VE-cadherin (CDH5/7B4) mediates homophilic, calcium-dependent cell aggregation and cell-to-cell adhesion when expressed in transfected CHO cells; it localizes to intercellular junctions where it co-distributes with alpha-catenin, decreases intercellular permeability to high-molecular-weight molecules, and reduces cell migration rate across a wounded area. |

Antibody blockade of VE-cadherin (CD144) in 3D collagen gel cultures impairs endothelial tube formation by inhibiting cell-cell association and reducing vacuole formation or vacuole fusion required for intercellular lumen formation, a role distinct from that of CD31. |

VE-cadherin (CD144) expression in transfected ECV304 cells (which lack endogenous VE-cadherin) recruits beta-catenin to junctional regions, reorganizes F-actin into parallel bundles, enables 3D tube formation, and enforces contact-inhibited monolayer growth with dramatic reduction of cell cycling after confluence — properties absent in CD31 transfectants and empty-vector controls. |

Cdh5 (zebrafish ortholog of CDH5) organizes junctional and cortical actin cytoskeleton to support cell elongation during angiogenic sprouting; loss of cdh5 by null mutation impairs junctional remodeling and cell elongation associated with disorganized actin, and a truncated Cdh5 (lacking intracellular domain) fails to rescue these defects. Pharmacological inhibition of actin polymerization (but not actin-myosin contractility) phenocopies cdh5 mutation. |

In glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs), both HIF1α and HIF2α transcriptionally activate CDH5 under hypoxia by directly binding its promoter (shown by ChIP), and CDH5 expression contributes to vasculogenic mimicry formation by GSCs, especially under hypoxic conditions (shown by CDH5 shRNA knockdown and tube formation assay). |

VEGF-C/VEGFR3 signaling induces VE-cadherin (CDH5) endocytosis and loss of function via SRC-mediated phosphorylation, while VE-cadherin reciprocally prevents VEGFR3 endocytosis required for optimal receptor signaling. Mice with membrane-retained (non-endocytosable) VE-cadherin exhibit defects in sinusoidal and lymphatic vessel growth identical to loss of VEGFR3. Genetic loss of VE-cadherin rescues sinusoidal/lymphatic growth defects caused by VEGFR3 loss (but not VEGF-C loss) by potentiating VEGFR2 signaling. |

IGFBP2 interacts with integrin α5β1 and activates the FAK/ERK pathway to upregulate CDH5 (CD144) expression in glioma cells, promoting vasculogenic mimicry formation. SP1, activated downstream of IGFBP2, binds directly to the CDH5 promoter (shown by luciferase reporter and ChIP assay). |

C1qr (CD93) and C1qrl (Clec14a) redundantly regulate angiogenesis in zebrafish by controlling Cdh5 expression; double mutation of c1qr/c1qrl abolishes Cdh5 from inter-segmental vessel endothelial junctions, and replenishment of Cdh5 rescues the angiogenic defects in double mutants. |

miR-101 represses CDH5 expression by targeting its 3'-UTR in HUVECs, and this suppression mediates promotion of endothelial cell apoptosis and inhibition of cell migration; silencing CDH5 alone recapitulates the pro-apoptotic and anti-migratory effects of miR-101 overexpression. |

TNFα induces hsa-miR-6086 in HUVECs, which in turn downregulates CDH5 expression by targeting it; inhibition of hsa-miR-6086 or exogenous CDH5 re-expression protects HUVECs from TNFα-induced apoptosis and growth inhibition, placing CDH5 as a downstream effector of TNFα/miR-6086 signaling in endothelial cells. |

ANGPTL4 upregulates ETV5 expression in ovarian cancer cells; ETV5 binds the CDH5 promoter region to activate CDH5 transcription; CDH5 in turn activates AKT phosphorylation and upregulates MMP9, promoting angiogenesis and metastasis. CDH5 expression is required for ANGPTL4-driven tumorigenic effects. |
