Loss of Profilin3 Impairs Spermiogenesis by Affecting Acrosome Biogenesis, Autophagy, Manchette Development and Mitochondrial Organization

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Profilins (PFNs) are key regulatory proteins for the actin polymerization in cells and are encoded in mouse and humans by four Pfn genes. PFNs are involved in cell mobility, cell growth, neurogenesis, and metastasis of tumor cells.

Molecular and Cellular Hallmarks of Age‐Related Vestibular Hair Cell Degeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study utilizes single‐cell RNA‐seq transcriptomes, advanced imaging, and electrophysiology to examine universal and cell‐type‐specific aging signatures of vestibular hair cells. The study shows that impaired hair bundle function is a key driver of age‐related vestibular dysfunction.

Loss of cofilin 1 disturbs actin dynamics, adhesion between enveloping and deep cell layers and cell movements during gastrulation in zebrafish.

PLoS ONE, 2010
During gastrulation, cohesive migration drives associated cell layers to the completion of epiboly in zebrafish. The association of different layers relies on E-cadherin based cellular junctions, whose stability can be affected by actin turnover.

Oncogenic role of TWF2 in human tumors: A pan-cancer analysis

Open Medicine, 2022
To develop effective medicines, researchers must first understand the common and distinct mechanisms that drive oncogenic processes in human cancers. TWF1 and TWF2 belong to the actin-depolymerizing factor homology family.

Systemic Nanomechanical Single‐Cell Profiling Reveals Mechanophenotype Transitions Under Therapeutic Perturbation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Single‐cell mechanomics demonstrates that pharmacological perturbation changes cytoskeletal and cortical structure, suppressing cancer cell invasiveness. By integrating atomic force microscopy (AFM)‐based cortical measurements with stimulated emission depletion (STED)‐resolved adhesion and cytoskeletal organization, this approach identifies nanoscale ...

The Regulation of Actin Organization by Actin-Depolymerizing Factor in Elongating Pollen Tubes[W] [PDF]

The Plant Cell, 2002
AbstractPollen tube elongation is a polarized cell growth process that transports the male gametes from the stigma to the ovary for fertilization inside the ovules. Actomyosin-driven intracellular trafficking and active actin remodeling in the apical and subapical regions of pollen tubes are both important aspects of this rapid tip growth process ...

Genetic Ablation and Multi‐Omics Profiling Reveal CEP55 as a Key Driver of Tumorigenesis in Diverse Cancer Models

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Genetic ablation of Cep55 in Pten‐deficient mouse models delays tumorigenesis. Integrated multi‐omics analyses (proteomics, phosphoproteomics, and spatial transcriptomics) reveal that CEP55 regulates oncogenic signaling (RAS/ERK, PI3K/AKT), integrin/FAK‐mediated adhesion, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, and endocytosis.

Deciphering Anti‐Cancer Drug Efficacy Through Nanomechanical Vibrations in Living Gastric Cancer Organoids

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study developed an efficacy assessment platform that integrates patient‐derived gastric cancer organoids, atomic force microscopy (AFM)‐based nanomechanical vibration detection, deep learning analysis, and organoid mechanical modeling. It detects picomolar drug effects within 0.1 s signal, achieves 97% classification accuracy, and offers non ...

Loss of SHP1 in Spinal Astrocytes Triggers T‐Lymphocyte Infiltration and Nociceptive Hypersensitivity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Astrocyte‐specific SHP1 deletion disrupts astrocyte–vascular interactions and compromises BBB integrity while enhancing STAT1‐dependent CXCL10 expression. These changes synergistically promote peripheral CD4+ and CD8+ T‐cell infiltration into the SDH. The infiltrating T cells secrete IFN‐γ, which in turn activates microglia.

Coactosin-like 1 integrates signaling critical for shear-dependent thrombus formation in mouse platelets

Haematologica, 2020
Platelet aggregate formation is a multistep process involving receptor-mediated, as well as biomechanical, signaling cascades, which are highly dependent on actin dynamics.
