Cell Migration Is Regulated by Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptor Endocytosis

TL;DR: It is found that Grb2 serves as an adaptor protein in the formation of a ternary complex between the PDGF receptor, DOCK4, and Dynamin, which is formed at the leading edge of cells and regulates PDGF-dependent cell migration.

CXCL13 mediates prostate cancer cell proliferation through JNK signalling and invasion through ERK activation

TL;DR: The focus of this study was to determine the dedicator of cytokinesis 2 (DOCK2), extracellular signal‐regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), c‐Jun N‐terminal kinase‐1 (JNK) and Akt signals involved in CXCL13‐mediated prostate cancer (PCa) cell invasion and proliferation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuronal action on the developing blood vessel pattern.

TL;DR: How the nervous system directly influences blood vessel patterning resulting in neuro-vascular congruence that is maintained throughout development and in the adult is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anti-inflammatory effects of the GABA(B) receptor agonist baclofen in allergic contact dermatitis.

TL;DR: Anti‐inflammatory effects of the GABAB receptor agonist baclofen in allergic contact dermatitis is reported to be anti-inflammatory.
Journal ArticleDOI

β-arrestin-dependent actin reorganization: bringing the right players together at the leading edge.

TL;DR: Recent advances in understanding of how β-arrestin scaffolds contribute to cell migration are discussed, focusing on recently identified β-Arrestin interacting proteins and phosphorylation targets that have known roles in actin reorganization.

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.
