text: A key attribute of persistent or recurring bacterial infections is the ability
of the pathogen to evade the host’s immune response. Many Enterobacteriaceae express
type 1 pili, a pre-adapted virulence trait, to invade host epithelial cells and
establish persistent infections. However, the molecular mechanisms and strategies
by which bacteria actively circumvent the immune response of the host remain poorly
understood. Here, we identified CD14, the major co-receptor for lipopolysaccharide
detection, on dendritic cells as a previously undescribed binding partner of FimH,
the protein located at the tip of the type 1 pilus of Escherichia coli. The FimH
amino acids involved in CD14 binding are highly conserved across pathogenic and
non-pathogenic strains. Binding of pathogenic bacteria to CD14 lead to reduced
dendritic cell migration and blunted expression of co-stimulatory molecules, both
rate-limiting factors of T cell activation. While defining an active molecular
mechanism of immune evasion by pathogens, the interaction between FimH and CD14
represents a potential target to interfere with persistent and recurrent infections,
such as urinary tract infections or Crohn’s disease.

text: De novo loss of function mutations in the ubiquitin ligase-encoding gene Cullin3
lead to autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In mouse, constitutive haploinsufficiency
leads to motor coordination deficits as well as ASD-relevant social and cognitive
impairments. However, induction of Cul3 haploinsufficiency later in life does
not lead to ASD-relevant behaviors, pointing to an important role of Cul3 during
a critical developmental window. Here we show that Cul3 is essential to regulate
neuronal migration and, therefore, constitutive Cul3 heterozygous mutant mice
display cortical lamination abnormalities. At the molecular level, we found that
Cul3 controls neuronal migration by tightly regulating the amount of Plastin3
(Pls3), a previously unrecognized player of neural migration. Furthermore, we
found that Pls3 cell-autonomously regulates cell migration by regulating actin
cytoskeleton organization, and its levels are inversely proportional to neural
migration speed. Finally, we provide evidence that cellular phenotypes associated
with autism-linked gene haploinsufficiency can be rescued by transcriptional activation
of the intact allele in vitro, offering a proof of concept for a potential therapeutic
approach for ASDs.

text: 'Cells navigating through complex tissues face a fundamental challenge: while
multiple protrusions explore different paths, the cell needs to avoid entanglement.
How a cell surveys and then corrects its own shape is poorly understood. Here,
we demonstrate that spatially distinct microtubule dynamics regulate amoeboid
cell migration by locally promoting the retraction of protrusions. In migrating
dendritic cells, local microtubule depolymerization within protrusions remote
from the microtubule organizing center triggers actomyosin contractility controlled
by RhoA and its exchange factor Lfc. Depletion of Lfc leads to aberrant myosin
localization, thereby causing two effects that rate-limit locomotion: (1) impaired
cell edge coordination during path finding and (2) defective adhesion resolution.
Compromised shape control is particularly hindering in geometrically complex microenvironments,
where it leads to entanglement and ultimately fragmentation of the cell body.
We thus demonstrate that microtubules can act as a proprioceptive device: they
sense cell shape and control actomyosin retraction to sustain cellular coherence.'

text: Cell production and differentiation for the acquisition of specific functions
are key features of living systems. The dynamic network of cellular microtubules
provides the necessary platform to accommodate processes associated with the transition
of cells through the individual phases of cytogenesis. Here, we show that the
plant hormone cytokinin fine‐tunes the activity of the microtubular cytoskeleton
during cell differentiation and counteracts microtubular rearrangements driven
by the hormone auxin. The endogenous upward gradient of cytokinin activity along
the longitudinal growth axis in Arabidopsis thaliana roots correlates with robust
rearrangements of the microtubule cytoskeleton in epidermal cells progressing
from the proliferative to the differentiation stage. Controlled increases in cytokinin
activity result in premature re‐organization of the microtubule network from transversal
to an oblique disposition in cells prior to their differentiation, whereas attenuated
hormone perception delays cytoskeleton conversion into a configuration typical
for differentiated cells. Intriguingly, cytokinin can interfere with microtubules
also in animal cells, such as leukocytes, suggesting that a cytokinin‐sensitive
control pathway for the microtubular cytoskeleton may be at least partially conserved
between plant and animal cells.

text: Breakdown of vascular barriers is a major complication of inflammatory diseases.
Anucleate platelets form blood-clots during thrombosis, but also play a crucial
role in inflammation. While spatio-temporal dynamics of clot formation are well
characterized, the cell-biological mechanisms of platelet recruitment to inflammatory
micro-environments remain incompletely understood. Here we identify Arp2/3-dependent
lamellipodia formation as a prominent morphological feature of immune-responsive
platelets. Platelets use lamellipodia to scan for fibrin(ogen) deposited on the
inflamed vasculature and to directionally spread, to polarize and to govern haptotactic
migration along gradients of the adhesive ligand. Platelet-specific abrogation
of Arp2/3 interferes with haptotactic repositioning of platelets to microlesions,
thus impairing vascular sealing and provoking inflammatory microbleeding. During
infection, haptotaxis promotes capture of bacteria and prevents hematogenic dissemination,
rendering platelets gate-keepers of the inflamed microvasculature. Consequently,
these findings identify haptotaxis as a key effector function of immune-responsive
platelets.

text: T lymphocytes utilize amoeboid migration to navigate effectively within complex
microenvironments. The precise rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton required
for cellular forward propulsion is mediated by actin regulators, including the
actin‐related protein 2/3 (Arp2/3) complex, a macromolecular machine that nucleates
branched actin filaments at the leading edge. The consequences of modulating Arp2/3
activity on the biophysical properties of the actomyosin cortex and downstream
T cell function are incompletely understood. We report that even a moderate decrease
of Arp3 levels in T cells profoundly affects actin cortex integrity. Reduction
in total F‐actin content leads to reduced cortical tension and disrupted lamellipodia
formation. Instead, in Arp3‐knockdown cells, the motility mode is dominated by
blebbing migration characterized by transient, balloon‐like protrusions at the
leading edge. Although this migration mode seems to be compatible with interstitial
migration in three‐dimensional environments, diminished locomotion kinetics and
impaired cytotoxicity interfere with optimal T cell function. These findings define
the importance of finely tuned, Arp2/3‐dependent mechanophysical membrane integrity
in cytotoxic effector T lymphocyte activities.

text: Cell migration entails networks and bundles of actin filaments termed lamellipodia
and microspikes or filopodia, respectively, as well as focal adhesions, all of
which recruit Ena/VASP family members hitherto thought to antagonize efficient
cell motility. However, we find these proteins to act as positive regulators of
migration in different murine cell lines. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated loss of Ena/VASP
proteins reduced lamellipodial actin assembly and perturbed lamellipodial architecture,
as evidenced by changed network geometry as well as reduction of filament length
and number that was accompanied by abnormal Arp2/3 complex and heterodimeric capping
protein accumulation. Loss of Ena/VASP function also abolished the formation of
microspikes normally embedded in lamellipodia, but not of filopodia capable of
emanating without lamellipodia. Ena/VASP-deficiency also impaired integrin-mediated
adhesion accompanied by reduced traction forces exerted through these structures.
Our data thus uncover novel Ena/VASP functions of these actin polymerases that
are fully consistent with their promotion of cell migration.

text: The WAVE regulatory complex (WRC) is crucial for assembly of the peripheral
branched actin network constituting one of the main drivers of eukaryotic cell
migration. Here, we uncover an essential role of the hematopoietic-specific WRC
component HEM1 for immune cell development. Germline-encoded HEM1 deficiency underlies
an inborn error of immunity with systemic autoimmunity, at cellular level marked
by WRC destabilization, reduced filamentous actin, and failure to assemble lamellipodia.
Hem1−/− mice display systemic autoimmunity, phenocopying the human disease. In
the absence of Hem1, B cells become deprived of extracellular stimuli necessary
to maintain the strength of B cell receptor signaling at a level permissive for
survival of non-autoreactive B cells. This shifts the balance of B cell fate choices
toward autoreactive B cells and thus autoimmunity.

text: A two-dimensional mathematical model for cells migrating without adhesion
capabilities is presented and analyzed. Cells are represented by their cortex,
which is modeled as an elastic curve, subject to an internal pressure force. Net
polymerization or depolymerization in the cortex is modeled via local addition
or removal of material, driving a cortical flow. The model takes the form of a
fully nonlinear degenerate parabolic system. An existence analysis is carried
out by adapting ideas from the theory of gradient flows. Numerical simulations
show that these simple rules can account for the behavior observed in experiments,
suggesting a possible mechanical mechanism for adhesion-independent motility.

text: Eukaryotic cells migrate by coupling the intracellular force of the actin
cytoskeleton to the environment. While force coupling is usually mediated by transmembrane
adhesion receptors, especially those of the integrin family, amoeboid cells such
as leukocytes can migrate extremely fast despite very low adhesive forces1. Here
we show that leukocytes cannot only migrate under low adhesion but can also transmit
forces in the complete absence of transmembrane force coupling. When confined
within three-dimensional environments, they use the topographical features of
the substrate to propel themselves. Here the retrograde flow of the actin cytoskeleton
follows the texture of the substrate, creating retrograde shear forces that are
sufficient to drive the cell body forwards. Notably, adhesion-dependent and adhesion-independent
migration are not mutually exclusive, but rather are variants of the same principle
of coupling retrograde actin flow to the environment and thus can potentially
operate interchangeably and simultaneously. As adhesion-free migration is independent
of the chemical composition of the environment, it renders cells completely autonomous
in their locomotive behaviour.

text: Platelets are small anucleate cellular fragments that are released by megakaryocytes
and safeguard vascular integrity through a process termed ‘haemostasis’. However,
platelets have important roles beyond haemostasis as they contribute to the initiation
and coordination of intravascular immune responses. They continuously monitor
blood vessel integrity and tightly coordinate vascular trafficking and functions
of multiple cell types. In this way platelets act as ‘patrolling officers of the
vascular highway’ that help to establish effective immune responses to infections
and cancer. Here we discuss the distinct biological features of platelets that
allow them to shape immune responses to pathogens and tumour cells, highlighting
the parallels between these responses.

text: 'Platelets are central players in thrombosis and hemostasis but are increasingly
recognized as key components of the immune system. They shape ensuing immune responses
by recruiting leukocytes, and support the development of adaptive immunity. Recent
data shed new light on the complex role of platelets in immunity. Here, we summarize
experimental and clinical data on the role of platelets in host defense against
bacteria. Platelets bind, contain, and kill bacteria directly; however, platelet
proinflammatory effector functions and cross-talk with the coagulation system,
can also result in damage to the host (e.g., acute lung injury and sepsis). Novel
clinical insights support this dichotomy: platelet inhibition/thrombocytopenia
can be either harmful or protective, depending on pathophysiological context.
Clinical studies are currently addressing this aspect in greater depth.'

text: Cell migration is essential for physiological processes as diverse as development,
immune defence and wound healing. It is also a hallmark of cancer malignancy.
Thousands of publications have elucidated detailed molecular and biophysical mechanisms
of cultured cells migrating on flat, 2D substrates of glass and plastic. However,
much less is known about how cells successfully navigate the complex 3D environments
of living tissues. In these more complex, native environments, cells use multiple
modes of migration, including mesenchymal, amoeboid, lobopodial and collective,
and these are governed by the local extracellular microenvironment, specific modalities
of Rho GTPase signalling and non- muscle myosin contractility. Migration through
3D environments is challenging because it requires the cell to squeeze through
complex or dense extracellular structures. Doing so requires specific cellular
adaptations to mechanical features of the extracellular matrix (ECM) or its remodelling.
In addition, besides navigating through diverse ECM environments and overcoming
extracellular barriers, cells often interact with neighbouring cells and tissues
through physical and signalling interactions. Accordingly, cells need to call
on an impressively wide diversity of mechanisms to meet these challenges. This
Review examines how cells use both classical and novel mechanisms of locomotion
as they traverse challenging 3D matrices and cellular environments. It focuses
on principles rather than details of migratory mechanisms and draws comparisons
between 1D, 2D and 3D migration.

text: Cell migration is hypothesized to involve a cycle of behaviours beginning
with leading edge extension. However, recent evidence suggests that the leading
edge may be dispensable for migration, raising the question of what actually controls
cell directionality. Here, we exploit the embryonic migration of Drosophila macrophages
to bridge the different temporal scales of the behaviours controlling motility.
This approach reveals that edge fluctuations during random motility are not persistent
and are weakly correlated with motion. In contrast, flow of the actin network
behind the leading edge is highly persistent. Quantification of actin flow structure
during migration reveals a stable organization and asymmetry in the cell-wide
flowfield that strongly correlates with cell directionality. This organization
is regulated by a gradient of actin network compression and destruction, which
is controlled by myosin contraction and cofilin-mediated disassembly. It is this
stable actin-flow polarity, which integrates rapid fluctuations of the leading
edge, that controls inherent cellular persistence.

text: The formation of neuronal dendrite branches is fundamental for the wiring
and function of the nervous system. Indeed, dendrite branching enhances the coverage
of the neuron's receptive field and modulates the initial processing of incoming
stimuli. Complex dendrite patterns are achieved in vivo through a dynamic process
of de novo branch formation, branch extension and retraction. The first step towards
branch formation is the generation of a dynamic filopodium-like branchlet. The
mechanisms underlying the initiation of dendrite branchlets are therefore crucial
to the shaping of dendrites. Through in vivo time-lapse imaging of the subcellular
localization of actin during the process of branching of Drosophila larva sensory
neurons, combined with genetic analysis and electron tomography, we have identified
the Actin-related protein (Arp) 2/3 complex as the major actin nucleator involved
in the initiation of dendrite branchlet formation, under the control of the activator
WAVE and of the small GTPase Rac1. Transient recruitment of an Arp2/3 component
marks the site of branchlet initiation in vivo. These data position the activation
of Arp2/3 as an early hub for the initiation of branchlet formation.

text: β1-integrins mediate cell–matrix interactions and their trafficking is important
in the dynamic regulation of cell adhesion, migration and malignant processes,
including cancer cell invasion. Here, we employ an RNAi screen to characterize
regulators of integrin traffic and identify the association of Golgi-localized
gamma ear-containing Arf-binding protein 2 (GGA2) with β1-integrin, and its role
in recycling of active but not inactive β1-integrin receptors. Silencing of GGA2
limits active β1-integrin levels in focal adhesions and decreases cancer cell
migration and invasion, which is in agreement with its ability to regulate the
dynamics of active integrins. By using the proximity-dependent biotin identification
(BioID) method, we identified two RAB family small GTPases, i.e. RAB13 and RAB10,
as novel interactors of GGA2. Functionally, RAB13 silencing triggers the intracellular
accumulation of active β1-integrin, and reduces integrin activity in focal adhesions
and cell migration similarly to GGA2 depletion, indicating that both facilitate
active β1-integrin recycling to the plasma membrane. Thus, GGA2 and RAB13 are
important specificity determinants for integrin activity-dependent traffic.

text: "While cells of mesenchymal or epithelial origin perform their effector functions
in a purely anchorage dependent manner, cells derived from the hematopoietic lineage
are not committed to operate only within a specific niche. Instead, these cells
are able to function autonomously of the molecular composition in a broad range
of tissue compartments. By this means, cells of the hematopoietic lineage retain
the capacity to disseminate into connective tissue and recirculate between organs,
building the foundation for essential processes such as tissue regeneration or
immune surveillance. \r\nCells of the immune system, specifically leukocytes,
are extraordinarily good at performing this task. These cells are able to flexibly
shift their mode of migration between an adhesion-mediated and an adhesion-independent
manner, instantaneously accommodating for any changes in molecular composition
of the external scaffold. The key component driving directed leukocyte migration
is the chemokine receptor 7, which guides the cell along gradients of chemokine
ligand. Therefore, the physical destination of migrating leukocytes is purely
deterministic, i.e. given by global directional cues such as chemokine gradients.
\r\nNevertheless, these cells typically reside in three-dimensional scaffolds
of inhomogeneous complexity, raising the question whether cells are able to locally
discriminate between multiple optional migration routes. Current literature provides
evidence that leukocytes, specifically dendritic cells, do indeed probe their
surrounding by virtue of multiple explorative protrusions. However, it remains
enigmatic how these cells decide which one is the more favorable route to follow
and what are the key players involved in performing this task. Due to the heterogeneous
environment of most tissues, and the vast adaptability of migrating leukocytes,
at this time it is not clear to what extent leukocytes are able to optimize their
migratory strategy by adapting their level of adhesiveness. And, given the fact
that leukocyte migration is characterized by branched cell shapes in combination
with high migration velocities, it is reasonable to assume that these cells require
fine tuned shape maintenance mechanisms that tightly coordinate protrusion and
adhesion dynamics in a spatiotemporal manner. \r\nTherefore, this study aimed
to elucidate how rapidly migrating leukocytes opt for an ideal migratory path
while maintaining a continuous cell shape and balancing adhesive forces to efficiently
navigate through complex microenvironments. \r\nThe results of this study unraveled
a role for the microtubule cytoskeleton in promoting the decision making process
during path finding and for the first time point towards a microtubule-mediated
function in cell shape maintenance of highly ramified cells such as dendritic
cells. Furthermore, we found that migrating low-adhesive leukocytes are able to
instantaneously adapt to increased tensile load by engaging adhesion receptors.
This response was only occurring tangential to the substrate while adhesive properties
in the vertical direction were not increased. As leukocytes are primed for rapid
migration velocities, these results demonstrate that leukocyte integrins are able
to confer a high level of traction forces parallel to the cell membrane along
the direction of migration without wasting energy in gluing the cell to the substrate.
\r\nThus, the data in the here presented thesis provide new insights into the
pivotal role of cytoskeletal dynamics and the mechanisms of force transduction
during leukocyte migration. \r\nThereby the here presented results help to further
define fundamental principles underlying leukocyte migration and open up potential
therapeutic avenues of clinical relevance.\r\n"
