text: The release of IgM is the first line of an antibody response and precedes
the generation of high affinity IgG in germinal centers. Once secreted by freshly
activated plasmablasts, IgM is released into the efferent lymph of reactive lymph
nodes as early as 3 d after immunization. As pentameric IgM has an enormous size
of 1,000 kD, its diffusibility is low, and one might wonder how it can pass through
the densely lymphocyte-packed environment of a lymph node parenchyma in order
to reach its exit. In this issue of JEM, Thierry et al. show that, in order to
reach the blood stream, IgM molecules take a specific micro-anatomical route via
lymph node conduits.

text: 'In the here presented thesis, we explore the role of branched actin networks
in cell migration and antigen presentation, the two most relevant processes in
dendritic cell biology. Branched actin networks construct lamellipodial protrusions
at the leading edge of migrating cells. These are typically seen as adhesive structures,
which mediate force transduction to the extracellular matrix that leads to forward
locomotion. We ablated Arp2/3 nucleation promoting factor WAVE in DCs and found
that the resulting cells lack lamellipodial protrusions. Instead, depending on
the maturation state, one or multiple filopodia were formed. By challenging these
cells in a variety of migration assays we found that lamellipodial protrusions
are dispensable for the locomotion of leukocytes and actually dampen the speed
of migration. However, lamellipodia are critically required to negotiate complex
environments that DCs experience while they travel to the next draining lymph
node. Taken together our results suggest that leukocyte lamellipodia have rather
a sensory- than a force transducing function. Furthermore, we show for the first
time structure and dynamics of dendritic cell F-actin at the immunological synapse
with naïve T cells. Dendritic cell F-actin appears as dynamic foci that are nucleated
by the Arp2/3 complex. WAVE ablated dendritic cells show increased membrane tension,
leading to an altered ultrastructure of the immunological synapse and severe T
cell priming defects. These results point towards a previously unappreciated role
of the cellular mechanics of dendritic cells in T cell activation. Additionally,
we present a novel cell culture based system for the differentiation of dendritic
cells from conditionally immortalized hematopoietic precursors. These precursor
cells are genetically tractable via the CRISPR/Cas9 system while they retain their
ability to differentiate into highly migratory dendritic cells and other immune
cells. This will foster the study of all aspects of dendritic cell biology and
beyond. '

text: Although much is known about the physiological framework of T cell motility,
and numerous rate-limiting molecules have been identified through loss-of-function
approaches, an integrated functional concept of T cell motility is lacking. Here,
we used in vivo precision morphometry together with analysis of cytoskeletal dynamics
in vitro to deconstruct the basic mechanisms of T cell migration within lymphatic
organs. We show that the contributions of the integrin LFA-1 and the chemokine
receptor CCR7 are complementary rather than positioned in a linear pathway, as
they are during leukocyte extravasation from the blood vasculature. Our data demonstrate
that CCR7 controls cortical actin flows, whereas integrins mediate substrate friction
that is sufficient to drive locomotion in the absence of considerable surface
adhesions and plasma membrane flux.

text: During metastasis, malignant cells escape the primary tumor, intravasate lymphatic
vessels, and reach draining sentinel lymph nodes before they colonize distant
organs via the blood circulation. Although lymph node metastasis in cancer patients
correlates with poor prognosis, evidence is lacking as to whether and how tumor
cells enter the bloodstream via lymph nodes. To investigate this question, we
delivered carcinoma cells into the lymph nodes of mice by microinfusing the cells
into afferent lymphatic vessels. We found that tumor cells rapidly infiltrated
the lymph node parenchyma, invaded blood vessels, and seeded lung metastases without
involvement of the thoracic duct. These results suggest that the lymph node blood
vessels can serve as an exit route for systemic dissemination of cancer cells
in experimental mouse models. Whether this form of tumor cell spreading occurs
in cancer patients remains to be determined.

text: Coordinated changes of cell shape are often the result of the excitable, wave-like
dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton. New work shows that, in migrating cells, protrusion
waves arise from mechanochemical crosstalk between adhesion sites, membrane tension
and the actin protrusive machinery.

text: The actomyosin ring generates force to ingress the cytokinetic cleavage furrow
in animal cells, yet its filament organization and the mechanism of contractility
is not well understood. We quantified actin filament order in human cells using
fluorescence polarization microscopy and found that cleavage furrow ingression
initiates by contraction of an equatorial actin network with randomly oriented
filaments. The network subsequently gradually reoriented actin filaments along
the cell equator. This strictly depended on myosin II activity, suggesting local
network reorganization by mechanical forces. Cortical laser microsurgery revealed
that during cytokinesis progression, mechanical tension increased substantially
along the direction of the cell equator, while the network contracted laterally
along the pole-to-pole axis without a detectable increase in tension. Our data
suggest that an asymmetric increase in cortical tension promotes filament reorientation
along the cytokinetic cleavage furrow, which might have implications for diverse
other biological processes involving actomyosin rings.

text: Blood platelets are critical for hemostasis and thrombosis and play diverse
roles during immune responses. Despite these versatile tasks in mammalian biology,
their skills on a cellular level are deemed limited, mainly consisting in rolling,
adhesion, and aggregate formation. Here, we identify an unappreciated asset of
platelets and show that adherent platelets use adhesion receptors to mechanically
probe the adhesive substrate in their local microenvironment. When actomyosin-dependent
traction forces overcome substrate resistance, platelets migrate and pile up the
adhesive substrate together with any bound particulate material. They use this
ability to act as cellular scavengers, scanning the vascular surface for potential
invaders and collecting deposited bacteria. Microbe collection by migrating platelets
boosts the activity of professional phagocytes, exacerbating inflammatory tissue
injury in sepsis. This assigns platelets a central role in innate immune responses
and identifies them as potential targets to dampen inflammatory tissue damage
in clinical scenarios of severe systemic infection. In addition to their role
in thrombosis and hemostasis, platelets can also migrate to sites of infection
to help trap bacteria and clear the vascular surface.

text: Migration frequently involves Rac-mediated protrusion of lamellipodia, formed
by Arp2/3 complex-dependent branching thought to be crucial for force generation
and stability of these networks. The formins FMNL2 and FMNL3 are Cdc42 effectors
targeting to the lamellipodium tip and shown here to nucleate and elongate actin
filaments with complementary activities in vitro. In migrating B16-F1 melanoma
cells, both formins contribute to the velocity of lamellipodium protrusion. Loss
of FMNL2/3 function in melanoma cells and fibroblasts reduces lamellipodial width,
actin filament density and -bundling, without changing patterns of Arp2/3 complex
incorporation. Strikingly, in melanoma cells, FMNL2/3 gene inactivation almost
completely abolishes protrusion forces exerted by lamellipodia and modifies their
ultrastructural organization. Consistently, CRISPR/Cas-mediated depletion of FMNL2/3
in fibroblasts reduces both migration and capability of cells to move against
viscous media. Together, we conclude that force generation in lamellipodia strongly
depends on FMNL formin activity, operating in addition to Arp2/3 complex-dependent
filament branching.

text: Macrophage filopodia, finger-like membrane protrusions, were first implicated
in phagocytosis more than 100 years ago, but little is still known about the involvement
of these actin-dependent structures in particle clearance. Using spinning disk
confocal microscopy to image filopodial dynamics in mouse resident Lifeact-EGFP
macrophages, we show that filopodia, or filopodia-like structures, support pathogen
clearance by multiple means. Filopodia supported the phagocytic uptake of bacterial
(Escherichia coli) particles by (i) capturing along the filopodial shaft and surfing
toward the cell body, the most common mode of capture; (ii) capturing via the
tip followed by retraction; (iii) combinations of surfing and retraction; or (iv)
sweeping actions. In addition, filopodia supported the uptake of zymosan (Saccharomyces
cerevisiae) particles by (i) providing fixation, (ii) capturing at the tip and
filopodia-guided actin anterograde flow with phagocytic cup formation, and (iii)
the rapid growth of new protrusions. To explore the role of filopodia-inducing
Cdc42, we generated myeloid-restricted Cdc42 knock-out mice. Cdc42-deficient macrophages
exhibited rapid phagocytic cup kinetics, but reduced particle clearance, which
could be explained by the marked rounded-up morphology of these cells. Macrophages
lacking Myo10, thought to act downstream of Cdc42, had normal morphology, motility,
and phagocytic cup formation, but displayed markedly reduced filopodia formation.
In conclusion, live-cell imaging revealed multiple mechanisms involving macrophage
filopodia in particle capture and engulfment. Cdc42 is not critical for filopodia
or phagocytic cup formation, but plays a key role in driving macrophage lamellipodial
spreading.

text: Trafficking cells frequently transmigrate through epithelial and endothelial
monolayers. How monolayers cooperate with the penetrating cells to support their
transit is poorly understood. We studied dendritic cell (DC) entry into lymphatic
capillaries as a model system for transendothelial migration. We find that the
chemokine CCL21, which is the decisive guidance cue for intravasation, mainly
localizes in the trans-Golgi network and intracellular vesicles of lymphatic endothelial
cells. Upon DC transmigration, these Golgi deposits disperse and CCL21 becomes
extracellularly enriched at the sites of endothelial cell-cell junctions. When
we reconstitute the transmigration process in vitro, we find that secretion of
CCL21-positive vesicles is triggered by a DC contact-induced calcium signal, and
selective calcium chelation in lymphatic endothelium attenuates transmigration.
Altogether, our data demonstrate a chemokine-mediated feedback between DCs and
lymphatic endothelium, which facilitates transendothelial migration.

text: Navigation of cells along gradients of guidance cues is a determining step
in many developmental and immunological processes. Gradients can either be soluble
or immobilized to tissues as demonstrated for the haptotactic migration of dendritic
cells (DCs) toward higher concentrations of immobilized chemokine CCL21. To elucidate
how gradient characteristics govern cellular response patterns, we here introduce
an in vitro system allowing to track migratory responses of DCs to precisely controlled
immobilized gradients of CCL21. We find that haptotactic sensing depends on the
absolute CCL21 concentration and local steepness of the gradient, consistent with
a scenario where DC directionality is governed by the signal-to-noise ratio of
CCL21 binding to the receptor CCR7. We find that the conditions for optimal DC
guidance are perfectly provided by the CCL21 gradients we measure in vivo. Furthermore,
we find that CCR7 signal termination by the G-protein-coupled receptor kinase
6 (GRK6) is crucial for haptotactic but dispensable for chemotactic CCL21 gradient
sensing in vitro and confirm those observations in vivo. These findings suggest
that stable, tissue-bound CCL21 gradients as sustainable “roads” ensure optimal
guidance in vivo.

text: The INO80 complex (INO80-C) is an evolutionarily conserved nucleosome remodeler
that acts in transcription, replication, and genome stability. It is required
for resistance against genotoxic agents and is involved in the repair of DNA double-strand
breaks (DSBs) by homologous recombination (HR). However, the causes of the HR
defect in INO80-C mutant cells are controversial. Here, we unite previous findings
using a system to study HR with high spatial resolution in budding yeast. We find
that INO80-C has at least two distinct functions during HR—DNA end resection and
presynaptic filament formation. Importantly, the second function is linked to
the histone variant H2A.Z. In the absence of H2A.Z, presynaptic filament formation
and HR are restored in INO80-C-deficient mutants, suggesting that presynaptic
filament formation is the crucial INO80-C function during HR.

text: A change regarding the extent of adhesion - hereafter referred to as adhesion
plasticity - between adhesive and less-adhesive states of mammalian cells is important
for their behavior. To investigate adhesion plasticity, we have selected a stable
isogenic subpopulation of human MDA-MB-468 breast carcinoma cells growing in suspension.
These suspension cells are unable to re-adhere to various matrices or to contract
three-dimensional collagen lattices. By using transcriptome analysis, we identified
the focal adhesion protein tensin3 (Tns3) as a determinant of adhesion plasticity.
Tns3 is strongly reduced at mRNA and protein levels in suspension cells. Furthermore,
by transiently challenging breast cancer cells to grow under non-adherent conditions
markedly reduces Tns3 protein expression, which is regained upon re-adhesion.
Stable knockdown of Tns3 in parental MDA-MB-468 cells results in defective adhesion,
spreading and migration. Tns3-knockdown cells display impaired structure and dynamics
of focal adhesion complexes as determined by immunostaining. Restoration of Tns3
protein expression in suspension cells partially rescues adhesion and focal contact
composition. Our work identifies Tns3 as a crucial focal adhesion component regulated
by, and functionally contributing to, the switch between adhesive and non-adhesive
states in MDA-MB-468 cancer cells.

text: 'Actin filaments polymerizing against membranes power endocytosis, vesicular
traffic, and cell motility. In vitro reconstitution studies suggest that the structure
and the dynamics of actin networks respond to mechanical forces. We demonstrate
that lamellipodial actin of migrating cells responds to mechanical load when membrane
tension is modulated. In a steady state, migrating cell filaments assume the canonical
dendritic geometry, defined by Arp2/3-generated 70° branch points. Increased tension
triggers a dense network with a broadened range of angles, whereas decreased tension
causes a shift to a sparse configuration dominated by filaments growing perpendicularly
to the plasma membrane. We show that these responses emerge from the geometry
of branched actin: when load per filament decreases, elongation speed increases
and perpendicular filaments gradually outcompete others because they polymerize
the shortest distance to the membrane, where they are protected from capping.
This network-intrinsic geometrical adaptation mechanism tunes protrusive force
in response to mechanical load.'

text: Protective responses against pathogens require a rapid mobilization of resting
neutrophils and the timely removal of activated ones. Neutrophils are exceptionally
short-lived leukocytes, yet it remains unclear whether the lifespan of pathogen-engaged
neutrophils is regulated differently from that in the circulating steady-state
pool. Here, we have found that under homeostatic conditions, the mRNA-destabilizing
protein tristetraprolin (TTP) regulates apoptosis and the numbers of activated
infiltrating murine neutrophils but not neutrophil cellularity. Activated TTP-deficient
neutrophils exhibited decreased apoptosis and enhanced accumulation at the infection
site. In the context of myeloid-specific deletion of Ttp, the potentiation of
neutrophil deployment protected mice against lethal soft tissue infection with
Streptococcus pyogenes and prevented bacterial dissemination. Neutrophil transcriptome
analysis revealed that decreased apoptosis of TTP-deficient neutrophils was specifically
associated with elevated expression of myeloid cell leukemia 1 (Mcl1) but not
other antiapoptotic B cell leukemia/ lymphoma 2 (Bcl2) family members. Higher
Mcl1 expression resulted from stabilization of Mcl1 mRNA in the absence of TTP.
The low apoptosis rate of infiltrating TTP-deficient neutrophils was comparable
to that of transgenic Mcl1-overexpressing neutrophils. Our study demonstrates
that posttranscriptional gene regulation by TTP schedules the termination of the
antimicrobial engagement of neutrophils. The balancing role of TTP comes at the
cost of an increased risk of bacterial infections.

text: When neutrophils infiltrate a site of inflammation, they have to stop at the
right place to exert their effector function. In this issue of Developmental Cell,
Wang et al. (2016) show that neutrophils sense reactive oxygen species via the
TRPM2 channel to arrest migration at their target site. © 2016 Elsevier Inc.

text: "Cellular locomotion is a central hallmark of eukaryotic life. It is governed
by cell-extrinsic molecular factors, which can either emerge in the soluble phase
or as immobilized, often adhesive ligands. To encode for direction, every cue
must be present as a spatial or temporal gradient. Here, we developed a microfluidic
chamber that allows measurement of cell migration in combined response to surface
immobilized and soluble molecular gradients. As a proof of principle we study
the response of dendritic cells to their major guidance cues, chemokines. The
majority of data on chemokine gradient sensing is based on in vitro studies employing
soluble gradients. Despite evidence suggesting that in vivo chemokines are often
immobilized to sugar residues, limited information is available how cells respond
to immobilized chemokines. We tracked migration of dendritic cells towards immobilized
gradients of the chemokine CCL21 and varying superimposed soluble gradients of
CCL19. Differential migratory patterns illustrate the potential of our setup to
quantitatively study the competitive response to both types of gradients. Beyond
chemokines our approach is broadly applicable to alternative systems of chemo-
and haptotaxis such as cells migrating along gradients of adhesion receptor ligands
vs. any soluble cue. \r\n"
