Cell Volume Fluctuations in MDCK Monolayers.
Cells moving collectively in tissues constitute a form of active matter, in which collective motion depends strongly on driven fluctuations at the single-cell scale. Fluctuations in cell area and number density are often seen in monolayers, yet their role in collective migration is not known. Here we study density fluctuations at the single- and multicell level, finding that single-cell volumes...
متن کاملExpression of PGT in MDCK cell monolayers: polarized apical localization and induction of active PG transport.
The PG transporter (PGT) is expressed in subapical vesicles in the kidney collecting duct. To gain insight into the possible function of the PGT in this tubule segment, we tagged rat PGT with green fluorescent protein at the COOH terminus and generated stable PGT-expressing Madin-Darby canine kidney cell lines. When grown on permeable filters, green fluorescent protein-PGT was expressed predomi...
متن کاملMulticellular density fluctuations in epithelial monolayers.
Changes in cell size often accompany multicellular motion in tissue, and cell number density is known to strongly influence collective migration in monolayers. Density fluctuations in other forms of active matter have been explored extensively, but not the potential role of density fluctuations in collective cell migration. Here we investigate collective motion in cell monolayers, focusing on t...
متن کاملRapid translocation of polarized MDCK cell monolayers by Leptospira interrogans, an invasive but nonintracellular pathogen.
Pathogenic spirochetes of the genus Leptospira are a major cause of human zoonotic infectious disease worldwide. After gaining entry through the skin, the organism causes disease by hematogenously disseminating to multiple organs. The mechanism by which it penetrates the mammalian cell barriers to disseminate is not well understood. In this study, we used a low-passage-number isolate of Leptosp...
متن کاملPredicting apparent passive permeability of Caco-2 and MDCK cell-monolayers: A mechanistic model
Experimentally derived apparent permeabilities, Papp, through cell monolayers such as Caco-2 and MDCK are considered to be an in-vitro gold standard for assessing the uptake efficiency of drugs. Here, we present a mechanistic model that describes 'passive' Papp values (i.e., neglecting active transport) by accounting for the different resistances solutes encounter when permeating a cell monolay...
