    Abstract In recent years, targeted drug delivery has attracted a great interest for enhanced therapeutic efficiency, with diminished side effects, especially in cancer therapy. Cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) like HIV1-TAT peptides, appear to be the perfect vectors for translocating drugs or other cargoes across the plasma membrane, but their application is limited mostly due to insufficient specificity for intended targets. Although these molecules were successfully used, the mechanism by which the peptides enter the cell interior still needs to be clarified. The tripeptide motif RGD (arginine-glycine-aspartate), found in extracellular matrix proteins has high affinity for integrin receptors overexpressed in cancer and it is involved in different phases of disease progression, including proliferation, invasion and migration. Discovery of new peptides with high binding affinity for disease receptors and permeability of plasma membranes is desirable for both, development of targeted drug delivery systems and early detection and diagnosis. To complement the TAT peptide with specific targeting ability, we conjugated it with an integrin-binding RGD motif. Although the idea of RGD-CPPs conjugates is not entirely new,

    Abstract Cells reinforce adhesion strength and cytoskeleton anchoring in response to the actomyosin force. The mechanical stretching of talin, which exposes cryptic vinculin-binding sites, triggers this process. The binding of RIAM to talin could regulate this mechanism. However, the mechanosensitivity of the talin-RIAM complex has never been tested. It is also not known whether RIAM controls the mechanosensitivity of the talin-vinculin complex. To address these issues, we designed an in vitro microscopy assay with purified proteins in which the actomyosin force controls RIAM and vinculin-binding to talin. We demonstrate that actomyosin triggers RIAM dissociation from several talin domains. Actomyosin also provokes the sequential exchange of RIAM for vinculin on talin. The effect of RIAM on this force-dependent binding of vinculin to talin varies from one talin domain to another. This mechanism could allow talin to biochemically code a wide range of forces by selecting different combinations of partners.

    Abstract A cell constantly adapts to its environment. Cell decisions to survive, to proliferate or to migrate are dictated not only by soluble growth factors, but also through the direct interaction of the cell with the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM). Integrins and their connections to the actin cytoskeleton are crucial for monitoring cell attachment and the physical properties of the substratum. Cell adhesion dynamics are modulated in complex ways by the polymerization of branched and linear actin arrays, which in turn reinforce ECM-cytoskeleton connection. This review describes the major actin regulators, Ena/VASP proteins, formins and Arp2/3 complexes, in the context of signaling pathways downstream of integrins. We focus on the specific signaling pathways that transduce the rigidity of the substrate and which control durotaxis, i.e. directed migration of cells towards increased ECM rigidity. By doing so, we highlight several recent findings on mechanotransduction and put them into a broad integrative perspective that is the result of decades of intense research on the actin cytoskeleton and its regulation.

    Abstract Focal adhesions are composed of transmembrane integrins, linking the extracellular matrix to the actomyosin cytoskeleton, via cytoplasmic proteins. Adhesion depends on the activation of integrins. Talin and kindlin proteins are intracellular activators of integrins that bind to β-integrin cytoplasmic tails. Integrin activation and clustering through extracellular ligands guide the organization of adhesion complexes. However, the roles of talin and kindlin in this process are poorly understood. To determine the contribution of talin, kindlin, lipids and actomyosin in integrin clustering, we used a biomimetic in vitro system, made of giant unilamellar vesicles, containing transmembrane integrins (herein αIIbβ3), with purified talin (talin-1), kindlin (kindlin-2, also known as FERMT2) and actomyosin. Here, we show that talin and kindlin individually have the ability to cluster integrins. Talin and kindlin synergize to induce the formation of larger integrin clusters containing the three proteins. Comparison of protein density reveals that kindlin increases talin and integrin density, whereas talin does not affect kindlin and integrin density. Finally, kindlin increases integrin-talin-actomyosin coupling. Our study unambiguously demonstrates how kindlin and talin cooperate to induce integrin clustering, which is a major parameter for cell adhesion.

    Abstract Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUV) are powerful tools to explore physics and biochemistry of the cell membrane in controlled conditions. For example, GUVs were extensively used to probe cell adhesion, but often using non-physiological linkers, due to the difficulty of incorporating transmembrane adhesion proteins into model membranes. Here we describe a new protocol for making GUVs incorporating the transmembrane protein integrin using gel-assisted swelling. We report an optimised protocol, enumerating the pitfalls encountered and precautions to be taken to maintain the robustness of the protocol. We characterise intermediate steps of small proteoliposome formation and the final formed GUVs. We show that the integrin molecules are successfully incorporated and are functional.

How cells control filopodium initiation on the plasma membrane remains elusive. We performed experiments in cellulo, in vitro, and in silico to unravel the mechanism of filopodium initiation driven by the membrane curvature sensor IRSp53 (insulin receptor substrate protein of 53 kDa).

    Abstract Background information: Actin cytoskeleton contractility plays a critical role in morphogenetic processes by generating forces that are then transmitted to cell-cell and cell-ECM adhesion complexes. In turn, mechanical properties of the environment are sensed and transmitted to the cytoskeleton at cell adhesion sites, influencing cellular processes such as cell migration, differentiation and survival. Anchoring of the actomyosin cytoskeleton to adhesion sites is mediated by adaptor proteins such as talin or α-catenin that link F-actin to transmembrane cell adhesion receptors, thereby allowing mechanical coupling between the intracellular and extracellular compartments. Thus, a key issue is to be able to measure the forces generated by actomyosin and transmitted to the adhesion complexes. Approaches developed in cells and those probing single molecule mechanical properties of α-catenin molecules allowed to identify α-catenin, an F-actin binding protein which binds to the cadherin complexes as a major player in cadherin-based mechanotransduction. However, it is still very difficult to bridge intercellular forces measured at cellular levels and those measured at the single-molecule level.
    Results: Here, we applied an intermediate approach allowing reconstruction of the actomyosin-α-catenin complex in acellular conditions to probe directly the transmitted forces. For this, we combined micropatterning of purified α-catenin and spontaneous actomyosin network assembly in the presence of G-actin and Myosin II with microforce sensor arrays used so far to measure cell-generated forces.
    Conclusions: Using this method, we show that self-organizing actomyosin bundles bound to micrometric α-catenin patches can apply near-nano-Newton forces.
    Significance: Our results pave the way for future studies on molecular/cellular mechanotransduction and mechanosensing.

    Abstract Background: Airway clearance techniques are supposed to be a necessary adjunct for the enhancement of impaired peripheral clearance in cystic fibrosis (CF). The objective was to assess the effect of one physiotherapy session (autogenic drainage: AD) on mucus clearance (sputum wet weight) and impulse oscillometry system (IOS) indices, including those obtained from extended Resistance-Inertance-Compliance (eRIC) modelling, considering the degree of bronchial congestion.
    Methods: Thirty children with CF (median age: 12.7 years) in a stable condition prospectively underwent IOS measurements at baseline and after AD. They were divided in two groups: with (visual analog scale of bronchial congestion by the physiotherapist ≥ 5/10) and without (scale < 5/10) bronchial congestion. Paired-comparison of the effects of AD on airway resistance measurements was done with Wilcoxon test.
    Results: The congestion scale correlated with the wet weight of sputum production during the session (Pearson test: p < 0.0001, R = 0.66). Ten children had bronchial congestion and 20 were without congestion. In the whole group, R5-20 Hz significantly decreased after AD (P = 0.049), which was related to a decrease in the children with congestion (P = 0.025), whereas it was not significantly modified in the children without congestion (P = 0.327). The eRIC model allowed the calculation of the peripheral resistance of the respiratory system, which also decreased in the children with congestion (P = 0.037), however, not modified in the children without congestion (P = 0.390).
    Conclusion: One session of autogenic drainage has the ability to decrease peripheral resistance obtained from IOS measurements, more specifically in children with CF with moderate to severe bronchial congestion.
