doi: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2026.102786

Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic summary of the Piezo1/calcium/CaN-SSH/cofilin/filopodia formation pathway for substrate stiffness-induced cancer cell migration. Stiff matrix downregulates the expression of Piezo1 channel, which limits the [Ca 2+ ] i rise and the activity of CaN-SSH. Consequently, cofilin is phosphorylated and inactivated and thereby loses its potential to bind to and sever actin filaments, facilitates filopodia formation, and thereby promote cancer cell migration.

Figure Lengend Snippet: PIEZO1 expression in sEV and cellular lysate. Representative Western blot revealing PIEZO1 in sEV derived from myoblasts (A), and myotubes (B). Note that the pharmacological activation of PIEZO1 by Yoda1 increases the protein expression only in sEV derived from myotubes. PIEZO1 was also detected in myoblast (C) and myotube lysate (D), and its expression is significantly increased by treatment Yoda1 both in myoblasts (yMB, 3 replicates each, unpaired t‐test) and myotubes (yMT, 3 replicates each, unpaired t‐test) as compared to the corresponding controls (cMB and cMT).

Article Title: PIEZO1 Channels Modulate the Small Extracellular Vesicle Release in C2C12 Cells

doi: 10.1002/jcp.70155

Figure Lengend Snippet: Hypothetical mechanism of sEV release controlled by PIEZO1 activity. (A) sEV are a heterogeneous population of vesicles made of exosomes and ectosomes. Since PIEZO1 is mostly located at the plasma membrane, which is where ectosomes originate through plasmalemma budding, they are more likely to contain the mechanically‐activated protein compared to exosomes. (B) In myoblasts, pharmacological stimulation of PIEZO1 with Yoda1 promotes myotube formation by altering the cargo, without affecting the extent of the release. (C) In myotubes, Yoda1 enhances sEV release and alters their cargo. The increased presence of PIEZO1 in Yoda1‐induced sEV in myotubes suggests a prevalent effect of Yoda1 in promoting ectosome than exosome release. The cartoon also shows the greatest effect on myotube formation of sEV delivered by Yoda1‐treated myotubes (Created in BioRender. Bernareggi (2026) https://BioRender.com/hmpy402 ).
