These mechanical forces, as experienced by cells and tissues, are then converted into biochemical signals within the cell, leading to a number of cellular mechanisms being activated, including proliferation, differentiation and migration. If the conversion of mechanical cues into biochemical signals is perturbed in any way, then this can be potentially implicated in chronic disease development and processes such as neurological disorders, cancer and obesity. This review will focus on how the interplay between mechanotransduction, cellular structure, metabolism and signalling cascades led by the Hippo-YAP/TAZ axis can lead to a number of chronic diseases and suggest how we can target various pathways in order to design therapeutic targets for these debilitating diseases and conditions.

In this study, a two-dimensional free boundary problem in a steady-case of signal trans- duction during the formation of invadopodia is investigated. The signal equation is represented by a Laplace equation with Dirichlet boundary condition. The plasma membrane is taken as zero level set function. The level set method is used to solve the complete model numerically. Our results showed that protrusions are developed on the membrane surface due to the presence of signal density inside the cell.

In vitro, degradation occurs at specific sites where invasive cells make contact with the extracellular matrix via specialized plasma membrane protrusions termed invadopodia. Considerable progress has been made in recent years toward understanding the basic molecular components and their ultrastructural features; generating substantial interest in invadopodia as a paradigm to study the complex interactions between the intracellular trafficking, signal transduction, and cytoskeleton regulation machi- neries. The next level will be to understand whether they may also represent valid biological targets to help advance the anticancer drug discovery process. Current knowledge will be reviewed here together with some of the most important open questions in invadopodia biology. Tumor Cell Invasion Laboratory, Consorzio Mario Negri Sud, S.

Abstract: Understanding how cancer cells migrate, and how this migration is affected by the me- chanical and chemical composition of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is critical to investigate and possibly interfere with the metastatic process, which is responsible for most cancer-related deaths. In this article we review the state of the art about the use of hydrogel-based three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds as artificial platforms to model the mechanobiology of cancer cell migration. We start by briefly reviewing the concept and composition of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and the materials commonly used to recreate the cancerous ECM. Then we summarize the most relevant knowledge about the mechanobiology of cancer cell migration that has been obtained using 3D hydrogel scaf- folds, and relate those discoveries to what has been observed in the clinical management of solid tumors. Finally, we review some recent methodological developments, specifically the use of novel bioprinting techniques and microfluidics to create realistic hydrogel-based models of the cancer ECM, and some of their applications in the context of the study of cancer cell migration.

Abstract Uncontrolled growth in solid tumor generates compressive stress that drives cancer cells into invasive phenotypes, but little is known about how such stress affects the invasion and matrix degradation of cancer cells and the underlying mechanisms. Here we show that compressive stress enhanced invasion, matrix degradation, and invadopodia formation of breast cancer cells. We further identified Piezo1 channels as the putative mechanosensitive cellular components that transmit the compression to induce calcium influx, which in turn triggers activation of RhoA, Src, FAK, and ERK signaling, as well as MMP-9 expression.

Recent studies show that tumor cells use specialized actin-based membrane protrusions termed invadopodia to perform matrix degradation. Invadopodia provide an elegant way for tumor cells to precisely couple focal matrix degradation with directional movement. Here we discuss several key components and regulators of invadopodia that have been uniquely implicated in tumor invasion and metastasis. Furthermore, we discuss existing and new therapeutic opportunities to target invadopodia for anti-metastasis treatment. Oncogene (2014) 33, 4193–4202; doi:10.1038/onc.2013.393; published online 30 September 2013 Keywords: invadopodia; tumor invasion; metastasis INTRODUCTION such as Arp2/3, Enabled (Ena)/vasodilator-stimulated phospho- Metastasis, the spread of tumor cells from a primary tumor to a protein (Vasp) and various small GTPases. Here we discuss three secondary site, is a complex, multistep process, and is the main factors, cortactin, MENA and Tks proteins, that have critical roles at cause of mortality in cancer patients. During metastasis, carcinoma invadopodia and have been implicated in tumor progression. cells invade the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM), intravasate Cortactin and MENA are both key factors of actin polymerization through endothelium into the systemic circulation, then extra- and dynamics; therefore, their roles in tumor invasion and vasate again through the capillary endothelium and finally metastasis go beyond invadopodia to general cell migration and establish secondary tumors at distant sites.1 Several key stages of other actin-based cellular processes.
