Sugar Antennae for Guidance Signals: Syndecans and Glypicans Integrate Directional Cues for Navigating Neurons by Christa Rhiner, Michael O. Hengartner

“…Recently, heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs), which are present on the cell surface of neurons and in the extracellular matrix through which neurons and axons migrate, have been found to play a role in regulating cell migration and axon guidance. Intriguingly, the large number of distinct modifications that can be put onto the sugar side chains of these PGs would in principle allow for an enormous diversity of HSPGs, which could help in regulating the vast number of guidance choices taken by individual neurons. …”

The Oxidative State of Chylomicron Remnants Influences Their Modulation of Human Monocyte Activation by Sandra Armengol Lopez, Kathleen M. Botham, Charlotte Lawson

“…Chylomicron remnants (CMRs) contribute directly to human monocyte activation in vitro, by increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and cell migration. In this study, the effects of the oxidative state of CMR on the degree of monocyte activation was investigated. …”

Mesenchymal Stem Cells and their Derived Exosomes Promote Malignant Phenotype of Polyploid Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Cells through AMPK Signaling Pathway by Lili Wang, Mingyue Ouyang, Sining Xing, Song Zhao, Shuo Liu, Lingyan Sun, Huiying Yu

“…Compared with the control group, MSCs and MSC-exosomes significantly promoted epithelial mesenchymal transformation, cell migration, antiapoptosis, and autophagy in the polyploid A549 and H1299 by activating AMPK signaling pathway, but no significant changes were observed in MSC-CM treatment. …”

Neuropilin1-dependent paracrine signaling of cancer cells mediated by miRNA exosomal cargo by Claudia Palazzo, Roberta Mastrantonio, Noemi Gioelli, Erika Testa, Francesco Recco, Donatella Lucchetti, Giulia Villari, Alessio D’Alessio, Alessandro Sgambato, Flavio Mignone, Guido Serini, Maria Teresa Viscomi, Luca Tamagnone

“…Data furthermore indicate that the exosomes released through this NRP1-driven mechanism effectively transfer miR-210-3p to human endothelial cells, causing paracrine downregulation of the regulatory cue ephrin-A3 and promotion of cell migration. The mechanistic involvement of miR-210-3p in this pathway was confirmed by applying a specific antago-miR. …”

Spatial stochastic models of cancer: Fitness, migration, invasion by Natalia L. Komarova

“…Thus, a decrease in the reproductive potentialcan be compensated by an increase in cell migration. We furtherdemonstrate that the neutral ridges (the set of all types with theinvasion probability equal to that of the host cells) remain invariantunder the increase of system size (for large system sizes), thusmaking the invasion probability a universal characteristic of thecells' selection status. …”

MLLT11 siRNA Inhibits the Migration and Promotes the Apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 Breast Cancer Cells by Xiangrong Liu, Wenqi Bai, Jianrong Li, Jinfeng Ma, Yan Liu, Zhixiang Wang, Linjie Hu, Zheng Li, Dimitri Papukashvili, Nino Rcheulishvili, Fusheng Wang, Xiaoqing Lu

“…The results demonstrated that the siRNA significantly reduced the MLLT11 mRNA levels. Moreover, cell migration and invasion, as well as the protein levels of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), AKT, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 2, and MMP9, were significantly lower in the groups treated with siRNA while the apoptosis was augmented. …”

LOX-1, OxLDL, and Atherosclerosis by Angela Pirillo, Giuseppe Danilo Norata, Alberico Luigi Catapano

“…Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) contributes to the atherosclerotic plaque formation and progression by several mechanisms, including the induction of endothelial cell activation and dysfunction, macrophage foam cell formation, and smooth muscle cell migration and proliferation. Vascular wall cells express on their surface several scavenger receptors that mediate the cellular effects of OxLDL. …”

c-Jun-N-Terminal Kinase Signaling Is Involved in Cyclosporine-Induced Epithelial Phenotypic Changes by Nicolas Pallet, Eric Thervet, Dany Anglicheau

“…In primary cultures of human renal epithelial cells, CsA activates JNK signaling, and the treatment with a JNK inhibitor reduces the occurrence of cell shape changes, E-cadherin downregulation, cell migration, and Snail-1 expression. Our results suggest that CsA activates JNK signaling, which, in turn, may participate in the morphological alterations through the regulation of Snail-1 expression.…”
