Project Summary There is keen interest in identifying the biochemical pathways that promote tumor intracerebral infiltration since members of these pathways serve as potential therapeutic targets. Unfortunately, the spatiotemporal nature of these pathways renders the application of conventional tools (over/under-expression of the proteins of interest, inhibitory compounds, etc.) inadequate for studying dynamic cell behavior. We seek to engineer and evaluate optogenetic analogs of cofilin, cofilin’s upstream activators (slingshot and chronophin), and cofilin’s upstream negative regulators (LIM protein kinase, the cAMP-dependent protein kinase, the p21 activated protein kinase, and rho-associated protein kinase). These species offer a means to correlate spatially-focused biochemical activity with dynamic cellular behavior including F-actin remodeling activity as well as migratory and invasive aptitudes.

项目摘要 人们对识别促进肿瘤脑内浸润的生化途径的兴趣浓厚 这些途径的成员是潜在的治疗靶标。不幸的是，时空性质 这些途径使常规工具的应用（过度/低表达感兴趣的蛋白质， 抑制性化合物等不足以研究动态细胞行为。我们寻求设计和评估 Cofilin，Cofilin上游激活剂（弹弓和月球）的光遗传学类似物以及Cofilin的上游 阴性调节剂（LIM蛋白激酶，CAMP依赖性蛋白激酶，P21激活蛋白激酶， 和Rho相关的蛋白激酶）。这些物种提供了一种相关的方法 具有动态细胞行为的活性，包括F-肌动蛋白重塑活性以及迁移和侵入性 才能。
