Correlation of cell membrane dynamics and cell motility

BMC Bioinformatics, 2011
Background Essential events of cell development and homeostasis are revealed by the associated changes of cell morphology and therefore have been widely used as a key indicator of physiological states and molecular pathways affecting various cellular ...

CD47 promotes mitogen‐activated protein kinase and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition molecular programs to drive prometastatic phenotypes in non‐small cell lung cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Beyond its role in immune evasion, this study identified that CD47 drives tumor‐intrinsic signaling in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Transcriptomic profiling and functional studies revealed that CD47 regulates cell adhesion, migration, and metastasis through an ERK–EMT signaling axis.

Motility and tumor infiltration are key aspects of invariant natural killer T cell anti-tumor function

Nature Communications
Dysfunction of invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells contributes to immune resistance of tumors. Most mechanistic studies focus on their static functional status before or after activation, not considering motility as an important characteristic for ...

KDM7A and KDM1A inhibition suppresses tumour promoting pathways in prostate cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Treatment resistance is a major challenge for patients with advanced prostate cancer. This study examined an alternative approach to target the major prostate cancer‐promoting pathway by targeting epigenetic factors, whose levels are higher in tumours.

Cell‐cycle‐specific lesion evolution rather than inhibition of double‐strand‐break repair underpins cisplatin radiosensitization

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We analyze cisplatin–DNA adducts (CDAs) and double‐strand breaks (DSBs) in a cell‐cycle‐dependent manner. We find that CDAs form similarly across all cell cycle phases. DSBs arise only in S‐phase. CDAs might not directly impair DSB repair, but S‐phase DSB lesions evolve in the presence of CDAs and disrupt repair in G2, also causing radiosensitization ...

Assembly Formation of P65 Protein, Featured by an Intrinsically Disordered Region Involved in Gliding Machinery of Mycoplasma pneumoniae

Biomolecules
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a human pathogen that glides on host cell surfaces by a repeated catch and release mechanism using sialylated oligosaccharides.

Actomyosin contraction induces droplet motility

, 2017
While cell crawling on a solid surface is relatively well understood, and relies on substrate adhesion, some cells can also swim in the bulk, through mechanisms that are still largely unclear. Here, we propose a minimal model for in-bulk self-motility of

NKCC1: A key regulator of glioblastoma progression

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Glioblastoma (GBM) progression is driven by disrupted chloride cotransporter homeostasis. NKCC1 is highly expressed in stem‐like, astrocytic, and progenitor cells, correlating with earlier recurrence, while overall survival remains unaffected. NKCC1 serves as a prognostic marker and potential therapeutic target, linking chloride transporter imbalance ...

Effects of cell culture time and cytokines on migration of dental pulp stem cell‐derived chondrogenic cells in collagen hydrogels

Physiological Reports
The transplantation of collagen hydrogels encapsulating human dental pulp stem cell (DPSC)‐derived chondrogenic cells is potentially a novel approach for the regeneration of degenerated nucleus pulposus (NP) and cartilage.
