Microfluidic device combining hydrodynamic and dielectrophoretic trapping for the controlled contact between single micro-sized objects and application to adhesion assays

Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Clémentine Sophie Sarah Lipp

The understanding of cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions via receptor and ligand binding relies on our ability to study the very first events of their contact. Of particular interest is the interaction between a T cell receptor and its cognate peptide-m ...

Expression of E-Cadherin in Epithelial Cancer Cells Increases Cell Motility and Directionality through the Localization of ZO-1 during Collective Cell Migration

Hwanseok Jang

Collective cell migration of epithelial tumor cells is one of the important factors for elucidating cancer metastasis and developing novel drugs for cancer treatment. Especially, new roles of E-cadherin in cancer migration and metastasis, beyond the epithe ...

γ-Catenin-Dependent Signals Maintain BCR-ABL1+ B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Jörg Hülsken, Oliver Hantschel, Anja Irmisch

The BCR-ABL1 fusion protein is the cause of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and of a significant fraction of adult-onset B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) cases. Using mouse models and patient-derived samples, we identified an essential role for γ ...

Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells enhance insulin secretion from human islets via N-Cadherin interaction and prolong function of transplanted encapsulated islets in mice

Sandrine Gerber, Jutta Christine Wandrey, Redouan Mahou

Background: Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) enhance viability and function of islets of Langerhans. We aimed to examine the interactions between human MSC and human islets of Langerhans that influence the function of islets. Methods: Human MSC ...

Bile Acids Alter Male Fertility Through G-Protein-Coupled Bile Acid Receptor 1 Signaling Pathways in Mice

Kristina Schoonjans

Bile acids (BAs) are signaling molecules that are involved in many physiological functions, such as glucose and energy metabolism. These effects are mediated through activation of the nuclear and membrane receptors, farnesoid X receptor (FXR-alpha) and TGR ...

Characterization of N-cadherin unbinding properties in non-malignant (HCV29) and malignant (T24) bladder cells

Andrzej Kulik

The expression of N-cadherin, characteristic of various cancers, very often leads to changes in the cells' adhesive properties. Thus, we sought to find out if N-cadherin expressed in various, but cancer-related cells, differs in its functional properties t ...

Neurogenin3 Initiates Stepwise Delamination of Differentiating Endocrine Cells During Pancreas Development

Anne Grapin-Botton, Mathieu Gouzi, Yung Hae Kim, Keiichi Katsumoto

During development, pancreatic endocrine cells are specified within the pancreatic epithelium. They subsequently delaminate out of the epithelium and cluster in the mesenchyme to form the islets of Langerhans. Neurogenin3 (Ngn3) is a transcription factor r ...

Genetic Deletion of the Desmosomal Component Desmoplakin Promotes Tumor Microinvasion in a Mouse Model of Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Carcinogenesis

Douglas Hanahan

We used the RIP1-Tag2 (RT2) mouse model of islet cell carcinogenesis to profile the transcriptome of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET) that were either non-invasive or highly invasive, seeking to identify pro- and anti-invasive molecules. Expression ...

Perturbation of single hematopoietic stem cell fates in artificial niches

Matthias Lütolf

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are capable of extensive self-renewal in vivo and are successfully employed clinically to treat hematopoietic malignancies, yet are in limited supply as in culture this self-renewal capacity is lost. Using an approach at the ...

Cadherins establish mechano-resistant junctions between fibrogenic fibroblasts

Philippe Pittet

During wound healing and in a variety of fibrocontractive diseases, fibroblasts differentiate into contractile myofibroblasts by acquiring stress fibers and by expressing α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA). Myofibroblasts of wound granulation tissue, in contras ...

Fibrogenic fibroblasts increase intercellular adhesion strength by reinforcing individual OB-cadherin bonds

Andrzej Kulik, Jean-Jacques Meister, Boris Hinz, Kyumin Lee, Philippe Pittet

We have previously shown that the switch from N-cadherin to OB-cadherin expression increases intercellular adhesion between fibroblasts during their transition from a migratory to a fibrogenic phenotype. Using atomic force microscopy we here show that part ...

Differential requirement for beta-catenin in epithelial and fiber cells during lens development

Jörg Hülsken

Recent studies implicate Wnt/beta-catenin signaling in lens differentiation (Stump, R. J., et al., 2003. A role for Wnt/beta-catenin signaling in lens epithelial differentiation. Dev Biol;259:48-61). Beta-catenin is a component of adherens junctions and fu ...

Differential regulation of Dlg1, Scrib, and Lgl1 expression in a transgenic mouse model of ocular cancer

Friedrich Beermann

Purpose: Discs large (dlg), scribble (scrib), and lethal giant larvae (lgl) are major suppressor genes in Drosophila melanogaster. They encode proteins that regulate cell polarity and cell proliferation in Drosophila and mammals. However, their basic oncog ...

Enzymatic incorporation of bioactive peptides into fibrin matrices enhances neurite extension

Patrick Aebischer, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

Fibrin plays an important role in wound healing and regeneration, and enjoys widespread use in surgery and tissue engineering. The enzymatic activity of Factor XIIIa was employed to covalently incorporate exogenous bioactive peptides within fibrin during c ...
