Abstract:

Dynamic alterations in the actin cytoskeleton, under the regulation of the Rho/ROCK pathway, permit cell motility, cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix adhesion, and have also been shown to participate in apoptosis and cell proliferation. These facets of cellular behaviour all have the capacity to become dysregulated in cancer; components of the Rho/ROCK pathway are known to play varying roles in these processes, both within primary tumours and within the tumour microenvironment. The LIM kinases are phosphorylated and activated by ROCK, leading to inactivation of cofilin and subsequent stabilisatio

Abstract:

Targeting the cytoskeleton (CSK) of cancer cells offers a valuable strategy in cancer therapy. Whereas drugs which address microtubule CSK such as vinca alkaloids or taxanes are well established in the clinic, compounds binding to the actin CSK are still far away from their therapeutical application. One reason might be the lacking knowledge on their mode of cytotoxicity and moreover their tumor specific mechanism of action. We used the myxobacterial compound Chondramide as a tool to first elucidate the mechanisms of cytotoxicity by actin targeting in different breast cancer cells, namely MC

Ephrin ligands and their Eph receptors play an essential role in angiogenesis during development. Both ephrins and Eph receptors are membrane-tethered proteins and their interaction at sites of cell-cell contact triggers bi-directional signalling, with signals transduced from the receptor (forward signalling) and ligand (reverse signalling). I have used two model systems to study ephrin-B2 signalling: Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts expressing exogenous ephrin-B2 and Human Umbilical Arterial Endothelial Cells (HUAECs) endogenously expressing ephrin-Bs.

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) constitute an important component of blood vessels and are primarily responsible for vessel contraction.

The actin cytoskeleton is an important component of vascular contractility and is also essential for proliferation and migration of VSMC. Vasoactive agonists such as Endothelin-1 (ET-1) and Noradrenaline (NA), have been shown to mediate VSMC contraction through

Hyphal organisms are a commonly used model system for studies of polarised growth. While growing hyphal tips offer a good example of polarised growth, little detail of the process of polarisation can be determined from them. Hyphal branching offers a good example of the development of polarity, however to date it has been largely impractical to study hyphal branching, due to the irregular timing and location along the hypha of natural branch formation. Chemical induction of branches circumnavigates this problem, using a localised concentration of nutrients adjacent to the growing hypha to stim

Two clear force dependent responses were observed: a short-term local deformation of actin stress fibres and a long-term force-induced remodelling of stress fibres at cell edges, far from the point of contact.

The loose connective tissue provides a path for fluid flow from capillaries to the tissue and lymphatics. This fluid is partially stored in the interstitium and the remainder is directed to the lymphatics.

Abstract:

Thesis: Ph. D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Biology, 2016.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references.<br>EnaNASP proteins are a conserved family of actin regulatory proteins that modulate cell motility and morphology by altering actin dynamics. Mena, an EnaNASP protein, is alternatively spliced, producing protein isoforms with distinct functions. Here, we characterize the expression, function, and regulation of the Mena11a splice isoform at the molecular and cellular level. We find that Menal 1 a is enriched in epithelia and muscle
