Cell-matrix and cell-cell adhesion play a central role in the control of cell proliferation, differentiation and gene expression. Integrins and E-cadherin are the key components involved in these processes in epithelial cells. We recently showed that integrin-dependent adhesion to the extracellular matrix reinforces the formation of E-cadherin-actin complexes inducing the polarization of Caco-2 enterocytes and increases the expression of a marker of enterocyte differentiation, the apolipoprotein (apo) A-IV gene. By impairing or enhancing E-cadherin-dependent cell adhesion, we demonstrate in the present study its involvement in the transcriptional activation of apoA-IV gene in Caco-2 cells. This control requires the regulatory sequence that we have previously identified as necessary and sufficient to drive and restrict apoA-IV gene expression in enterocytes in vivo. Furthermore, using chimeric E-cadherin-Fc homophilic ligand coated surfaces, we show that a direct activation of E-cadherin triggers the transcriptional activation of apoA-IV promoter. Finally, E-cadherin-dependent cell-cell adhesion controls the nuclear abundance of the transcription factor HNF-4a, which is involved in the enterocyte-specific expression of apoA-IV gene. Altogether, our results suggest that E-cadherin controls enterocyte-specific expression of genes, such as apoA-IV gene, through the control of HNF-4a nuclear abundance.
