Conserved microtubule–actin interactions in cell movement and morphogenesis

Abstract: Interactions between microtubules and actin are a basic phenomenon that underlies many fundamental processes in which dynamic cellular asymmetries need to be established and maintained. These are processes as diverse as cell motility, neuronal pathfinding, cellular wound healing, cell division and cortical flow. Microtubules and actin exhibit two mechanistic classes of interactions--regulatory and structural. These interactions comprise at least three conserved 'mechanochemical activity modules' that perform s… Show more

“…In this scenario, it is likely that the action of HDAC6 in angiogenesis is independent of gene transcription but instead involves cytoskeleton-associated events. This is supported by our finding that HDAC6 stimulates membrane ruffling at the leading edge of vascular endothelial cells and promotes cell polarization and migration, which are important steps in angiogenesis and rely on dynamic rearrangement of actin filaments and microtubules (Rodriguez et al, 2003;Lamalice et al, 2007).…”

“…For example, the centrosome is randomly localized in quiescent endothelial cells and reorients towards the leading edge in the presence of migratory stimuli (Bornens, 2008). Efficient cell migration also relies on dynamic rearrangement of the cytoskeleton (Rodriguez et al, 2003). Especially, a number of signaling molecules can associate with cytoske-letal components and modulate cytoskeletal dynamics, thereby promoting cell polarization and migration.…”

“…Thus, microtubule dynamics may activate Rho proteins, which in turn feed back to control the net growth and stability of microtubules at the leading edge [47]. The combined effects of Rho proteins on actin and microtubule cytoskeleton and the dynamic interactions [61,62] between these two filament systems indicate that Rho proteins exert their influence on cell motility by coordinate control of cytoskeleton converging on focal adhesion dynamics (Fig. 1B).…”

“…Neurons represent an extreme example of cell asymmetry, and the cytoskeleton is directly involved in neurite extension (19,26). Cultured hippocampus embryonic murine neurons follow a classic pattern of development (23): Up to 20 hours, a few neurites appear (stage II), and most of them end in a growth cone.…”

“…Microtubules and actin filaments are of particular interest since both form dynamic networks that are constantly undergoing reorganization. There is a tight relationship between microtubules and actin spatial organizations on the one hand, and vital cellular functions, including cell division, cell motility, cell morphogenesis, and cell organization, on the other hand (19). In vitro, microtubule and actin polymer orientation is strongly affected by HMF above 5 T for microtubules (20) or above 12 T for actin filaments (21).…”
