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.
