Abstract
The mechanical properties of cells and tissues help determine their architecture, composition and function. Alterations to these properties are associated with many diseases, including cancer. Tensional, compressive, adhesive, elastic and viscous properties of individual cells and multicellular tissues are mostly regulated by reorganization of the actomyosin and microtubule cytoskeletons and extracellular glycocalyx, which in turn drive many pathophysiological processes, including cancer progression. This Review provides an in-depth collection of quantitative data on diverse mechanical properties of living human cancer cells and tissues. Additionally, the implications of mechanical property changes for cancer development are discussed. An increased knowledge of the mechanical properties of the tumour microenvironment, as collected using biomechanical approaches capable of multi-timescale and multiparametric analyses, will provide a better understanding of the complex mechanical determinants of cancer organization and progression. This information can lead to a further understanding of resistance mechanisms to chemotherapies and immunotherapies and the metastatic cascade.

Abstract
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a popular tool for evaluating the mechanical properties of biological materials (cells and tissues) at high resolution. This technique has become particularly attractive to cancer researchers seeking to bridge the gap between mechanobiology and cancer initiation, progression, and treatment resistance. The majority of AFM studies thus far have been extensively focused on the nanomechanical characterization of cells. However, these approaches fail to capture the complex and heterogeneous nature of a tumor and its host organ. Over the past decade, efforts have been made to characterize the mechanical properties of tumors and tumor-bearing tissues using AFM. This has led to novel insights regarding cancer mechanopathology at the tissue scale. In this Review, we first explain the principles of AFM nanoindentation for the general study of tissue mechanics. We next discuss key considerations when using this technique and preparing tissue samples for analysis. We then examine AFM application in characterizing the mechanical properties of cancer tissues. Finally, we provide an outlook on AFM in the field of cancer mechanobiology and its application in the clinic.

Abstract
Aim: The low-density lipoprotein receptor gene (LDLR) family plays a fundamental role in many malignancies and may have a putative cancer-boosting function. In our study, we have attempted to comparatively investigate the differential gene expressions of LDLR family in normal prostate epithelial cell line (RWPE-1), prostate cancer cell line (DU145 cell line), prostate cancer stem cells (DU145 CSCs) and non-CSCs (DU145 non-CSCs, bulk population).
Materials and Methods: Cancer stem cells in DU-145 prostate cancer cell line were isolated by flow cytometry according to CD133 and CD44 cell surface properties. Whole transcriptome sequencing data was comprehensively analyzed for each group. The protein-protein interaction network was determined using the STRING protein database.
Results: Our data showed that the expression levels of LRP1, LRP3, LRP8 and LRP11 were increased in the DU145 CSCs relative to the normal prostate epithelial cell line.
Conclusion: Overall, our data suggest that the LRP functions and/or the expression in prostate cancer may ultimately change the invasive phenotype of the CSCs.

Abstract
The interaction between cells and colloids is an important characteristic that influences cell behavior. Theoretically, much information could be revealed by analyzing the interactions in colloid–cell contact. In this study, in order to explore the interaction between cells and colloids, we developed a novel computational method able to obtain a zeta potential directly calculated from the force distance curve and apply to adhesion analysis, which used atomic force microscope (AFM), based on DLVO (Deryaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek) theory and Mann Whitney U test, and combined with Zetasizer measurement. The calculation and analysis of [Formula: see text] of the cell surfaces of ncyc-1324 yeast, ncyc-1681 yeast and Pseudomonas fluorescens showed that pH affected the electrostatic distribution on the cell surface. Compared with the previous research methods, this method significantly reduces the computation and manual control, which is an effective method for multi-element surface analysis and comparison. For example, the reverse calculation and curve fitting method will significantly request more computation and manual control to set up the reference force curve that simulated with set zeta potential, while this method only need to calculate on one force curve. The deconvolution of different adhesion events from force curves showed that the heterogeneity of cell surface can be significantly displayed. This provides a method for determining the complexity of the cell surface. Furthermore, this method was used to study the effect of amoxicillin on cell surface interaction, which showed that the cells surface forces were influenced even the medicine concentration is not enough to make significant influence on microbials optical observation appearance. Thus, AFM force analysis is a more sensitive method to research the medicine influence compared to the traditional method.

Abstract
Increasing attention is devoted to the use of nanomechanics as a marker of various pathologies. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is one of the techniques that could be applied to quantify the nanomechanical properties of living cells with a high spatial resolution. Thus, AFM offers the possibility to trace changes in the reorganization of the cytoskeleton in living cells. Impairments in the structure, organization, and functioning of two main cytoskeletal components, namely, actin filaments and microtubules, cause severe effects, leading to cell death. That is why these cytoskeletal components are targets for antitumor therapy. This review intends to describe the gathered knowledge on the capability of AFM to trace the alterations in the nanomechanical properties of living cells induced by the action of antitumor drugs that could translate into their effectiveness.

Abstract
Low density lipoprotein receptor related protein-1 (LRP-1) is a large ubiquitous endocytic receptor mediating the clearance of various molecules from the extracellular matrix. Several studies have shown that LRP-1 plays crucial roles during tumorigenesis functioning as a main signal pathway regulator, especially by interacting with other cell-surface receptors. Discoïdin Domain Receptors (DDRs), type I collagen receptors with tyrosine kinase activity, have previously been associated with tumor invasion and aggressiveness in diverse tumor environments. Here, we addressed whether it could exist functional interplays between LRP-1 and DDR1 to control colon carcinoma cell behavior in three-dimensional (3D) collagen matrices. We found that LRP-1 established tight molecular connections with DDR1 at the plasma membrane in colon cancer cells. In this tumor context, we provide evidence that LRP-1 regulates by endocytosis the cell surface levels of DDR1 expression. The LRP-1 mediated endocytosis of DDR1 increased cell proliferation by promoting cell cycle progression into S phase and decreasing apoptosis. In this study, we identified a new molecular way that controls the cell-surface expression of DDR1 and consequently the colon carcinoma cell proliferation and apoptosis and highlighted an additional mechanism by which LRP-1 carries out its sensor activity of the tumor microenvironment.

Abstract
A method was developed to characterize the adhesion properties of single cells by using protein-functionalized atomic force microscopy (AFM) probes. The quantification by force spectroscopy of the mean detachment force between cells and a gelatin-functionalized colloidal tip reveals differences in cell adhesion properties that are not within reach of a traditional bulk technique, the washing assay. In this latter method, experiments yield semiquantitative and average adhesion properties of a large population of cells. They are also limited to stringent conditions and cannot highlight disparities in adhesion in the subset of adherent cells. In contrast, this AFM-based method allows for a reproducible and quantitative investigation of the adhesive properties of individual cells in common cell culture conditions and allows for the detection of adhesive subpopulations of cells. These characteristics meet the critical requirements of many fields, such as the study of cancer cell migratory abilities.

Abstract
Atomic force microscope (AFM) based single molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) is a valuable tool in biophysics to investigate the ligand-receptor interactions, cell adhesion and cell mechanics. However, the force spectroscopy data analysis needs to be done carefully to extract the required quantitative parameters correctly. Especially the large number of molecules, commonly involved in complex networks formation; leads to very complicated force spectroscopy curves. One therefore, generally characterizes the total dissipated energy over a whole pulling cycle, as it is difficult to decompose the complex force curves into individual single molecule events. However, calculating the energy dissipation directly from the transformed force spectroscopy curves can lead to a significant over-estimation of the dissipated energy during a pulling experiment. The over-estimation of dissipated energy arises from the finite stiffness of the cantilever used for AFM based SMFS. Although this error can be significant, it is generally not compensated for. This can lead to significant misinterpretation of the energy dissipation (up to the order of 30%). In this paper, we show how in complex SMFS the excess dissipated energy caused by the stiffness of the cantilever can be identified and corrected using a high throughput algorithm. This algorithm is then applied to experimental results from molecular networks and cell-adhesion measurements to quantify the improvement in the estimation of the total energy dissipation.

Abstract
LRP-1 is a large endocytic receptor mediating the clearance of various molecules from the extracellular matrix. LRP-1 was reported to control focal adhesion turnover to optimize the adhesion-deadhesion balance to support invasion. To better understand how LRP-1 coordinates cell-extracellular matrix interface, we explored its ability to regulate cell surface integrins in thyroid carcinomas. Using an antibody approach, we demonstrated that β1-integrin levels were increased at the plasma membrane under LRP1 silencing or upon RAP treatment, used as LRP-1 antagonist. Our data revealed that LRP-1 binds with both inactive and active β1-integrin conformations and identified the extracellular ligand-binding domains II or IV of LRP-1 as sufficient to bind β1-integrin. Using a recombinant β1-integrin, we demonstrated that LRP-1 acts as a regulator of β1-integrin intracellular traffic. Moreover, RAP or LRP-1 blocking antibodies decreased up to 36% the number of β1-integrin-containing endosomes. LRP-1 blockade did not significantly affect the levels of β1-integrin-containing lysosomes while decreasing localization of β1-integrin within Rab-11 positive vesicles. Overall, we identified an original molecular process in which LRP-1 acts as a main regulator of β1-integrin internalization and recycling in thyroid cancer cells.
