Abstract:

Studies have shown that gain-of- function mutant p53, AKT, and NFκB promote invasion and metastasis in tumor cells. Signals transduced by AKT and p53 are integrated via negative feedback between the two pathways. Tumor derived p53 was also indicated to induce NFκB gene expression. Due to the close relationship between p53/AKT and p53/NFκB, we hypothesized that AKT and NFκB can enhance motility in cells expressing mutant p53. Effects on cell motility were determined by scratch assays. CXCL5- chemokine is also known to induce cell motility. We hypothesized that enhanced cell motility by AKT and

Abstract:

Sperm cells are guided to the egg by chemoattractants in many species. Sperm cells are propelled in a liquid by the regular beat of their flagellum. In the presence of a concentration gradient of a chemoattractant, they can steer upwards the concentration gradient, a process called chemotaxis. Eggs release chemoattractants to guide the sperm cells to the egg. Sperm chemotaxis is best studied experimentally in the sea urchin. There, specific receptors in the flagellar membrane of the sperm cells are activated upon binding of chemoattractant molecules and trigger a signaling cascade which ultima

Abstract:

The ability of mammalian cells to locomote is important in a variety of normal and pathological processes. Previous work has suggested that low doses of x-irradiation may perturb cell motility, a finding that may have important consequences in embryogenesis, cancer metastasis, and immune response. This thesis has sought to study in more detail the effect of radiation on mammalian cell motility. Work performed in other laboratories used the colloidal gold assay and time lapse cinemicroscopy to study x-irradiation induced changes to 3T3 fibroblast motility in tissue culture.

Cancer is a complex disease, with over 100 different types and subtypes. Based on clinical features and biological properties, lung cancers can be separated into two major categories: non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer.

The variations in ER structure and motility under different stages of cell development remain largely unexplored.

I found both the structure and motility of growing cells to be different to non-growing cells. The growing cells had a more open arrangement of the cortical

Abstract:

Most eukaryotic cell motility relies on plasma membrane protrusions, which depend on the actin cytoskeleton and its tight regulation. The SCAR/WAVE complex, a pentameric assembly comprising SCAR/WAVE, Nap1, CYFIP/Pir121, Abi and HSPC300, is a key driver of actin-based protrusions such as pseudopods. SCAR/WAVE is thought to activate the Arp2/3 complex, a crucial actin nucleator, after being itself activated by upstream signals such as active Rac1. Despite recent progress on the study of the SCAR/WAVE complex, its regulation is still incompletely understood, with Nap1’s role being particularly e

In this thesis, I describe the generation of tetracycline-inducible pancreatic cancer cells and the subsequent use of these in the functional characterisation of an actin capping protein, CapG. Such cells were obtained in three pancreatic cancer cell lines, Panc-I, Suit-2 and MiaPaCa-2 cells through consecutive transfections with two plasmid constructs. The first of these harboured a second-generation reverse tetracycline-controlled transactivator p

Abstract:

Die selbständige, gerichtete Bewegung von biologischen Zellen ist eine der grundlegendsten und komplexesten Erscheinungen der Natur. In höher entwickelten Lebewesen spielt die Zellbewegung eine wichtige Rolle, z.B. bei der Entwicklung des Organismus, bei der Funktion des Immunsystems aber auch bei der Metastase von Krebszellen. Die physikalischen Prozesse die dieser Fähigkeit zugrunde liegen, sind im Fokus dieser Arbeit. Um besser zu verstehen welche Prozesse im Einzelnen und in welcher Kombination den Zellen erlauben sich gerichtet fortzubewegen, wurde in der vorliegenden Arbeit ein represent
