Mechanically induced deformation and strain dynamics in actin stress fibers
It is becoming evident that physical forces in the microenvironment play a key role in regulating many important aspects of cell biology. However, although mechanical cues are known to have clear effects over the long-term (days), the short-term (seconds to minutes) cellular responses to mechanical stimuli are less well characterized. In our recent study, we exposed committed fibroblast cells t...
متن کاملPhosphoinositides regulate membrane-dependent actin assembly by latex bead phagosomes.
Actin assembly on membrane surfaces is an elusive process in which several phosphoinositides (PIPs) have been implicated. We have reconstituted actin assembly using a defined membrane surface, the latex bead phagosome (LBP), and shown that the PI(4,5)P(2)-binding proteins ezrin and/or moesin were essential for this process (). Here, we provide several lines of evidence that both preexisting and...
متن کاملAnnexin 2 has an essential role in actin-based macropinocytic rocketing
Annexin 2 is a Ca(2+) binding protein that binds to and aggregates secretory vesicles at physiological Ca(2+) levels [1] and that also associates Ca(2+) independently with early endosomes [2, 3]. These properties suggest roles in both exocytosis and endocytosis, but little is known of the dynamics of Annexin 2 distribution in live cells during these processes. We have used evanescent field micr...
متن کاملActin Fusion Proteins Alter the Dynamics of Mechanically Induced Cytoskeleton Rearrangement
Mechanical forces can regulate various functions in living cells. The cytoskeleton is a crucial element for the transduction of forces in cell-internal signals and subsequent biological responses. Accordingly, many studies in cellular biomechanics have been focused on the role of the contractile acto-myosin system in such processes. A widely used method to observe the dynamic actin network in l...
متن کاملModulating the Actin Cytoskeleton Affects Mechanically Induced Signal Transduction and Differentiation in Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Mechanical interactions of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) with the environment play a significant role in controlling the diverse biological functions of these cells. Mechanical forces are transduced by integrins to the actin cytoskeleton that functions as a scaffold to switch mechanical signals into biochemical pathways. To explore the significance of cytoskeletal mechanisms in human MSC we modu...
