The dynamic regulation of epithelial adhesion plays a decisive role in the life cycle of LCs. It controls whether LCs remain immature and sessile within the epidermis or mature and egress to initiate immune responses. So far, the molecular machinery regulating epithelial adhesion molecules during LC maturation remains elusive. Here, we generated pure populations of immature human LCs in vitro to systematically probe for gene-expression changes during LC maturation. LCs down-regulate a set of epithelial genes including E-cadherin, while they upregulate the mesenchymal marker N-cadherin known to facilitate cell migration. In addition, N-cadherin is constitutively expressed by monocyte-derived DCs known to exhibit characteristics of both inflammatory-type and interstitial/dermal DCs. Moreover, the transcription factors ZEB1 and ZEB2 (ZEB is zinc-finger E-box-binding homeobox) are upregulated in migratory LCs. ZEB1 and ZEB2 have been shown to induce epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and invasive behavior in cancer cells undergoing metastasis. Our results provide the first hint that the molecular EMT machinery might facilitate LC mobilization. Moreover, our study suggests that N-cadherin plays a role during DC migration."}],"publication_status":"published","status":"public","user_id":"317138e5-6ab7-11ef-aa6d-ffef3953e345","department":[{"_id":"MiSi"}],"doi":"10.1002/eji.201343681","day":"01","issue":"2"},{"acknowledgement":"This work was supported by EC grant Marie Curie RTN-CT-2006-035616, CARBIO 'Carbon nanotubes for biomedical applications' and Austrian FFG grant mnt-era.net 823980, 'IntelliTip'.\r\n","year":"2014","date_updated":"2025-09-29T12:14:47Z","_id":"1925","citation":{"chicago":"Lamprecht, Constanze, Birgit Plochberger, Verena Ruprecht, Stefan Wieser, Christian Rankl, Elena Heister, Barbara Unterauer, et al. “A Single-Molecule Approach to Explore Binding Uptake and Transport of Cancer Cell Targeting Nanotubes.” <i>Nanotechnology</i>.

Here we performed single-particle studies of folic acid (FA) mediated CNT binding to human carcinoma cells and their transport inside the cytosol. In particular, we employed molecular recognition force spectroscopy, an atomic force microscopy based method, to visualize and quantify docking of FA functionalized CNTs to FA binding receptors in terms of binding probability and binding force. We then traced individual fluorescently labeled, FA functionalized CNTs after specific uptake, and created a dynamic 'roadmap' that clearly showed trajectories of directed diffusion and areas of nanotube confinement in the cytosol.

Vascular endothelial cells produce, transport and deposit either their own chemokines or chemokines produced by the underlying stroma. Endothelial heparan sulfate (HS) was suggested to be a critical scaffold for these chemokine pools, but it is unclear how steep chemokine gradients are sustained between the lumenal and ablumenal aspects of blood vessels. Addressing this question by semi-quantitative immunostaining of HS moieties around blood vessels with a pan anti-HS IgM mAb, we found a striking HS enrichment in the basal lamina of resting and inflamed post capillary skin venules, as well as in high endothelial venules (HEVs) of lymph nodes. Staining of skin vessels with a glycocalyx probe further suggested that their lumenal glycocalyx contains much lower HS density than their basolateral extracellular matrix (ECM). This polarized HS pattern was observed also in isolated resting and inflamed microvascular dermal cells. Notably, progressive skin inflammation resulted in massive ECM deposition and in further HS enrichment around skin post capillary venules and their associated pericytes. Inflammation-dependent HS enrichment was not compromised in mice deficient in the main HS degrading enzyme, heparanase. Our results suggest that the blood vasculature patterns steep gradients of HS scaffolds between their lumenal and basolateral endothelial aspects, and that inflammatory processes can further enrich the HS content nearby inflamed vessels. We propose that chemokine gradients between the lumenal and ablumenal sides of vessels could be favored by these sharp HS scaffold gradients.","lang":"eng"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","intvolume":"         9","scopus_import":"1","tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)"},"external_id":{"isi":["000330283100061"]}},{"issue":"6","user_id":"317138e5-6ab7-11ef-aa6d-ffef3953e345","department":[{"_id":"MiSi"}],"doi":"10.1038/nrm3805","day":"14","publication_status":"published","status":"public","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:56:22Z","volume":15,"abstract":[{"text":"Homologous recombination is crucial for genome stability and for genetic exchange.

Quantitative imaging reveals depots of CCL21 within lymphatic endothelial cells and steeply decaying gradients within the perilymphatic interstitium. These gradients match the migratory patterns of the dendritic cells, which directionally approach vessels from a distance of up to 90-micrometers. Interstitial CCL21 is immobilized to heparan sulfates, and its experimental delocalization or swamping the endogenous gradients abolishes directed migration.

Most miRNAs are processed from hairpin-structured precursors by the consecutive action of the RNase III enzymes Drosha and Dicer. However, processing of miR-451 is Dicer independent and cleavage is mediated by the endonuclease Ago2. Here we have characterized miR-451 sequence and structure requirements for processing as well as sorting of miRNAs into different Ago proteins. Pre-miR-451 appears to be optimized for Ago2 cleavage and changes result in reduced processing. In addition, we show that the mature miR-451 only associates with Ago2 suggesting that mature miRNAs are not exchanged between different members of the Ago protein family. Based on cloning and deep sequencing of endogenous miRNAs associated with Ago1-3, we do not find evidence for miRNA sorting in human cells. However, Ago identity appears to influence the length of some miRNAs, while others remain unaffected."}],"volume":40,"date_created":"2018-12-11T12:00:29Z","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/","oa_version":"Published Version"},{"volume":91,"date_created":"2018-12-11T12:01:44Z","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"We describe here the development and characterization of a conditionally inducible mouse model expressing Lifeact-GFP, a peptide that reports the dynamics of filamentous actin. We have used this model to study platelets, megakaryocytes and melanoblasts and we provide evidence that Lifeact-GFP is a useful reporter in these cell types ex vivo. In the case of platelets and megakaryocytes, these cells are not transfectable by traditional methods, so conditional activation of Lifeact allows the study of actin dynamics in these cells live. We studied melanoblasts in native skin explants from embryos, allowing the visualization of live actin dynamics during cytokinesis and migration. Our study revealed that melanoblasts lacking the small GTPase Rac1 show a delay in the formation of new pseudopodia following cytokinesis that accounts for the previously reported cytokinesis delay in these cells. Thus, through use of this mouse model, we were able to gain insights into the actin dynamics of cells that could only previously be studied using fixed specimens or following isolation from their native tissue environment."}],"oa_version":"Submitted Version","pmid":1,"intvolume":"        91","scopus_import":"1","external_id":{"isi":["000311775000013"],"pmid":["22658956"]},"main_file_link":[{"url":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3930012/","open_access":"1"}],"oa":1,"issue":"11-12","user_id":"317138e5-6ab7-11ef-aa6d-ffef3953e345","department":[{"_id":"MiSi"}],"doi":"10.1016/j.ejcb.2012.04.002","day":"01","publication_status":"published","status":"public","date_published":"2012-11-01T00:00:00Z","type":"journal_article","publist_id":"3534","isi":1,"author":[{"full_name":"Schachtner, Hannah","last_name":"Schachtner","first_name":"Hannah"},{"last_name":"Li","first_name":"Ang","full_name":"Li, Ang"},{"full_name":"Stevenson, David","last_name":"Stevenson","first_name":"David"},{"full_name":"Calaminus, Simon","last_name":"Calaminus","first_name":"Simon"},{"full_name":"Thomas, Steven","first_name":"Steven","last_name":"Thomas"},{"full_name":"Watson, Steve","first_name":"Steve","last_name":"Watson"},{"first_name":"Michael K","id":"41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Sixt","full_name":"Sixt, Michael K","orcid":"0000-0002-6620-9179"},{"full_name":"Wedlich Söldner, Roland","last_name":"Wedlich Söldner","first_name":"Roland"},{"last_name":"Strathdee","first_name":"Douglas","full_name":"Strathdee, Douglas"},{"first_name":"Laura","last_name":"Machesky","full_name":"Machesky, Laura"}],"title":"Tissue inducible Lifeact expression allows visualization of actin dynamics in vivo and ex vivo","article_processing_charge":"No","quality_controlled":"1","publication":"European Journal of Cell Biology","year":"2012","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publisher":"Elsevier","_id":"3158","citation":{"ieee":"H.

Single molecule experiments allow for resolving trajectories at extremely high spatial and temporal accuracy, thereby offering insights into en route interactions of the tracer. In this review we discuss approaches to derive information about the underlying processes, based on single molecule tracking experiments. In particular, we focus on a new versatile way to analyze single molecule diffusion in the absence of a full analytical treatment. The method is based on comprehensive comparison of an experimental data set against the hypothetical outcome of multiple experiments performed on the computer. Since Monte Carlo simulations can be easily and rapidly performed even on state-of-the-art PCs, our method provides a simple way for testing various - even complicated - diffusion models. We describe the new method in detail, and show the applicability on two specific examples: firstly, kinetic rate constants can be derived for the transient interaction of mobile membrane proteins; secondly, residence time and corral size can be extracted for confined diffusion."}],"publication_status":"published","status":"public","doi":"10.2174/138920311798841753","department":[{"_id":"CaHe"},{"_id":"MiSi"}],"user_id":"317138e5-6ab7-11ef-aa6d-ffef3953e345","day":"01","issue":"8","publication":"Current Protein & Peptide Science","article_processing_charge":"No","quality_controlled":"1","isi":1,"publist_id":"3358","title":"What can we learn from single molecule trajectories?","author":[{"orcid":"0000-0003-4088-8633","full_name":"Ruprecht, Verena","last_name":"Ruprecht","first_name":"Verena","id":"4D71A03A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"full_name":"Axmann, Markus","first_name":"Markus","last_name":"Axmann"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-2670-2217","first_name":"Stefan","id":"355AA5A0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Wieser","full_name":"Wieser, Stefan"},{"last_name":"Schuetz","first_name":"Gerhard","full_name":"Schuetz, Gerhard"}],"date_published":"2011-12-01T00:00:00Z","type":"journal_article","publisher":"Bentham Science Publishers","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"month":"12","citation":{"chicago":"Ruprecht, Verena, Markus Axmann, Stefan Wieser, and Gerhard Schuetz. “What Can We Learn from Single Molecule Trajectories?” <i>Current Protein &#38; Peptide Science</i>.

Although in vitro experiments in cell lines or activated primary cell cultures have established that Rho-p160 coiled-coil kinase (ROCK)-myosin II-mediated uropod contractility is required for integrin de-adhesion on two-dimensional surfaces and nuclear propulsion through narrow pores in three-dimensional matrices, less is known about the role of these two events during the recirculation of primary, nonactivated lymphocytes. Using pharmacological antagonists of ROCK and myosin II, we report that inhibition of uropod contractility blocked integrin-independent mouse T cell migration through narrow, but not large, pores in vitro. T cell crawling on chemokine-coated endothelial cells under shear was severely impaired by ROCK inhibition, whereas transendothelial migration was only reduced through endothelial cells with high, but not low, barrier properties. Using three-dimensional thick-tissue imaging and dynamic two-photon microscopy of T cell motility in lymphoid tissue, we demonstrated a significant role for uropod contractility in intraluminal crawling and transendothelial migration through lymph node, but not bone marrow, endothelial cells. Finally, we demonstrated that ICAM-1, but not anatomical constraints or integrin-independent interactions, reduced parenchymal motility of inhibitor-treated T cells within the dense lymphoid microenvironment, thus assigning context-dependent roles for uropod contraction during lymphocyte recirculation."}],"scopus_import":"1","external_id":{"isi":["000294059500040"]},"intvolume":"       187","issue":"5","publication_status":"published","status":"public","doi":"10.4049/jimmunol.1100935","department":[{"_id":"MiSi"}],"user_id":"317138e5-6ab7-11ef-aa6d-ffef3953e345","day":"01"}]
