Received: 21 May 2020; Accepted: 2 June 2020; Published: 23 June 2020 Abstract: The failure of existing therapies in treating human glioblastoma (GBM) mostly is due to the ability of GBM to infiltrate into healthy regions of the brain; however, the relationship between cell motility and cell mechanics is not well understood. Here, we used atomic force microscopy (AFM), live-cell imaging, and biochemical tools to study the connection between motility and mechanics in human GBM cells. It was found thatRac1 inactivation by genomic silencing and inhibition with EHT 1864 reduced cell motility, inhibited cell ruffles, and disrupted the dynamics of cytoskeleton organization and cell adhesion. These changes were correlated with abnormal localization of myosin IIa and a rapid suppression of the phosphorylation of Erk1/2.

During metastasis, cancer cells 2004; Jackson et al., 2015; Katoh et al., 2006, 2000; van Buul et al., degrade the extracellular matrix, which acts as a physical barrier, by 2007). Recent studies have revealed that RhoG plays a role in tumor developing specialized actin-rich membrane protrusion structures cell invasion and may contribute to the formation of invadopodia called invadopodia. The formation of invadopodia is regulated by Rho (Hiramoto-Yamaki et al., 2010; Kwiatkowska et al., 2012). GTPases, a family of proteins that regulates the actin cytoskeleton. Invadopodia are actin-rich adhesive structures that form in the Here, we describe a novel role for RhoG in the regulation of ventral surface of cancer cells and allow them to degrade the invadopodia disassembly in human breast cancer cells.

  • New Structural Perspectives in G Protein-Coupled Receptor-Mediated Src Family Kinase Activation
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review New Structural Perspectives in G Protein-Coupled Receptor-Mediated Src Family Kinase Activation Sandra Berndt * and Ines Liebscher Rudolf Schönheimer Institute of Biochemistry, Molecular Biochemistry, Medical Faculty, University of Leipzig, 04103 Leipzig, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +49-341-9722175 Abstract: Src family kinases (SFKs) are key regulators of cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. The expression of these non-receptor tyrosine kinases is strongly correlated with cancer development and tumor progression. Thus, this family of proteins serves as an attractive drug target. The activation of SFKs can occur via multiple signaling pathways, yet many of them are poorly understood. Here, we summarize the current knowledge on G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR)- mediated regulation of SFKs, which is of considerable interest because GPCRs are among the most widely used pharmaceutical targets. This type of activation can occur through a direct interaction between the two proteins or be allosterically regulated by arrestins and G proteins. We postulate that a rearrangement of binding motifs within the active conformation of arrestin-3 mediates Src regulation by comparison of available crystal structures. Therefore, we hypothesize a potentially different activation mechanism compared to arrestin-2. Furthermore, we discuss the probable direct regulation of SFK by GPCRs and investigate the intracellular domains of exemplary GPCRs with conserved polyproline binding motifs that might serve as scaffolding domains to allow such a direct interaction. Large intracellular domains in GPCRs are often understudied and, in general, not much Citation: Berndt, S.; Liebscher, I. is known of their contribution to different signaling pathways.

  • P-Rex1 Directly Activates Rhog to Regulate GPCR-Driven Rac Signalling and Actin Polarity in Neutrophils
    ß 2014. Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd | Journal of Cell Science (2014) 127, 2589–2600 doi:10.1242/jcs.153049 RESEARCH ARTICLE P-Rex1 directly activates RhoG to regulate GPCR-driven Rac signalling and actin polarity in neutrophils George Damoulakis1,*, Laure Gambardella1, Kent L. Rossman2, Campbell D. Lawson1, Karen E. Anderson1, Yoshinori Fukui3, Heidi C. Welch1, Channing J. Der2, Len R. Stephens1,` and Phillip T. Hawkins1,`,§ ABSTRACT different Rho GTPase subfamilies and isoforms as key to their function in different cellular and subcellular contexts (Hung et al., G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) regulate the organisation of 2013; Sanz-Moreno et al., 2008). In addition to cell migration the actin cytoskeleton by activating the Rac subfamily of small during normal development and immunity, deregulation of these GTPases. The guanine-nucleotide-exchange factor (GEF) P-Rex1 processes drives cancer invasion and metastasis, and there is is engaged downstream of GPCRs and phosphoinositide 3-kinase strong evidence that mutations in Rac1 and Rac GEFs are (PI3K) in many cell types, and promotes tumorigenic signalling and associated with disease initiation and/or progression (Berger metastasis in breast cancer and melanoma, respectively. Although et al., 2012; Hodis et al., 2012; Lindsay et al., 2011; Nishihara P-Rex1-dependent functions have been attributed to its GEF activity et al., 2002; Sanz-Moreno et al., 2008). towards Rac1, we show that P-Rex1 also acts as a GEF for the G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are acute regulators of Rac-related GTPase RhoG, both in vitro and in GPCR-stimulated cell movement, but the mechanisms by which they regulate GTP/ primary mouse neutrophils.
