text: 'When crawling through the body, leukocytes often traverse tissues that are
densely packed with extracellular matrix and other cells, and this raises the
question: How do leukocytes overcome compressive mechanical loads? Here, we show
that the actin cortex of leukocytes is mechanoresponsive and that this responsiveness
requires neither force sensing via the nucleus nor adhesive interactions with
a substrate. Upon global compression of the cell body as well as local indentation
of the plasma membrane, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASp) assembles into
dot-like structures, providing activation platforms for Arp2/3 nucleated actin
patches. These patches locally push against the external load, which can be obstructing
collagen fibers or other cells, and thereby create space to facilitate forward
locomotion. We show in vitro and in vivo that this WASp function is rate limiting
for ameboid leukocyte migration in dense but not in loose environments and is
required for trafficking through diverse tissues such as skin and lymph nodes.'

text: 'Lymph nodes (LNs) comprise two main structural elements: fibroblastic reticular
cells that form dedicated niches for immune cell interaction and capsular fibroblasts
that build a shell around the organ. Immunological challenge causes LNs to increase
more than tenfold in size within a few days. Here, we characterized the biomechanics
of LN swelling on the cellular and organ scale. We identified lymphocyte trapping
by influx and proliferation as drivers of an outward pressure force, causing fibroblastic
reticular cells of the T-zone (TRCs) and their associated conduits to stretch.
After an initial phase of relaxation, TRCs sensed the resulting strain through
cell matrix adhesions, which coordinated local growth and remodeling of the stromal
network. While the expanded TRC network readopted its typical configuration, a
massive fibrotic reaction of the organ capsule set in and countered further organ
expansion. Thus, different fibroblast populations mechanically control LN swelling
in a multitier fashion.'

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: Although much is known about the physiological framework of T cell motility,
and numerous rate-limiting molecules have been identified through loss-of-function
approaches, an integrated functional concept of T cell motility is lacking. Here,
we used in vivo precision morphometry together with analysis of cytoskeletal dynamics
in vitro to deconstruct the basic mechanisms of T cell migration within lymphatic
organs. We show that the contributions of the integrin LFA-1 and the chemokine
receptor CCR7 are complementary rather than positioned in a linear pathway, as
they are during leukocyte extravasation from the blood vasculature. Our data demonstrate
that CCR7 controls cortical actin flows, whereas integrins mediate substrate friction
that is sufficient to drive locomotion in the absence of considerable surface
adhesions and plasma membrane flux.

text: RASGRP1 is an important guanine nucleotide exchange factor and activator of
the RAS-MAPK pathway following T cell antigen receptor (TCR) signaling. The consequences
of RASGRP1 mutations in humans are unknown. In a patient with recurrent bacterial
and viral infections, born to healthy consanguineous parents, we used homozygosity
mapping and exome sequencing to identify a biallelic stop-gain variant in RASGRP1.
This variant segregated perfectly with the disease and has not been reported in
genetic databases. RASGRP1 deficiency was associated in T cells and B cells with
decreased phosphorylation of the extracellular-signal-regulated serine kinase
ERK, which was restored following expression of wild-type RASGRP1. RASGRP1 deficiency
also resulted in defective proliferation, activation and motility of T cells and
B cells. RASGRP1-deficient natural killer (NK) cells exhibited impaired cytotoxicity
with defective granule convergence and actin accumulation. Interaction proteomics
identified the dynein light chain DYNLL1 as interacting with RASGRP1, which links
RASGRP1 to cytoskeletal dynamics. RASGRP1-deficient cells showed decreased activation
of the GTPase RhoA. Treatment with lenalidomide increased RhoA activity and reversed
the migration and activation defects of RASGRP1-deficient lymphocytes.

text: Understanding the regulation of T-cell responses during inflammation and auto-immunity
is fundamental for designing efficient therapeutic strategies against immune diseases.
In this regard, prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2) is mostly considered a myeloid-derived
immunosuppressive molecule. We describe for the first time that T cells secrete
PGE 2 during T-cell receptor stimulation. In addition, we show that autocrine
PGE 2 signaling through EP receptors is essential for optimal CD4 + T-cell activation
in vitro and in vivo, and for T helper 1 (Th1) and regulatory T cell differentiation.
PGE 2 was found to provide additive co-stimulatory signaling through AKT activation.
Intravital multiphoton microscopy showed that triggering EP receptors in T cells
is also essential for the stability of T cell-dendritic cell (DC) interactions
and Th-cell accumulation in draining lymph nodes (LNs) during inflammation. We
further demonstrated that blocking EP receptors in T cells during the initial
phase of collagen-induced arthritis in mice resulted in a reduction of clinical
arthritis. This could be attributable to defective T-cell activation, accompanied
by a decline in activated and interferon-γ-producing CD4 + Th1 cells in draining
LNs. In conclusion, we prove that T lymphocytes secret picomolar concentrations
of PGE 2, which in turn provide additive co-stimulatory signaling, enabling T
cells to attain a favorable activation threshold. PGE 2 signaling in T cells is
also required for maintaining long and stable interactions with DCs within LNs.
Blockade of EP receptors in vivo impairs T-cell activation and development of
T cell-mediated inflammatory responses. This may have implications in various
pathophysiological settings.
