text: Attachment of adhesive molecules on cell culture surfaces to restrict cell
adhesion to defined areas and shapes has been vital for the progress of in vitro
research. In currently existing patterning methods, a combination of pattern properties
such as stability, precision, specificity, high-throughput outcome, and spatiotemporal
control is highly desirable but challenging to achieve. Here, we introduce a versatile
and high-throughput covalent photoimmobilization technique, comprising a light-dose-dependent
patterning step and a subsequent functionalization of the pattern via click chemistry.
This two-step process is feasible on arbitrary surfaces and allows for generation
of sustainable patterns and gradients. The method is validated in different biological
systems by patterning adhesive ligands on cell-repellent surfaces, thereby constraining
the growth and migration of cells to the designated areas. We then implement a
sequential photopatterning approach by adding a second switchable patterning step,
allowing for spatiotemporal control over two distinct surface patterns. As a proof
of concept, we reconstruct the dynamics of the tip/stalk cell switch during angiogenesis.
Our results show that the spatiotemporal control provided by our “sequential photopatterning”
system is essential for mimicking dynamic biological processes and that our innovative
approach has great potential for further applications in cell science.

text: Cell migration entails networks and bundles of actin filaments termed lamellipodia
and microspikes or filopodia, respectively, as well as focal adhesions, all of
which recruit Ena/VASP family members hitherto thought to antagonize efficient
cell motility. However, we find these proteins to act as positive regulators of
migration in different murine cell lines. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated loss of Ena/VASP
proteins reduced lamellipodial actin assembly and perturbed lamellipodial architecture,
as evidenced by changed network geometry as well as reduction of filament length
and number that was accompanied by abnormal Arp2/3 complex and heterodimeric capping
protein accumulation. Loss of Ena/VASP function also abolished the formation of
microspikes normally embedded in lamellipodia, but not of filopodia capable of
emanating without lamellipodia. Ena/VASP-deficiency also impaired integrin-mediated
adhesion accompanied by reduced traction forces exerted through these structures.
Our data thus uncover novel Ena/VASP functions of these actin polymerases that
are fully consistent with their promotion of cell migration.

text: The formation of neuronal dendrite branches is fundamental for the wiring
and function of the nervous system. 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.

text: 'Actin filaments polymerizing against membranes power endocytosis, vesicular
traffic, and cell motility. 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.'

text: Lamellipodia are sheet-like protrusions formed during migration or phagocytosis
and comprise a network of actin filaments. Filament formation in this network
is initiated by nucleation/branching through the actin-related protein 2/3 (Arp2/3)
complex downstream of its activator, suppressor of cAMP receptor/WASP-family verprolin
homologous (Scar/WAVE), but the relative relevance of Arp2/3-mediated branching
versus actin filament elongation is unknown. Here we use instantaneous interference
with Arp2/3 complex function in live fibroblasts with established lamellipodia.
This allows direct examination of both the fate of elongating filaments upon instantaneous
suppression of Arp2/3 complex activity and the consequences of this treatment
on the dynamics of other lamellipodial regulators. We show that Arp2/3 complex
is an essential organizer of treadmilling actin filament arrays but has little
effect on the net rate of actin filament turnover at the cell periphery. In addition,
Arp2/3 complex serves as key upstream factor for the recruitment of modulators
of lamellipodia formation such as capping protein or cofilin. Arp2/3 complex is
thus decisive for filament organization and geometry within the network not only
by generating branches and novel filament ends, but also by directing capping
or severing activities to the lamellipodium. Arp2/3 complex is also crucial to
lamellipodia-based migration of keratocytes.

text: Using correlated live-cell imaging and electron tomography we found that actin
branch junctions in protruding and treadmilling lamellipodia are not concentrated
at the front as previously supposed, but link actin filament subsets in which
there is a continuum of distances from a junction to the filament plus ends, for
up to at least 1 mm. When branch sites were observed closely spaced on the same
filament their separation was commonly a multiple of the actin helical repeat
of 36 nm. Image averaging of branch junctions in the tomograms yielded a model
for the in vivo branch at 2.9 nm resolution, which was comparable with that derived
for the in vitro actin- Arp2/3 complex. Lamellipodium initiation was monitored
in an intracellular wound-healing model and was found to involve branching from
the sides of actin filaments oriented parallel to the plasmalemma. Many filament
plus ends, presumably capped, terminated behind the lamellipodium tip and localized
on the dorsal and ventral surfaces of the actin network. These findings reveal
how branching events initiate and maintain a network of actin filaments of variable
length, and provide the first structural model of the branch junction in vivo.
A possible role of filament capping in generating the lamellipodium leaflet is
discussed and a mathematical model of protrusion is also presented.
