Extracellular fluid viscosity enhances cell migration and cancer dissemination

Abstract: Cells respond to physical stimuli, such as stiffness1, fluid shear stress2 and hydraulic pressure3,4. Extracellular fluid viscosity is a key physical cue that varies under physiological and pathological conditions, such as cancer5. However, its influence on cancer biology and the mechanism by which cells sense and respond to changes in viscosity are unknown. Here we demonstrate that elevated viscosity counterintuitively increases the motility of various cell types on two-dimensional surfaces and in confinement… Show more

“…The peripheral ankyrin repeats 1, 2 and 6 underwent faster exchange (HDX at 10 3 s). The combined observations from HDX-MS and SAXS demonstrate that the ARD, although globally compact, experiences complex conformational dynamics, i.e., slower motions in the ARD core and faster dynamics within the ARD loops and peripheral ankyrin repeats in agreement with the extensive line broadening observed in the [ 1 H, 15 N]-NMR spectrum of the NTD (Fig. S2b).…”
