Abstract
Infiltration of new tissue areas requires that a mammalian cell overcomes the physical and biochemical barrier of the surrounding extracellular matrix. Cell migration during embryonic development, and growth, invasion and dispersal of metastatic tumor cells depend to a large extent on the controlled degradation of extracellular matrix components. Localized degradation of the surrounding matrix is seen at defined adhesive (podosomes) and/or protrusive (invadopodia) locations in a variety of normal cells and aggressive carcinoma cells, suggesting that these membrane-associated cellular devices have a central role in mediating polarized migration in cells that cross-tissue boundaries. Here, we will discuss the recent advances and developments in this field, and provide our provisional outlook into the future understanding of the principles of focal extracellular matrix degradation by podosomes and invadopodia.

Abstract
Invasion of cancer cells into surrounding tissue and the vasculature is an initial step in tumor metastasis. This requires chemotactic migration of cancer cells, steered by protrusive activity of the cell membrane and its attachment to the extracellular matrix. Recent advances in intravital imaging and the development of an in vivo invasion assay have provided new insights into how cancer cell migration is regulated by elements of the local microenvironment, including the extracellular matrix architecture and other cell types found in primary tumors. These results, combined with new findings from in vitro studies, have led to new insights into the molecular mechanisms of cell protrusive activity and chemotactic migration during invasion and metastasis.

Abstract
The controlled degradation of extracellular matrix is crucial in physiological and pathological cell invasion alike. In cultured cells, degradation occurs at specific sites where invasive cells make contact with the extracellular matrix via specialized plasma membrane protrusions termed invadopodia. Considerable progress has been made in recent years towards understanding the basic molecular components and the ultrastructural features of invadopodia. This current knowledge will be reviewed here together with some of the most important open questions in invadopodia biology. Considering the substantial interest and momentum in the field, the need for an operational framework to correctly define and identify invadopodia will also be discussed.

Abstract
Activation of protein kinase C by phorbol esters triggers the remodelling of the actin cytoskeleton and the formation of podosomes in smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Regional control of actin dynamics at specialised microdomains results in a local reduction in contractile forces. The molecular basis for this local inhibition of contractility includes the clustering of cortactin during podosome formation (which precedes the rapid, local dispersion of myosin, tropomyosin and h1 calponin), and the specific recruitment of 110-kDa actin filament-associated protein (AFAP-110) and 190-kDa Rho-specific GTPase-activating protein (p190RhoGAP) to the microdomains. Podosome formation also correlates with cell polarisation, the induction of cell motility, and local degradation of the extracellular matrix. These findings may provide explanations for the complex mechanisms underlying SMC invasion in the course of the development of atherosclerotic lesions and restenosis, and support the concept that matrix degradation and the concomitant engagement of the molecular machinery initiating actin-based cell motility drive tissue invasion in smooth muscle.

Abstract
Invadopodia are actin-rich membrane protrusions with a matrix degradation activity formed by invasive cancer cells. We have studied the molecular mechanisms of invadopodium formation in metastatic carcinoma cells. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor kinase inhibitors blocked invadopodium formation in the presence of serum, and EGF stimulation of serum-starved cells induced invadopodium formation. RNA interference and dominant-negative mutant expression analyses revealed that neural WASP (N-WASP), Arp2/3 complex, and their upstream regulators, Nck1, Cdc42, and WIP, are necessary for invadopodium formation. Time-lapse analysis revealed that invadopodia are formed de novo at the cell periphery and their lifetime varies from minutes to several hours. Invadopodia with short lifetimes are motile, whereas long-lived invadopodia tend to be stationary. Interestingly, suppression of cofilin expression by RNA interference inhibited the formation of long-lived invadopodia, resulting in formation of only short-lived invadopodia with less matrix degradation activity. These results indicate that EGF receptor signaling regulates invadopodium formation through the N-WASP-Arp2/3 pathway and cofilin is necessary for the stabilization and maturation of invadopodia.

Abstract
The migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is a principal factor for the development and progression of vascular diseases. In addition, phenotypic alteration from the contractile (differentiated) to the synthetic (dedifferentiated) state and a proteolytic process in the form of extra cellular matrix degradation are necessary for SMC invasion. The actual mechanism leading to the focal degradation of basement membrane matrix components and, hence, SMC migration within the tissue itself is, however, unclear. In response to phorbol ester [phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu)], VSMCs in culture form podosomes, dynamic organelles critical for cell adhesion and substrate degradation that are typically found in invasive cells and cells that cross tissue boundaries. Here, we show that PDBu-stimulated VSMCs resorb the extracellular matrix at the sites of podosomes. Podosome formation correlates with an increased polarization of VSMCs on fibronectin- or collagen-coated flexible substrates in addition to a concomitant induction of cell motility. VSMCs embedded in reconstituted basement membrane support adopt the typical spindle-shaped morphology of differentiated SMCs in vivo and, after PDBu treatment, form peripheral lamellipodia and podosomes around their matrix-contacting surface. Our findings demonstrate that podosome formation is the potential mechanism underlying the ability of VSMCs to traverse the surrounding basement membrane and escape the barrier of the tunica media in vascular diseases.

Abstract
The naturally occurring phosphoinositide metabolite, glycerophosphoinositol 4-phosphate, has recently been shown to induce rearrangements in the actin cytoskeleton through modulation of the small GTPases, Rac and Rho. Since this is directly linked to cell spreading and remodelling, we have evaluated the potential role of glycerophosphoinositol 4-phosphate and related metabolites in tumour cell invasion. The biological effects of these compounds were tested in a number of cellular activities related to cell spreading, including cell migration and cell invasion. We find that unlike other inositol-containing molecules, such as the inositol phosphates, glycerophosphoinositol and glycerophosphoinositol 4-phosphate prevent the invasion of epithelium-derived MDA-MB-231 breast carcinoma and A375MM melanoma cell lines through the extracellular matrix; this is due to a decreased ability to degrade matrix components. These data identify a specific activity of the glycerophosphoinositols that can be exploited for their development as novel anti-invasive drugs.

Abstract
The cell cycle is widely known to be regulated by networks of phosphorylation and ubiquitin-directed proteolysis. Here, we describe IX-14/invadolysin, a novel metalloprotease present only in metazoa, whose activity appears to be essential for mitotic progression. Mitotic neuroblasts of Drosophila melanogaster IX-14 mutant larvae exhibit increased levels of nuclear envelope proteins, monopolar and asymmetric spindles, and chromosomes that appear hypercondensed in length with a surrounding halo of loosely condensed chromatin. Zymography reveals that a protease activity, present in wild-type larval brains, is missing from homozygous tissue, and we show that IX-14/invadolysin cleaves lamin in vitro. The IX-14/invadolysin protein is predominantly found in cytoplasmic structures resembling invadopodia in fly and human cells, but is dramatically relocalized to the leading edge of migrating cells. Strikingly, we find that the directed migration of germ cells is affected in Drosophila IX-14 mutant embryos. Thus, invadolysin identifies a new family of conserved metalloproteases whose activity appears to be essential for the coordination of mitotic progression, but which also plays an unexpected role in cell migration.

Abstract
The combination of the capability of in vivo fluorescence video microscopy with the power of resolution of electron microscopy (EM) has been described. This approach is based on such an association of two techniques. An individual intracellular structure can be monitored in vivo, typically through the use of markers fused with green fluorescent protein (GFP), and a "snapshot" of its three-dimensional (3-D) ultrastructure and especially tomographic reconstruction can then be taken at any chosen time during its life cycle. The pitfalls and potential of this approach are discussed.

Abstract
The integral membrane type 1 matrix metalloprotease (MT1-MMP) is a pivotal protease in a number of physiological and pathological processes and confers both non-tumorigenic and tumorigenic cell lines with a specific growth advantage in a three-dimensional matrix. Here we show that, in a melanoma cell line, the majority (80%) of MT1-MMP is sorted to detergent-resistant membrane fractions; however, it is only the detergent-soluble fraction (20%) of MT1-MMP that undergoes intracellular processing to the mature form. Also, this processed MT1-MMP is the sole form responsible for ECM degradation in vitro. Finally, furin-dependent processing of MT1-MMP is shown to occur intracellularly after exit from the Golgi apparatus and prior to its arrival at the plasma membrane. It is thus proposed that the association of MT1-MMP with different membrane subdomains might be crucial in the control of its different activities: for instance in cell migration and invasion and other less defined ones such as MT1-MMP-dependent signaling pathways.

Abstract
AIM: To detect different expressions of dynamin II between laterally spreading tumor (LST) and SW480 cell line as well as between LST and Lovo cell line.
METHODS: Different expressions were detected using semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. Extraction of total RNA from LST, SW480 and Lovo cell lines, respectively, was performed to synthesize cDNA through reverse transcription. The conditions of PCR were optimized, including annealing temperature, cycle parameters and amount of template. UVI imaging was used to detect the PCR products.
RESULTS: Dynamin II and amplificated segment of beta-actin were 475 bp and 239 bp respectively. The expression of dynamin II in colorectal LST cell line was twifold higher than that in both SW480 and Lovo cell lines. The genetic sequence we gained from targeted gene was the same as the sequence of L36983 and BC016045 in GeneBank.
CONCLUSION: Dynamin II is differently expressed in LST cell line compared with SW480 and Lovo cell lines. It may play an important role in the morphology and cancerogenesis of the tumor.

Abstract
The plasma membrane of many motile cells undergoes highly regulated protrusions and invaginations that support the formation of podosomes, invadopodia and circular dorsal ruffles. Although they are similar in appearance and in their formation--which is mediated by a highly conserved actin-membrane apparatus--these transient surface membrane distortions are distinct. Their function is to help the cell as it migrates, attaches and invades.

Abstract
Dynamin, the large guanosine triphosphatase, is generally considered to have a key role in deforming membranes to create tubules or vesicles. Dynamin, particularly dynamin2 isoforms, also are localized with actin filaments, often at locations where cellular membranes undergo remodeling. Perturbing dynamin function interferes with endocytic traffic and actin function. Thus, dynamin may regulate actin filaments coordinately with its activities that remodel membranes. This review will highlight recent observations that provide clues to mechanisms whereby dynamin might coordinate membrane remodeling and actin filament dynamics during endocytic traffic, cell morphogenesis and cell migration.

Abstract
While recently we have learned much about the viral and cellular proteins involved in the initial attachment of rotaviruses to MA104 cells, the mechanism by which these viruses reach the interior of the cell is poorly understood. For this study, we observed the effects of drugs and of dominant-negative mutants, known to impair clathrin-mediated endocytosis and endocytosis mediated by caveolae, on rotavirus cell infection. Rotaviruses were able to enter cells in the presence of compounds that inhibit clathrin-mediated endocytosis as well as cells overexpressing a dominant-negative form of Eps15, a protein crucial for the assembly of clathrin coats. We also found that rotaviruses infected cells in which caveolar uptake was blocked; treatment with the cholesterol binding agents nystatin and filipin, as well as transfection of cells with dominant-negative caveolin-1 and caveolin-3 mutants, had no effect on rotavirus infection. Interestingly, cells treated with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin, a drug that sequesters cholesterol from membranes, and cells expressing a dominant-negative mutant of the large GTPase dynamin, which is known to function in several membrane scission events, were not infected by rotaviruses, indicating that cholesterol and dynamin play a role in the entry of rotaviruses.

Abstract
The GTPase dynamin controls a variety of endocytic pathways, participates in the formation of phagosomes, podosomal adhesions, and invadopodia, and in regulation of the cytoskeleton and apoptosis. Rac, a member of the Rho family of small GTPases, controls formation of lamellipodia and focal complexes, which are critical in cell migration and phagocytosis. We now show that disruption of dynamin(-2) function alters Rac localization and inhibits cell spreading and lamellipodia formation even though Rac is activated. Dominant-negative K44A dynamin(-2) inhibited cell spreading and lamellipodia formation on fibronectin without blocking cell adhesion; dynamin(-2) depletion by specific small interfering RNA inhibited lamellipodia in a similar manner. Dyn2(K44A) induced Rac mislocalization away from cell edges, into abnormal dorsal ruffles, and led to increased total Rac activity. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer imaging of Rac activity confirmed its predominant localization to aberrant dorsal ruffles in the presence of dominant-negative dyn2(K44A). Dyn2(K44A) induced the accumulation of tubulated structures bearing membrane-bound Rac-GFP. Constitutively active but not wild-type GFP-Rac was found on macropinosomes and Rac-dependent, platelet-derived growth factor-induced macropinocytosis was abolished by Dyn2(K44A) expression. These data suggest an indispensable role of dynamin in Rac trafficking to allow for lamellipodia formation and cell spreading.

Abstract
Podosomes are highly dynamic, actin-rich adhesion structures of monocyte-derived cells, certain transformed fibroblasts and carcinoma cells and have recently also been discovered in an increasing number of other cell types. Because they are found mainly in motile cells and control the activity of matrix metalloproteases, podosomes are thought to contribute to tissue invasion and matrix remodeling. Importantly, podosomes are physiologically relevant organelles because they can be found in ex vivo models of invasive cells. Regulators of podosome turnover include tyrosine kinases, RhoGTPases, actin regulators and the microtubule system. Podosomes might also serve as an attractive model to study how integration of various signaling pathways controls actin dynamics. Here, we summarize and discuss the known structural, regulatory and functional features of podosomes, our aim being to stimulate further research into these unique structures.

Abstract
The mechanisms by which mammalian cells remodel the actin cytoskeleton in response to motogenic stimuli are complex and a topic of intense study. Dynamin 2 (Dyn2) is a large GTPase that interacts directly with several actin binding proteins, including cortactin. In this study, we demonstrate that Dyn2 and cortactin function to mediate dynamic remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton in response to stimulation with the motogenic growth factor platelet-derived growth factor. On stimulation, Dyn2 and cortactin coassemble into large, circular structures on the dorsal cell surface. These "waves" promote an active reorganization of actin filaments in the anterior cytoplasm and function to disassemble actin stress fibers. Importantly, inhibition of Dyn2 and cortactin function potently blocked the formation of waves and subsequent actin reorganization. These findings demonstrate that cortactin and Dyn2 function together in a supramolecular complex that assembles in response to growth factor stimulation and mediates the remodeling of actin to facilitate lamellipodial protrusion at the leading edge of migrating cells.

Abstract
Many important cellular processes such as phagocytosis, cell motility and endocytosis require the participation of a dynamic and interactive actin cytoskeleton that acts to deform cellular membranes. The extensive family of non-traditional myosins has been implicated in linking the cortical actin gel with the plasma membrane. Recently, however, the dynamins have also been included in these cell processes as a second family of mechanochemical enzymes that self-associate and hydrolyze nucleotides to perform 'work' while linking cellular membranes to the actin cytoskeleton. The dynamins are believed to form large helical polymers from which extend many interactive proline-rich tail domains, and these domains bind to a variety of SH3-domain-containing proteins, many of which appear to be actin-binding proteins. Recent data support the concept that the dynamin family might act as a 'polymeric contractile scaffold' at the interface between biological membranes and filamentous actin.
