p21-Activated Kinase 1 Promotes Breast Tumorigenesis via Phosphorylation and Activation of the Calcium/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase II

Arias-Romero

Summary: This study demonstrates that the interaction between Pak1 and CaMKII is crucial for efficient proliferation, migration, and invasion of mammary epithelial cells in breast cancer. Inhibition of both Pak1 and CaMKII shows synergistic effects in inducing apoptosis, especially in Her2 positive and triple negative breast cancer cells. Furthermore, the combination of Pak1 and CaMKII inhibitors significantly reduces tumor growth in a xenograft mouse model of triple negative breast cancer. These findings suggest that targeting the Pak1-CaMKII signaling pathway may provide new therapeutic strategies for breast cancer.

PAK-dependent regulation of actin dynamics in breast cancer cells

Marianne Best, Madeline E. Gale, Claire M. Wells

Summary: Metastatic breast cancer has a low survival rate and lacks targeted clinical therapeutics. 'Migrastatics', a new drug class, inhibit cancer cell invasion and metastasis by targeting migration pathway effector proteins. P21-activated kinases (PAKs) play essential roles in breast cancer cell migration and invasion. This review discusses the regulation of breast cancer actin dynamics by PAKs and the potential introduction of PAK migrastatics into clinical practice.

Pressure and stiffness sensing together regulate vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype switching

Pamela Swiatlowska, Brian Sit, Zhen Feng, Emilie Marhuenda, Ioannis Xanthis, Simona Zingaro, Matthew Ward, Xinmiao Zhou, Qingzhong Xiao, Cathy Shanahan, Gareth E. Jones, Cheng-han Yu, Thomas Iskratsch

Summary: The study shows that vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) undergo a phenotypic switch when exposed to a combination of hypertensive pressure and matrix compliance, which are prevalent during atherosclerosis. The molecular mechanism involves the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton through cofilin via distinct pathways.

Modulation of the biophysical and biochemical properties of collagen by glycation for tissue engineering applications

Mina Vaez, Meisam Asgari, Liisa Hirvonen, Gorkem Bakir, Emilie Khattignavong, Maya Ezzo, Sebastian Aguayo, Christina M. Schuh, Kathleen Gough, Laurent Bozec

Summary: The presence of intramolecular and intermolecular crosslinks modulates the structural and functional properties of collagen. Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs) can form intermolecular crosslinks by binding to neighboring proteins. This research investigates the hypothesis that the accumulation of AGEs in collagen decreases its proteolytic degradation rates while increasing its stiffness. Through various techniques, including fluorescence lifetime imaging and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, the researchers detect biochemical changes in collagen scaffolds during the glycation process. Results show that the accumulation of AGEs leads to enhanced water sorption, differential elastic modulus, and slower proteolytic degradation behavior in collagen fibrils and scaffolds.

Latent membrane protein 1 and macrophage-derived TNFα synergistically activate and mobilize invadopodia to drive invasion of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Wing Chung Tang, Sai Wah Tsao, Gareth E. Jones, Xiong Liu, Ming Han Tsai, Henri-Jacques Delecluse, Wei Dai, Chanping You, Jun Zhang, Shaina Chor Mei Huang, Manton Man-hon Leung, Tengfei Liu, Yick Pang Ching, Honglin Chen, Kwok Wai Lo, Xin Li, Chi Man Tsang

Summary: This study reveals the interaction between TNF alpha released by macrophages and EBV-encoded LMP1 in driving the mobilization of invadopodia in EBV-associated nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The mobilizing invadopodia exhibit lateral movements and enhanced degradative power, transforming from dot-like digestion patterns to dendrite-like patterns. EBV infection sensitizes NPC cells to form mobilizing invadopodia in a TNF alpha-rich tumor microenvironment.

Extracellular matrix assembly stress initiates Drosophila central nervous system morphogenesis

Summary: This study examines the role of extracellular matrix (ECM) assembly in tissue morphogenesis during Drosophila ventral nerve cord (VNC) condensation. The assembly of collagen IV (Col4) surrounding the tissue leads to asymmetric VNC shortening and a rapid decrease in surface area. These findings suggest that ECM assembly stress and network instabilities actively participate in tissue morphogenesis.

Fluorescence Lifetime Macro Imager for Biomedical Applications

Rajannya Sen, Alexander Zhdanov, Ciaran Devoy, Mark Tangney, Liisa M. Hirvonen, Andrei Nomerotski, Dmitri B. Papkovsky

Summary: This paper presents a new photoluminescence lifetime imager that can accurately measure the molecular oxygen (O2) concentration in various phosphorescent samples. The imaging system is based on the Timepix3 camera (Tpx3Cam) and is fast and highly sensitive. It allows for detailed mapping of tissue O2 levels in a short amount of time and can be used for imaging of hypoxia in grafted tumors and metabolic imaging of ex vivo tissue models and live animals.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence and nature of sleep disturbance after discharge following hospital admission for COVID-19 and found that sleep disturbance is associated with dyspnoea, anxiety, and muscle weakness. Targeting sleep disturbance might be beneficial in treating the post-COVID-19 condition.

How did correlative atomic force microscopy and super-resolution microscopy evolve in the quest for unravelling enigmas in biology?

Adelaide Miranda, Ana I. Gomez-Varela, Andreas Stylianou, Liisa M. Hirvonen, Humberto Sanchez, Pieter A. A. De Beule

Summary: The invention of the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) in 1986 allowed for the study of cellular specimens under nearly physiological conditions with nanometric resolution, and the application of AFM to biological research expanded with improvements in imaging modes. Advances in super-resolution fluorescence microscopy techniques have brought the resolution of light microscopy to a level comparable to that of AFM, leading to the combination of AFM with fluorescence based super-resolution microscopy modalities.
