TRPV4 Regulates Breast Cancer Cell Extravasation, Stiffness and Actin Cortex
Metastasis is a significant health issue. The standard mode of care is combination of chemotherapy and targeted therapeutics but the 5-year survival rate remains low. New/better drug targets that can improve outcomes of patients with metastatic disease are needed. Metastasis is a complex process, with each step conferred by a set of genetic aberrations. Mapping the molecular changes associated ...
متن کاملMatrix Stiffness Regulates Glial Cell Morphology and Differentiation
MATRIX STIFFNESS REGULATES GLIAL CELL MORPHOLOGY AND DIFFERENTIATION By Mateusz M. Urbanski Advisor: Carmen Melendez-Vasquez Studies from our laboratory have shown that inhibition of non-muscle myosin II (NMII) activity has opposite effects on the formation of myelin by oligodendrocytes (OL), the myelinating glia of the central nervous system (CNS) and Schwann cells (SC), which perform the same...
متن کاملMatrix Stiffness Regulates Endothelial Cell Proliferation through Septin 9
Endothelial proliferation, which is an important process in vascular homeostasis, can be regulated by the extracellular microenvironment. In this study we demonstrated that proliferation of endothelial cells (ECs) was enhanced on hydrogels with high stiffness (HSG, 21.5 kPa) in comparison to those with low stiffness (LSG, 1.72 kPa). ECs on HSG showed markedly prominent stress fibers and a highe...
متن کاملMatrix stiffness regulates migration of human lung fibroblasts
In patients with pulmonary diseases such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and severe acute respiratory distress syndrome, progressive pulmonary fibrosis is caused by dysregulated wound healing via activation of fibroblasts after lung inflammation or severe damage. Migration of fibroblasts toward the fibrotic lesions plays an important role in pulmonary fibrosis. Fibrotic tissue in the lung is m...
متن کاملSubstrate stiffness regulates extracellular matrix deposition by alveolar epithelial cells.
AIM: The aim of the study was to address whether a stiff substrate, a model for pulmonary fibrosis, is responsible for inducing changes in the phenotype of alveolar epithelial cells (AEC) in the lung, including their deposition and organization of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. METHODS: Freshly isolated lung AEC from male Sprague Dawley rats were seeded onto polyacrylamide gel substrates...
