bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology
|February 27, 2026
Resumen
El estiramiento de la envoltura nuclear durante la migración celular afecta el transporte. Nuestro modelo predice cómo la nanotopografía influye en la mecánica nuclear y el transporte, crucial para la mecanomedicina.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología celular
- Biofísica
- Mecano biología
Sus antecedentes:
- El estiramiento y la ruptura de la envoltura nuclear ocurren durante la migración celular, alterando el transporte nucleocitoplasmático.
- Predecir las respuestas celulares a las señales mecanoquímicas transmitidas al núcleo es un desafío.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Desarrollar un marco de modelado predictivo para la deformación nuclear en sustratos nanotopográficos.
- Examinar la influencia de la deformación nuclear en el transporte nucleocitoplasmático y la reorganización de la lámina nuclear.
Principales métodos:
- Simulaciones de elementos finitos de la compresión nuclear por el casquete de actina perinuclear en sustratos de nanopilares.
- Modelado de la envoltura nuclear como una estructura elástica no lineal acoplada a la remodelación de la lámina y el transporte nucleocitoplasmático.
- Modelado bioquímico del transporte de YAP/TAZ y la remodelación de la lámina.
Principales resultados:
- Las simulaciones predijeron un alto estiramiento de la envoltura nuclear cerca de los contactos de nanopilares celulares, maximizando el estrés laminar en matrices de nanopilares específicas.
- El aumento de la compresión nuclear promovió la localización nuclear de YAP/TAZ.
- La carga de fuerza por laminina se maximizó en sustratos de nanopilares con alto estiramiento nuclear, modulada por la tasa de ensamblaje de actina y los niveles de lamin A/C.
Conclusiones:
- La disminución del contenido de laminina aumenta la probabilidad de ruptura de la envoltura nuclear.
- El transporte de laminina y la nanotopografía del microambiente son críticos para la mecanotransducción nuclear.
- El estudio valida predicciones experimentalmente, destacando la importancia de la mecánica nuclear en la respuesta celular a los microambientes.

Disassembly of Intermediate Filaments
2.7K
Intermediate filaments (IFs) do not undergo spontaneous disassembly. Enzymes, kinases, and phosphatases add and remove phosphates from specific sites to regulate their disassembly. The IF concentration in the cytoplasm also regulates the disassembly. If the concentration crosses a threshold, it activates the protein kinases in the vicinity, allowing the phosphorylation of IFs.

Nucleosome Remodeling
11.4K
Nucleosomes are the basic units of chromatin compaction. Each nucleosome consists of the DNA bound tightly around a histone core, which makes the DNA inaccessible to DNA binding proteins such as DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase. Hence, the fundamental problem is to ensure access to DNA when appropriate, despite the compact and protective chromatin structure.

Mechanism of Lamellipodia Formation
3.8K
Cells migrating in response to external stimuli form lamellipodia, which are thin membrane protrusions supported by a mesh of linked, branched, or unbranched actin filaments. These actin filaments interact with myosin motor proteins, creating the dynamic actomyosin complex within the cytoskeleton. Contractility, or the ability to generate contractile stress, is inherent to the actomyosin complex. It helps cells detect the stiffness of the surrounding ECM and exert contractile force for...

Cell-matrix's Response to Mechanical Forces
3.7K
In animal cells, the extracellular matrix allows cells within tissues to withstand external stresses and transmits signals from the outside of the cell to the inside. The extracellular matrix is extensive, and its composition varies between different types of tissues. For example, the reticular fibers and ground substance make up the ECM in loose connective tissue, while collagen and bone minerals make up the ECM of bone tissue.

Assembly of Cytoskeletal Filaments
28.0K
Cytoskeletal filaments are polymeric forms of smaller protein subunits. However, individual cytoskeletal filaments may easily disassemble or associate with other similar filaments to form rigid structures. Microfilaments, made of actin monomers, rely on actin-binding proteins to form bundles and create networks of individual actin filaments. Microtubules rely on microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) to form sturdy cylindrical structures. However, the proteins involved in forming complex...

Adaptability of Cytoskeletal Filaments
6.2K
The cytoskeleton is a complex dynamic structure performing varied functions based on cellular requirements. The adaptability of the individual filaments in the cytoskeleton determines their ability to perform various functions within the cell. It can undergo rapid reorganization during processes like cell division or remain stable for several hours as in the interphase. The adaptability of these filaments depends on stringent regulatory mechanisms. The microfilament and microtubules of the...
