SUMMARY:PhD Discussions Session: Carlos Pérez and Víctor González
DESCRIPTION:Active wetting of epithelial tissues\nCarlos Pérez\, Integrative cell and tissue dynamics group\nKey biological processes such as cancer and development are characterized by drastic transitions in tissue morphology. These rearrangements have been classically studied as a wetting problem. According to this theory\, wettability of a substrate by an epithelium is determined by the competition between cell-cell and cell-substrate adhesion energies. In contrast\, we found that\, far from a passive process\, tissue dewetting is an active process driven by tissue internal forces. Experimentally\, we reproduced epithelial dewetting by promoting a progressive formation of intercellular junctions in a monolayer of epithelial cells. Interestingly\, the formation of intercellular junctions produces an increase in cell contractility\, with the subsequent increase in traction and intercellular stress. At a certain time\, tissue tension overcomes cell-substrate maximum adhesion and the monolayer spontaneously dewets the substrate. We developed an active polar fluid model\, finding both theoretically and experimentally that critical contractility to promote wetting-dewetting transition depends on cell-substrate adhesion and\, unexpectedly\, on tissue size. As a whole\, this work generalizes wetting theory to living tissues\, unveiling unprecedented properties due to their unique active nature. \n  \nBinding of ZO-1 to α5β1 integrins regulates the mechanical properties of α5β1-fibronectin links\nVíctor González\, Cellular and molecular mechanobiology group\nFundamental processes in cell adhesion\, motility\, and rigidity adaptation are regulated by integrin-mediated adhesion to the extracellular matrix (ECM). The link between the ECM component fibronectin (fn) and integrin α5β1 forms a complex with ZO-1 in cells at the edge of migrating monolayers\, regulating cell migration. However\, how this complex affects the α5β1-fn link is unknown. Here we show that the α5β1/ZO-1 complex decreases the resistance to force of α5β1–fn adhesions located at the edge of migrating cell monolayers while also increasing α5β1 recruitment. Consistently with a molecular clutch model of adhesion\, this effect of ZO-1 leads to a decrease in the density and intensity of adhesions in cells at the edge of migrating monolayers. Taken together\, our results unveil a new mode of integrin regulation through modification of the mechanical properties of integrin–ECM links\, which may be harnessed by cells to control adhesion and migration.

SUMMARY:IBEC Seminar: Verena Ruprecht
DESCRIPTION:Tuning cell and tissue dynamics by the biomechanical microenvironment\nDr. Verena Ruprecht\, Cell & Developmental Biology program\, CRG\, Barcelona (Spain)\nResearch in our lab is focused on the control of cell and tissue dynamics in 3D environments. We study how single cells process multifactorial mechanochemical information from their surrounding and generate adaptive output dynamics such as shape change\, cell polarization and migration that collectively impact on tissue development and morphogenesis. We use Zebrafish embryos and primary embryonic progenitor stem cells as a model system to study molecular and cellular mechanisms driving complex three-dimensional tissue rearrangements and patterning in the embryo. Our lab follows a highly interdisciplinary approach combining molecular and cell biological tools with quantitative imaging approaches and advanced fluorescence microscopy. We implement a dual experiment strategy of in vivo experiments and minimalistic in vitro culture assays that allow for reconstituting the complexity of tissue morphogenesis in simplified environments.\nIn this talk I will specifically focus on how the  3D cellular microenvironment modulates cytoskeletal dynamics and motile cell behaviour and how a combination of physics and biology can help to elucidate generic patterns in cell motility.

SUMMARY:IBEC-IRB Barcelona joint seminar: Erik Sahai
DESCRIPTION:Imaging therapy response and failure\nErik Sahai\, The Francis Crick Institute\, London\nMany tumors show an initial response to targeted therapies before genetic resistance emerges\, however little is known about how tumor cells tolerate therapy before genetic resistance dominates. We present data that shows how the ECM generates a ‘safe haven’ in which melanoma cells can tolerate targeted therapy.  This supports the population of cancer cells from which genetically resistance emerges. We are now studying the emergence of resistant clones and clonal competition in the context of ‘safe havens’. Finally\, we present analysis of organ specific responses to targeted therapy in melanoma.
