板、滑膜和肌腱形成的相对功能。还讨论了钙黏蛋白 11 在 RA 中的作用,包括成纤维细胞炎症以及成纤维样滑膜细胞(FLS)迁移和侵袭。并与其他当前的 RA 治疗方法相比,介绍了抗钙黏蛋白 11 治疗 RA 的潜力。
