摘要
Deciphering mechanisms of guided lymphocyte migration paves the way towards effective immunotherapies for the extracellular matrix-rich tissues, such as solid tumors. Here we demonstrate that T cell septins' GTPase activity regulates both actomyosin and microtubules, alternately enhancing either of these two major motor systems. Surprisingly, the suppression of septin GTPase activity also induces a highly guided integrin-dependent mesenchymal-like migration directed by the extracellular matrix proteins. The phenomenon of guided mesenchymal-like migration of T cells relies on the microtubules and microtubule-based dynein motors that are responsible for the force generation, powering guided T cell motility. This finding opens a new perspective for future studies of septin GTPases in a context of the optimisation of T cell-based immunotherapies for the solid tissues.
