Cytoplasmic accumulation and plasma membrane association of anillin and Ect2 promote confined migration and invasion.

ABSTRACT: Cells migrating in confinement experience mechanical challenges whose consequences on cell migration machinery remain only partially understood. Here, we demonstrate that a pool of the cytokinesis regulatory protein anillin is retained during interphase in the cytoplasm of different cell types. Confinement induces recruitment of cytoplasmic anillin to plasma membrane at the poles of migrating cells, which is further enhanced upon nuclear envelope (NE) rupture(s). Rupture events also enable the cytoplasmic egress of predominantly nuclear RhoGEF Ect2. Anillin and Ect2 redistributions scale with microenvironmental stiffness and confinement, and are observed in confined cells in vitro and in invading tumor cells in vivo. Anillin, which binds actomyosin at the cell poles, and Ect2, which activates RhoA, cooperate additively to promote myosin II contractility, and promote efficient invasion and extravasation. Overall, our work provides a mechanistic understanding of how cytokinesis regulators mediate RhoA/ROCK/myosin II-dependent mechanoadaptation during confined migration and invasive cancer progression.

Project description:Neisseria meningitidis (meningococcus) is a Gram-negative bacterium responsible for epidemic meningitis and sepsis worldwide. A critical step in the development of meningitis is the interaction of bacteria with cells forming the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier, which requires tight adhesion of the pathogen to highly specialized brain endothelial cells. Two endothelial receptors, CD147 and the β2-adrenergic receptor, have been found to be sequentially recruited by meningococci involving the interaction with type IV pilus. Despite the identification of cellular key players in bacterial adhesion the detailed mechanism of invasion is still poorly understood. Here, we investigated cellular dynamics and mobility of the type IV pilus receptor CD147 upon treatment with pili enriched fractions and specific antibodies directed against two extracellular Ig-like domains in living human brain microvascular endothelial cells. Modulation of CD147 mobility after ligand binding revealed by single-molecule tracking experiments demonstrates receptor activation and indicates plasma membrane rearrangements. Exploiting the binding of Shiga (STxB) and Cholera toxin B (CTxB) subunits to the two native plasma membrane sphingolipids globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) and raft-associated monosialotetrahexosylganglioside GM1, respectively, we investigated their involvement in bacterial invasion by super-resolution microscopy. Structured illumination microscopy (SIM) and direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (dSTORM) unraveled accumulation and coating of meningococci with GM1 upon cellular uptake. Blocking of CTxB binding sites did not impair bacterial adhesion but dramatically reduced bacterial invasion efficiency. In addition, cell cycle arrest in G1 phase induced by serum starvation led to an overall increase of GM1 molecules in the plasma membrane and consequently also in bacterial invasion efficiency. Our results will help to understand downstream signaling events after initial type IV pilus-host cell interactions and thus have general impact on the development of new therapeutics targeting key molecules involved in infection.
