受细胞活动或外加应力影响的组织的顶点模型不稳定性

Vertex model instabilities for tissues subject to cellular activity or applied stresses

Fernanda Perez-Verdugo, Jean-Francois Joanny, Rodrigo Soto

摘要:

顶点模型由于其简单、通用和直接包含生物物理参数而被广泛用于描述上皮组织的动力学。在这里,它示出,相当一般地,当细胞修改它们的平衡周长,由于它们的活动,或组织受到外部应力,组织变得不稳定的变形,耦合纯剪切或偏模式,旋转和扩张模式。对于短时间,这些不稳定性使细胞变形,增加其椭圆率,而在较长时间,细胞变得非凸,表明顶点模型不再是这些条件下组织的有效描述。由于在长波长下组织的均匀化,对正六边形组织进行的分析计算与对无序组织的模拟之间的一致性是极好的。

英文摘要:

The vertex model is widely used to describe the dynamics of epithelial tissues, because of its simplicity and versatility and the direct inclusion of biophysical parameters. Here, it is shown that quite generally, when cells modify their equilibrium perimeter due to their activity, or the tissue is subject to external stresses, the tissue becomes unstable with deformations that couple pure-shear or deviatoric modes, with rotation and expansion modes. For short times, these instabilities deform cells increasing their ellipticity while, at longer times, cells become non-convex, indicating that the vertex model ceases to be a valid description for tissues under these conditions. The agreement between the analytic calculations performed for a regular hexagonal tissue and the simulations of disordered tissues is excellent due to the homogenization of the tissue at long wavelengths.
