Density maps to study the role of endomembrane organization in cell function.
Résumé

Many cellular disorders are accompanied by changes in the morphology and positioning of intracellular organelles. Yet, the functional consequences of organelle alterations are often not clear. Organelles are the key feature of eukaryotic cells that constitute to a complex endomembrane system regulating cell homeostasis and function. Systematic studies on the organization and relative positioning of organelles are difficult, because, on the one hand, in vivo approaches are limited by the access of the samples, and on the other hand, in vitro cultured cells display strong morphological cell-to-cell variations. We use a minimal cell culture system based on micropatterning that provides adhesive cues for defined cell spreading and reduced cell-to-cell variations. We combine this controlled cell culture condition with precise quantification of organelle positioning using a density-based imaging approach. We have previously shown that endomembranes reveal a characteristic, well-defined, stable and reproducible organization in micropatterned cells. In this lecture, I will outline the molecular mechanisms by which endomembranes are positioned within cells. I will present how we have recently used our density-based approach on micropatterns to systematically analyze motor proteins that regulate Golgi apparatus positioning. I will also describe emerging tools that allow to precisely and dynamically control positioning of organelles. Finally, I will close my lecture describing new insights about organelle alterations during cancer progression.
