Abstract
Polyploid cells contain multiple genome copies and arise in many animal tissues as a regulated part of development. However, polyploid cells can also arise due to cell division failure, DNA damage or tissue damage. Although polyploidization is crucial for the integrity and function of many tissues, the cellular and tissue-wide consequences of polyploidy can be very diverse. Nonetheless, many polyploid cell types and tissues share a remarkable similarity in function, providing important information about the possible contribution of polyploidy to cell and tissue function. Here, we review studies on polyploid cells in development, underlining parallel functions between different polyploid cell types, as well as differences between developmentally-programmed and stress-induced polyploidy.

Abstract
Progression of epithelial cancers predominantly proceeds by collective invasion of cell groups with coordinated cell-cell junctions and multicellular cytoskeletal activity. Collectively invading breast cancer cells express the gap junction protein connexin-43 (Cx43), yet whether Cx43 regulates collective invasion remains unclear. We here show that Cx43 mediates gap-junctional coupling between collectively invading breast cancer cells and, via hemichannels, adenosine nucleotide/nucleoside release into the extracellular space. Using molecular interference and rescue strategies, we identify that Cx43 hemichannel function, but not intercellular communication, induces leader cell activity and collective migration through the engagement of the adenosine receptor 1 (ADORA1) and AKT signaling. Accordingly, pharmacological inhibition of ADORA1 or AKT signaling caused leader cell collapse and halted collective invasion. ADORA1 inhibition further reduced local invasion of orthotopic mammary tumors in vivo, and joint up-regulation of Cx43 and ADORA1 in breast cancer patients correlated with decreased relapse-free survival. This identifies autocrine purinergic signaling, through Cx43 hemichannels, as a critical pathway in leader cell function and collective invasion.

Abstract
Diffuse brain invasion by glioma cells prevents effective surgical or molecular-targeted therapy and underlies a detrimental outcome. Migrating glioma cells are guided by complex anatomical brain structures but the exact mechanisms remain poorly defined. To identify adhesion receptor systems and matrix structures supporting glioma cell invasion into brain-like environments we used 2D and 3D organotypic invasion assays in combination with antibody-, peptide- and RNA-based interference. Combined interference with β1 and αV integrins abolished the migration of U-251 and E-98 glioma cells on reconstituted basement membrane; however, invasion into primary brain slices or 3D astrocyte-based scaffolds and migration on astrocyte-deposited matrix was only partly inhibited. Any residual invasion was supported by vascular structures, as well as laminin 511, a central constituent of basement membrane of brain blood vessels. Multi-targeted interference against β1, αV and α6 integrins expressed by U-251 and E-98 cells proved insufficient to achieve complete migration arrest. These data suggest that mechanocoupling by integrins is relatively resistant to antibody- or peptide-based targeting, and cooperates with additional, as yet unidentified adhesion systems in mediating glioma cell invasion in complex brain stroma.
