Actin cytoskeleton: Putting a CAP on actin polymerization [PDF]

Current Biology, 2000
Two recent studies have identified a Drosophila homolog of cyclase-associated protein (CAP) as a developmentally important negative regulator of actin polymerization that may also directly mediate signal transduction.

Focal adhesions as mechanosensors: the two-spring model [PDF]

, 2004
Adhesion-dependent cells actively sense the mechanical properties of their environment through mechanotransductory processes at focal adhesions, which are integrin-based contacts connecting the extracellular matrix to the cytoskeleton.

Investigating the cell of origin and novel molecular targets in Merkel cell carcinoma: a historic misnomer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study indicates that Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) does not originate from Merkel cells, and identifies gene, protein & cellular expression of immune‐linked and neuroendocrine markers in primary and metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) tumor samples, linked to Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) status, with enrichment of B‐cell and other immune cell

Schip1 is a novel podocyte foot process protein that mediates actin cytoskeleton rearrangements and forms a complex with Nherf2 and ezrin. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Podocyte foot process effacement accompanied by actin cytoskeleton rearrangements is a cardinal feature of many progressive human proteinuric diseases.By microarray profiling of mouse glomerulus, SCHIP1 emerged as one of the most highly enriched ...

Effect of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on the cytoskeleton: An open-label intervention study [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) show beneficial effects on cardiovascular health and cognitive functions, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are not completely understood.

Emerging role of ARHGAP29 in melanoma cell phenotype switching

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study gives first insights into the role of ARHGAP29 in malignant melanoma. ARHGAP29 was revealed to be connected to tumor cell plasticity, promoting a mesenchymal‐like, invasive phenotype and driving tumor progression. Further, it modulates cell spreading by influencing RhoA/ROCK signaling and affects SMAD2 activity. Rho GTPase‐activating protein

T lymphocyte migration: an action movie starring the actin and associated actors

Frontiers in Immunology, 2015
The actin cytoskeleton is composed of a dynamic filament meshwork that builds the architecture of the cell to sustain its fundamental properties. This physical structure is characterized by a continuous remodeling, which allows cells to accomplish ...

SILAC-based proteomic quantification of chemoattractant-induced cytoskeleton dynamics on a second to minute timescale [PDF]

, 2014
Cytoskeletal dynamics during cell behaviours ranging from endocytosis and exocytosis to cell division and movement is controlled by a complex network of signalling pathways, the full details of which are as yet unresolved.

Reduced vascular leakage correlates with breast carcinoma T regulatory cell infiltration but not with metastatic propensity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
A mouse model for vascular normalization and a human breast cancer cohort were studied to understand the relationship between vascular leakage and tumor immune suppression. For this, endothelial and immune cell RNAseq, staining for vascular function, and immune cell profiling were employed.

EFFECT OF ARGININE DEIMINASE FROM STREPTOCOCCUS PYOGENES ON CYTOSKELETON STRUCTURE AND MIGRATION ACTIVITY OF HUMAN ENDOTHELIAL CELLS

Медицинская иммунология, 2017
There is a growing body of data about the cytopathic effect of bacterial arginine deiminase on human endothelial cells, but the precise mechanisms of endothelial dysfunction caused by the activity of the enzyme remain poorly understood.
