TMEM97 governs partial epithelial-mesenchymal transition of retinal pigment epithelial cells via the CTNND2-ADAM10 axis by Jing Li, Yosuke Nagasaka, Hongtao Shen, Xinyu Zhou, Jianjie Ma, Dilza Trevisan-Silva, Nicholas E. Sherman, Jayakrishna Ambati, Bradley D. Gelfand, Lian-Wang Guo

“…Furthermore, TMEM97 negatively regulated CTNND2 protein (catenin δ-2), but not the known EMT driver β-catenin, and CTNND2 was found to promote ADAM10, which sustains both E- and N-cadherin protein levels. These findings identify TMEM97 as a novel regulator of RPE-cell pEMT through the CTNND2-ADAM10 axis, highlighting potential new targets for therapeutic intervention in RPE-related pathophysiology.…”
