Yet, how tissue tension elongates mitotic cells despite those cells undergoing mitotic rounding (MR) by globally upregulating cortical actomyosin tension remains unclear. We addressed this question by taking advantage of ascidian embryos, consisting of a small number of interphasic and mitotic blastomeres and displaying an invariant division pattern. We found that blastomeres undergo MR by locally relaxing cortical tension at their apex, thereby allowing extrinsic pulling forces from neighboring interphasic blastomeres to polarize their shape and thus division orientation. Consistently, interfering with extrinsic forces by reducing the contractility of interphasic blastomeres or disrupting the establishment of asynchronous mitotic domains leads to aberrant mitotic cell division orientations. Thus, apical relaxation during MR constitutes a key mechanism by which tissue tension anisotropy controls stereotypical cell division orientation."}],"department":[{"_id":"CaHe"}],"volume":55,"intvolume":"        55","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"Bio"},{"_id":"NanoFab"}],"year":"2020","isi":1,"acknowledgement":"We thank members of the Heisenberg and McDougall groups for technical advice and discussion, Hitoyoshi Yasuo for sharing lab equipment, Lucas Leclère and Hitoyoshi Yasuo for their comments on a preliminary version of the manuscript, and Philippe Dru for the Rose plots.
