Upregulation and redistribution of cadherins reveal specific glial and muscle cell phenotypes during wallerian degeneration and muscle denervation in the mouse.

Abstract excerpt

In the present work, we investigated the expression of cadherin mRNAs in the adult neuromuscular system either under normal conditions or following experimental neurotomy. Cadherin-6, a marker of Schwann cell precursors, was not expressed in the adult peripheral nerve, while M-cadherin, cadherin-11, and N-cadherin were expressed both by glial and conjunctive cells. Moreover, the three transcripts were transiently...
