Immunological challenge causes LNs to increase more than tenfold in size within a few days. Here, we characterized the biomechanics of LN swelling on the cellular and organ scale. We identified lymphocyte trapping by influx and proliferation as drivers of an outward pressure force, causing fibroblastic reticular cells of the T-zone (TRCs) and their associated conduits to stretch. After an initial phase of relaxation, TRCs sensed the resulting strain through cell matrix adhesions, which coordinated local growth and remodeling of the stromal network. While the expanded TRC network readopted its typical configuration, a massive fibrotic reaction of the organ capsule set in and countered further organ expansion. Thus, different fibroblast populations mechanically control LN swelling in a multitier fashion.' acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio - _id: EM-Fac - _id: PreCl - _id: LifeSc acknowledgement: This research was supported by the Scientific Service Units of IST Austria through resources provided by the Imaging and Optics, Electron Microscopy, Preclinical and Life Science Facilities.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Polymerization requires an initial nucleation step, which is mediated by factors establishing either parallel filaments in the case of filopodia or branched filaments that form the branched lamellipodial network. Branches are considered essential for regular cell motility and are initiated by the Arp2/3 complex, which in turn is activated by nucleation-promoting factors of the WASP and WAVE families. Here we employed rapid amoeboid crawling leukocytes and found that deletion of the WAVE complex eliminated actin branching and thus lamellipodia formation. The cells were left with parallel filaments at the leading edge, which translated, depending on the differentiation status of the cell, into a unipolar pointed cell shape or cells with multiple filopodia. Remarkably, unipolar cells migrated with increased speed and enormous directional persistence, while they were unable to turn towards chemotactic gradients. Cells with multiple filopodia retained chemotactic activity but their migration was progressively impaired with increasing geometrical complexity of the extracellular environment. These findings establish that diversified leading edge protrusions serve as explorative structures while they slow down actual locomotion. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: SSU acknowledgement: "This work was supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG) Priority Program SP 1464 to T.E.B.S. and M.S., and European Research Council (ERC GA 281556) and Human Frontiers Program grants to M.S.\r\nService Units of IST Austria for excellent technical support." article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - 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: Alexander full_name: Eichner, Alexander id: 4DFA52AE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Eichner - first_name: Jan full_name: Müller, Jan id: AD07FDB4-0F61-11EA-8158-C4CC64CEAA8D last_name: Müller - first_name: Anne full_name: Reversat, Anne id: 35B76592-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Reversat orcid: 0000-0003-0666-8928 - first_name: Markus full_name: Brown, Markus id: 3DAB9AFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Brown - first_name: Jan full_name: Schwarz, Jan id: 346C1EC6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Schwarz - first_name: Jack full_name: Merrin, Jack id: 4515C308-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Merrin orcid: 0000-0001-5145-4609 - first_name: David full_name: De Gorter, David last_name: De Gorter - first_name: Florian full_name: Schur, Florian id: 48AD8942-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Schur orcid: 0000-0003-4790-8078 - first_name: Jonathan full_name: Bayerl, Jonathan last_name: Bayerl - first_name: Ingrid full_name: De Vries, Ingrid id: 4C7D837E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: De Vries - first_name: Stefan full_name: Wieser, Stefan id: 355AA5A0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Wieser orcid: 0000-0002-2670-2217 - first_name: Robert full_name: Hauschild, Robert id: 4E01D6B4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Hauschild orcid: 0000-0001-9843-3522 - first_name: Frank full_name: Lai, Frank last_name: Lai - first_name: Markus full_name: Moser, Markus last_name: Moser - first_name: Dontscho full_name: Kerjaschki, Dontscho last_name: Kerjaschki - first_name: Klemens full_name: Rottner, Klemens last_name: Rottner - first_name: Victor full_name: Small, Victor last_name: Small - first_name: Theresia full_name: Stradal, Theresia last_name: Stradal - 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: Leithner AF, Eichner A, Müller J, et al.

In addition to individual immunity, social organisms can act cooperatively to produce collective defences. In many ant species, queens have the option to found a colony alone or in groups with other, often unrelated, conspecifics. These associations are transient, usually lasting only as long as each queen benefits from the presence of others. In fact, once the first workers emerge, queens fight to the death for dominance. One potential advantage of co-founding may be that queens benefit from collective disease defences, such as mutual grooming, that act against common soil pathogens. We test this hypothesis by exposing single and co-founding queens to a fungal parasite, in order to assess whether queens in co-founding associations have improved survival. Surprisingly, co-foundresses exposed to the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium did not engage in cooperative disease defences, and consequently, we find no direct benefit of multiple queens on survival. However, an indirect benefit was observed, with parasite-exposed queens producing more brood when they co-founded, than when they were alone. We suggest this is due to a trade-off between reproduction and immunity. Additionally, we report an extraordinary ability of the queens to tolerate an infection for long periods after parasite exposure. Our study suggests that there are no social immunity benefits for co-founding ant queens, but that in parasite-rich environments, the presence of additional queens may nevertheless improve the chances of colony founding success. author: - first_name: Christopher full_name: Pull, Christopher id: 3C7F4840-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Pull orcid: 0000-0003-1122-3982 - first_name: William full_name: Hughes, William last_name: Hughes - first_name: Markus full_name: Brown, Markus id: 3DAB9AFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Brown citation: ama: 'Pull C, Hughes W, Brown M.
