Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
We examined the influence of extracellular bioactive factors derived from the culture supernatant of wildtype NIH/3T3 cells on the migratory capacities of primary cilium-deficient NIH/3T3-Kif3a-KO cells after wounding. The factors derived from the culture supernatant of wildtype NIH/3T3 cells increased the rate of cell migration in target cells compared to the factors derived from the culture supernatant of primary cilium-deficient NIH/3T3-Kif3a-KO cells. Additionally, through omics analysis of the supernatants, we identified a specific molecular constituent exhibiting elevated concentrations in the culture supernatant of primary cilium-deficient cells. These findings suggest that fibroblasts regulate the cellular migration in primary cilium-deficient target cells by humoral bioactive factors in a primary cilium-dependent manner.
