Swimming migration is a subtype of amoeboid migration that is observed in cells in suspension ex vivo. However, the mechanism underlying swimming migration in vivo is unknown. Using Drosophila fat body cells (FBCs) as a model, we show that FBCs actively swim to patrol the pupa by random walk. Their migration is powered through actomyosin waves that exert compressive forces as they travel to the cell rear, causing cell deformations. Unlike in other types of amoeboid migration, Rho1 (the Drosophila orthologue of RhoA), Cdc42 and Rac1 are all required for regulation of formin-driven actin polymerization during FBC migration. We find that Rho1 at the cell rear induces actomyosin contractions via Rho kinase and myosin II. We show that contractile actin waves display a stochastic behaviour, inducing either cell elongation or rounding, suggesting that non-reciprocal cell deformations drive locomotion. Importantly, our work in a physiological system reveals that stochastic actomyosin waves promote random-walk swimming migration to enable fast, long-range cell dispersal. We propose that this individualist migration behaviour collectively allows patrolling of the pupal body.","PeriodicalId":15227,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cell science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12148041/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143780097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding the mechanisms driving CRC is crucial for developing effective treatments. Previous studies, including our own, highlight the role of six-transmembrane epithelial antigen of prostate 4 (STEAP4) in promoting colon tumorigenesis through reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, making it a promising target. Our research provides compelling evidence that STEAP4 knockout significantly reduces colon tumorigenesis in a genetically engineered mouse model. Suppressing STEAP4 via knockdown techniques effectively attenuated the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2)-NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) signaling pathway, inducing apoptosis and autophagy, leading to substantial reductions in xenograft tumor growth. In contrast, STEAP4 overexpression amplified ROS production and activated the NRF2-NQO1 pathway in a ferric iron (Fe3+)-dependent manner. Notably, bioactivatable drugs targeting NQO1 were highly effective at eradicating STEAP4-overexpressing colon cancer cells. These findings highlight the potential of targeted therapeutic interventions for CRC, particularly through STEAP4 modulation. In conclusion, our study advances understanding of the role of STEAP4 in colon tumorigenesis, offering promising avenues for novel CRC treatments.","PeriodicalId":15227,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cell science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12148032/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144000981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cancer cells in acidic environments increase lipid droplet accumulation and oxidative phosphorylation, which are characteristics of aggressive cancers. Here, we used live imaging, shotgun lipidomics and immunofluorescence analyses of mammary and pancreatic cancer cells to demonstrate that both acute acidosis and adaptation to acidic growth drive rapid uptake of fatty acids (FAs), which are converted to triacylglycerols and stored in lipid droplets. Consistent with being independent of de novo synthesis, triacylglycerol and lipid droplet accumulation in acid-adapted cells was unaffected by FA synthetase (FAS, encoded by FASN) inhibitors. Macropinocytosis, which is upregulated in acid-adapted cells, partially contributed to FA uptake, which was independent of other protein-facilitated lipid uptake mechanisms, including uptake via CD36 and FATP2, and caveolin- and clathrin-dependent endocytosis. We propose that a major mechanism by which tumor acidosis drives FA uptake is through neutralizing protonation of negatively charged FAs allowing their diffusive, transporter-independent uptake. We suggest that this could be a major factor triggering acidosis-driven metabolic rewiring.","PeriodicalId":15227,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cell science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143795577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CEP215 (also known as CDK5RAP2) is a key pericentriolar material (PCM) protein for microtubule organization of the human centrosome. Here, we provide evidence that CEP215 exhibits a dynamically suppressed, solid-like state in interphase centrosomes, and becomes a more dynamic state in mitotic centrosomes. Specific interaction with PCNT, another centrosome protein, is crucial for diffusible molecular dynamicity of the CEP215 protein. We also found that the cluster formation activity of CEP215 is impaired in a light-inducible system when its coiled-coil domains (CCDs) are truncated. Defects in spindle pole assembly and spindle formation were accompanied in the cells whose CEP215 is replaced with the CCD-truncated mutants. Our results support the notion that the diffusible mobility of CEP215 is enhanced by both homotypic and heterotypic interactions among CCDs, especially at mitotic spindle poles.

However, in platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-induced signaling, Erk1/2 phosphorylate Pak1 to drive cell migration while remaining at the plasma membrane, raising the question of whether scaffolding proteins are required. Similarly, the small GTPase Arf-like protein 4D (Arl4D) promotes cell migration by recruiting Pak1 to the plasma membrane and facilitating its phosphorylation, although the mechanism linking recruitment to phosphorylation remains unclear. To address these questions, we show that Arl4D functions as a scaffolding protein by recruiting Erk1/2 and Pak1 to the plasma membrane, assembling them into a functional complex. This complex allows Erk1/2 to phosphorylate Pak1, supporting the role of the latter in cell migration. Our findings identify Arl4D as a novel regulator of Erk1/2, reveal a conserved role of scaffolding proteins in Erk1/2 substrate targeting, and uncover an unrecognized interplay among Arl4D, Erk1/2 and Pak1.

Here, we report a role for PI31 as a positive regulator for assembly of the 20S immunoproteasome (20Si), a compositionally and functionally distinct isoform of the proteasome that is poorly inhibited by PI31. Genetic ablation of PI31 in mammalian cells had no effect on the cellular content or activity of constitutively expressed proteasomes but reduced the cellular content and activity of interferon-γ-induced immunoproteasomes. This selective effect results from impaired 20Si assembly, evidenced by the accumulation of 20Si assembly intermediates.
