Description:
Tissues can be soft like fat, which bears little stress, or stiff like bone, which sustains high stress, but whether there is a systematic relationship between tissue mechanics and differentiation is unknown. Here, proteomics analyses revealed that levels of the nucleoskeletal protein lamin-A scaled with tissue elasticity, E, as did levels of collagens in the extracellular matrix that determine E. Stem cell differentiation into fat on soft matrix was enhanced by low lamin-A levels, whereas differentiation into bone on stiff matrix was enhanced by high lamin-A levels. Matrix stiffness directly influenced lamin-A protein levels, and, although lamin-A transcription was regulated by the vitamin A/retinoic acid (RA) pathway with broad roles in development, nuclear entry of RA receptors was modulated by lamin-A protein. Tissue stiffness and stress thus increase lamin-A levels, which stabilize the nucleus while also contributing to lineage determination.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3976548/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3976548/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Swift, Joe -- Ivanovska, Irena L -- Buxboim, Amnon -- Harada, Takamasa -- Dingal, P C Dave P -- Pinter, Joel -- Pajerowski, J David -- Spinler, Kyle R -- Shin, Jae-Won -- Tewari, Manorama -- Rehfeldt, Florian -- Speicher, David W -- Discher, Dennis E -- 8UL1TR000003/TR/NCATS NIH HHS/ -- CA010815/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- HL038794/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- P01DK032094/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P30-DK090969/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 EB007049/EB/NIBIB NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL062352/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01EB007049/EB/NIBIB NIH HHS/ -- R01HL062352/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 Aug 30;341(6149):1240104. doi: 10.1126/science.1240104.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Molecular and Cell Biophysics Laboratory, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23990565" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
