Preface The acronym CCN previously stood for Cyr61/CCN1, CTGF/CCN2, and Nov/CCN3, which are the three original members of this family. With the addition of three more members in WISP1–3 (CCN4–6), this family now consists of six distinctive members. All members are cysteine-rich secreted proteins composed of four distinct modules connected intandem:IGFbindingprotein-like,vonWillebrandtypeC,thrombospondintype1repeat, and C-terminalmodules—exceptforCCN5, whichlackstheCTmodule.Theyareknown to play multiple roles in fundamental biological processes as intercellular signaling regula- tors, which are considered as a kind of matricellular proteins and were once referred to as “signal conductors.” This multifunctionality is thought to be due to these modules inter- acting physically with various growth factors and cytokines, extracellular matrices, and cell membraneproteins,includingreceptorsinvariousmicroenvironments.Recently,becauseof these characteristics of CCN proteins, as a result, the abbreviation CCN was redefined as “CellularCommunicationNetwork”andtheirgenenamesCCN1–6wereofficiallyadopted by the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) in 2018. The abnormal regula- tionoftheseproteins,consequentlydisturbingthecellularcommunicationnetwork,isalso involved in various diseases, such as fibrosis and renal, vascular, muscle, and metabolic diseases, as well as malignancies. Furthermore, the recent discovery of novel functions of these proteins, such as their intracellular functions, functions as circulating factors, and involvement in the biological defense, which stretch beyond the scope of intercellular signaling regulators, is expected to attract even more attention from basic scientists, espe- cially molecular and cellular biologists, and medical/dental scientists, as well as clinical scientists,inthefuture. ThisvolumewillbevaluableforthoseinterestedinCCNproteinsandserveasamanual depictingcutting-edgemethodologiesanddiscussingpracticaltipstohelpovercomeobsta- cles associated with experimentation pertaining to chemistry, biology, physiology, pathol- ogy,medical/dental sciences, and pharmacologyofCCN proteins.Wealso believethat, in conjunction with the first edition of CCN Proteins: Methods and Protocols, published in 2017, this volume will provide a comprehensive guide to the methods and protocols necessary for CCN research, from fundamental to state-of-the-art techniques, and be a valuable resource for a wide audience ranging from experienced CCN researchers looking fornewapproachestojuniorgraduatestudentstakingtheirfirststepsintothefieldofCCN research.
