Correlative cryo-ET identifies actin/tropomyosin filaments that mediate cell-substrate adhesion in cancer cells and mechanosensitivity of cell proliferation

Maria Lastra Cagigas et al.

Summary: The actin/tropomyosin filaments play a crucial role in cell-substrate adhesion assembly and regulation of mechanosensing, matrix remodelling, and transformation towards a cancer phenotype. Knock-out of Tpm1.8/1.9 disrupts the formation of dorsal actin bundles, hindering recruitment of critical mechanosensors, while re-expression can restore cell adhesion.

Towards targeting of shared mechanisms of cancer metastasis and therapy resistance

Felix Weiss et al.

Summary: Resistance to therapeutic treatment and metastatic progression are both important factors in determining the outcome of cancer. Recent evidence suggests that these two processes cooperate and reinforce each other. Various mechanisms, such as integrins, cell-cell communication, stress responses, and metabolic reprogramming, mediate the shared signals between metastasis and therapy resistance. Identifying these shared signaling networks could lead to more effective anticancer therapies.

Extent of myosin penetration within the actin cortex regulates cell surface mechanics

Binh An Truong Quang et al.

Summary: The study reveals that myosin does not always overlap with actin at the cortex in cells with low cortex tension, suggesting a restricted penetration. Myosin activity and actin network architecture are identified as key regulators of myosin penetration into the cortex. The spatial coordination of myosin and actin at the cortex regulates cell surface mechanics, with myosin size controlling its action by limiting minifilament penetration into the cortical actin network.

Advanced mechanotherapy: Biotensegrity for governing metastatic tumor cell fate via modulating the extracellular matrix

Parinaz Abdollahiyan et al.

Summary: Mechano-transduction is the process of translating mechanical stimuli into biochemical responses within cells, with TAZ and YAP playing key roles in promoting mechano-transduction in the Hippo pathway. During cancer progression, a positive feedback loop involving YAP/TAZ is formed between growing tumors and stiffening ECM, enhancing proliferation and chemotherapeutic resistance. Nanoparticle-conjunctions show promise for remote regulation of cellular events at the molecular scale in the field of mechanotherapy.

CCM3 is a gatekeeper in focal adhesions regulating mechanotransduction and YAP/TAZ signalling

Shan Wang et al.

Summary: Wang et al. have identified CCM3 as a negative regulator of YAP/TAZ activation and mechanotransduction in focal adhesions, with crucial roles in controlling mesenchymal/stromal stem cell differentiation and metastasis. CCM3 functions as a gatekeeper in focal adhesions, regulating mechanotransduction and YAP/TAZ signaling by competing with focal adhesion kinase for binding to paxillin. Loss of CCM3 in cancer-associated fibroblasts leads to exacerbated tissue remodelling and metastasis dissemination in mouse models of breast cancer.
