The role of myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) in inducing podosomes was examined by confocal and electron microscopy. Removal of myosin from the actin core of podosomes using blebbistatin, a myosin inhibitor, resulted in the formation of smaller podosomes. Downregulation of MLCK by the transfection of MLCK small interfering RNA (siRNA) led to the failure of podosome formation. However, ML-7, an inhibitor of the kinase activity of MLCK, failed to inhibit podosome formation. Based on our previous report (Thatcher et al. J.Pharm.Sci. 116 116–127, 2011), we outlined the important role of the actin-binding activity of MLCK in producing smaller podosomes. |
