Tumoral cells as leucocytes get through the vascular endothelium across adherens junctions, mainly composed of VE-cadherin. This transmigration process disturbs transiently the junctions, impairing so the endothelium integrity.To understand the mechanisms leading to the opening of adherens junctions, we first determined the proteic composition of the VE-cadherin-based complex of primary endothelial cell (HUVEC) mature adherens junctions. To do so, we developed a method coupling immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis (LC-nanoESI-MS/MS). Partners of VE-cadherin, so far unknown such as annexin 2 and moesin, were so identified.Our results demonstrated that, in confluent HUVECs, the VE-cadherin-based complex interacts...
