N-Cadherin based adhesion and Rac1 activity regulate tension polarization in the actin cortex by Seyedsajad Moazzeni, Kelly Kyker-Snowman, Rick I. Cohen, Huan Wang, Ran Li, David I. Shreiber, Jeffrey D. Zahn, Zheng Shi, Hao Lin

“…The cadherin-actin contractility linkage is mediated by Rac1, which serves as a molecular switch to trigger cortex remodeling and contraction via myosin II. Inhibition of Rac1 activity decreases tension polarization and leads to reduced coherence in both small clusters and spheroids. …”

Synergistic activity of Pitstop-2 and 1,6-hexanediol in aggressive human lung cancer cells by Sílvio Terra Stefanello, Caren Rigon Mizdal, Aline Franzen da Silva, Luca Matteo Todesca, Félix Alexandre Antunes Soares, Victor Shahin

“…We have previously demonstrated the ability of two different types of compounds to interfere with linchpins of metabolic reprogramming, Pitstop-2 and 1,6-hexanediol (1,6-HD). 1,6-HD disrupts glycolysis enzymes and mitochondrial function, enhancing reactive oxygen species production and reducing cellular ATP levels, while Pitstop-2 impedes clathrin-mediated endocytosis and small GTPases activity. Besides, both compounds interfere with the integrity of nuclear pore complexes, the gatekeepers for all nucleocytoplasmic transport. …”
