Rho-GTP activates ROCK, which in turn activates myosin ROCK (a serine-threonine kinase) activates MLC directly (ser 19 phosphorylation) and also inhibits MBS (through phosphorylation) (phosphorylation of myosin high ATPase activity) Autoinhibition again !

Cell Migration in 3D In 3D collagen and in granulation tissues in vivo, fibroblast migration occurs in the absence of actin stress fiber formation, .. and instead exhibits a diffuse cortical F-actin distribution over the entire cell body Welsh et al., J Cell Biol, 1990, 110, 133 Grinnell, J Cell Biol, 1994, 124, 4, 401
Tumor invasion in vitro and in vivo involves the proteolytic degradation of ECM barriers • However, after blocking of MMPs or serine proteases, significant residual migration of individual cells is observed in different migration models • In vivo, protease inhibitor–based targeting of MMPs and serine proteases has yielded an unexpectedly weak benefit in some animal tumor models as well as clinical trials in humans, suggesting that a principal dissemination capacity remained intact What has happened?

Comments/Questions: • Does the mesenchymal to amoeboid transition occur • on 2D? • 2. Amoeboid, really? • 3. Concerns about co-injection experiment • 4. The signaling mechanisms
