Dissecting the Mechanical Control of Mitotic Entry Using a Cell Confinement Setup.
Proliferating cells need to cope with extensive cytoskeletal and nuclear remodeling as they prepare to divide. These events are tightly regulated by the nuclear translocation of the cyclin B1-CDK1 complex, that is partly dependent on nuclear tension. Standard experimental approaches do not allow the manipulation of forces acting on cells in a time-resolved manner. Here, we describe a protocol that enables dynamic mechanical manipulation of single cells with high spatial and temporal resolution and its application in the context of cell division. In addition, we also outline a method for the manipulation of substrate stiffness using polyacrylamide hydrogels. Finally, we describe a static cell confinement setup, which can be used to study the impact of prolonged mechanical stimulation in populations of cells. Key features • Protocol for microfabrication of confinement devices. • Single-cell dynamic confinement coupled with high-resolution microscopy. • Static cell confinement protocol that can be combined with super-resolution STED microscopy. • Analysis of the mechanical control of mitotic entry in a time-resolved manner.
