Abstract excerpt
Release of transcellular tension upon disruption of actin stress fibers with cytochalasin D (CD) and associated changes in cell morphology are reflected in the rapid transcription of "deformation-responsive" genes. For certain genes (e.g., urokinase plasminogen activator and its type-1 inhibitor PAI-1), de novo mRNA synthesis appears to require cell shape-dependent activation of the MAP kinases ERK1/2. ERK...
