16 3D Cellular Microenvironments: Analysis of Cell Migration The nucleus is 5-10x stiffer than the surounding cytoskeleton The nucleus is the limiting factor for cell migration in tissues The nucleus is mechanically stabilized by a network of structural proteins (Lamins) that are connected to the cytoskleleton Enhanced cell migration because of softer nuclei is postulated in: embryogenesis metastasizing cancer cells Nuclear mechanics during cell migration P Friedl, K Wolf, and J Lammerding Current Opinion in Cell Biology 2011, 23:

17 AFM approach to measure the interphase nuclear stiffness in MEF WT and Lamin A (lmna) KO cells MEF lmna knockout (KO) cells have a softer interphase nucleus compared to MEF wildtype (WT) cells. 17

18 Invasion of WT and lmna KO fibroblast into 3D scaffolds on glass MEF lmna KO cells invade to a higher level into the 3D scaffold than MEF WT cells. Thus, cell invasion is dependent on the nuclear stiffness. 18
