Hypoxia Modulates Membrane Mechanics in Pancreatic Cancer.
Aggressive cancer cells such as pancreatic cells exhibit an enhanced metastatic phenotype that involves cell migration and invasion. Cellular membrane deformation is a key process implicit in cell movement. This implicates a link between altered lipid metabolism during cancer progression and modulated membrane properties and hence associated functions. One of the key factors underlying the aggressiveness of pancreatic cancer is the presence of the highest percentage of hypoxia, which further adds to the lipid metabolic reprogramming. The subsequent effect of hypoxia-induced lipidome changes on membrane properties governing cell movement was investigated in this work using a combination of cell biology, microscopy, and spectroscopy. Our findings revealed that hypoxia induces distinct lipidome signatures in a cell-line-dependent fashion, which in turn differentially modulates the cell membrane stiffness. The correlation of cell stiffness with other membrane properties and the actin cytoskeleton shows a random correlation indicating that hypoxic stress distinctly regulates specific membrane attributes governing cellular functioning and should be consulted for the development of effective treatments for pancreatic cancer.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Membrane Biology is dedicated to publishing high-quality science related to membrane biology, biochemistry and biophysics. In particular, we welcome work that uses modern experimental or computational methods including but not limited to those with microscopy, diffraction, NMR, computer simulations, or biochemistry aimed at membrane associated or membrane embedded proteins or model membrane systems. These methods might be applied to study topics like membrane protein structure and function, membrane mediated or controlled signaling mechanisms, cell-cell communication via gap junctions, the behavior of proteins and lipids based on monolayer or bilayer systems, or genetic and regulatory mechanisms controlling membrane function.
Research articles, short communications and reviews are all welcome. We also encourage authors to consider publishing ''negative'' results where experiments or simulations were well performed, but resulted in unusual or unexpected outcomes without obvious explanations.
While we welcome connections to clinical studies, submissions that are primarily clinical in nature or that fail to make connections to the basic science issues of membrane structure, chemistry and function, are not appropriate for the journal. In a similar way, studies that are primarily descriptive and narratives of assays in a clinical or population study are best published in other journals. If you are not certain, it is entirely appropriate to write to us to inquire if your study is a good fit for the journal.
