ERK activation waves coordinate mechanical cell competition leading to collective elimination via extrusion of bacterially infected cells by Lara Hundsdorfer, Marie Muenkel, Raul Aparicio-Yuste, Julio Cesar Sanchez-Rendon, Maria Jose Gomez-Benito, Aylin Balmes, Tilman E. Schäffer, Ana Velic, Yi-Ting Yeh, Iordania Constantinou, Kathryn Wright, Gizem Özbaykal Güler, Dominik Brokatzky, Boris Maček, Serge Mostowy, Effie E. Bastounis

“…Here, using in vitro (epithelial monolayers) and in vivo (zebrafish larvae) models of infection with L. monocytogenes or Shigella flexneri, we explored the role of extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activity waves in coordinating the mechanical battle between infected and surrounder uninfected cells that leads to CICE. We discovered that when ERK waves are suppressed, cells fail to exhibit alterations in cell shape and kinematics associated with CICE and behave more like quiescent uninfected monolayers. …”
