The miR-133a, TPM4 and TAp63γ Role in Myocyte Differentiation Microfilament Remodelling and Colon Cancer Progression

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an essential role in the regulation of a number of physiological functions. miR-133a and other muscular miRs (myomiRs) play a key role in muscle cell growth and in some type of cancers. Here, we show that miR133a is upregulated in

BPAG1a and b associate with EB1 and EB3 and modulate vesicular transport, Golgi apparatus structure, and cell migration in C2.7 myoblasts. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
BPAG1a and BPAG1b (BPAG1a/b) constitute two major isoforms encoded by the dystonin (Dst) gene and show homology with MACF1a and MACF1b. These proteins are members of the plakin family, giant multi-modular proteins able to connect the intermediate ...

Involvement of the Actin Machinery in Programmed Cell Death

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Programmed cell death (PCD) depicts a genetically encoded and an orderly mode of cellular mortality. When triggered by internal or external stimuli, cells initiate PCDs through evolutionary conserved regulatory mechanisms.

Microenvironmental stiffness mediates cytoskeleton re-organization in chondrocytes through laminin-FAK mechanotransduction

open access: yesInternational Journal of Oral Science, 2022
Microenvironmental biophysical factors play a fundamental role in controlling cell behaviors including cell morphology, proliferation, adhesion and differentiation, and even determining the cell fate.

Villin: The major microfilament-associated protein of the intestinal microvillus [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1979
The major protein associated with actin in the microfilament core of intestinal microvilli has been purified. This protein, for which we propose the name villin, has a polypeptide molecular weight of approximately 95,000. Two arguments suggest that villin may be the microvillus crossfilament protein that links the microfilament core laterally down its ...

Stimuli-responsive assembly of iron oxide nanoparticles into magnetic flexible filaments [PDF]

open access: yesEmergent Materials (2021), 2021
The combination of multiple functionalities in a single material is an appealing strategy for the de-velopment of smart materials with unique features. In this work, we present the preparation of thermoresponsive magnetic nanoparticles and their one-dimensional assembly into transient micro-filaments.

mTORC2 interactome and localization determine aggressiveness of high-grade glioma cells through association with gelsolin

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
mTOR complex 2 (mTORC2) has been implicated as a key regulator of glioblastoma cell migration. However, the roles of mTORC2 in the migrational control process have not been entirely elucidated.

Role of hypoxia in promoting migration and cell fusion of urine-derived stem cells

open access: yes陆军军医大学学报, 2023
Objective To explore the effect of hypoxia on cell migration and fusion of urine-derived stem cells (USCs) in vitro, and observe the changes in cytoskeleton and cell polarity during the process.

Neurotrophic extracellular matrix proteins promote neuronal and iPSC astrocyte progenitor cell- and nano-scale process extension for neural repair applications. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Anat
The extracellular matrix plays a critical role in modulating cell behaviour in the central nervous system influencing neural cell morphology and growth. However, a better understanding of the impact of individual matrix proteins on both neurons and astrocytes is critical for advancing the development of matrix‐based neural repair strategies.

Modulation of Microfilament Protein Composition by Transfected Cytoskeletal Actin Genes [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular and Cellular Biology, 1988
HuT-14T is a highly tumorigenic fibroblast cell line which exhibits a reduced steady-state level of beta-actin due to coding mutations in one of two beta-actin alleles. The normal rate of total actin synthesis could be restored in some clones of cells following transfection of the functional beta-actin gene but not following transfection of the ...
