Molecular imaging of membrane proteins and microfilaments using atomic force microscopy [PDF]

Experimental and Molecular Medicine, 2010
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is an emerging technique for a variety of uses involving the analysis of cells. AFM is widely applied to obtain information about both cellular structural and subcellular events. In particular, a variety of investigations into membrane proteins and microfilaments were performed with AFM.

Synthesis of proto-oncogene proteins and cyclins depends on intact microfilaments

European Journal of Cell Biology, 1998
It is well established that microfilament disintegration by cytochalasin D (CD) as well as latrunculin (LAT)-A and LAT-B causes an inhibition of S phase entry of various nontransformed cell lines. Our experiments extended these observations to human embryonal diploid fibroblasts (Wi-38). To investigate the question whether this stop of DNA synthesis is

Additive‐Manufactured, Multifunctional Bioreactor Technology for Dynamic Culture of 3D Bioprinted Tissue Models

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
We introduce an additively manufactured bioreactor with a perfusion flow system and integrated temperature and pH sensors for skeletal muscle tissue biofabrication. The bioreactor's performance was evaluated by assessing the viability, spreading of the myoblast cells in a printed scaffold, and contraction of the isolated murine musculi interossei ...

Engineering Oncolytic Virus‐Armed Macrophages for Enhanced Cancer Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ZIFOA‐M is engineered by conjugating oncolytic adenovirus‐loaded ZIF‐8 nanoparticles onto macrophage surfaces via bioorthogonal chemistry. Upon tumor infiltration, the platform releases OA to downregulate CD47/CD24 on tumor cells, restoring macrophage phagocytosis.

A Wireless 3D Magneto‐Mechanical Stimulation Platform Drives In Situ Chondrogenic Commitment of Endogenous MSCs

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An intracellular magneto‐mechanical platform utilizing MSC‐targeted nanomotors is developed. After intra‐articular delivery, these nanomotors target endogenous BMSCs and are actuated within lysosomes to execute trans‐planar rotational‐bouncing motions under a rotating‐fluctuating 3D magnetic field, generating amplified mechanical stimulation.

Force stimulation promotes nerve regeneration by restoring cellular energy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Mechanical stimulation can help nerves regenerate in various ways. We developed two devices (a piezo‐motor‐driven stretching device and a SAW‐based actuator) to apply mechanical stimulation to sciatic nerve and DRG neurons. Our study shows that appropriate mechanical force stimulation can promote regeneration by restoring the energy supply to the ...

Basolateral Membrane-associated 27-kDa Heat Shock Protein and Microfilament Polymerization [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1997
The in vivo activity of the 27-kDa heat shock protein, a barbed-end microfilament capping protein, may be localized to the plasma membrane. To investigate this putative association, bovine endothelial cells expressing the human wild type or a mutant nonphosphorylatable 27-kDa heat shock protein were subjected to subcellular fractionation and immunoblot

IQGAP1, a Rac- and Cdc42-binding Protein, Directly Binds and Cross-links Microfilaments [PDF]

The Journal of Cell Biology, 1997
Activated forms of the GTPases, Rac and Cdc42, are known to stimulate formation of microfilament-rich lamellipodia and filopodia, respectively, but the underlying mechanisms have remained obscure. We now report the purification and characterization of a protein, IQGAP1, which is likely to mediate effects of these GTPases on microfilaments.

Interaction Between Actin and Microtubules During Plant Development

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic interaction between actin filaments (AFs) and microtubules (MTs) plays a crucial role in regulating key developmental and physiological processes in plant cells, particularly in the formation of specialized cell types with distinct shapes and functions, such as pollen tubes, trichomes, and leaf epidermal cells.
