--- _id: '14795' abstract: - lang: eng text: Metazoan development relies on the formation and remodeling of cell-cell contacts. Dynamic reorganization of adhesion receptors and the actomyosin cell cortex in space and time plays a central role in cell-cell contact formation and maturation. Nevertheless, how this process is mechanistically achieved when new contacts are formed remains unclear. Here, by building a biomimetic assay composed of progenitor cells adhering to supported lipid bilayers functionalized with E-cadherin ectodomains, we show that cortical F-actin flows, driven by the depletion of myosin-2 at the cell contact center, mediate the dynamic reorganization of adhesion receptors and cell cortex at the contact. E-cadherin-dependent downregulation of the small GTPase RhoA at the forming contact leads to both a depletion of myosin-2 and a decrease of F-actin at the contact center. At the contact rim, in contrast, myosin-2 becomes enriched by the retraction of bleb-like protrusions, resulting in a cortical tension gradient from the contact rim to its center. This tension gradient, in turn, triggers centrifugal F-actin flows, leading to further accumulation of F-actin at the contact rim and the progressive redistribution of E-cadherin from the contact center to the rim. Eventually, this combination of actomyosin downregulation and flows at the contact determines the characteristic molecular organization, with E-cadherin and F-actin accumulating at the contact rim, where they are needed to mechanically link the contractile cortices of the adhering cells. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio - _id: PreCl acknowledgement: "We are grateful to Edwin Munro for their feedback and help with the single particle analysis.

In vertebrate gastrulation, both Nodal and BMP signaling play key roles in germ layer specification and morphogenesis, yet their interplay to coordinate embryo patterning with morphogenesis is still insufficiently understood. Here, we took a reductionist approach using zebrafish embryonic explants to study the coordination of Nodal and BMP signaling for embryo patterning and morphogenesis. We show that Nodal signaling triggers explant elongation by inducing mesendodermal progenitors but also suppressing BMP signaling activity at the site of mesendoderm induction. Consistent with this, ectopic BMP signaling in the mesendoderm blocks cell alignment and oriented mesendoderm intercalations, key processes during explant elongation. Translating these ex vivo observations to the intact embryo showed that, similar to explants, Nodal signaling suppresses the effect of BMP signaling on cell intercalations in the dorsal domain, thus allowing robust embryonic axis elongation. These findings suggest a dual function of Nodal signaling in embryonic axis elongation by both inducing mesendoderm and suppressing BMP effects in the dorsal portion of the mesendoderm. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio - _id: LifeSc acknowledgement: "We thank Patrick Müller for sharing the chordintt250 mutant zebrafish line as well as the plasmid for chrd-GFP, Katherine Rogers for sharing the bmp2b plasmid and Andrea Pauli for sharing the draculin plasmid.

However, how these cortical flows interact with adjacent cytoplasmic components, changing their form and localization, and how this affects cytoplasmic organization and cell shape remains unclear. Here we show that in ascidian oocytes, the cooperative activities of cortical actomyosin flows and deformation of the adjacent mitochondria-rich myoplasm drive oocyte cytoplasmic reorganization and shape changes following fertilization. We show that vegetal-directed cortical actomyosin flows, established upon oocyte fertilization, lead to both the accumulation of cortical actin at the vegetal pole of the zygote and compression and local buckling of the adjacent elastic solid-like myoplasm layer due to friction forces generated at their interface. Once cortical flows have ceased, the multiple myoplasm buckles resolve into one larger buckle, which again drives the formation of the contraction pole—a protuberance of the zygote’s vegetal pole where maternal mRNAs accumulate. Thus, our findings reveal a mechanism where cortical actomyosin network flows determine cytoplasmic reorganization and cell shape by deforming adjacent cytoplasmic components through friction forces. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: EM-Fac - _id: Bio - _id: NanoFab acknowledgement: We would like to thank A.

Here, we identify a positive mechanical feedback loop between cell migration and IF relocalization and find that it promotes embryonic axis formation during zebrafish gastrulation. We show that anterior axial mesendoderm (prechordal plate [ppl]) cells, moving in between the yolk cell and deep cell tissue to extend the embryonic axis, compress the overlying deep cell layer, thereby causing IF to flow from the deep cell layer to the boundary between the yolk cell and the deep cell layer, directly ahead of the advancing ppl. This IF relocalization, in turn, facilitates ppl cell protrusion formation and migration by opening up the space into which the ppl moves and, thereby, the ability of the ppl to trigger IF relocalization by pushing against the overlying deep cell layer. Thus, embryonic axis formation relies on a hydraulic feedback loop between cell migration and IF relocalization. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: PreCl - _id: Bio acknowledgement: We thank Andrea Pauli (IMP) and Edouard Hannezo (ISTA) for fruitful discussions and support with the SPIM experiments; the Heisenberg group, and especially Feyza Nur Arslan and Alexandra Schauer, for discussions and feedback; Michaela Jović (ISTA) for help with the quantitative real-time PCR protocol; the bioimaging and zebrafish facilities of ISTA for continuous support; Stephan Preibisch (Janelia Research Campus) for support with the SPIM data analysis; and Nobuhiro Nakamura (Tokyo Institute of Technology) for sharing α1-Na+/K+-ATPase antibody.

Cytoskeletal rearrangements are thought to constitute the main drivers of cytoplasmic flows and reorganization. In contrast, remarkably little is known about how dynamic changes in size and shape of cell organelles affect cytoplasmic organization. Here, we show that within the maturing zebrafish oocyte, the surface localization of exocytosis-competent cortical granules (Cgs) upon germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) is achieved by the combined activities of yolk granule (Yg) fusion and microtubule aster formation and translocation. We find that Cgs are moved towards the oocyte surface through radially outward cytoplasmic flows induced by Ygs fusing and compacting towards the oocyte center in response to GVBD. We further show that vesicles decorated with the small Rab GTPase Rab11, a master regulator of vesicular trafficking and exocytosis, accumulate together with Cgs at the oocyte surface. This accumulation is achieved by Rab11-positive vesicles being transported by acentrosomal microtubule asters, the formation of which is induced by the release of CyclinB/Cdk1 upon GVBD, and which display a net movement towards the oocyte surface by preferentially binding to the oocyte actin cortex. We finally demonstrate that the decoration of Cgs by Rab11 at the oocyte surface is needed for Cg exocytosis and subsequent chorion elevation, a process central in egg activation. Collectively, these findings unravel a yet unrecognized role of organelle fusion, functioning together with cytoskeletal rearrangements, in orchestrating cytoplasmic organization during oocyte maturation. acknowledgement: This work was supported by funding from the European Union (European Research Council Advanced grant 742573) to C.-P.H.

For instance, embryonic\r\nstem cell cultures can recapitulate the hallmarks of gastrulation, i.e. break symmetry\r\nleading to germ layer formation and morphogenesis, in a very reduced environment.\r\nThis leads to questions on specific contributions of embryo-specific features, such as\r\nthe presence of extraembryonic tissues, which are inherently involved in gastrulation\r\nin the full embryonic context. To address this, we established zebrafish embryonic\r\nexplants without the extraembryonic yolk cell, an important player as a signaling\r\nsource and for morphogenesis during gastrulation, as a model of ex vivo development.\r\nWe found that dorsal-marginal determinants are required and sufficient in these\r\nexplants to form and pattern all three germ layers. However, formation of tissues,\r\nwhich require the highest Nodal-signaling levels, is variable, demonstrating a\r\ncontribution of extraembryonic tissues for reaching peak Nodal signaling levels.\r\nBlastoderm explants also undergo gastrulation-like axis elongation. We found that this\r\nelongation movement shows hallmarks of oriented mesendoderm cell intercalations\r\ntypically associated with dorsal tissues in the intact embryo. These are disrupted by\r\nuniform upregulation of BMP signaling activity and concomitant explant ventralization,\r\nsuggesting that tight spatial control of BMP signaling is a prerequisite for explant\r\nmorphogenesis. This control is achieved by Nodal signaling, which is critical for\r\neffectively downregulating BMP signaling in the mesendoderm, highlighting that Nodal\r\nsignaling is not only directly required for mesendoderm cell fate specification and\r\nmorphogenesis, but also by maintaining low levels of BMP signaling at the dorsal side.\r\nCollectively, we provide insights into the capacity and organization of signaling and\r\nmorphogenetic domains to recapitulate features of zebrafish gastrulation outside of\r\nthe full embryonic context." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio - _id: LifeSc alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Alexandra full_name: Schauer, Alexandra id: 30A536BA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Schauer orcid: 0000-0001-7659-9142 citation: ama: 'Schauer A.

Segregation is driven by differential tissue surface tensions generated by cell types through controlling cell-cell contact formation by regulating adhesion and actomyosin contractility-based cellular cortical tensions. We use vertebrate tissue cell types and zebrafish germ layer progenitors as in vitro models of 3-dimensional heterotypic segregation and developed a quantitative analysis of their dynamics based on 3D time-lapse microscopy. We show that general inhibition of actomyosin contractility by the Rho kinase inhibitor Y27632 delays segregation. Cell type-specific inhibition of non-muscle myosin2 activity by overexpression of myosin assembly inhibitor S100A4 reduces tissue surface tension, manifested in decreased compaction during aggregation and inverted geometry observed during segregation. The same is observed when we express a constitutively active Rho kinase isoform to ubiquitously keep actomyosin contractility high at cell-cell and cell-medium interfaces and thus overriding the interface-specific regulation of cortical tensions. Tissue surface tension regulation can become an effective tool in tissue engineering. acknowledgement: "We thank Marton Gulyas (ELTE Eötvös University) for development of videomicroscopy experiment manager and image analysis software.

Although these methods measure changes in global barrier function, they lack the sensitivity needed to detect local or transient barrier breaches, and they do not reveal the location of barrier leaks. Therefore, we previously developed a method that we named the zinc-based ultrasensitive microscopic barrier assay (ZnUMBA), which overcomes these limitations, allowing for detection of local tight junction leaks with high spatiotemporal resolution. Here, we present expanded applications for ZnUMBA. ZnUMBA can be used in Xenopus embryos to measure the dynamics of barrier restoration and actin accumulation following laser injury. ZnUMBA can also be effectively utilized in developing zebrafish embryos as well as cultured monolayers of Madin–Darby canine kidney (MDCK) II epithelial cells. ZnUMBA is a powerful and flexible method that, with minimal optimization, can be applied to multiple systems to measure dynamic changes in barrier function with spatiotemporal precision. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: PreCl - _id: Bio acknowledgement: "The authors thank their respective lab members for feedback and helpful discussions.

To develop such models, collaborations between experimental cell biologists and theoreticians are increasingly important but these two groups often face challenges achieving mutual understanding. To help navigate these challenges, this Perspective discusses different modelling approaches, including bottom-up hypothesis-driven and top-down data-driven models, and highlights their strengths and applications. Using cell mechanics as an example, we explore the integration of specific physical models with experimental data from the molecular, cellular and tissue level up to multiscale input. We also emphasize the importance of constraining model complexity and outline strategies for crosstalk between experimental design and model development. Furthermore, we highlight how physical models can provide conceptual insights and produce unifying and generalizable frameworks for biological phenomena. Overall, this Perspective aims to promote fruitful collaborations that advance our understanding of complex biological systems. acknowledgement: "We thank Prisca Liberali and Edouard Hannezo for many inspiring discussions; Mehmet Can Uçar, Nicoletta I Petridou and Qiutan Yang for a critical reading of the manuscript, and Claudia Flandoli for the artwork in Figs 2 and 3.

Extensive research has elucidated the signaling mechanisms governing ERK activation via biochemical regulations with upstream molecules, particularly receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). However, recent advances have highlighted the role of mechanical forces in activating the RTK–ERK signaling pathways, thereby opening new avenues of research into mechanochemical interplay in multicellular tissues. Here, we review the force-induced ERK activation in cells and propose possible mechanosensing mechanisms underlying the mechanoresponsive ERK activation. We conclude that mechanical forces are not merely passive factors shaping cells and tissues but also active regulators of cellular signaling pathways controlling collective cell behaviors. acknowledgement: TH was supported by JSPS KAKENHI Grant (no. 21H05290) and the Ministry of Education under the Research Centres of Excellence programme through the Mechanobiology Institute at National University of Singapore and by Department of Physiology at National University of Singapore.
