Background

ADAM metallopeptidase domain 23(ADAM23) is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein encoded by ADAM23 gene, belonging to ADAM family, which has restricted expression characteristics in brain tissue, mainly distributed in mature neurons and glial precursor cells of central nervous system, and located in neuronal cell membrane and synaptic membrane structure. Different from other ADAM family members with typical proteolytic activity, ADAM23's metalloprotease domain is inactivated, but it retains the intact adhesion structure of disintegrin region and cysteine-rich, has no substrate shearing ability, and only specifically regulates the intercellular adhesion process. In the physiological stage of neural development, stably expressed ADAM23 can mediate the homologous adhesion of neurons and support the extension of neurites, the remodeling of dendrites and the formation of immature synaptic structures during brain development. However, in malignant glioma lesions, the silencing of ADAM23 transcription level will release the adhesion between cells and significantly accelerate the migration of tumor cells and the invasion of brain tissue. ADAM23's unique neuron-specific adhesion regulation can't be compensated by other ADAM proteases. Knock-out of this gene will lead to neural circuit assembly defects and increase the susceptibility to epilepsy. Restoring ADAM23's expression can effectively inhibit the invasion phenotype of glioma, making it an indispensable core research target for neural development mechanism and targeted screening of brain tumors.

ADAM23 executes neuron-specific adhesive regulatory function anchored to neuronal lipid bilayers, utilizing intact disintegrin and cysteine-rich extracellular domains to mediate homotypic intercellular neuron crosslinking. Its inactive protease domain clearly separates ADAM23 from catalytic ADAM family members, removing shedding capacity to specialize in cell adhesion control. ADAM23-mediated cell-cell tethering links embryonic neural progenitor differentiation to adult brain circuit stability, balancing neurite growth and tumor invasive potential according to cellular malignant status. ADAM23 participates in cortical neurogenesis, synaptic assembly and high-grade glioma progression control. Loss of functional ADAM23 disrupts ordered neuronal network construction and releases glioma migratory capacity. Therefore, ADAM23 represents a pivotal research target for neural ADAM protein study and anti-glioma therapeutic exploration.

ADAM23 Protein Function: Core Roles in Neuronal Homotypic Adhesion and Neural Circuit Tuning

The biological functions of ADAM23 are fully focused on neuron homotypic crosslinking and neurite growth regulation:

  • Disintegrin-Mediated Adhesion: Utilizes extracellular disintegrin domain to drive homotypic neuronal cell binding.
  • Neurite Outgrowth Control: Stabilizes interneuron contacts to support ordered dendritic arborization.
  • Brain Circuit Homeostasis: Maintains mature neural network integrity under physiological brain conditions.
  • Glioma Suppressive Modulation: Downregulation releases invasive migratory capacity of glioma cells.
  • Disease Relevance: ADAM23 loss disrupts neurodevelopment and promotes malignant brain tumor invasion.
