-
The phenotype of cancer invasion depends on composition and density of the ECM, and can vary from amoeboid blebbing, mesenchymal fibroblast-like motility and multicellular streaming or chain migration

The scope is to develop a robust real-time image analysis solution along with its associated development environment that will be capable of automatically segmenting and tracking cells online, detecting morphological changes (cell division/shrinkage, membrane blebbing, etc.) and generating time-series data.

The first paper is about immune cells in sea urchins and concludes that "the acto-myosin contractile mechanism contributes to the dynamics of constitutive cell surface membrane blebbing in invertebrate immune cells."

(B) Treatment with 5 µM ionomycin for 10 min caused ER fission along with a pronounced effect on gross dendritic structure (dendritic blebbing).

Our results suggest that a ROCK1: LIMK2 interaction is not involved in the blebbing / rounded phenotype and would not be required for amoeboid migration.

-
Amoeboid migration is characterised by membrane blebbing that is dependent on the Rho effectors, ROCK1 / 2.

-
We speculate that the interaction between ROCK1 and LIMK2 does not play a significant role in membrane blebbing associated cell migration nor in the regulation of cofilin phosphorylation at the cell periphery.

In support of this hypothesis, novel FRET data demonstrate a direct interaction between ROCK1 and LIMK2 in polarised but not blebbing cells.
