Identification of a novel type of focal adhesion remodelling via FAK/FRNK replacement, and its contribution to cancer progression

open access: yesCell Death and Disease, 2023
Numerous studies have investigated the various cellular responses against genotoxic stress, including those mediated by focal adhesions. We here identified a novel type of focal adhesion remodelling that occurs under genotoxic stress conditions, which ...

EVL is a novel focal adhesion protein involved in the regulation of cytoskeletal dynamics and vascular permeability

open access: yesPulmonary Circulation, 2021
Increases in lung vascular permeability is a cardinal feature of inflammatory disease and represents an imbalance in vascular contractile forces and barrier‐restorative forces, with both forces highly dependent upon the actin cytoskeleton.

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

open access: yes, 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.

Focal Adhesion Kinase Binds to the HPV E2 Protein to Regulate Initial Replication after Infection

open access: yesPathogens, 2023
Human papillomaviruses are small DNA tumor viruses that infect cutaneous and mucosal epithelia. The viral lifecycle is linked to the differentiation status of the epithelium.

Inhibition of focal adhesion kinase overcomes resistance of mantle cell lymphoma to ibrutinib in the bone marrow microenvironment

open access: yesHaematologica, 2018
Mantle cell lymphoma and other lymphoma subtypes often spread to the bone marrow, and stromal interactions mediated by focal adhesion kinase frequently enhance survival and drug resistance of the lymphoma cells. To study the role of focal adhesion kinase

αV-Integrins Are Required for Mechanotransduction in MDCK Epithelial Cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The properties of epithelial cells within tissues are regulated by their immediate microenvironment, which consists of neighboring cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM).

Nuclear-localized focal adhesion kinase regulates inflammatory VCAM-1 expression. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) plays important roles in development and inflammation. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) are key regulators of inflammatory and integrin-matrix signaling, respectively.

FAK acts as a suppressor of RTK-MAP kinase signalling in Drosophila melanogaster epithelia and human cancer cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTKs) and Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) regulate multiple signalling pathways, including mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway. FAK interacts with several RTKs but little is known about how FAK regulates their downstream

Flotillins Regulate Focal Adhesions by Interacting with α-Actinin and by Influencing the Activation of Focal Adhesion Kinase

open access: yesCells, 2018
Cell–matrix adhesion and cell migration are physiologically important processes that also play a major role in cancer spreading. In cultured cells, matrix adhesion depends on integrin-containing contacts such as focal adhesions. Flotillin-1 and flotillin-
