A planar-polarized MYO6-DOCK7-RAC1 axis promotes tissue fluidification in mammary epithelia

Open access

Preprint — published as 10.1016/j.celrep.2023.113001

Abstract

Tissue fluidification and collective motility are pivotal in regulating embryonic morphogenesis, wound healing and tumor metastasis. These processes frequently require that each cell constituent of a tissue coordinates its migration activity and directed motion through the oriented extension of lamellipodia cell protrusions, promoted by RAC1 activity. While the upstream RAC1 regulators in individual migratory cells or leader cells during invasion or wound healing are well characterized, how RAC1 is controlled in follower cells remains unknown. Here, we identify a novel MYO6-DOCK7 axis that is critical for spatially restriction of RAC1 activity in a planar polarized fashion in model tissue monolayers. The MYO6-DOCK7 axis specifically controls the extension of cryptic lamellipodia required to drive tissue fluidification and cooperative mode motion in otherwise solid and static carcinoma cell collectives. Highlights: Collective motion of jammed epithelia requires myosin VI activity The MYO6-DOCK7 axis is critical to restrict the activity of RAC1 in a planar polarized fashion MYO6-DOCK7-RAC1 activation ensures long-range coordination of movements by promoting orientation and persistence of cryptic lamellipodia Myosin VI overexpression is exploited by infiltrating breast cancer cells

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
