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."}],"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","intvolume":"        98","title":"Partial loss of actin nucleator actin-related protein 2/3 activity triggers blebbing in primary T lymphocytes","scopus_import":"1","article_type":"original","date_published":"2020-02-01T00:00:00Z","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0818-9641"],"eissn":["1440-1711"]},"oa":1,"department":[{"_id":"MiSi"}],"_id":"7234"},{"_id":"7885","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0028-0836"],"eissn":["1476-4687"]},"oa":1,"department":[{"_id":"NanoFab"},{"_id":"Bio"},{"_id":"MiSi"}],"date_published":"2020-06-25T00:00:00Z","article_type":"original","title":"Cellular locomotion using environmental topography","scopus_import":"1","intvolume":"       582","volume":582,"project":[{"name":"Cytoskeletal force generation and force transduction of migrating leukocytes","_id":"25A603A2-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"FP7","grant_number":"281556"},{"call_identifier":"H2020","grant_number":"724373","name":"Cellular Navigation Along Spatial Gradients","_id":"25FE9508-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425"},{"call_identifier":"FWF","grant_number":"P29911","name":"Mechanical adaptation of lamellipodial actin","_id":"26018E70-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425"},{"name":"Mechanical Adaptation of Lamellipodial Actin Networks in Migrating Cells","_id":"260AA4E2-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"H2020","grant_number":"747687"}],"ec_funded":1,"abstract":[{"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.","lang":"eng"}],"fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-020-2283-z","day":"25","acknowledgement":"We thank A.

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.","lang":"eng"}],"scopus_import":"1","title":"Mechanisms of 3D cell migration","intvolume":"        20","date_published":"2019-12-01T00:00:00Z","article_type":"review","publication_identifier":{"issn":["1471-0072"],"eissn":["1471-0080"]},"department":[{"_id":"MiSi"}],"_id":"7009"},{"date_created":"2019-11-25T08:55:00Z","date_updated":"2023-09-06T11:08:52Z","status":"public","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"isi":1,"issue":"11","publication_status":"published","type":"journal_article","author":[{"last_name":"Yolland","full_name":"Yolland, Lawrence","first_name":"Lawrence"},{"full_name":"Burki, Mubarik","first_name":"Mubarik","last_name":"Burki"},{"last_name":"Marcotti","full_name":"Marcotti, Stefania","first_name":"Stefania"},{"full_name":"Luchici, Andrei","first_name":"Andrei","last_name":"Luchici"},{"last_name":"Kenny","first_name":"Fiona N.","full_name":"Kenny, Fiona N."},{"first_name":"John Robert","full_name":"Davis, John Robert","last_name":"Davis"},{"last_name":"Serna-Morales","full_name":"Serna-Morales, Eduardo","first_name":"Eduardo"},{"first_name":"Jan","full_name":"Müller, Jan","id":"AD07FDB4-0F61-11EA-8158-C4CC64CEAA8D","last_name":"Müller"},{"first_name":"Michael K","full_name":"Sixt, Michael K","orcid":"0000-0002-6620-9179","id":"41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Sixt"},{"last_name":"Davidson","full_name":"Davidson, Andrew","first_name":"Andrew"},{"last_name":"Wood","first_name":"Will","full_name":"Wood, Will"},{"first_name":"Linus J.","full_name":"Schumacher, Linus J.","last_name":"Schumacher"},{"last_name":"Endres","first_name":"Robert G.","full_name":"Endres, Robert G."},{"full_name":"Miodownik, Mark","first_name":"Mark","last_name":"Miodownik"},{"full_name":"Stramer, Brian M.","first_name":"Brian M.","last_name":"Stramer"}],"quality_controlled":"1","user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","article_processing_charge":"No","citation":{"chicago":"Yolland, Lawrence, Mubarik Burki, Stefania Marcotti, Andrei Luchici, Fiona N.

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.","lang":"eng"}],"intvolume":"        21","title":"Persistent and polarized global actin flow is essential for directionality during cell migration","scopus_import":"1","article_type":"original","date_published":"2019-11-01T00:00:00Z","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1476-4679"],"issn":["1465-7392"]},"oa":1,"department":[{"_id":"MiSi"}],"_id":"7105"},{"main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://doi.org/10.1242/jcs.233387"}],"publication":"Journal of Cell Science","external_id":{"isi":["000473327900017"],"pmid":["31076515"]},"publisher":"The Company of Biologists","pmid":1,"fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1242/jcs.233387","day":"07","year":"2019","doi":"10.1242/jcs.233387","volume":132,"abstract":[{"lang":"eng","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."}],"title":"GGA2 and RAB13 promote activity-dependent β1-integrin recycling","intvolume":"       132","article_number":"jcs233387","date_published":"2019-06-07T00:00:00Z","article_type":"original","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0021-9533"],"eissn":["1477-9137"]},"department":[{"_id":"MiSi"}],"oa":1,"_id":"7420","date_created":"2020-01-30T10:31:42Z","date_updated":"2026-06-18T19:21:00Z","status":"public","ddc":["570"],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"issue":"11","isi":1,"publication_status":"published","author":[{"full_name":"Sahgal, Pranshu","first_name":"Pranshu","last_name":"Sahgal"},{"last_name":"Alanko","id":"2CC12E8C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-7698-3061","full_name":"Alanko, Jonna H","first_name":"Jonna H"},{"first_name":"Jaroslav","full_name":"Icha, Jaroslav","last_name":"Icha"},{"first_name":"Ilkka","full_name":"Paatero, Ilkka","last_name":"Paatero"},{"last_name":"Hamidi","full_name":"Hamidi, Hellyeh","first_name":"Hellyeh"},{"last_name":"Arjonen","full_name":"Arjonen, Antti","first_name":"Antti"},{"last_name":"Pietilä","first_name":"Mika","full_name":"Pietilä, Mika"},{"last_name":"Rokka","full_name":"Rokka, Anne","first_name":"Anne"},{"last_name":"Ivaska","full_name":"Ivaska, Johanna","first_name":"Johanna"}],"type":"journal_article","quality_controlled":"1","article_processing_charge":"No","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","oa_version":"Published Version","citation":{"ama":"Sahgal P, Alanko JH, Icha J, et al.

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."}],"volume":146,"year":"2019","doi":"10.1242/dev.171397","day":"04","fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.171397"},{"corr_author":"1","publication_identifier":{"isbn":["978-3-99078-002-2"],"eissn":["2663-337X"]},"oa":1,"department":[{"_id":"MiSi"}],"_id":"6891","title":"The implication of cytoskeletal dynamics on leukocyte migration","date_published":"2019-07-24T00:00:00Z","keyword":["cell biology","immunology","leukocyte","migration","microfluidics"],"fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.15479/AT:ISTA:6891","day":"24","doi":"10.15479/AT:ISTA:6891","year":"2019","project":[{"name":"Nano-Analytics of Cellular Systems","_id":"265E2996-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"FWF","grant_number":"W01250-B20"}],"abstract":[{"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","lang":"eng"}],"page":"171","publisher":"Institute of Science and Technology Austria","article_processing_charge":"No","user_id":"ba8df636-2132-11f1-aed0-ed93e2281fdd","citation":{"ama":"Kopf A.

These spaces are crowded by cells and extracellular matrix, generating mazes with differently sized gaps that are typically smaller than the diameter of the migrating cell4,5. Most mesenchymal and epithelial cells and some—but not all—cancer cells actively generate their migratory path using pericellular tissue proteolysis6. By contrast, amoeboid cells such as leukocytes use non-destructive strategies of locomotion7, raising the question how these extremely fast cells navigate through dense tissues. Here we reveal that leukocytes sample their immediate vicinity for large pore sizes, and are thereby able to choose the path of least resistance. This allows them to circumnavigate local obstacles while effectively following global directional cues such as chemotactic gradients. Pore-size discrimination is facilitated by frontward positioning of the nucleus, which enables the cells to use their bulkiest compartment as a mechanical gauge. Once the nucleus and the closely associated microtubule organizing centre pass the largest pore, cytoplasmic protrusions still lingering in smaller pores are retracted. These retractions are coordinated by dynamic microtubules; when microtubules are disrupted, migrating cells lose coherence and frequently fragment into migratory cytoplasmic pieces. As nuclear positioning in front of the microtubule organizing centre is a typical feature of amoeboid migration, our findings link the fundamental organization of cellular polarity to the strategy of locomotion.","lang":"eng"}],"main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7217284/"}],"page":"546-550","publication":"Nature","external_id":{"isi":["000465594200050"],"pmid":["30944468"]},"publisher":"Springer Nature","pmid":1,"oa":1,"department":[{"_id":"MiSi"},{"_id":"NanoFab"},{"_id":"Bio"}],"_id":"6328","title":"Nuclear positioning facilitates amoeboid migration along the path of least resistance","scopus_import":"1","intvolume":"       568","date_published":"2019-04-25T00:00:00Z","article_type":"letter_note","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"SSU"}],"status":"public","related_material":{"record":[{"relation":"dissertation_contains","id":"14697","status":"public"},{"id":"6891","relation":"dissertation_contains","status":"public"}],"link":[{"url":"https://ist.ac.at/en/news/leukocytes-use-their-nucleus-as-a-ruler-to-choose-path-of-least-resistance/","relation":"press_release","description":"News on IST Homepage"}]},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"isi":1,"date_created":"2019-04-17T06:52:28Z","date_updated":"2026-11-14T23:30:20Z","article_processing_charge":"No","user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","citation":{"mla":"Renkawitz, Jörg, et al. “Nuclear Positioning Facilitates Amoeboid Migration along the Path of Least Resistance.” <i>Nature</i>, vol. 568, Springer Nature, 2019, pp. 546–50, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1087-5\">10.1038/s41586-019-1087-5</a>.","short":"J.

Fibroblastic reticular  cells (FRCs) are  the  main  stromal  cells and  form  a sponge-like extracellular matrix network,   called  conduits ,  which  they   thems elves   enwrap   and  contract.  Lymph,  containing  s oluble  antigens ,  arrive in  lymph  nodes  via afferent lymphatic  vessels that  connect  to  the  s ubcaps ular  s inus   and  conduit  network.  According  to  the  current  paradigm,  the  conduit  network   dis tributes   afferent  lymph  through   lymph  nodes   and  thus   provides   acces s   for  immune  cells to lymph-borne  antigens. An  elas tic  caps ule  s urrounds   the  organ  and  confines   the immune  cells and  FRC  network.   Lymph   nodes   are  completely  packed  with  lymphocytes   and  lymphocyte  numbers  directly  dictates  the size  of  the  organ.  Although  lymphocytes   cons tantly  enter  and  leave  the  lymph  node,  its   s ize  remains   remarkedly   s table  under  homeostatic conditions. It is only partly known  how the cellularity and s ize of the lymph node is regulated and  how  the  lymph  node  is able to swell in inflammation.  The role of the FRC network   in  lymph  node   s welling  and  trans fer  of  fluids   are  inves tigated in  this   thes is.  Furthermore,   we  s tudied  what  trafficking  routes   are  us ed  by  cancer  cells   in  lymph  nodes   to  form  distal metastases.We examined the role of a mechanical feedback in regulation of lymph  node swelling. Using parallel plate compression  and UV-las er  cutting  experiments   we  dis s ected  the  mechanical  force dynamics  of the whole lymph  node, and individually for FRCs  and the  caps ule. Physical forces   generated  by  packed  lymphocytes   directly  affect  the  tens ion  on  the  FRC  network  and  capsule,  which  increases  its  resistance  to   swelling.  This  implies  a  feedback  mechanism  between   tis s ue   pres s ure   and   ability   of   lymphocytes    to   enter   the   organ.   Following   inflammation,  the  lymph  node  swells ∼10 fold in two weeks . Yet, what  is  the role  for tens ion on  the  FRC  network   and  caps ule,  and  how  are  lymphocytes   able  to  enter  in  conditions  that resist swelling remain open ques tions . We s how that tens ion on the FRC network is  important to  limit  the  swelling  rate  of  the  organ  so  that  the  FRC  network  can  grow  in  a  coordinated  fashion. This is illustrated by interfering with FRC contractility, which leads to faster swelling rates  and a dis organized FRC network  in the inflamed lymph  node. Growth  of the FRC network  in  turn  is   expected  to  releas e  tens ion  on  thes e  s tructures   and  lowers   the  res is tance  to  swelling, thereby allowing more lymphocytes to enter the organ and drive more swelling. Halt of  swelling coincides   with  a  thickening  of  the  caps ule,  which  forms   a  thick  res is tant  band  around  the organ and lowers  tens ion on the FRC network  to form a new force equilibrium.The  FRC  and  conduit   network   are  further   believed  to  be  a  privileged  s ite  of  s oluble  information  within  the  lymph  node,  although  many  details   remain  uns olved.  We  s how  by  3D  ultra-recons truction   that  FRCs   and  antigen  pres enting  cells   cover  the  s urface  of  conduit  s ys tem for more  than 99% and we dis cus s  the implications  for s oluble information  exchangeat the conduit level.Finally, there  is an ongoing debate in the cancer field whether and how cancer cells  in lymph nodes   s eed  dis tal  metas tas es .  We  s how  that  cancer  cells   infus ed  into  the  lymph  node  can  utilize trafficking routes of immune  cells and  rapidly  migrate  to  blood  vessels. Once  in  the  blood circulation,  these cells are able to form  metastases in distal tissues.","lang":"eng"}],"page":"142","publisher":"Institute of Science and Technology Austria","oa":1,"department":[{"_id":"MiSi"}],"corr_author":"1","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2663-337X"]},"_id":"6947","title":"Lymph node mechanics: Deciphering the interplay between stroma contractility, morphology and lymphocyte trafficking","date_published":"2019-10-09T00:00:00Z","has_accepted_license":"1","status":"public","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"Bio"},{"_id":"PreCl"},{"_id":"EM-Fac"}],"degree_awarded":"PhD","related_material":{"record":[{"relation":"part_of_dissertation","id":"664","status":"public"},{"id":"402","relation":"part_of_dissertation","status":"public"}]},"ddc":["570"],"OA_place":"publisher","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"file":[{"date_created":"2019-11-06T12:30:02Z","date_updated":"2020-11-07T23:30:03Z","relation":"source_file","file_name":"PhDthesis_FrankAssen_revised2.docx","creator":"fassen","checksum":"53a739752a500f84d0f8ec953cbbd0b6","content_type":"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document","file_id":"6990","file_size":214172667,"embargo_to":"open_access","access_level":"closed"},{"relation":"main_file","date_created":"2019-11-06T12:30:57Z","date_updated":"2020-11-07T23:30:03Z","creator":"fassen","file_name":"PhDthesis_FrankAssen_revised2.pdf","checksum":"8c156b65d9347bb599623a4b09f15d15","content_type":"application/pdf","embargo":"2020-11-06","file_id":"6991","access_level":"open_access","file_size":83637532}],"date_created":"2019-10-14T16:54:52Z","date_updated":"2026-06-18T18:47:59Z","article_processing_charge":"No","user_id":"ba8df636-2132-11f1-aed0-ed93e2281fdd","month":"10","citation":{"mla":"Assen, Frank P. <i>Lymph Node Mechanics: Deciphering the Interplay between Stroma Contractility, Morphology and Lymphocyte Trafficking</i>.

These biomechanical processes depend highly on microenvironmental factors such as exposure to 2D surfaces or 3D matrices. In vivo, the majority of cells are exposed to 3D environments. Data on 3D cell migration are mostly derived from intravital microscopy or collagen-based in vitro assays. Both approaches offer only limited controlla-bility of experimental conditions. Here, we developed an automated microfluidic system that allows positioning of cells in 3D microenvironments containing highly controlled diffusion-based chemokine gradients. Tracking migration in such gradients was feasible in real time at the single cell level. Moreover, the setup allowed on-chip immunocytochemistry and thus linking of functional with phenotypical properties in individual cells. Spatially defined retrieval of cells from the device allows down-stream off-chip analysis. Using dendritic cells as a model, our setup specifically allowed us for the first time to quantitate key migration characteristics of cells exposed to identical gradients of the chemokine CCL19 yet placed on 2D vs in 3D environments. Migration properties between 2D and 3D migration were distinct. Morphological features of cells migrating in an in vitro 3D environment were similar to those of cells migrating in animal tissues, but different from cells migrating on a surface.

We study if migration in vivo in such three-dimensionally confined environments requires changes in the mechanical properties of the surrounding cells using embryonic Drosophila melanogaster hemocytes, also called macrophages, as a model. We find that macrophage invasion into the germband through transient separation of the apposing ectoderm and mesoderm requires cell deformations and reductions in apical tension in the ectoderm. Interestingly, the genetic pathway governing these mechanical shifts acts downstream of the only known tumor necrosis factor superfamily member in Drosophila, Eiger, and its receptor, Grindelwald. Eiger-Grindelwald signaling reduces levels of active Myosin in the germband ectodermal cortex through the localization of a Crumbs complex component, Patj (Pals-1-associated tight junction protein). We therefore elucidate a distinct molecular pathway that controls tissue tension and demonstrate the importance of such regulation for invasive migration in vivo."}],"ec_funded":1,"volume":45,"project":[{"_id":"253B6E48-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"The role of Drosophila TNF alpha in immune cell invasion","grant_number":"P29638","call_identifier":"FWF"},{"call_identifier":"FP7","grant_number":"334077","name":"Investigating the role of transporters in invasive migration through junctions","_id":"2536F660-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425"}],"author":[{"orcid":"0000-0001-7190-0776","last_name":"Ratheesh","id":"2F064CFE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Ratheesh, Aparna","first_name":"Aparna"},{"id":"3CCBB46E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Biebl","first_name":"Julia","full_name":"Biebl, Julia"},{"first_name":"Michael","full_name":"Smutny, Michael","last_name":"Smutny"},{"id":"433253EE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Veselá","first_name":"Jana","full_name":"Veselá, Jana"},{"first_name":"Ekaterina","full_name":"Papusheva, Ekaterina","id":"41DB591E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Papusheva"},{"id":"2B819732-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Krens","orcid":"0000-0003-4761-5996","first_name":"Gabriel","full_name":"Krens, Gabriel"},{"first_name":"Walter","full_name":"Kaufmann, Walter","id":"3F99E422-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Kaufmann","orcid":"0000-0001-9735-5315"},{"id":"3BCEDBE0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"György","orcid":"0000-0002-1819-198X","first_name":"Attila","full_name":"György, Attila"},{"last_name":"Casano","id":"3DBA3F4E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-6009-6804","full_name":"Casano, Alessandra M","first_name":"Alessandra M"},{"orcid":"0000-0001-8323-8353","last_name":"Siekhaus","id":"3D224B9E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Siekhaus, Daria E","first_name":"Daria E"}],"type":"journal_article","publication_status":"published","quality_controlled":"1","article_processing_charge":"No","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","month":"05","citation":{"ieee":"A.

To decipher the underlying cell biology, current experimental setups either use simplified 2D, tissue-mimetic 3D (e.g., collagen matrices) or in vivo environments. While only in vivo experiments are truly physiological, they do not allow for precise manipulation of environmental parameters. 2D in vitro experiments do allow mechanical and chemical manipulations, but increasing evidence demonstrates substantial differences of migratory mechanisms in 2D and 3D. Here, we describe simple, robust, and versatile “pillar forests” to investigate cell migration in complex but fully controllable 3D environments. Pillar forests are polydimethylsiloxane-based setups, in which two closely adjacent surfaces are interconnected by arrays of micrometer-sized pillars. Changing the pillar shape, size, height and the inter-pillar distance precisely manipulates microenvironmental parameters (e.g., pore sizes, micro-geometry, micro-topology), while being easily combined with chemotactic cues, surface coatings, diverse cell types and advanced imaging techniques. Thus, pillar forests combine the advantages of 2D cell migration assays with the precise definition of 3D environmental parameters."}],"volume":147,"title":"Micro-engineered “pillar forests” to study cell migration in complex but controlled 3D environments","scopus_import":"1","intvolume":"       147","date_published":"2018-07-27T00:00:00Z","department":[{"_id":"MiSi"},{"_id":"NanoFab"}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["0091-679X"]},"_id":"153"},{"file":[{"file_name":"IST-2018-1067-v1+2_Leithner_et_al-2018-European_Journal_of_Immunology.pdf","creator":"system","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:46:27Z","date_created":"2018-12-12T10:13:56Z","relation":"main_file","content_type":"application/pdf","checksum":"9d5b74cd016505aeb9a4c2d33bbedaeb","file_id":"5044","file_size":590106,"access_level":"open_access"}],"date_updated":"2025-04-14T07:42:07Z","pubrep_id":"1067","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:46:28Z","publist_id":"7386","status":"public","has_accepted_license":"1","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"SSU"}],"isi":1,"issue":"6","ddc":["570"],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"type":"journal_article","author":[{"first_name":"Alexander F","full_name":"Leithner, Alexander F","id":"3B1B77E4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Leithner","orcid":"0000-0002-1073-744X"},{"first_name":"Jörg","full_name":"Renkawitz, Jörg","orcid":"0000-0003-2856-3369","id":"3F0587C8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Renkawitz"},{"last_name":"De Vries","id":"4C7D837E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"De Vries, Ingrid","first_name":"Ingrid"},{"orcid":"0000-0001-9843-3522","id":"4E01D6B4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Hauschild","first_name":"Robert","full_name":"Hauschild, Robert"},{"last_name":"Haecker","full_name":"Haecker, Hans","first_name":"Hans"},{"first_name":"Michael K","full_name":"Sixt, Michael K","id":"41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Sixt","orcid":"0000-0002-6620-9179"}],"publication_status":"published","quality_controlled":"1","file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:46:27Z","user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","article_processing_charge":"Yes (via OA deal)","month":"02","tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/legalcode","short":"CC BY-NC (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by_nc.png"},"citation":{"ista":"Leithner AF, Renkawitz J, de Vries I, Hauschild R, Haecker H, Sixt MK. 2018.

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.","lang":"eng"}],"volume":215,"doi":"10.1084/jem.20181934","year":"2018","fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20181934","day":"20","date_published":"2018-11-20T00:00:00Z","scopus_import":"1","title":"IgM's exit route","intvolume":"       215","_id":"5672","department":[{"_id":"MiSi"}],"oa":1,"publication_identifier":{"issn":["0022-1007"]}}]
