Cell polarity as a tumor suppressive mechanism.
Cell polarity is a fundamental property of epithelial cells that confers spatial organization to signalling pathways regulating many aspects of cell physiology including survival, proliferation, and motility. Loss of epithelial organization and apical-basal polarity correlates with the acquisition of a malignant phenotype, and accumulating evidence suggests that loss of polarity signalling cont...
متن کاملCell polarity: quantitative modeling as a tool in cell biology.
Among a number of innovative approaches that have modernized cell biology, modeling has a prominent yet unusual place. One popular view is that we progress linearly, from conceptual to ever more detailed models. We review recent discoveries of cell polarity mechanisms, in which modeling played an important role, to demonstrate that the experiment-theory feedback loop requires diverse models cha...
متن کاملCell polarity and cancer--cell and tissue polarity as a non-canonical tumor suppressor.
Correct establishment and maintenance of cell polarity is required for the development and homeostasis of all metazoans. Cell-polarity mechanisms are responsible not only for the diversification of cell shapes but also for regulation of the asymmetric cell divisions of stem cells that are crucial for their correct self-renewal and differentiation. Disruption of cell polarity is a hallmark of ca...
متن کاملPolarity Formation in Molecular Crystals as a Symmetry Breaking Effect
Abstract: The transition of molecular crystals into a polar state is modeled by a one-dimensional Ising Hamiltonian in multipole expansion and a suitable order parameter. Two symmetry breakings are necessary for the transition: the translational and the spin flip invariance—the former being broken by geometric constraints, the latter by the interaction of the first non-zero multipole with the n...
متن کاملProtein clustering for cell polarity: Par-3 as a paradigm
The scaffold protein Par-3 ( Drosophila Bazooka) is a central organizer of cell polarity across animals. This review focuses on how the clustering of Par-3 contributes to cell polarity. It begins with the Par-3 homo-oligomerization mechanism and its regulation by Par-1 phosphorylation. The role of polarized cytoskeletal networks in distributing Par-3 clusters to one end of the cell is then disc...
