Quantitative definition of these forces is a vital step in understanding cellular mechanosensing. Microfabricated post array detectors (mPADs) provide direct measurements of cell-generated forces during cell adhesion to extracellular matrix. A new approach to mPAD post labeling, volumetric imaging, and an analysis of post bending mechanics determined that cells apply shear forces and not point moments at the matrix interface. In addition, these forces could be accurately resolved from post deflections by using images of post tops and bases. Image analysis tools were then developed to increase the precision and throughput of post centroid location. These studies resulted in an improved method of force measurement with broad applicability and concise execution using a fully automated force analysis system. The new method measures cell-generated forces with less than 5% error and less than 90 seconds of computational time. Using this approach, we demonstrated direct and distinct relationships between cellular traction force and spread cell surface area for fibroblasts, endothelial cells, epithelial cells and smooth muscle cells.</p>","PeriodicalId":87411,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics & chemistry of biosystems : MCB","volume":"2 1","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1480360/pdf/nihms-5985.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"26032556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This issue is particularly important in the context of inflammation, vascular remodeling, and cancer progression, as each of these processes occurs concurrently with localized increases in strain and marked changes in molecules secreted by adjacent cells. Here, we systematically vary the level and duration of cyclic tensile strain applied to human dermal microvascular and bovine capillary endothelial cells via substrate deflection, and then correlate these cues with the secretion of extracellular matrix-degrading enzymes and a morphological transition from confluent monolayers to well-defined multicellular networks that resemble capillary tube-like structures. For a constant chemical environment, we find that super-physiological mechanical strain stimulates both endothelial cell secretion of latent matrix metalloprotease-2 and multicellular networks in a time- and strain-dependent manner. These results demonstrate coupling between the mechanical and biochemical states of microvascular endothelial cells, and indicate that elevated local stress may directly impact new capillary growth (angiogenesis) toward growing tumors and at capillary wall defect sites.","PeriodicalId":87411,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics & chemistry of biosystems : MCB","volume":"1 4 1","pages":"279-90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70240505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

FAK tends to colocalize with integrin receptors at focal adhesions through its C-terminal focal adhesion targeting (FAT) domain. Through recruitment and binding of intracellular proteins, FAs transduce signals between the intracellular and extracellular regions that regulate a variety of cellular processes including cell migration, proliferation, apoptosis and detachment from the ECM. The mechanism of signaling through the cell is of interest, especially the transmission of mechanical forces and subsequent transduction into biological signals. One hypothesis relates mechanotransduction to conformational changes in intracellular proteins in the force transmission pathway, connecting the extracellular matrix with the cytoskeleton through FAs. To assess this hypothesis, we performed steered molecular dynamics simulations to mechanically unfold FAT and monitor how force-induced changes in the molecular conformation of FAT affect its binding to paxillin.","PeriodicalId":87411,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics & chemistry of biosystems : MCB","volume":"1 4 1","pages":"253-65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70239796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
