Abstract (original English)
T-cadherin, a non-canonical member of the cadherin superfamily, was initially identified for its involvement in homophilic recognition within the nervous and vascular systems. Apart from its adhesive function, T-cadherin acts as a receptor for two ligands: LDL, contributing to atherogenic processes, and HMW adiponectin, a hormone with well-known cardiovascular protective properties. However, the precise role of T-cadherin in adipose tissue remains elusive. Previously, we generated Cdh13 ∆Exon3 mice lacking exon 3 in the Cdh13 gene, which encodes the T-cadherin protein, and characterized their phenotype. Using wild-type (WT) and T-cadherin-deficient mice (Cdh13ΔExon3), we isolated and cultured mesenchymal stem cells to explore the role of T-cadherin in adipogenic differentiation. The experimental approaches employed include culturing cells under standard or adipogenic conditions, performing Oil Red O and Nile Red staining followed by quantitative analysis, conducting rescue experiments to reintroduce T-cadherin using lentiviral constructs in T-cadherin-deficient cells combined with automated adipocyte differentiation quantification via a neural network. Additionally, Western blotting, ELISA assays, and statistical analysis were utilized to verify the results. In this study, we demonstrate for the first time that T-cadherin influences the adipogenic differentiation of MSCs. The p
