ARP2/3 complex is required for directional migration of neural stem cell-derived oligodendrocyte precursors in electric fields

TL;DR: EF-guided cell migration is an effective model to understanding the intracellular signaling pathway in the regulation of cell migration directness and motility and can be controlled by EFs.

Chemokine receptor trafficking coordinates neutrophil clustering and dispersal at wounds in zebrafish

TL;DR: In this paper, differential ligand-induced trafficking of chemokine receptors (Cxcr1 and Cxcr2) orchestrates the state of neutrophil congregation at sites of tissue damage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protons and Ca2+: ionic allies in tumor progression?

TL;DR: A role for proton-sensing ion channels and GPCRs as mediators of the effects of extracellular protons in cancer cells is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

HIF-1α links β-adrenoceptor agonists and pancreatic cancer cells under normoxic condition

TL;DR: A novel mechanism in pancreatic cancer cells that links β-AR and HIF-1α signaling under normoxic conditions is suggested, with implications for the control of glucose transport, angiogenesis and metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

G Protein-Coupled Receptor 87 (GPR87) Promotes the Growth and Metastasis of CD133+ Cancer Stem-Like Cells in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the overexpression of GPR87 up-regulated CD133 expression, promoted CSC-associated migratory and invasive properties in vitro, and increased tumor initiation in vivo.

Involvement of chemokine receptors in breast cancer metastasis.

TL;DR: It is reported that the chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CCR7 are highly expressed in human breast cancer cells, malignant breast tumours and metastases and their respective ligands CXCL12/SDF-1α and CCL21/6Ckine exhibit peak levels of expression in organs representing the first destinations of breast cancer metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rho GTPases in cell biology.

TL;DR: Rho GTPases are molecular switches that control a wide variety of signal transduction pathways in all eukaryotic cells and their ability to influence cell polarity, microtubule dynamics, membrane transport pathways and transcription factor activity is probably just as significant.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rho, Rac, and Cdc42 GTPases regulate the assembly of multimolecular focal complexes associated with actin stress fibers, lamellipodia, and filopodia

TL;DR: It is reported here that cdc42, another member of the rho family, triggers the formation of a third type of actin-based structure found at the cell periphery, filopodia, in addition to stress fibers, and rho controls the assembly of focal adhesion complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The small GTP-binding protein rac regulates growth factor-induced membrane ruffling.

TL;DR: It is proposed that rac and rho are essential components of signal transduction pathways linking growth factors to the organization of polymerized actin and that growth factors act through rac to stimulate this rho-dependent response.
