--- _id: '7009' abstract: - lang: eng text: Cell migration is essential for physiological processes as diverse as development, immune defence and wound healing. It is also a hallmark of cancer malignancy. Thousands of publications have elucidated detailed molecular and biophysical mechanisms of cultured cells migrating on flat, 2D substrates of glass and plastic. However, much less is known about how cells successfully navigate the complex 3D environments of living tissues. In these more complex, native environments, cells use multiple modes of migration, including mesenchymal, amoeboid, lobopodial and collective, and these are governed by the local extracellular microenvironment, specific modalities of Rho GTPase signalling and non- muscle myosin contractility. Migration through 3D environments is challenging because it requires the cell to squeeze through complex or dense extracellular structures. Doing so requires specific cellular adaptations to mechanical features of the extracellular matrix (ECM) or its remodelling. In addition, besides navigating through diverse ECM environments and overcoming extracellular barriers, cells often interact with neighbouring cells and tissues through physical and signalling interactions. Accordingly, cells need to call on an impressively wide diversity of mechanisms to meet these challenges. This Review examines how cells use both classical and novel mechanisms of locomotion as they traverse challenging 3D matrices and cellular environments. It focuses on principles rather than details of migratory mechanisms and draws comparisons between 1D, 2D and 3D migration. article_processing_charge: No article_type: review author: - first_name: KM full_name: Yamada, KM last_name: Yamada - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 citation: ama: Yamada K, Sixt MK.

Platelets bind, contain, and kill bacteria directly; however, platelet proinflammatory effector functions and cross-talk with the coagulation system, can also result in damage to the host (e.g., acute lung injury and sepsis).

However, recent evidence suggests that the leading edge may be dispensable for migration, raising the question of what actually controls cell directionality. Here, we exploit the embryonic migration of Drosophila macrophages to bridge the different temporal scales of the behaviours controlling motility. This approach reveals that edge fluctuations during random motility are not persistent and are weakly correlated with motion. In contrast, flow of the actin network behind the leading edge is highly persistent. Quantification of actin flow structure during migration reveals a stable organization and asymmetry in the cell-wide flowfield that strongly correlates with cell directionality. This organization is regulated by a gradient of actin network compression and destruction, which is controlled by myosin contraction and cofilin-mediated disassembly. It is this stable actin-flow polarity, which integrates rapid fluctuations of the leading edge, that controls inherent cellular persistence. article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Lawrence full_name: Yolland, Lawrence last_name: Yolland - first_name: Mubarik full_name: Burki, Mubarik last_name: Burki - first_name: Stefania full_name: Marcotti, Stefania last_name: Marcotti - first_name: Andrei full_name: Luchici, Andrei last_name: Luchici - first_name: Fiona N. full_name: Kenny, Fiona N. last_name: Kenny - first_name: John Robert full_name: Davis, John Robert last_name: Davis - first_name: Eduardo full_name: Serna-Morales, Eduardo last_name: Serna-Morales - first_name: Jan full_name: Müller, Jan id: AD07FDB4-0F61-11EA-8158-C4CC64CEAA8D last_name: Müller - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 - first_name: Andrew full_name: Davidson, Andrew last_name: Davidson - first_name: Will full_name: Wood, Will last_name: Wood - first_name: Linus J. full_name: Schumacher, Linus J. last_name: Schumacher - first_name: Robert G. full_name: Endres, Robert G. last_name: Endres - first_name: Mark full_name: Miodownik, Mark last_name: Miodownik - first_name: Brian M. full_name: Stramer, Brian M. last_name: Stramer citation: ama: Yolland L, Burki M, Marcotti S, et al.

Here, we employ an RNAi screen to characterize regulators of integrin traffic and identify the association of Golgi-localized gamma ear-containing Arf-binding protein 2 (GGA2) with β1-integrin, and its role in recycling of active but not inactive β1-integrin receptors. Silencing of GGA2 limits active β1-integrin levels in focal adhesions and decreases cancer cell migration and invasion, which is in agreement with its ability to regulate the dynamics of active integrins. By using the proximity-dependent biotin identification (BioID) method, we identified two RAB family small GTPases, i.e. RAB13 and RAB10, as novel interactors of GGA2. Functionally, RAB13 silencing triggers the intracellular accumulation of active β1-integrin, and reduces integrin activity in focal adhesions and cell migration similarly to GGA2 depletion, indicating that both facilitate active β1-integrin recycling to the plasma membrane. Thus, GGA2 and RAB13 are important specificity determinants for integrin activity-dependent traffic. article_number: jcs233387 article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Pranshu full_name: Sahgal, Pranshu last_name: Sahgal - first_name: Jonna H full_name: Alanko, Jonna H id: 2CC12E8C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Alanko orcid: 0000-0002-7698-3061 - first_name: Jaroslav full_name: Icha, Jaroslav last_name: Icha - first_name: Ilkka full_name: Paatero, Ilkka last_name: Paatero - first_name: Hellyeh full_name: Hamidi, Hellyeh last_name: Hamidi - first_name: Antti full_name: Arjonen, Antti last_name: Arjonen - first_name: Mika full_name: Pietilä, Mika last_name: Pietilä - first_name: Anne full_name: Rokka, Anne last_name: Rokka - first_name: Johanna full_name: Ivaska, Johanna last_name: Ivaska citation: ama: Sahgal P, Alanko JH, Icha J, et al.

Indeed, dendrite branching enhances the coverage of the neuron's receptive field and modulates the initial processing of incoming stimuli. Complex dendrite patterns are achieved in vivo through a dynamic process of de novo branch formation, branch extension and retraction. The first step towards branch formation is the generation of a dynamic filopodium-like branchlet. The mechanisms underlying the initiation of dendrite branchlets are therefore crucial to the shaping of dendrites. Through in vivo time-lapse imaging of the subcellular localization of actin during the process of branching of Drosophila larva sensory neurons, combined with genetic analysis and electron tomography, we have identified the Actin-related protein (Arp) 2/3 complex as the major actin nucleator involved in the initiation of dendrite branchlet formation, under the control of the activator WAVE and of the small GTPase Rac1. Transient recruitment of an Arp2/3 component marks the site of branchlet initiation in vivo. These data position the activation of Arp2/3 as an early hub for the initiation of branchlet formation. article_number: dev171397 article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Tomke full_name: Stürner, Tomke last_name: Stürner - first_name: Anastasia full_name: Tatarnikova, Anastasia last_name: Tatarnikova - first_name: Jan full_name: Müller, Jan id: AD07FDB4-0F61-11EA-8158-C4CC64CEAA8D last_name: Müller - first_name: Barbara full_name: Schaffran, Barbara last_name: Schaffran - first_name: Hermann full_name: Cuntz, Hermann last_name: Cuntz - first_name: Yun full_name: Zhang, Yun last_name: Zhang - first_name: Maria full_name: Nemethova, Maria id: 34E27F1C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Nemethova - first_name: Sven full_name: Bogdan, Sven last_name: Bogdan - first_name: Vic full_name: Small, Vic last_name: Small - first_name: Gaia full_name: Tavosanis, Gaia last_name: Tavosanis citation: ama: Stürner T, Tatarnikova A, Müller J, et al.

Fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) are the main stromal cells and form a sponge-like extracellular matrix network, called conduits , which they thems elves enwrap and contract. Lymph, containing s oluble antigens , arrive in lymph nodes via afferent lymphatic vessels that connect to the s ubcaps ular s inus and conduit network. According to the current paradigm, the conduit network dis tributes afferent lymph through lymph nodes and thus provides acces s for immune cells to lymph-borne antigens. An elas tic caps ule s urrounds the organ and confines the immune cells and FRC network. Lymph nodes are completely packed with lymphocytes and lymphocyte numbers directly dictates the size of the organ. Although lymphocytes cons tantly enter and leave the lymph node, its s ize remains remarkedly s table under homeostatic conditions. It is only partly known how the cellularity and s ize of the lymph node is regulated and how the lymph node is able to swell in inflammation. The role of the FRC network in lymph node s welling and trans fer of fluids are inves tigated in this thes is. Furthermore, we s tudied what trafficking routes are us ed by cancer cells in lymph nodes to form distal metastases.We examined the role of a mechanical feedback in regulation of lymph node swelling. Using parallel plate compression and UV-las er cutting experiments we dis s ected the mechanical force dynamics of the whole lymph node, and individually for FRCs and the caps ule. Physical forces generated by packed lymphocytes directly affect the tens ion on the FRC network and capsule, which increases its resistance to swelling. This implies a feedback mechanism between tis s ue pres s ure and ability of lymphocytes to enter the organ. Following inflammation, the lymph node swells ∼10 fold in two weeks . Yet, what is the role for tens ion on the FRC network and caps ule, and how are lymphocytes able to enter in conditions that resist swelling remain open ques tions . We s how that tens ion on the FRC network is important to limit the swelling rate of the organ so that the FRC network can grow in a coordinated fashion. This is illustrated by interfering with FRC contractility, which leads to faster swelling rates and a dis organized FRC network in the inflamed lymph node. Growth of the FRC network in turn is expected to releas e tens ion on thes e s tructures and lowers the res is tance to swelling, thereby allowing more lymphocytes to enter the organ and drive more swelling. Halt of swelling coincides with a thickening of the caps ule, which forms a thick res is tant band around the organ and lowers tens ion on the FRC network to form a new force equilibrium.The FRC and conduit network are further believed to be a privileged s ite of s oluble information within the lymph node, although many details remain uns olved. We s how by 3D ultra-recons truction that FRCs and antigen pres enting cells cover the s urface of conduit s ys tem for more than 99% and we dis cus s the implications for s oluble information exchangeat the conduit level.Finally, there is an ongoing debate in the cancer field whether and how cancer cells in lymph nodes s eed dis tal metas tas es . We s how that cancer cells infus ed into the lymph node can utilize trafficking routes of immune cells and rapidly migrate to blood vessels. Once in the blood circulation, these cells are able to form metastases in distal tissues. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio - _id: PreCl - _id: EM-Fac alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Frank P full_name: Assen, Frank P id: 3A8E7F24-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Assen orcid: 0000-0003-3470-6119 citation: ama: 'Assen FP.

Instead, these cells are able to function autonomously of the molecular composition in a broad range of tissue compartments. By this means, cells of the hematopoietic lineage retain the capacity to disseminate into connective tissue and recirculate between organs, building the foundation for essential processes such as tissue regeneration or immune surveillance. \r\nCells of the immune system, specifically leukocytes, are extraordinarily good at performing this task. These cells are able to flexibly shift their mode of migration between an adhesion-mediated and an adhesion-independent manner, instantaneously accommodating for any changes in molecular composition of the external scaffold. The key component driving directed leukocyte migration is the chemokine receptor 7, which guides the cell along gradients of chemokine ligand. Therefore, the physical destination of migrating leukocytes is purely deterministic, i.e. given by global directional cues such as chemokine gradients. \r\nNevertheless, these cells typically reside in three-dimensional scaffolds of inhomogeneous complexity, raising the question whether cells are able to locally discriminate between multiple optional migration routes. Current literature provides evidence that leukocytes, specifically dendritic cells, do indeed probe their surrounding by virtue of multiple explorative protrusions. However, it remains enigmatic how these cells decide which one is the more favorable route to follow and what are the key players involved in performing this task. Due to the heterogeneous environment of most tissues, and the vast adaptability of migrating leukocytes, at this time it is not clear to what extent leukocytes are able to optimize their migratory strategy by adapting their level of adhesiveness. And, given the fact that leukocyte migration is characterized by branched cell shapes in combination with high migration velocities, it is reasonable to assume that these cells require fine tuned shape maintenance mechanisms that tightly coordinate protrusion and adhesion dynamics in a spatiotemporal manner. \r\nTherefore, this study aimed to elucidate how rapidly migrating leukocytes opt for an ideal migratory path while maintaining a continuous cell shape and balancing adhesive forces to efficiently navigate through complex microenvironments. \r\nThe results of this study unraveled a role for the microtubule cytoskeleton in promoting the decision making process during path finding and for the first time point towards a microtubule-mediated function in cell shape maintenance of highly ramified cells such as dendritic cells. Furthermore, we found that migrating low-adhesive leukocytes are able to instantaneously adapt to increased tensile load by engaging adhesion receptors. This response was only occurring tangential to the substrate while adhesive properties in the vertical direction were not increased. As leukocytes are primed for rapid migration velocities, these results demonstrate that leukocyte integrins are able to confer a high level of traction forces parallel to the cell membrane along the direction of migration without wasting energy in gluing the cell to the substrate. \r\nThus, the data in the here presented thesis provide new insights into the pivotal role of cytoskeletal dynamics and the mechanisms of force transduction during leukocyte migration. \r\nThereby the here presented results help to further define fundamental principles underlying leukocyte migration and open up potential therapeutic avenues of clinical relevance.\r\n" alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Aglaja full_name: Kopf, Aglaja id: 31DAC7B6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kopf orcid: 0000-0002-2187-6656 citation: ama: Kopf A.

These spaces are crowded by cells and extracellular matrix, generating mazes with differently sized gaps that are typically smaller than the diameter of the migrating cell4,5. Most mesenchymal and epithelial cells and some—but not all—cancer cells actively generate their migratory path using pericellular tissue proteolysis6. By contrast, amoeboid cells such as leukocytes use non-destructive strategies of locomotion7, raising the question how these extremely fast cells navigate through dense tissues. Here we reveal that leukocytes sample their immediate vicinity for large pore sizes, and are thereby able to choose the path of least resistance. This allows them to circumnavigate local obstacles while effectively following global directional cues such as chemotactic gradients. Pore-size discrimination is facilitated by frontward positioning of the nucleus, which enables the cells to use their bulkiest compartment as a mechanical gauge. Once the nucleus and the closely associated microtubule organizing centre pass the largest pore, cytoplasmic protrusions still lingering in smaller pores are retracted. These retractions are coordinated by dynamic microtubules; when microtubules are disrupted, migrating cells lose coherence and frequently fragment into migratory cytoplasmic pieces. As nuclear positioning in front of the microtubule organizing centre is a typical feature of amoeboid migration, our findings link the fundamental organization of cellular polarity to the strategy of locomotion. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: SSU article_processing_charge: No article_type: letter_note author: - first_name: Jörg full_name: Renkawitz, Jörg id: 3F0587C8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Renkawitz orcid: 0000-0003-2856-3369 - first_name: Aglaja full_name: Kopf, Aglaja id: 31DAC7B6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kopf orcid: 0000-0002-2187-6656 - first_name: Julian A full_name: Stopp, Julian A id: 489E3F00-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Stopp - first_name: Ingrid full_name: de Vries, Ingrid id: 4C7D837E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: de Vries - first_name: Meghan K. full_name: Driscoll, Meghan K. last_name: Driscoll - first_name: Jack full_name: Merrin, Jack id: 4515C308-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Merrin orcid: 0000-0001-5145-4609 - first_name: Robert full_name: Hauschild, Robert id: 4E01D6B4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Hauschild orcid: 0000-0001-9843-3522 - first_name: Erik S. full_name: Welf, Erik S. last_name: Welf - first_name: Gaudenz full_name: Danuser, Gaudenz last_name: Danuser - first_name: Reto full_name: Fiolka, Reto last_name: Fiolka - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 citation: ama: Renkawitz J, Kopf A, Stopp JA, et al.

Here, we describe a method that allows analyzing platelet migration in vitro, focusing on their ability to collect bacteria and trap bacteria under flow. acknowledgement: ' FöFoLe project 947 (F.G.), the Friedrich-Baur-Stiftung project 41/16 (F.G.)' article_number: e3018 author: - first_name: Shuxia full_name: Fan, Shuxia last_name: Fan - first_name: Michael full_name: Lorenz, Michael last_name: Lorenz - first_name: Steffen full_name: Massberg, Steffen last_name: Massberg - first_name: Florian R full_name: Gärtner, Florian R id: 397A88EE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Gärtner orcid: 0000-0001-6120-3723 citation: ama: Fan S, Lorenz M, Massberg S, Gärtner FR.

We study if migration in vivo in such three-dimensionally confined environments requires changes in the mechanical properties of the surrounding cells using embryonic Drosophila melanogaster hemocytes, also called macrophages, as a model. We find that macrophage invasion into the germband through transient separation of the apposing ectoderm and mesoderm requires cell deformations and reductions in apical tension in the ectoderm. Interestingly, the genetic pathway governing these mechanical shifts acts downstream of the only known tumor necrosis factor superfamily member in Drosophila, Eiger, and its receptor, Grindelwald. Eiger-Grindelwald signaling reduces levels of active Myosin in the germband ectodermal cortex through the localization of a Crumbs complex component, Patj (Pals-1-associated tight junction protein). We therefore elucidate a distinct molecular pathway that controls tissue tension and demonstrate the importance of such regulation for invasive migration in vivo. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: SSU article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Aparna full_name: Ratheesh, Aparna id: 2F064CFE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Ratheesh orcid: 0000-0001-7190-0776 - first_name: Julia full_name: Biebl, Julia id: 3CCBB46E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Biebl - first_name: Michael full_name: Smutny, Michael last_name: Smutny - first_name: Jana full_name: Veselá, Jana id: 433253EE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Veselá - first_name: Ekaterina full_name: Papusheva, Ekaterina id: 41DB591E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Papusheva - first_name: Gabriel full_name: Krens, Gabriel id: 2B819732-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Krens orcid: 0000-0003-4761-5996 - first_name: Walter full_name: Kaufmann, Walter id: 3F99E422-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kaufmann orcid: 0000-0001-9735-5315 - first_name: Attila full_name: György, Attila id: 3BCEDBE0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: György orcid: 0000-0002-1819-198X - first_name: Alessandra M full_name: Casano, Alessandra M id: 3DBA3F4E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Casano orcid: 0000-0002-6009-6804 - first_name: Daria E full_name: Siekhaus, Daria E id: 3D224B9E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Siekhaus orcid: 0000-0001-8323-8353 citation: ama: Ratheesh A, Bicher J, Smutny M, et al.

In this study, we report that LECs also release basolateral exosome-rich endothelial vesicles (EEVs) that are secreted in greater numbers in the presence of inflammatory cytokines and accumulate in the perivascular stroma of small lymphatic vessels in human chronic inflammatory diseases. Proteomic analyses of EEV fractions identified > 1,700 cargo proteins and revealed a dominant motility-promoting protein signature. In vitro and ex vivo EEV fractions augmented cellular protrusion formation in a CX3CL1/fractalkine-dependent fashion and enhanced the directional migratory response of human dendritic cells along guidance cues. We conclude that perilymphatic LEC exosomes enhance exploratory behavior and thus promote directional migration of CX3CR1-expressing cells in complex tissue environments. acknowledgement: M.

Imaging data provide quantitative information about biological systems; however, mechanisms causing spatial patterning often remain elusive. In recent years, spatio-temporal mathematical modelling has helped to overcome this problem. Yet, outliers and structured noise limit modelling of whole imaging data, and models often consider spatial summary statistics. Here, we introduce an integrated data-driven modelling approach that can cope with measurement artefacts and whole imaging data. Our approach combines mechanistic models of the biological processes with robust statistical models of the measurement process. The parameters of the integrated model are calibrated using a maximum-likelihood approach. We used this integrated modelling approach to study in vivo gradients of the chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 21 (CCL21). CCL21 gradients guide dendritic cells and are important in the adaptive immune response. Using artificial data, we verified that the integrated modelling approach provides reliable parameter estimates in the presence of measurement noise and that bias and variance of these estimates are reduced compared to conventional approaches. The application to experimental data allowed the parametrization and subsequent refinement of the model using additional mechanisms. Among other results, model-based hypothesis testing predicted lymphatic vessel-dependent concentration of heparan sulfate, the binding partner of CCL21. The selected model provided an accurate description of the experimental data and was partially validated using published data. Our findings demonstrate that integrated statistical modelling of whole imaging data is computationally feasible and can provide novel biological insights. article_number: '20180600' article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Sabrina full_name: Hross, Sabrina last_name: Hross - first_name: Fabian J. full_name: Theis, Fabian J. last_name: Theis - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 - first_name: Jan full_name: Hasenauer, Jan last_name: Hasenauer citation: ama: Hross S, Theis FJ, Sixt MK, Hasenauer J.

To decipher the underlying cell biology, current experimental setups either use simplified 2D, tissue-mimetic 3D (e.g., collagen matrices) or in vivo environments. While only in vivo experiments are truly physiological, they do not allow for precise manipulation of environmental parameters. 2D in vitro experiments do allow mechanical and chemical manipulations, but increasing evidence demonstrates substantial differences of migratory mechanisms in 2D and 3D. Here, we describe simple, robust, and versatile “pillar forests” to investigate cell migration in complex but fully controllable 3D environments. Pillar forests are polydimethylsiloxane-based setups, in which two closely adjacent surfaces are interconnected by arrays of micrometer-sized pillars. Changing the pillar shape, size, height and the inter-pillar distance precisely manipulates microenvironmental parameters (e.g., pore sizes, micro-geometry, micro-topology), while being easily combined with chemotactic cues, surface coatings, diverse cell types and advanced imaging techniques. Thus, pillar forests combine the advantages of 2D cell migration assays with the precise definition of 3D environmental parameters. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Jörg full_name: Renkawitz, Jörg id: 3F0587C8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Renkawitz orcid: 0000-0003-2856-3369 - first_name: Anne full_name: Reversat, Anne id: 35B76592-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Reversat orcid: 0000-0003-0666-8928 - first_name: Alexander F full_name: Leithner, Alexander F id: 3B1B77E4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Leithner orcid: 0000-0002-1073-744X - first_name: Jack full_name: Merrin, Jack id: 4515C308-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Merrin orcid: 0000-0001-5145-4609 - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 citation: ama: 'Renkawitz J, Reversat A, Leithner AF, Merrin J, Sixt MK.

These biomechanical processes depend highly on microenvironmental factors such as exposure to 2D surfaces or 3D matrices. In vivo, the majority of cells are exposed to 3D environments. Data on 3D cell migration are mostly derived from intravital microscopy or collagen-based in vitro assays. Both approaches offer only limited controlla-bility of experimental conditions. Here, we developed an automated microfluidic system that allows positioning of cells in 3D microenvironments containing highly controlled diffusion-based chemokine gradients. Tracking migration in such gradients was feasible in real time at the single cell level. Moreover, the setup allowed on-chip immunocytochemistry and thus linking of functional with phenotypical properties in individual cells. Spatially defined retrieval of cells from the device allows down-stream off-chip analysis. Using dendritic cells as a model, our setup specifically allowed us for the first time to quantitate key migration characteristics of cells exposed to identical gradients of the chemokine CCL19 yet placed on 2D vs in 3D environments. Migration properties between 2D and 3D migration were distinct. Morphological features of cells migrating in an in vitro 3D environment were similar to those of cells migrating in animal tissues, but different from cells migrating on a surface. Our system thus offers a highly controllable in vitro-mimic of a 3D environment that cells traffic in vivo. acknowledgement: This work was supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (MD-PhD fellowships, 323530_164221 to C.F.; and 323630_151483 to A.J.; grant PZ00P3_144863 to M.R, grant 31003A_156431 to T.S.; PZ00P3_148000 to C.T.B.; PZ00P3_154733 to M.M.), a Novartis “FreeNovation” grant to M.M. and T.S. and an EMBO long-term fellowship (ALTF 1396-2014) co-funded by the European Commission (LTFCOFUND2013, GA-2013-609409) to J.R..

Many GPCRs are classified as orphan receptors because of the limited knowledge on their ligands and coupling to cellular signaling machineries. Here, we engineer a library of 63 chimeric receptors that contain the signaling domains of human orphan and understudied GPCRs functionally linked to the light-sensing domain of rhodopsin. Upon stimulation with visible light, we identify activation of canonical cell signaling pathways, including cAMP-, Ca2+-, MAPK/ERK-, and Rho-dependent pathways, downstream of the engineered receptors. For the human pseudogene GPR33, we resurrect a signaling function that supports its hypothesized role as a pathogen entry site. These results demonstrate that substituting unknown chemical activators with a light switch can reveal information about protein function and provide an optically controlled protein library for exploring the physiology and therapeutic potential of understudied GPCRs. article_number: '1950' article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Maurizio full_name: Morri, Maurizio id: 4863116E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Morri - first_name: Inmaculada full_name: Sanchez-Romero, Inmaculada id: 3D9C5D30-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sanchez-Romero - first_name: Alexandra-Madelaine full_name: Tichy, Alexandra-Madelaine id: 29D8BB2C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Tichy - first_name: Stephanie full_name: Kainrath, Stephanie id: 32CFBA64-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kainrath - first_name: Elliot J. full_name: Gerrard, Elliot J. last_name: Gerrard - first_name: Priscila full_name: Hirschfeld, Priscila id: 435ACB3A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Hirschfeld - first_name: Jan full_name: Schwarz, Jan id: 346C1EC6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Schwarz - first_name: Harald L full_name: Janovjak, Harald L id: 33BA6C30-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Janovjak orcid: 0000-0002-8023-9315 citation: ama: Morri M, Sanchez-Romero I, Tichy A-M, et al.

Polymerization at the leading edge assembles the actin filament network and generates protrusion force. How this force is supported by the network and how the assembly rate is shared between protrusion and network retrograde flow determines the protrusion rate. We use mathematical modeling to understand experiments changing the F-actin density in lamellipodia of B16-F1 melanoma cells by modulation of Arp2/3 complex activity or knockout of the formins FMNL2 and FMNL3. Cells respond to a reduction of density with a decrease of protrusion velocity, an increase in the ratio of force to filament number, but constant network assembly rate. The relation between protrusion force and tension gradient in the F-actin network and the density dependency of friction, elasticity, and viscosity of the network explain the experimental observations. The formins act as filament nucleators and elongators with differential rates. Modulation of their activity suggests an effect on network assembly rate. Contrary to these expectations, the effect of changes in elongator composition is much weaker than the consequences of the density change. We conclude that the force acting on the leading edge membrane is the force required to drive F-actin network retrograde flow. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Setareh full_name: Dolati, Setareh last_name: Dolati - first_name: Frieda full_name: Kage, Frieda last_name: Kage - first_name: Jan full_name: Mueller, Jan last_name: Mueller - first_name: Mathias full_name: Müsken, Mathias last_name: Müsken - first_name: Marieluise full_name: Kirchner, Marieluise last_name: Kirchner - first_name: Gunnar full_name: Dittmar, Gunnar last_name: Dittmar - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 - first_name: Klemens full_name: Rottner, Klemens last_name: Rottner - first_name: Martin full_name: Falcke, Martin last_name: Falcke citation: ama: Dolati S, Kage F, Mueller J, et al.

How the T cell actomyosin cytoskeleton facilitates this task in distinct environments is incompletely understood. Here, we show that lack of Myosin IXb (Myo9b), a negative regulator of the small GTPase Rho, led to increased Rho-GTP levels and cell surface stiffness in primary T cells. Nonetheless, intravital imaging revealed robust motility of Myo9b−/− CD8+ T cells in lymphoid tissue and similar expansion and differentiation during immune responses. In contrast, accumulation of Myo9b−/− CD8+ T cells in NLTs was strongly impaired. Specifically, Myo9b was required for T cell crossing of basement membranes, such as those which are present between dermis and epidermis. As consequence, Myo9b−/− CD8+ T cells showed impaired control of skin infections. In sum, we show that Myo9b is critical for the CD8+ T cell adaptation from lymphoid to NLT surveillance and the establishment of protective tissue–resident T cell populations. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Federica full_name: Moalli, Federica last_name: Moalli - first_name: Xenia full_name: Ficht, Xenia last_name: Ficht - first_name: Philipp full_name: Germann, Philipp last_name: Germann - first_name: Mykhailo full_name: Vladymyrov, Mykhailo last_name: Vladymyrov - first_name: Bettina full_name: Stolp, Bettina last_name: Stolp - first_name: Ingrid full_name: de Vries, Ingrid id: 4C7D837E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: de Vries - first_name: Ruth full_name: Lyck, Ruth last_name: Lyck - first_name: Jasmin full_name: Balmer, Jasmin last_name: Balmer - first_name: Amleto full_name: Fiocchi, Amleto last_name: Fiocchi - first_name: Mario full_name: Kreutzfeldt, Mario last_name: Kreutzfeldt - first_name: Doron full_name: Merkler, Doron last_name: Merkler - first_name: Matteo full_name: Iannacone, Matteo last_name: Iannacone - first_name: Akitaka full_name: Ariga, Akitaka last_name: Ariga - first_name: Michael H. full_name: Stoffel, Michael H. last_name: Stoffel - first_name: James full_name: Sharpe, James last_name: Sharpe - first_name: Martin full_name: Bähler, Martin last_name: Bähler - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 - first_name: Alba full_name: Diz-Muñoz, Alba last_name: Diz-Muñoz - first_name: Jens V. full_name: Stein, Jens V. last_name: Stein citation: ama: Moalli F, Ficht X, Germann P, et al.

Although lymph node metastasis in cancer patients correlates with poor prognosis, evidence is lacking as to whether and how tumor cells enter the bloodstream via lymph nodes. To investigate this question, we delivered carcinoma cells into the lymph nodes of mice by microinfusing the cells into afferent lymphatic vessels. We found that tumor cells rapidly infiltrated the lymph node parenchyma, invaded blood vessels, and seeded lung metastases without involvement of the thoracic duct. These results suggest that the lymph node blood vessels can serve as an exit route for systemic dissemination of cancer cells in experimental mouse models. Whether this form of tumor cell spreading occurs in cancer patients remains to be determined. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio acknowledgement: "M.B. was supported by the Cell Communication in Health and Disease graduate study program of the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) and the Medical University of Vienna.

Branched actin networks construct lamellipodial protrusions at the leading edge of migrating cells. These are typically seen as adhesive structures, which mediate force transduction to the extracellular matrix that leads to forward locomotion. We ablated Arp2/3 nucleation promoting factor WAVE in DCs and found that the resulting cells lack lamellipodial protrusions. Instead, depending on the maturation state, one or multiple filopodia were formed. By challenging these cells in a variety of migration assays we found that lamellipodial protrusions are dispensable for the locomotion of leukocytes and actually dampen the speed of migration. However, lamellipodia are critically required to negotiate complex environments that DCs experience while they travel to the next draining lymph node. Taken together our results suggest that leukocyte lamellipodia have rather a sensory- than a force transducing function. Furthermore, we show for the first time structure and dynamics of dendritic cell F-actin at the immunological synapse with naïve T cells. Dendritic cell F-actin appears as dynamic foci that are nucleated by the Arp2/3 complex. WAVE ablated dendritic cells show increased membrane tension, leading to an altered ultrastructure of the immunological synapse and severe T cell priming defects. These results point towards a previously unappreciated role of the cellular mechanics of dendritic cells in T cell activation. Additionally, we present a novel cell culture based system for the differentiation of dendritic cells from conditionally immortalized hematopoietic precursors. These precursor cells are genetically tractable via the CRISPR/Cas9 system while they retain their ability to differentiate into highly migratory dendritic cells and other immune cells. This will foster the study of all aspects of dendritic cell biology and beyond.

Here, we used in vivo precision morphometry together with analysis of cytoskeletal dynamics in vitro to deconstruct the basic mechanisms of T cell migration within lymphatic organs. We show that the contributions of the integrin LFA-1 and the chemokine receptor CCR7 are complementary rather than positioned in a linear pathway, as they are during leukocyte extravasation from the blood vasculature. Our data demonstrate that CCR7 controls cortical actin flows, whereas integrins mediate substrate friction that is sufficient to drive locomotion in the absence of considerable surface adhesions and plasma membrane flux. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: SSU acknowledgement: This work was funded by grants from the European Research Council (ERC StG 281556 and CoG 724373) and the Austrian Science Foundation (FWF) to M.S. and by Swiss National Foundation (SNF) project grants 31003A_135649, 31003A_153457 and CR23I3_156234 to J.V.S.

We quantified actin filament order in human cells using fluorescence polarization microscopy and found that cleavage furrow ingression initiates by contraction of an equatorial actin network with randomly oriented filaments. The network subsequently gradually reoriented actin filaments along the cell equator. This strictly depended on myosin II activity, suggesting local network reorganization by mechanical forces. Cortical laser microsurgery revealed that during cytokinesis progression, mechanical tension increased substantially along the direction of the cell equator, while the network contracted laterally along the pole-to-pole axis without a detectable increase in tension. Our data suggest that an asymmetric increase in cortical tension promotes filament reorientation along the cytokinetic cleavage furrow, which might have implications for diverse other biological processes involving actomyosin rings. article_number: e30867 author: - first_name: Felix full_name: Spira, Felix last_name: Spira - first_name: Sara full_name: Cuylen Haering, Sara last_name: Cuylen Haering - first_name: Shalin full_name: Mehta, Shalin last_name: Mehta - first_name: Matthias full_name: Samwer, Matthias last_name: Samwer - first_name: Anne full_name: Reversat, Anne id: 35B76592-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Reversat orcid: 0000-0003-0666-8928 - first_name: Amitabh full_name: Verma, Amitabh last_name: Verma - first_name: Rudolf full_name: Oldenbourg, Rudolf last_name: Oldenbourg - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 - first_name: Daniel full_name: Gerlich, Daniel last_name: Gerlich citation: ama: Spira F, Cuylen Haering S, Mehta S, et al.

Despite these versatile tasks in mammalian biology, their skills on a cellular level are deemed limited, mainly consisting in rolling, adhesion, and aggregate formation. Here, we identify an unappreciated asset of platelets and show that adherent platelets use adhesion receptors to mechanically probe the adhesive substrate in their local microenvironment. When actomyosin-dependent traction forces overcome substrate resistance, platelets migrate and pile up the adhesive substrate together with any bound particulate material. They use this ability to act as cellular scavengers, scanning the vascular surface for potential invaders and collecting deposited bacteria. Microbe collection by migrating platelets boosts the activity of professional phagocytes, exacerbating inflammatory tissue injury in sepsis. This assigns platelets a central role in innate immune responses and identifies them as potential targets to dampen inflammatory tissue damage in clinical scenarios of severe systemic infection. In addition to their role in thrombosis and hemostasis, platelets can also migrate to sites of infection to help trap bacteria and clear the vascular surface. author: - first_name: Florian R full_name: Gärtner, Florian R id: 397A88EE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Gärtner orcid: 0000-0001-6120-3723 - first_name: Zerkah full_name: Ahmad, Zerkah last_name: Ahmad - first_name: Gerhild full_name: Rosenberger, Gerhild last_name: Rosenberger - first_name: Shuxia full_name: Fan, Shuxia last_name: Fan - first_name: Leo full_name: Nicolai, Leo last_name: Nicolai - first_name: Benjamin full_name: Busch, Benjamin last_name: Busch - first_name: Gökce full_name: Yavuz, Gökce last_name: Yavuz - first_name: Manja full_name: Luckner, Manja last_name: Luckner - first_name: Hellen full_name: Ishikawa Ankerhold, Hellen last_name: Ishikawa Ankerhold - first_name: Roman full_name: Hennel, Roman last_name: Hennel - first_name: Alexandre full_name: Benechet, Alexandre last_name: Benechet - first_name: Michael full_name: Lorenz, Michael last_name: Lorenz - first_name: Sue full_name: Chandraratne, Sue last_name: Chandraratne - first_name: Irene full_name: Schubert, Irene last_name: Schubert - first_name: Sebastian full_name: Helmer, Sebastian last_name: Helmer - first_name: Bianca full_name: Striednig, Bianca last_name: Striednig - first_name: Konstantin full_name: Stark, Konstantin last_name: Stark - first_name: Marek full_name: Janko, Marek last_name: Janko - first_name: Ralph full_name: Böttcher, Ralph last_name: Böttcher - first_name: Admar full_name: Verschoor, Admar last_name: Verschoor - first_name: Catherine full_name: Leon, Catherine last_name: Leon - first_name: Christian full_name: Gachet, Christian last_name: Gachet - first_name: Thomas full_name: Gudermann, Thomas last_name: Gudermann - first_name: Michael full_name: Mederos Y Schnitzler, Michael last_name: Mederos Y Schnitzler - first_name: Zachary full_name: Pincus, Zachary last_name: Pincus - first_name: Matteo full_name: Iannacone, Matteo last_name: Iannacone - first_name: Rainer full_name: Haas, Rainer last_name: Haas - first_name: Gerhard full_name: Wanner, Gerhard last_name: Wanner - first_name: Kirsten full_name: Lauber, Kirsten last_name: Lauber - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 - first_name: Steffen full_name: Massberg, Steffen last_name: Massberg citation: ama: Gärtner FR, Ahmad Z, Rosenberger G, et al.

The formins FMNL2 and FMNL3 are Cdc42 effectors targeting to the lamellipodium tip and shown here to nucleate and elongate actin filaments with complementary activities in vitro. In migrating B16-F1 melanoma cells, both formins contribute to the velocity of lamellipodium protrusion. Loss of FMNL2/3 function in melanoma cells and fibroblasts reduces lamellipodial width, actin filament density and -bundling, without changing patterns of Arp2/3 complex incorporation. Strikingly, in melanoma cells, FMNL2/3 gene inactivation almost completely abolishes protrusion forces exerted by lamellipodia and modifies their ultrastructural organization. Consistently, CRISPR/Cas-mediated depletion of FMNL2/3 in fibroblasts reduces both migration and capability of cells to move against viscous media. Together, we conclude that force generation in lamellipodia strongly depends on FMNL formin activity, operating in addition to Arp2/3 complex-dependent filament branching. article_number: '14832' article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Frieda full_name: Kage, Frieda last_name: Kage - first_name: Moritz full_name: Winterhoff, Moritz last_name: Winterhoff - first_name: Vanessa full_name: Dimchev, Vanessa last_name: Dimchev - first_name: Jan full_name: Müller, Jan id: AD07FDB4-0F61-11EA-8158-C4CC64CEAA8D last_name: Müller - first_name: Tobias full_name: Thalheim, Tobias last_name: Thalheim - first_name: Anika full_name: Freise, Anika last_name: Freise - first_name: Stefan full_name: Brühmann, Stefan last_name: Brühmann - first_name: Jana full_name: Kollasser, Jana last_name: Kollasser - first_name: Jennifer full_name: Block, Jennifer last_name: Block - first_name: Georgi A full_name: Dimchev, Georgi A last_name: Dimchev - first_name: Matthias full_name: Geyer, Matthias last_name: Geyer - first_name: Hams full_name: Schnittler, Hams last_name: Schnittler - first_name: Cord full_name: Brakebusch, Cord last_name: Brakebusch - first_name: Theresia full_name: Stradal, Theresia last_name: Stradal - first_name: Marie full_name: Carlier, Marie last_name: Carlier - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 - first_name: Josef full_name: Käs, Josef last_name: Käs - first_name: Jan full_name: Faix, Jan last_name: Faix - first_name: Klemens full_name: Rottner, Klemens last_name: Rottner citation: ama: Kage F, Winterhoff M, Dimchev V, et al.

Using spinning disk confocal microscopy to image filopodial dynamics in mouse resident Lifeact-EGFP macrophages, we show that filopodia, or filopodia-like structures, support pathogen clearance by multiple means. Filopodia supported the phagocytic uptake of bacterial (Escherichia coli) particles by (i) capturing along the filopodial shaft and surfing toward the cell body, the most common mode of capture; (ii) capturing via the tip followed by retraction; (iii) combinations of surfing and retraction; or (iv) sweeping actions. In addition, filopodia supported the uptake of zymosan (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) particles by (i) providing fixation, (ii) capturing at the tip and filopodia-guided actin anterograde flow with phagocytic cup formation, and (iii) the rapid growth of new protrusions. To explore the role of filopodia-inducing Cdc42, we generated myeloid-restricted Cdc42 knock-out mice. Cdc42-deficient macrophages exhibited rapid phagocytic cup kinetics, but reduced particle clearance, which could be explained by the marked rounded-up morphology of these cells. Macrophages lacking Myo10, thought to act downstream of Cdc42, had normal morphology, motility, and phagocytic cup formation, but displayed markedly reduced filopodia formation. In conclusion, live-cell imaging revealed multiple mechanisms involving macrophage filopodia in particle capture and engulfment. Cdc42 is not critical for filopodia or phagocytic cup formation, but plays a key role in driving macrophage lamellipodial spreading. article_type: original author: - first_name: Markus full_name: Horsthemke, Markus last_name: Horsthemke - first_name: Anne full_name: Bachg, Anne last_name: Bachg - first_name: Katharina full_name: Groll, Katharina last_name: Groll - first_name: Sven full_name: Moyzio, Sven last_name: Moyzio - first_name: Barbara full_name: Müther, Barbara last_name: Müther - first_name: Sandra full_name: Hemkemeyer, Sandra last_name: Hemkemeyer - first_name: Roland full_name: Wedlich Söldner, Roland last_name: Wedlich Söldner - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 - first_name: Sebastian full_name: Tacke, Sebastian last_name: Tacke - first_name: Martin full_name: Bähler, Martin last_name: Bähler - first_name: Peter full_name: Hanley, Peter last_name: Hanley citation: ama: Horsthemke M, Bachg A, Groll K, et al.

How monolayers cooperate with the penetrating cells to support their transit is poorly understood. We studied dendritic cell (DC) entry into lymphatic capillaries as a model system for transendothelial migration. We find that the chemokine CCL21, which is the decisive guidance cue for intravasation, mainly localizes in the trans-Golgi network and intracellular vesicles of lymphatic endothelial cells. Upon DC transmigration, these Golgi deposits disperse and CCL21 becomes extracellularly enriched at the sites of endothelial cell-cell junctions. When we reconstitute the transmigration process in vitro, we find that secretion of CCL21-positive vesicles is triggered by a DC contact-induced calcium signal, and selective calcium chelation in lymphatic endothelium attenuates transmigration. Altogether, our data demonstrate a chemokine-mediated feedback between DCs and lymphatic endothelium, which facilitates transendothelial migration. article_processing_charge: Yes author: - first_name: Kari full_name: Vaahtomeri, Kari id: 368EE576-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Vaahtomeri orcid: 0000-0001-7829-3518 - first_name: Markus full_name: Brown, Markus id: 3DAB9AFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Brown - first_name: Robert full_name: Hauschild, Robert id: 4E01D6B4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Hauschild orcid: 0000-0001-9843-3522 - first_name: Ingrid full_name: De Vries, Ingrid id: 4C7D837E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: De Vries - first_name: Alexander F full_name: Leithner, Alexander F id: 3B1B77E4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Leithner - first_name: Matthias full_name: Mehling, Matthias id: 3C23B994-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Mehling orcid: 0000-0001-8599-1226 - first_name: Walter full_name: Kaufmann, Walter id: 3F99E422-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kaufmann orcid: 0000-0001-9735-5315 - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 citation: ama: Vaahtomeri K, Brown M, Hauschild R, et al.

Gradients can either be soluble or immobilized to tissues as demonstrated for the haptotactic migration of dendritic cells (DCs) toward higher concentrations of immobilized chemokine CCL21. To elucidate how gradient characteristics govern cellular response patterns, we here introduce an in vitro system allowing to track migratory responses of DCs to precisely controlled immobilized gradients of CCL21. We find that haptotactic sensing depends on the absolute CCL21 concentration and local steepness of the gradient, consistent with a scenario where DC directionality is governed by the signal-to-noise ratio of CCL21 binding to the receptor CCR7. We find that the conditions for optimal DC guidance are perfectly provided by the CCL21 gradients we measure in vivo. Furthermore, we find that CCR7 signal termination by the G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 6 (GRK6) is crucial for haptotactic but dispensable for chemotactic CCL21 gradient sensing in vitro and confirm those observations in vivo. These findings suggest that stable, tissue-bound CCL21 gradients as sustainable “roads” ensure optimal guidance in vivo. author: - first_name: Jan full_name: Schwarz, Jan id: 346C1EC6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Schwarz - first_name: Veronika full_name: Bierbaum, Veronika id: 3FD04378-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Bierbaum - first_name: Kari full_name: Vaahtomeri, Kari id: 368EE576-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Vaahtomeri orcid: 0000-0001-7829-3518 - first_name: Robert full_name: Hauschild, Robert id: 4E01D6B4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Hauschild orcid: 0000-0001-9843-3522 - first_name: Markus full_name: Brown, Markus id: 3DAB9AFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Brown - first_name: Ingrid full_name: De Vries, Ingrid id: 4C7D837E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: De Vries - first_name: Alexander F full_name: Leithner, Alexander F id: 3B1B77E4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Leithner - first_name: Anne full_name: Reversat, Anne id: 35B76592-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Reversat orcid: 0000-0003-0666-8928 - first_name: Jack full_name: Merrin, Jack id: 4515C308-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Merrin orcid: 0000-0001-5145-4609 - first_name: Teresa full_name: Tarrant, Teresa last_name: Tarrant - first_name: Tobias full_name: Bollenbach, Tobias id: 3E6DB97A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Bollenbach orcid: 0000-0003-4398-476X - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 citation: ama: Schwarz J, Bierbaum V, Vaahtomeri K, et al.

It is required for resistance against genotoxic agents and is involved in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by homologous recombination (HR). However, the causes of the HR defect in INO80-C mutant cells are controversial. Here, we unite previous findings using a system to study HR with high spatial resolution in budding yeast. We find that INO80-C has at least two distinct functions during HR—DNA end resection and presynaptic filament formation. Importantly, the second function is linked to the histone variant H2A.Z. In the absence of H2A.Z, presynaptic filament formation and HR are restored in INO80-C-deficient mutants, suggesting that presynaptic filament formation is the crucial INO80-C function during HR. author: - first_name: Claudio full_name: Lademann, Claudio last_name: Lademann - first_name: Jörg full_name: Renkawitz, Jörg id: 3F0587C8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Renkawitz orcid: 0000-0003-2856-3369 - first_name: Boris full_name: Pfander, Boris last_name: Pfander - first_name: Stefan full_name: Jentsch, Stefan last_name: Jentsch citation: ama: Lademann C, Renkawitz J, Pfander B, Jentsch S.

To investigate adhesion plasticity, we have selected a stable isogenic subpopulation of human MDA-MB-468 breast carcinoma cells growing in suspension. These suspension cells are unable to re-adhere to various matrices or to contract three-dimensional collagen lattices. By using transcriptome analysis, we identified the focal adhesion protein tensin3 (Tns3) as a determinant of adhesion plasticity. Tns3 is strongly reduced at mRNA and protein levels in suspension cells. Furthermore, by transiently challenging breast cancer cells to grow under non-adherent conditions markedly reduces Tns3 protein expression, which is regained upon re-adhesion. Stable knockdown of Tns3 in parental MDA-MB-468 cells results in defective adhesion, spreading and migration. Tns3-knockdown cells display impaired structure and dynamics of focal adhesion complexes as determined by immunostaining. Restoration of Tns3 protein expression in suspension cells partially rescues adhesion and focal contact composition. Our work identifies Tns3 as a crucial focal adhesion component regulated by, and functionally contributing to, the switch between adhesive and non-adhesive states in MDA-MB-468 cancer cells. article_type: original author: - first_name: Astrid full_name: Veß, Astrid last_name: Veß - first_name: Ulrich full_name: Blache, Ulrich last_name: Blache - first_name: Laura full_name: Leitner, Laura last_name: Leitner - first_name: Angela full_name: Kurz, Angela last_name: Kurz - first_name: Anja full_name: Ehrenpfordt, Anja last_name: Ehrenpfordt - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 - first_name: Guido full_name: Posern, Guido last_name: Posern citation: ama: Veß A, Blache U, Leitner L, et al.

In vitro reconstitution studies suggest that the structure and the dynamics of actin networks respond to mechanical forces. We demonstrate that lamellipodial actin of migrating cells responds to mechanical load when membrane tension is modulated. In a steady state, migrating cell filaments assume the canonical dendritic geometry, defined by Arp2/3-generated 70° branch points. Increased tension triggers a dense network with a broadened range of angles, whereas decreased tension causes a shift to a sparse configuration dominated by filaments growing perpendicularly to the plasma membrane. We show that these responses emerge from the geometry of branched actin: when load per filament decreases, elongation speed increases and perpendicular filaments gradually outcompete others because they polymerize the shortest distance to the membrane, where they are protected from capping. This network-intrinsic geometrical adaptation mechanism tunes protrusive force in response to mechanical load.' acknowledged_ssus: - _id: ScienComp article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Jan full_name: Mueller, Jan last_name: Mueller - first_name: Gregory full_name: Szep, Gregory id: 4BFB7762-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Szep - first_name: Maria full_name: Nemethova, Maria id: 34E27F1C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Nemethova - first_name: Ingrid full_name: De Vries, Ingrid id: 4C7D837E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: De Vries - first_name: Arnon full_name: Lieber, Arnon last_name: Lieber - first_name: Christoph full_name: Winkler, Christoph last_name: Winkler - first_name: Karsten full_name: Kruse, Karsten last_name: Kruse - first_name: John full_name: Small, John last_name: Small - first_name: Christian full_name: Schmeiser, Christian last_name: Schmeiser - first_name: Kinneret full_name: Keren, Kinneret last_name: Keren - first_name: Robert full_name: Hauschild, Robert id: 4E01D6B4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Hauschild orcid: 0000-0001-9843-3522 - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 citation: ama: Mueller J, Szep G, Nemethova M, et al.

Neutrophils are exceptionally short-lived leukocytes, yet it remains unclear whether the lifespan of pathogen-engaged neutrophils is regulated differently from that in the circulating steady-state pool. Here, we have found that under homeostatic conditions, the mRNA-destabilizing protein tristetraprolin (TTP) regulates apoptosis and the numbers of activated infiltrating murine neutrophils but not neutrophil cellularity. Activated TTP-deficient neutrophils exhibited decreased apoptosis and enhanced accumulation at the infection site. In the context of myeloid-specific deletion of Ttp, the potentiation of neutrophil deployment protected mice against lethal soft tissue infection with Streptococcus pyogenes and prevented bacterial dissemination. Neutrophil transcriptome analysis revealed that decreased apoptosis of TTP-deficient neutrophils was specifically associated with elevated expression of myeloid cell leukemia 1 (Mcl1) but not other antiapoptotic B cell leukemia/ lymphoma 2 (Bcl2) family members. Higher Mcl1 expression resulted from stabilization of Mcl1 mRNA in the absence of TTP. The low apoptosis rate of infiltrating TTP-deficient neutrophils was comparable to that of transgenic Mcl1-overexpressing neutrophils. Our study demonstrates that posttranscriptional gene regulation by TTP schedules the termination of the antimicrobial engagement of neutrophils. The balancing role of TTP comes at the cost of an increased risk of bacterial infections. acknowledgement: This work was supported by grants from the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) (P27538-B21, I1621-B22, and SFB 43, to PK); by funding from the European Union Seventh Framework Programme Marie Curie Initial Training Networks (FP7-PEOPLE-2012-ITN) for the project INBIONET (INfection BIOlogy Training NETwork under grant agreement PITN-GA-2012-316682; and by a joint research cluster initiative of the University of Vienna and the Medical University of Vienna. author: - first_name: Florian full_name: Ebner, Florian last_name: Ebner - first_name: Vitaly full_name: Sedlyarov, Vitaly last_name: Sedlyarov - first_name: Saren full_name: Tasciyan, Saren id: 4323B49C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Tasciyan orcid: 0000-0003-1671-393X - first_name: Masa full_name: Ivin, Masa last_name: Ivin - first_name: Franz full_name: Kratochvill, Franz last_name: Kratochvill - first_name: Nina full_name: Gratz, Nina last_name: Gratz - first_name: Lukas full_name: Kenner, Lukas last_name: Kenner - first_name: Andreas full_name: Villunger, Andreas last_name: Villunger - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 - first_name: Pavel full_name: Kovarik, Pavel last_name: Kovarik citation: ama: Ebner F, Sedlyarov V, Tasciyan S, et al.

The consequences of RASGRP1 mutations in humans are unknown. In a patient with recurrent bacterial and viral infections, born to healthy consanguineous parents, we used homozygosity mapping and exome sequencing to identify a biallelic stop-gain variant in RASGRP1. This variant segregated perfectly with the disease and has not been reported in genetic databases. RASGRP1 deficiency was associated in T cells and B cells with decreased phosphorylation of the extracellular-signal-regulated serine kinase ERK, which was restored following expression of wild-type RASGRP1. RASGRP1 deficiency also resulted in defective proliferation, activation and motility of T cells and B cells. RASGRP1-deficient natural killer (NK) cells exhibited impaired cytotoxicity with defective granule convergence and actin accumulation. Interaction proteomics identified the dynein light chain DYNLL1 as interacting with RASGRP1, which links RASGRP1 to cytoskeletal dynamics. RASGRP1-deficient cells showed decreased activation of the GTPase RhoA. Treatment with lenalidomide increased RhoA activity and reversed the migration and activation defects of RASGRP1-deficient lymphocytes. article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Elisabeth full_name: Salzer, Elisabeth last_name: Salzer - first_name: Deniz full_name: Çaǧdaş, Deniz last_name: Çaǧdaş - first_name: Miroslav full_name: Hons, Miroslav id: 4167FE56-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Hons orcid: 0000-0002-6625-3348 - first_name: Emily full_name: Mace, Emily last_name: Mace - first_name: Wojciech full_name: Garncarz, Wojciech last_name: Garncarz - first_name: Oezlem full_name: Petronczki, Oezlem last_name: Petronczki - first_name: René full_name: Platzer, René last_name: Platzer - first_name: Laurène full_name: Pfajfer, Laurène last_name: Pfajfer - first_name: Ivan full_name: Bilic, Ivan last_name: Bilic - first_name: Sol full_name: Ban, Sol last_name: Ban - first_name: Katharina full_name: Willmann, Katharina last_name: Willmann - first_name: Malini full_name: Mukherjee, Malini last_name: Mukherjee - first_name: Verena full_name: Supper, Verena last_name: Supper - first_name: Hsiangting full_name: Hsu, Hsiangting last_name: Hsu - first_name: Pinaki full_name: Banerjee, Pinaki last_name: Banerjee - first_name: Papiya full_name: Sinha, Papiya last_name: Sinha - first_name: Fabienne full_name: Mcclanahan, Fabienne last_name: Mcclanahan - first_name: Gerhard full_name: Zlabinger, Gerhard last_name: Zlabinger - first_name: Winfried full_name: Pickl, Winfried last_name: Pickl - first_name: John full_name: Gribben, John last_name: Gribben - first_name: Hannes full_name: Stockinger, Hannes last_name: Stockinger - first_name: Keiryn full_name: Bennett, Keiryn last_name: Bennett - first_name: Johannes full_name: Huppa, Johannes last_name: Huppa - first_name: Loï̈C full_name: Dupré, Loï̈C last_name: Dupré - first_name: Özden full_name: Sanal, Özden last_name: Sanal - first_name: Ulrich full_name: Jäger, Ulrich last_name: Jäger - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 - first_name: Ilhan full_name: Tezcan, Ilhan last_name: Tezcan - first_name: Jordan full_name: Orange, Jordan last_name: Orange - first_name: Kaan full_name: Boztug, Kaan last_name: Boztug citation: ama: Salzer E, Çaǧdaş D, Hons M, et al.

These detrimental effects are commonly considered to be a consequence of heme-iron serving as a nutrient for bacteria. We employed a Gram-negative sepsis model and found that elevated heme levels impaired the control of bacterial proliferation independently of heme-iron acquisition by pathogens. Heme strongly inhibited phagocytosis and the migration of human and mouse phagocytes by disrupting actin cytoskeletal dynamics via activation of the GTP-binding Rho family protein Cdc42 by the guanine nucleotide exchange factor DOCK8. A chemical screening approach revealed that quinine effectively prevented heme effects on the cytoskeleton, restored phagocytosis and improved survival in sepsis. These mechanistic insights provide potential therapeutic targets for patients with sepsis or hemolytic disorders. acknowledgement: 'Y.

It is governed by cell-extrinsic molecular factors, which can either emerge in the soluble phase or as immobilized, often adhesive ligands. To encode for direction, every cue must be present as a spatial or temporal gradient. Here, we developed a microfluidic chamber that allows measurement of cell migration in combined response to surface immobilized and soluble molecular gradients. As a proof of principle we study the response of dendritic cells to their major guidance cues, chemokines. The majority of data on chemokine gradient sensing is based on in vitro studies employing soluble gradients. Despite evidence suggesting that in vivo chemokines are often immobilized to sugar residues, limited information is available how cells respond to immobilized chemokines. We tracked migration of dendritic cells towards immobilized gradients of the chemokine CCL21 and varying superimposed soluble gradients of CCL19. Differential migratory patterns illustrate the potential of our setup to quantitatively study the competitive response to both types of gradients. Beyond chemokines our approach is broadly applicable to alternative systems of chemo- and haptotaxis such as cells migrating along gradients of adhesion receptor ligands vs. any soluble cue. \r\n" acknowledgement: 'This work was supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (Ambizione fellowship; PZ00P3-154733 to M.M.), the Swiss Multiple Sclerosis Society (research support to M.M.), a fellowship from the Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds (BIF) to J.S., the European Research Council (grant ERC GA 281556) and a START award from the Austrian Science Foundation (FWF) to M.S. #BioimagingFacility' article_number: '36440' author: - first_name: Jan full_name: Schwarz, Jan id: 346C1EC6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Schwarz - first_name: Veronika full_name: Bierbaum, Veronika id: 3FD04378-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Bierbaum - first_name: Jack full_name: Merrin, Jack id: 4515C308-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Merrin orcid: 0000-0001-5145-4609 - first_name: Tino full_name: Frank, Tino last_name: Frank - first_name: Robert full_name: Hauschild, Robert id: 4E01D6B4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Hauschild orcid: 0000-0001-9843-3522 - first_name: Mark Tobias full_name: Bollenbach, Mark Tobias id: 3E6DB97A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Bollenbach orcid: 0000-0003-4398-476X - first_name: Savaş full_name: Tay, Savaş last_name: Tay - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 - first_name: Matthias full_name: Mehling, Matthias id: 3C23B994-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Mehling orcid: 0000-0001-8599-1226 citation: ama: Schwarz J, Bierbaum V, Merrin J, et al.

In this regard, prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2) is mostly considered a myeloid-derived immunosuppressive molecule. We describe for the first time that T cells secrete PGE 2 during T-cell receptor stimulation. In addition, we show that autocrine PGE 2 signaling through EP receptors is essential for optimal CD4 + T-cell activation in vitro and in vivo, and for T helper 1 (Th1) and regulatory T cell differentiation. PGE 2 was found to provide additive co-stimulatory signaling through AKT activation. Intravital multiphoton microscopy showed that triggering EP receptors in T cells is also essential for the stability of T cell-dendritic cell (DC) interactions and Th-cell accumulation in draining lymph nodes (LNs) during inflammation. We further demonstrated that blocking EP receptors in T cells during the initial phase of collagen-induced arthritis in mice resulted in a reduction of clinical arthritis. This could be attributable to defective T-cell activation, accompanied by a decline in activated and interferon-γ-producing CD4 + Th1 cells in draining LNs. In conclusion, we prove that T lymphocytes secret picomolar concentrations of PGE 2, which in turn provide additive co-stimulatory signaling, enabling T cells to attain a favorable activation threshold. PGE 2 signaling in T cells is also required for maintaining long and stable interactions with DCs within LNs. Blockade of EP receptors in vivo impairs T-cell activation and development of T cell-mediated inflammatory responses. This may have implications in various pathophysiological settings. acknowledgement: This manuscript has been supported by grants SAF2007-61716 and S-SAL-0159/2006 awarded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Education and the Community of Madrid to Dr M Fresno. author: - first_name: Vinatha full_name: Sreeramkumar, Vinatha last_name: Sreeramkumar - first_name: Miroslav full_name: Hons, Miroslav id: 4167FE56-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Hons orcid: 0000-0002-6625-3348 - first_name: Carmen full_name: Punzón, Carmen last_name: Punzón - first_name: Jens full_name: Stein, Jens last_name: Stein - first_name: David full_name: Sancho, David last_name: Sancho - first_name: Manuel full_name: Fresno Forcelledo, Manuel last_name: Fresno Forcelledo - first_name: Natalia full_name: Cuesta, Natalia last_name: Cuesta citation: ama: Sreeramkumar V, Hons M, Punzón C, et al.

Decades of investigations have uncovered many of the molecular and physical mechanisms underlying cell migration. Together with protrusion extension and cell body retraction, adhesion to the substrate via specific focal adhesion points has long been considered an essential step in cell migration. Although this is true for cells moving on two-dimensional substrates, recent studies have demonstrated that focal adhesions are not required for cells moving in three dimensions, in which confinement is sufficient to maintain a cell in contact with its substrate. Here, we review the investigations that have led to challenging the requirement of specific adhesions for migration, discuss the physical mechanisms proposed for cell body translocation during focal adhesion-independent migration, and highlight the remaining open questions for the future. acknowledgement: We would like to thank Dani Bodor for critical comments on the manuscript and Guillaume Salbreux for discussions.

This process occurs in several consecutive steps. Upon entry into lymphatic capillaries, DCs first actively crawl into downstream collecting vessels. From there, they are next passively and rapidly transported to the dLN by lymph flow. Here, we describe a role for the chemokine CCL21 in intralymphatic DC crawling. Performing time-lapse imaging in murine skin, we found that blockade of CCL21-but not the absence of lymph flow-completely abolished DC migration from capillaries toward collecting vessels and reduced the ability of intralymphatic DCs to emigrate from skin. Moreover, we found that in vitro low laminar flow established a CCL21 gradient along lymphatic endothelial monolayers, thereby inducing downstream-directed DC migration. These findings reveal a role for intralymphatic CCL21 in promoting DC trafficking to dLNs, through the formation of a flow-induced gradient. author: - first_name: Erica full_name: Russo, Erica last_name: Russo - first_name: Alvaro full_name: Teijeira, Alvaro last_name: Teijeira - first_name: Kari full_name: Vaahtomeri, Kari id: 368EE576-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Vaahtomeri orcid: 0000-0001-7829-3518 - first_name: Ann full_name: Willrodt, Ann last_name: Willrodt - first_name: Joël full_name: Bloch, Joël last_name: Bloch - first_name: Maximilian full_name: Nitschké, Maximilian last_name: Nitschké - first_name: Laura full_name: Santambrogio, Laura last_name: Santambrogio - first_name: Dontscho full_name: Kerjaschki, Dontscho last_name: Kerjaschki - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 - first_name: Cornelia full_name: Halin, Cornelia last_name: Halin citation: ama: Russo E, Teijeira A, Vaahtomeri K, et al.

This modification is essential for the recognition of the CCR7 ligand CCL21. As a consequence, dendritic cell trafficking is abrogated in polysialyltransferase-deficient mice, manifesting as disturbed lymph node homeostasis and unresponsiveness to inflammatory stimuli. Structure-function analysis of chemokine-receptor interactions reveals that CCL21 adopts an autoinhibited conformation, which is released upon interaction with polysialic acid.

Opposed to early assumptions, chemokines do not necessarily act as soluble cues but are often immobilized within tissues, e.g., dendritic cell migration toward lymphatic vessels is guided by a haptotactic gradient of the chemokine CCL21. Controlled assay systems to quantitatively study haptotaxis in vitro are still missing. In this chapter, we describe an in vitro haptotaxis assay optimized for the unique properties of dendritic cells. The chemokine CCL21 is immobilized in a bioactive state, using laser-assisted protein adsorption by photobleaching. The cells follow this immobilized CCL21 gradient in a haptotaxis chamber, which provides three dimensionally confined migration conditions. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio acknowledgement: This work was supported by the Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds, the European Research Council (ERC StG 281556), and a START Award of the Austrian Science Foundation (FWF).

Despite its importance, basic questions regarding force transduction\r\nor directional sensing are still heavily investigated. Directed migration of cells\r\nguided by immobilized guidance cues - haptotaxis - occurs in key-processes,\r\nsuch as embryonic development and immunity (Middleton et al., 1997; Nguyen\r\net al., 2000; Thiery, 1984; Weber et al., 2013). Immobilized guidance cues\r\ncomprise adhesive ligands, such as collagen and fibronectin (Barczyk et al.,\r\n2009), or chemokines - the main guidance cues for migratory leukocytes\r\n(Middleton et al., 1997; Weber et al., 2013). While adhesive ligands serve as\r\nattachment sites guiding cell migration (Carter, 1965), chemokines instruct\r\nhaptotactic migration by inducing adhesion to adhesive ligands and directional\r\nguidance (Rot and Andrian, 2004; Schumann et al., 2010). Quantitative analysis\r\nof the cellular response to immobilized guidance cues requires in vitro assays\r\nthat foster cell migration, offer accurate control of the immobilized cues on a\r\nsubcellular scale and in the ideal case closely reproduce in vivo conditions. The\r\nexploration of haptotactic cell migration through design and employment of such\r\nassays represents the main focus of this work.\r\nDendritic cells (DCs) are leukocytes, which after encountering danger\r\nsignals such as pathogens in peripheral organs instruct naïve T-cells and\r\nconsequently the adaptive immune response in the lymph node (Mellman and\r\nSteinman, 2001). To reach the lymph node from the periphery, DCs follow\r\nhaptotactic gradients of the chemokine CCL21 towards lymphatic vessels\r\n(Weber et al., 2013). Questions about how DCs interpret haptotactic CCL21\r\ngradients have not yet been addressed. The main reason for this is the lack of\r\nan assay that offers diverse haptotactic environments, hence allowing the study\r\nof DC migration as a response to different signals of immobilized guidance cue.\r\nIn this work, we developed an in vitro assay that enables us to\r\nquantitatively assess DC haptotaxis, by combining precisely controllable\r\nchemokine photo-patterning with physically confining migration conditions. With this tool at hand, we studied the influence of CCL21 gradient properties and\r\nconcentration on DC haptotaxis. We found that haptotactic gradient sensing\r\ndepends on the absolute CCL21 concentration in combination with the local\r\nsteepness of the gradient. Our analysis suggests that the directionality of\r\nmigrating DCs is governed by the signal-to-noise ratio of CCL21 binding to its\r\nreceptor CCR7. Moreover, the haptotactic CCL21 gradient formed in vivo\r\nprovides an optimal shape for DCs to recognize haptotactic guidance cue.\r\nBy reconstitution of the CCL21 gradient in vitro we were also able to\r\nstudy the influence of CCR7 signal termination on DC haptotaxis. To this end,\r\nwe used DCs lacking the G-protein coupled receptor kinase GRK6, which is\r\nresponsible for CCL21 induced CCR7 receptor phosphorylation and\r\ndesensitization (Zidar et al., 2009). We found that CCR7 desensitization by\r\nGRK6 is crucial for maintenance of haptotactic CCL21 gradient sensing in vitro\r\nand confirm those observations in vivo.\r\nIn the context of the organism, immobilized haptotactic guidance cues\r\noften coincide and compete with soluble chemotactic guidance cues. During\r\nwound healing, fibroblasts are exposed and influenced by adhesive cues and\r\nsoluble factors at the same time (Wu et al., 2012; Wynn, 2008). Similarly,\r\nmigrating DCs are exposed to both, soluble chemokines (CCL19 and truncated\r\nCCL21) inducing chemotactic behavior as well as the immobilized CCL21. To\r\nquantitatively assess these complex coinciding immobilized and soluble\r\nguidance cues, we implemented our chemokine photo-patterning technique in a\r\nmicrofluidic system allowing for chemotactic gradient generation. To validate\r\nthe assay, we observed DC migration in competing CCL19/CCL21\r\nenvironments.\r\nAdhesiveness guided haptotaxis has been studied intensively over the\r\nlast century. However, quantitative studies leading to conceptual models are\r\nlargely missing, again due to the lack of a precisely controllable in vitro assay. A\r\nrequirement for such an in vitro assay is that it must prevent any uncontrolled\r\ncell adhesion. This can be accomplished by stable passivation of the surface. In\r\naddition, controlled adhesion must be sustainable, quantifiable and dose\r\ndependent in order to create homogenous gradients. Therefore, we developed a novel covalent photo-patterning technique satisfying all these needs. In\r\ncombination with a sustainable poly-vinyl alcohol (PVA) surface coating we\r\nwere able to generate gradients of adhesive cue to direct cell migration. This\r\napproach allowed us to characterize the haptotactic migratory behavior of\r\nzebrafish keratocytes in vitro. Furthermore, defined patterns of adhesive cue\r\nallowed us to control for cell shape and growth on a subcellular scale." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio - _id: PreCl - _id: LifeSc acknowledgement: "First, I would like to thank Michael Sixt for being a great supervisor, mentor and\r\nscientist.
