Developing tissues change shape and tumors initiate spreading through collective cell motility. Conserved mechanisms by which tissues initiate motility into their surroundings are not known. We investigated cytoskeletal regulators during collective invasion by mouse tumor organoids and epithelial Madin–Darby canine kidney (MDCK) acini undergoing branching morphogenesis in collagen. Use of the broad-spectrum formin inhibitor SMIFH2 prevented the formation of migrating cell fronts in both cell types. Focusing on the role of the formin Dia1 in branching morphogenesis, we found that its depletion in MDCK cells does not alter planar cell motility either within the acinus or in two-dimensional scattering assays. However, Dia1 was required to stabilize protrusions extending into the collagen matrix. Live imaging of actin, myosin, and collagen in control acini revealed adhesions that deformed individual collagen fibrils and generated large traction forces, whereas Dia1-depleted acini exhibited unstable adhesions with minimal collagen deformation and lower force generation. This work identifies Dia1 as an essential regulator of tissue shape changes through its role in stabilizing focal adhesions.

AbstractDeveloping tissues change shape, and tumors initiate spreading, through collective cell motility. Conserved mechanisms by which tissues initiate motility into their surroundings are not known. We investigated cytoskeletal regulators during collective invasion by mouse tumor organoids and epithelial MDCK acini undergoing branching morphogenesis. Inhibition of formins, but not Arp2/3, prevented the formation of migrating cell fronts in both cell types. MDCK cells depleted of the formin protein Dia1 formed polarized acini and could execute planar cell motility, either within the acinus or in 2D scattering assays. However, Dia1 was required to form protrusions into the collagen matrix. Live imaging of actin, myosin, and collagen in control acini revealed adhesions that deformed individual collagen fibrils, while Dia1-depleted acini exhibited unstable adhesions with minimal collagen deformation. This work identifies Dia1-mediated adhesions as essential regulators of tissue shape changes, through their role in focal adhesion maturation.

The Rab11 effector Rab11-family interacting protein 2 (Rab11-FIP2) regulates transcytosis through its interactions with Rab11a and myosin Vb. Previous studies implicated Rab11-FIP2 in the establishment of polarity in Madin–Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells through phosphorylation of Ser-227 by MARK2. Here we examine the dynamic role of Rab11-FIP2 phosphorylation on MDCK cell polarity. Endogenous Rab11-FIP2 phosphorylated on Ser-227 coalesces on vesicular plaques during the reestablishment of polarity after either monolayer wounding or calcium switch. Whereas expression of the nonphosphorylatable Rab11-FIP2(S227A) elicits a loss in lumen formation in MDCK cell cysts grown in Matrigel, the putative pseudophosphorylated Rab11-FIP2(S227E) mutant induces the formation of cysts with multiple lumens. On permeable filters, Rab11-FIP2(S227E)–expressing cells exhibit alterations in the composition of both the adherens and tight junctions. At the adherens junction, p120 catenin and K-cadherin are retained, whereas the majority of the E-cadherin is lost. Although ZO-1 is retained at the tight junction, occludin is lost and the claudin composition is altered. Of interest, the effects of Rab11-FIP2 on cellular polarity did not involve myosin Vb or Rab11a. These results indicate that Ser-227 phosphorylation of Rab11-FIP2 regulates the composition of both adherens and tight junctions and is intimately involved in the regulation of polarity in epithelial cells.

Molecular and anatomical functions of mammalian Dip2 family members (Dip2A, Dip2B and Dip2C) during organogenesis are largely unknown. Here, we explored the indispensable role of Dip2B in mouse lung development. Using a LacZ reporter, we explored Dip2B expression during embryogenesis. This study shows that Dip2B expression is widely distributed in various neuronal, myocardial, endothelial, and epithelial cell types during embryogenesis. Target disruption of Dip2b leads to intrauterine growth restriction, defective lung formation and perinatal mortality. Dip2B is crucial for late lung maturation rather than early-branching morphogenesis. The morphological analysis shows that Dip2b loss leads to disrupted air sac formation, interstitium septation and increased cellularity. In BrdU incorporation assay, it is shown that Dip2b loss results in increased cell proliferation at the saccular stage of lung development. RNA-seq analysis reveals that 1431 genes are affected in Dip2b deficient lungs at E18.5 gestation age. Gene ontology analysis indicates cell cycle-related genes are upregulated and immune system related genes are downregulated. KEGG analysis identifies oxidative phosphorylation as the most overrepresented pathways along with the G2/M phase transition pathway. Loss of Dip2b de-represses the expression of alveolar type I and type II molecular markers. Altogether, the study demonstrates an important role of Dip2B in lung maturation and survival.

Volume Decrease

Osmotic swelling of dissociated Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells in NaCl medium is followed by shrinking (regulatory volume decrease, or RVD) or in KCl medium by secondary swelling. The cation ionophore gramicidin has little effect on volumes of isotonic cells but accelerates volume-activated changes in either medium. Immediately after hypotonic exposure, the membrane becomes transiently hyperpolarized followed by depolarization. The depolarization phase is diminished by the anion transport inhibitor 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS). Swelling is also associated with an almost immediate increase in Ca2+ influx and elevation of cytoplasmic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) preceding RVD. In Ca2(+)-free medium, [Ca2+]i rapidly declines to a low level. Osmotic swelling, under these circumstances, is associated with a small transient increase in [Ca2+]i, but RVD or secondary swelling (in KCl) are minimal. Under these conditions, addition of gramicidin or the Ca2(+)-ionophore A23187 induces significant volume changes, although not as large as those found in the presence of Ca2+. Quinine inhibits RVD in the absence of gramicidin, but not in its presence; oligomycin C, DIDS, and trifluoperazine, on the other hand, inhibit in the presence of the ionophore. These findings suggest that in MDCK cells RVD involves activation of distinct conductive K+ and Cl- pathways which allow escape of KCl and osmotically obligated water and that activation of both pathways is associated with elevated [Ca2+]i derived largely from volume activation of a Ca2(+)-influx pathway.

To assess the participation of the 150-kDa oxygen-regulated protein (ORP150) in protein transport, its function in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells was studied. Exposure of MDCK cells to hypoxia resulted in an increase of ORP150 antigen and increased binding of ORP150 to GP80/clusterin (80-kDa glycoprotein), a natural secretory protein in this cell line. In ORP150 antisense transformant MDCK cells, GP80 was retained within the endoplasmic reticulum after exposure to hypoxia. Metabolic labeling showed the delay of GP80 maturation in antisense transformants in hypoxia, whereas its matured form was detected in wild-type cells, indicating a role of ORP150 in protein transport, especially in hypoxia. The affinity chromatographic analysis of ORP150 suggested its ability to bind to ATP-agarose. Furthermore, the ATP hydrolysis analysis showed that ORP150 can release GP80 at a lower ATP concentration. These data indicate that ORP150 may function as a unique molecular chaperone in renal epithelial cells by facilitating protein transport/maturation in an environment where less ATP is accessible.

Epithelial differentiation involves the generation of luminal surfaces and of a noncentrosomal microtubule (MT) network aligned along the polarity axis. Columnar epithelia (e.g., kidney, intestine, and Madin-Darby canine kidney [MDCK] cells) generate apical lumina and orient MT vertically, whereas liver epithelial cells (hepatocytes and WIFB9 cells) generate lumina at cell–cell contact sites (bile canaliculi) and orient MTs horizontally. We report that knockdown or inhibition of the mammalian orthologue of Caenorhabditis elegans Par-1 (EMK1 and MARK2) during polarization of cultured MDCK and WIFB9 cells prevented development of their characteristic lumen and nonradial MT networks. Conversely, EMK1 overexpression induced the appearance of intercellular lumina and horizontal MT arrays in MDCK cells, making EMK1 the first known candidate to regulate the developmental branching decision between hepatic and columnar epithelial cells. Our experiments suggest that EMK1 primarily promotes reorganization of the MT network, consistent with the MT-regulating role of this gene product in other systems, which in turn controls lumen formation and position.

Specific anti-Acanthamoeba IgA antibodies have been detected in the serum and tears of patients and healthy individuals. However, the role of human secretory IgA antibodies in inhibiting the adherence of Acanthamoeba had not been previously investigated. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to purify secretory IgA from human colostrum and analyze its effect on the adherence of Acanthamoeba trophozoites to contact lenses and Madin–Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. IgA antibodies to Acanthamoeba polyphaga in colostrum of healthy women as well as in saliva and serum of healthy subjects were analyzed by ELISA and Western blot analysis. In serum, saliva, and colostrum, we detected IgA antibodies that recognized several antigens of A. polyphaga. In addition, colostrum and IgA antibodies purified from it inhibited adherence of A. polyphaga trophozoites to contact lenses and MDCK cells. These results suggest that IgA antibodies may participate in the resistance to the amoebic infection, probably by inhibiting the adherence of the trophozoites to contact lenses and corneal epithelial cells.Key words: Acanthamoeba polyphaga, free-living amoebas, colostrum, IgA.

Abstract Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant brain tumor and is characterized by its ability to invade into the surrounding microenvironment of the brain. The invasiveness of GBM makes this cancer extremely hard to treat, leading to a median patient survival of less than 16 months. Interactions between the tumor and surrounding tumor microenvironment (TME) play a key role in glioma invasion. Previous data from our xenograft mouse tumor implant model displays increased invasion in regions of fluid flow. Using this model, we identified an upregulation of sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 3 (S1PR3) in the TME in regions of flow. We used a syngeneic GL261 mouse model and found S1PR3-/- mice display decreased flow-mediated glioma invasion in comparison to wild type mice. To further understand the individual contributions of the S1PR3-presenting cells in the TME, we have examined the role of S1PR3 in our in vitro system. This system is based on patient derived cellular ratios and incorporates collagen-hyaluronan hydrogels placed within 96 well tissue culture insert plates. The tunability of this model allows for interactions between various cell types and the impact of fluid flow on invasion to be examined. To examine the role of S1PR3 on invasion, TY52156 (an S1PR3 inhibitor) was applied to different cellular combinations including: G34 alone (a patient-specific cell line), +astrocytes, +microglia, +TME (astrocytes and microglia). A significant decrease in G34 flow stimulated invasion was observed with TY52156 but only in the presence of the TME or microglia alone. This data suggests that TY52156 thwarts the effects of flow and the microglia contributions to invasion. To further this work we plan to identify and evaluate other S1PR3-expressing cell types from mouse tumor implant samples using immunohistochemistry staining. This information will be used to determine further components that can be examined in our in vitro model.

Primary cilia are found on many epithelial cell types, including renal tubular epithelial cells, in which they are felt to participate in flow sensing and have been linked to the pathogenesis of cystic renal disorders such as autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. We previously localized the exocyst, an eight-protein complex involved in membrane trafficking, to the primary cilium of Madin-Darby canine kidney cells and showed that it was involved in cystogenesis. Here, using short hairpin RNA (shRNA) to knockdown exocyst expression and stable transfection to induce exocyst overexpression, we show that the exocyst protein Sec10 regulates primary ciliogenesis. Using immunofluorescence, scanning, and transmission electron microscopy, primary cilia containing only basal bodies are seen in the Sec10 knockdown cells, and increased ciliogenesis is seen in Sec10-overexpressing cells. These phenotypes do not seem to be because of gross changes in cell polarity, as apical, basolateral, and tight junction proteins remain properly localized. Sec10 knockdown prevents normal cyst morphogenesis when the cells are grown in a collagen matrix, whereas Sec10 overexpression results in increased cystogenesis. Transfection with human Sec10 resistant to the canine shRNA rescues the phenotype, demonstrating specificity. Finally, Par3 was recently shown to regulate primary cilia biogenesis. Par3 and the exocyst colocalized by immunofluorescence and coimmunoprecipitation, consistent with a role for the exocyst in targeting and docking vesicles carrying proteins necessary for primary ciliogenesis.
