text: Eukaryotic cells migrate by coupling the intracellular force of the actin
cytoskeleton to the environment. While force coupling is usually mediated by transmembrane
adhesion receptors, especially those of the integrin family, amoeboid cells such
as leukocytes can migrate extremely fast despite very low adhesive forces1. Here
we show that leukocytes cannot only migrate under low adhesion but can also transmit
forces in the complete absence of transmembrane force coupling. When confined
within three-dimensional environments, they use the topographical features of
the substrate to propel themselves. Here the retrograde flow of the actin cytoskeleton
follows the texture of the substrate, creating retrograde shear forces that are
sufficient to drive the cell body forwards. Notably, adhesion-dependent and adhesion-independent
migration are not mutually exclusive, but rather are variants of the same principle
of coupling retrograde actin flow to the environment and thus can potentially
operate interchangeably and simultaneously. As adhesion-free migration is independent
of the chemical composition of the environment, it renders cells completely autonomous
in their locomotive behaviour.

text: A two-dimensional mathematical model for cells migrating without adhesion
capabilities is presented and analyzed. Cells are represented by their cortex,
which is modeled as an elastic curve, subject to an internal pressure force. Net
polymerization or depolymerization in the cortex is modeled via local addition
or removal of material, driving a cortical flow. The model takes the form of a
fully nonlinear degenerate parabolic system. An existence analysis is carried
out by adapting ideas from the theory of gradient flows. Numerical simulations
show that these simple rules can account for the behavior observed in experiments,
suggesting a possible mechanical mechanism for adhesion-independent motility.

text: The release of IgM is the first line of an antibody response and precedes
the generation of high affinity IgG in germinal centers. Once secreted by freshly
activated plasmablasts, IgM is released into the efferent lymph of reactive lymph
nodes as early as 3 d after immunization. As pentameric IgM has an enormous size
of 1,000 kD, its diffusibility is low, and one might wonder how it can pass through
the densely lymphocyte-packed environment of a lymph node parenchyma in order
to reach its exit. In this issue of JEM, Thierry et al. show that, in order to
reach the blood stream, IgM molecules take a specific micro-anatomical route via
lymph node conduits.

text: Cells migrating in multicellular organisms steadily traverse complex three-dimensional
(3D) environments. To decipher the underlying cell biology, current experimental
setups either use simplified 2D, tissue-mimetic 3D (e.g., collagen matrices) or
in vivo environments. While only in vivo experiments are truly physiological,
they do not allow for precise manipulation of environmental parameters. 2D in
vitro experiments do allow mechanical and chemical manipulations, but increasing
evidence demonstrates substantial differences of migratory mechanisms in 2D and
3D. Here, we describe simple, robust, and versatile “pillar forests” to investigate
cell migration in complex but fully controllable 3D environments. Pillar forests
are polydimethylsiloxane-based setups, in which two closely adjacent surfaces
are interconnected by arrays of micrometer-sized pillars. Changing the pillar
shape, size, height and the inter-pillar distance precisely manipulates microenvironmental
parameters (e.g., pore sizes, micro-geometry, micro-topology), while being easily
combined with chemotactic cues, surface coatings, diverse cell types and advanced
imaging techniques. Thus, pillar forests combine the advantages of 2D cell migration
assays with the precise definition of 3D environmental parameters.

text: Navigation of cells along gradients of guidance cues is a determining step
in many developmental and immunological processes. Gradients can either be soluble
or immobilized to tissues as demonstrated for the haptotactic migration of dendritic
cells (DCs) toward higher concentrations of immobilized chemokine CCL21. To elucidate
how gradient characteristics govern cellular response patterns, we here introduce
an in vitro system allowing to track migratory responses of DCs to precisely controlled
immobilized gradients of CCL21. We find that haptotactic sensing depends on the
absolute CCL21 concentration and local steepness of the gradient, consistent with
a scenario where DC directionality is governed by the signal-to-noise ratio of
CCL21 binding to the receptor CCR7. We find that the conditions for optimal DC
guidance are perfectly provided by the CCL21 gradients we measure in vivo. Furthermore,
we find that CCR7 signal termination by the G-protein-coupled receptor kinase
6 (GRK6) is crucial for haptotactic but dispensable for chemotactic CCL21 gradient
sensing in vitro and confirm those observations in vivo. These findings suggest
that stable, tissue-bound CCL21 gradients as sustainable “roads” ensure optimal
guidance in vivo.

text: The actomyosin ring generates force to ingress the cytokinetic cleavage furrow
in animal cells, yet its filament organization and the mechanism of contractility
is not well understood. We quantified actin filament order in human cells using
fluorescence polarization microscopy and found that cleavage furrow ingression
initiates by contraction of an equatorial actin network with randomly oriented
filaments. The network subsequently gradually reoriented actin filaments along
the cell equator. This strictly depended on myosin II activity, suggesting local
network reorganization by mechanical forces. Cortical laser microsurgery revealed
that during cytokinesis progression, mechanical tension increased substantially
along the direction of the cell equator, while the network contracted laterally
along the pole-to-pole axis without a detectable increase in tension. Our data
suggest that an asymmetric increase in cortical tension promotes filament reorientation
along the cytokinetic cleavage furrow, which might have implications for diverse
other biological processes involving actomyosin rings.

text: Most migrating cells extrude their front by the force of actin polymerization.
Polymerization requires an initial nucleation step, which is mediated by factors
establishing either parallel filaments in the case of filopodia or branched filaments
that form the branched lamellipodial network. Branches are considered essential
for regular cell motility and are initiated by the Arp2/3 complex, which in turn
is activated by nucleation-promoting factors of the WASP and WAVE families. Here
we employed rapid amoeboid crawling leukocytes and found that deletion of the
WAVE complex eliminated actin branching and thus lamellipodia formation. The cells
were left with parallel filaments at the leading edge, which translated, depending
on the differentiation status of the cell, into a unipolar pointed cell shape
or cells with multiple filopodia. Remarkably, unipolar cells migrated with increased
speed and enormous directional persistence, while they were unable to turn towards
chemotactic gradients. Cells with multiple filopodia retained chemotactic activity
but their migration was progressively impaired with increasing geometrical complexity
of the extracellular environment. These findings establish that diversified leading
edge protrusions serve as explorative structures while they slow down actual locomotion.
