Epithelial integrity relies on the correct distribution and activity of the actomyosin cytoskeleton to maintain cell shape and junctional adhesion during homeostasis, and even more importantly, under stress. The actomyosin apparatus is regulated by many different signalling pathways targeting either the actin dynamics or myosin activation, one of which is dependent on the small GTPase RhoA. EpCAM (Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule) was primarily described as a Ca2+-independent cell-cell adhesion molecule that is specific of epithelia, although recent analyses tend to challenge this statement. In this work, we report the involvement of EpCAM in epithelial contractility regulation and its importance for the maintenance of cell polarity. In a ...
