Targeting Cholesterol-Dependent Piezo1 Activation Impairs Amoeboid Migration in Melanoma Cells

Sylvia Kuang, Alleah G. Abrenica, Neelakshi Kar, Jeremy S. Logue

This paper identifies statins as inhibitors of bleb-based migration in melanoma cells by reducing cholesterol, which disrupts Piezo1 function and impairs migration in confined environments.

Serotonin Receptor Signaling Promotes Amoeboid Migration of Melanoma Cells Through cAMP/PKA Activation

Alleah G. Abrenica, Sylvia Kuang, Neelakshi Kar, Jeremy S. Logue

This study identifies serotonin receptor signaling as a driver of amoeboid melanoma migration through cAMP/PKA activation, showing that DHE inhibits this pathway and reduces metastatic potential.

Locally acting transcription factors are required for p53-dependent cis-regulatory element activity

Allison N. Catizone, Gizem Karsli Uzunbas, Petra Celadova, Sylvia Kuang, Daniel A. Bose, Morgan A. Sammons

The paper investigates how local transcription factors influence p53-bound cis-regulatory elements, showing that co-regulatory factors and sequence context affect CRE activity and gene expression.
