Mechanisms of force generation and force transmission during interstitial leukocyte migration.
For innate and adaptive immune responses it is essential that inflammatory cells use quick and flexible locomotion strategies. Accordingly, most leukocytes can efficiently infiltrate and traverse almost every physiological or artificial environment. Here, we review how leukocytes might achieve this task mechanistically, and summarize recent findings on the principles of cytoskeletal force gener...
متن کاملModelling cell migration and adhesion during development.
Cell-cell adhesion is essential for biological development: cells migrate to their target sites, where cell-cell adhesion enables them to aggregate and form tissues. Here, we extend analysis of the model of cell migration proposed by Anguige and Schmeiser (J. Math. Biol. 58(3):395-427, 2009) that incorporates both cell-cell adhesion and volume filling. The stochastic space-jump model is compare...
متن کاملhTERT promotes cell adhesion and migration independent of telomerase activity.
hTERT, a catalytic component of human telomerase, is undetectable in normal somatic cells but up-regulated in cancer and stem cells where telomere length is maintained by telomerase. Accumulated evidence indicates that hTERT may have noncanonical functions beyond telomerase by regulating the expression of particular genes. However, comprehensive identification of the genes regulated by hTERT is...
متن کاملFocal adhesion kinase is involved in mechanosensing during fibroblast migration.
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase localized at focal adhesions and is believed to mediate adhesion-stimulated effects. Although ablation of FAK impairs cell movement, it is not clear whether FAK might be involved in the guidance of cell migration, a role consistent with its putative regulatory function. We have transfected FAK-null fibroblasts with FAK gene u...
متن کاملInteractive protrusive structures during leukocyte adhesion and transendothelial migration.
Leukocyte transendothelial migration during homing and inflammation requires drastic cell morphological changes, involving cytoskeletal-directed clustering of adhesion receptors in specialized protrusive membrane structures in leukocytes and endothelial cells. Extravasation is an active process not only for leukocytes but also for endothelial cells, which promote the rapid and efficient entry o...
