Periodic Lamellipodial Contractions Correlate with Rearward Actin Waves
Cellular lamellipodia bind to the matrix and probe its rigidity through forces generated by rearward F-actin transport. Cells respond to matrix rigidity by moving toward more rigid matrices using an unknown mechanism. In spreading and migrating cells we find local periodic contractions of lamellipodia that depend on matrix rigidity, fibronectin binding and myosin light chain kinase (MLCK). Thes...
متن کاملFunctional role of syndecan-1 cytoplasmic V region in lamellipodial spreading, actin bundling, and cell migration.
Cell protrusions contribute to cell motility and migration by mediating the outward extension and initial adhesion of cell edges. In many cells, these extensions are supported by actin bundles assembled by the actin cross-linking protein, fascin. Multiple extracellular cues regulate fascin and here we focus on the mechanism by which the transmembrane proteoglycan, syndecan-1, specifically activ...
متن کاملCell Spreading and Lamellipodial Extension Rate Is Regulated by Membrane Tension
Cell spreading and motility require the extension of the plasma membrane in association with the assembly of actin. In vitro, extension must overcome resistance from tension within the plasma membrane. We report here that the addition of either amphiphilic compounds or fluorescent lipids that expanded the plasma membrane increased the rate of cell spreading and lamellipodial extension, stimulat...
متن کاملLamellipodial actin branches out
Many cell types, including fi broblasts and epithelial cells, move forward by forming an actin-rich membrane protrusion, called a lamellipodium, at the front of the cell. In the early 1990s, researchers thought that lamellipodial protrusion was driven by the polymerization of linear actin fi laments. In two JCB papers published in 1997 and 1999, however, Tatyana Svitkina and colleagues revealed...
متن کاملHallucis Muscle During Cramp Contractions
33 We analyzed individual motor units during electrically-elicited cramp contractions with 34 the aim of characterizing the variability and degree of common oscillations in their discharges. 35 Intramuscular and surface EMG signals were detected from the abductor hallucis muscle of 11 36 healthy subjects (age 27.0 ± 3.7 yrs) during electrically-elicited cramps. In total, 48 motor units 37 were ...
