Abstract

Cadherins and integrins are intrinsically linked through the actin cytoskeleton and share common signaling molecules. Although mechanosensing by the integrin–actin axis has long been appreciated, a growing body of literature now demonstrates that cadherins also transduce and respond to mechanical forces. Mounting evidence shows that mechanically driven crosstalk between integrins and cadherins regulates the spatial distribution of these receptors, their signaling intermediates, the actin cytoskeleton and intracellular forces. This interplay between integrins and cadherins can control fibronectin matrix assembly and signaling, and a fine balance between traction forces at focal adhesions and intercellular tension at adherens junctions is crucial for directional collective cell migration. In this Commentary, we discuss two central ideas: (1) how the dynamic interplay between integrins and cadherins regulates the spatial organization of intracellular signals and the extracellular matrix, and (2) the emerging consensus that intracellular force is a central mechanism that dictates cell behavior, guides tissue development and ultimately drives physiology.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
