Matrix Microarchitecture and Myosin II Determine Adhesion in 3D Matrices
BACKGROUND Reports of adhesions in cells growing in 3D vary widely-from nonexistent to very large and elongated-and are often in apparent conflict, due largely to our minimal understanding of the underlying mechanisms that determine 3D cell phenotype. We address this problem directly by systematically identifying mechanisms that determine adhesion in 3D matrices and, from our observations, deve...
متن کاملHyaluronic acid matrices show matrix stiffness in 2D and 3D dictates cytoskeletal order and myosin-II phosphorylation within stem cells.
Physical features of microenvironments such as matrix elasticity E can clearly influence cell morphology and cell phenotype, but many differences between model matrices raise questions as to whether a standard biological scale for E exists, especially in 3D as well as in 2D. An E-series of two distinct types of hydrogels are ligand-functionalized here with non-fibrous collagen and used to eluci...

متن کاملMigration of tumor cells in 3D matrices is governed by matrix stiffness along with cell-matrix adhesion and proteolysis.
Cell migration on 2D surfaces is governed by a balance between counteracting tractile and adhesion forces. Although biochemical factors such as adhesion receptor and ligand concentration and binding, signaling through cell adhesion complexes, and cytoskeletal structure assembly/disassembly have been studied in detail in a 2D context, the critical biochemical and biophysical parameters that affe...
متن کاملMyosin II-Mediated Focal Adhesion Maturation Is Tension Insensitive
Myosin II motors drive changes in focal adhesion morphology and composition in a "maturation process" that is crucial for regulating adhesion dynamics and signaling guiding cell adhesion, migration and fate. The underlying mechanisms of maturation, however, have been obscured by the intermingled effects of myosin II on lamellar actin architecture, dynamics and force transmission. Here, we show ...
