Abstract
The interaction of multiple myeloma with bone marrow resident cells plays a key role in tumor progression and the development of drug resistance. The tumor cell response involves contact-mediated and paracrine interactions. The heterogeneity of myeloma cells and bone marrow cells makes it difficult to reproduce this environment in in-vitro experiments. The use of in-silico established tools can help to understand these complex problems. In this article, we present a computational model based on the finite element method to define the interactions of multiple myeloma cells with resident bone marrow cells. This model includes cell migration, which is controlled by stress-strain equilibrium, and cell processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. A series of computational experiments were performed to validate the proposed model. Cell proliferation by the growth factor IGF-1 is studied for different concentrations ranging from 0-10 ng/mL. Cell motility is studied for different concentrations of VEGF and fibronectin in the range of 0-100 ng/mL. Finally, cells were simulated under a combination of IGF-1 and VEGF stimuli whose concentrations are considered to be dependent on the cancer-associated fibroblasts in the extracellular matrix. Results show a good agreement with previous in-vitro results. Multiple myeloma growth and migration are shown to correlate linearly to the IGF-1 stimuli. These stimuli are coupled with the mechanical environment, which also improves cell growth. Moreover, cell migration depends on the fiber and VEGF concentration in the extracellular matrix. Finally, our computational model shows myeloma cells trigger mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate into cancer-associated fibroblasts, in a dose-dependent manner.

Abstract
In this work, we deal with a kinetic model of cell movement that takes into consideration the structure of the extracellular matrix, considering cell membrane reactions, haptotaxis, and chemotaxis, which plays a key role in a number of biological processes such as wound healing and tumor cell invasion. The modeling is performed at a microscopic scale, and then, a scaling limit is performed to derive the macroscopic model. We run some selected numerical experiments aimed at understanding cell movement and adhesion under certain documented situations, and we measure the alignment of the cells and compare it with the pathways determined by the extracellular matrix by introducing new alignment operators.

Abstract
A major challenge in matrix-metalloproteinase (MMP) target validation and MMP-inhibitor-drug development for anti-cancer clinical trials is to better understand their complex roles (often competing with each other) in tumor progression. While there is extensive research on the growth-promoting effects of MMPs, the growth-inhibiting effects of MMPs has not been investigated thoroughly. So we develop a continuum model of tumor growth and invasion including chemotaxis and haptotaxis in order to examine the complex interaction between the tumor and its host microenvironment and to explore the inhibiting influence of the gradients of soluble fragments of extracellular matrix (ECM) density on tumor growth and morphology. Previously, it was shown both computationally (in one spatial dimension) and experimentally that the chemotactic pull due to soluble ECM gradients is anti-invasive, contrary to the traditional view of the role of chemotaxis in malignant invasion [1]. With two-dimensional numerical simulation and using a level set based tumor-host interface capturing method, we examine the effects of chemotaxis on the progression and morphology of a tumor growing in nutrient-rich and nutrient-poor microenvironments which was not investigated before. In particular we examine how the geometry of the growing tumor is affected when placed in different environments. We also investigate the effects of varying ECM degradation rate, the production rate of matrix degrading enzymes (MDE), and the conversion of ECM into soluble ECM. We find that chemotaxis due to ECM-fragment gradients strongly influences tumor growth and morphology, and that the instabilities caused by tumor cell proliferation and haptotactic movements can be prevented if chemotaxis is sufficiently strong. The influence of chemotaxis and the above factors on tumor growth and morphology are found to be more prominent in nutrient-poor environments than in nutrient-rich environments. So we extend our investigations of these antinvasive chemotactic influences by examining the effects of cell-cell and cell-ECM adhesion and low proliferation rate for tumors growing in low-nutrient environments. We find that as the extent of chemotaxis increases, the effects of adhesion on tumor growth and shape become negligible. Under conditions of low cell mitosis, chemotaxis may cause the tumor to shrink, as the extent of chemotaxis increases. Both stable and unstable tumor shrinkage are predicted by our model. Unexpectedly, in some cases chemotaxis may contribute toward developing instability where haptotaxis alone induces stable growth.

Abstract
The development of drugs to counter diseases related to cell migration has resulted in a multi-billion dollar endeavor. Unfortunately, few drugs have emerged from this effort highlighting the need for new methods to enhance assays to study, analyze and control cell migration. In response to this complex process, computational models have emerged as potent tools to describe migration providing a high throughput and low cost method. However, most models are unable to predict migration response to drug with direct application to in vitro experiments. In addition to this, no model to date has attempted to describe migration in response to drugs while incorporating simultaneously protein signaling, proteolytic activity, and 3D culture. In this paper, we describe an integrated computational approach, in conjunction with in vitro observations, to serve as a platform to accurately predict migration in 3D matrices incorporating the function of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their interaction with the Extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) signaling pathway. Our results provide biological insight into how matrix density, MMP activity, integrin adhesions, and p-ERK expression all affect speed and persistence in 3D. Predictions from the model provide insight toward improving drug combinations to more effectively reduce both speed and persistence during migration and the role of integrin adhesions in motility. In this way our integrated platform provides future potential to streamline and improve throughput toward the testing and development of migration targeting drugs with tangible application to current in vitro assays.

Abstract
Extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling is a key physiological process that occurs in a number of contexts, including cell migration, and is especially important for cellular form and function in three-dimensional (3D) matrices. However, there have been few attempts to computationally model how cells modify their environment in a manner that accounts for both cellular properties and the architecture of the surrounding ECM. To this end, we have developed and validated a novel model to simulate matrix remodeling that explicitly defines cells in a 3D collagenous matrix. In our simulation, cells can degrade, deposit, or pull on local fibers, depending on the fiber density around each cell. The cells can also move within the 3D matrix. Different cell phenotypes can be modeled by varying key cellular parameters. Using the model we have studied how two model cancer cell lines, of differing invasiveness, modify matrices with varying fiber density in their vicinity by tracking the metric of fraction of matrix occupied by fibers. Our results quantitatively demonstrate that in low density environments, cells deposit more collagen to uniformly increase fibril fraction. On the other hand, in higher density environments, the less invasive model cell line reduced the fibril fraction as compared to the highly invasive phenotype. These results show good qualitative and quantitative agreement with existing experimental literature. Our simulation is therefore able to function as a novel platform to provide new insights into the clinically relevant and physiologically critical process of matrix remodeling by helping identify critical parameters that dictate cellular behavior in complex native-like environments.

Abstract
Cell motility is a fundamental physiological process that regulates cellular fate in healthy and diseased systems. Cells cultured in 3D environments often exhibit biphasic dependence of migration speed with cell adhesion. Much is not understood about this very common behavior. A phenomenological model for 3D single-cell migration that exhibits biphasic behavior and highlights the important role of steric hindrance is developed and studied analytically. Changes in the biphasic behavior in the presence of proteolytic enzymes are investigated. Our methods produce a framework to determine analytic formulae for the mean cell speed, allowing general statements in terms of parameters to be explored, which will be useful when interpreting future experimental results. Our formula for mean cell speed as a function of ligand concentration generalizes and extends previous computational models that have shown good agreement with in vitro experiments.

Abstract
We propose some models allowing to account for relevant processes at the various scales of cancer cell migration through tissue, ranging from the receptor dynamics on the cell surface over degradation of tissue fibers by protease and soluble ligand production towards the behavior of the entire cell population. For a genuinely mesoscopic version of these models we also provide a result on the local existence and uniqueness of a solution for all biologically relevant space dimensions.

Abstract
Cell migration is a fundamental process that is crucial to a variety of physiological events. While traditional approaches have focused on two-dimensional (2D) systems, recent efforts have shifted to studying migration in three-dimensional (3D) matrices. A major distinction that has emerged is the increased importance of cell-matrix interactions in 3D environments. In particular, cell motility in 3D matrices is more dependent on matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) to degrade steric obstacles than in 2D systems. In this study, we implement the effects of MMP-mediated proteolysis in a force-based computational model of 3D migration, testing two matrix ligand-MMP relationships that have been observed experimentally: linear and log-linear. The model for both scenarios predicts maximal motility at intermediate matrix ligand and MMP levels, with the linear case providing more physiologically compelling results. Recent experimental results suggesting MMP influence on integrin expression are also integrated into the model. While the biphasic behavior is retained, with MMP-integrin feedback peak cell speed is observed in a low ligand, high MMP regime instead of at intermediate ligand and MMP levels for both ligand-MMP relationships. The simulation provides insight into the expanding role of cell-matrix interactions in cell migration in 3D environments and has implications for cancer research.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of enzymes responsible for the proteolytic processing of extracellular matrix (ECM) structural proteins under physiological and pathological conditions. During sprouting angiogenesis, the MMPs expressed by a single "tip" endothelial cell exhibit proteolytic activity that allows the cells of the sprouting vessel bud to migrate into the ECM. Membrane type I matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) and the diffusible matrix metalloproteinase MMP2, in the presence of the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases TIMP2, constitute a system of proteins that play an important role during the proteolysis of collagen type I matrices. Here, we have formulated a computational model to investigate the proteolytic potential of such a tip endothelial cell. The cell expresses MMP2 in its proenzyme form, pro-MMP2, as well as MT1-MMP and TIMP2. The interactions of the proteins are described by a biochemically detailed reaction network. Assuming that the rate-limiting step of the migration is the ability of the tip cell to carry out proteolysis, we have estimated cell velocities for matrices of different collagen content. The estimated velocities of a few microns per hour are in agreement with experimental data. At high collagen content, proteolysis was carried out primarily by MT1-MMP and localized to the cell leading edge, whereas at lower concentrations, MT1-MMP and MMP2 were found to act in parallel, causing proteolysis in the vicinity of the leading edge. TIMP2 is a regulator of the proteolysis localization because it can shift the activity of MT1-MMP from its enzymatic toward its activatory mode, suggesting a tight mechanosensitive regulation of the enzymes and inhibitor expression. The model described here provides a foundation for quantitative studies of angiogenesis in extracellular matrices of different compositions, both in vitro and in vivo. It also identifies critical parameters whose values are not presently available and which should be determined in future experiments.

Abstract
Although computational models for cell migration on two-dimensional (2D) substrata have described how various molecular and cellular properties and physiochemical processes are integrated to accomplish cell locomotion, the same issues, along with certain new ones, might contribute differently to a model for migration within three-dimensional (3D) matrices. To address this more complicated situation, we have developed a computational model for cell migration in 3D matrices using a force-based dynamics approach. This model determines an overall locomotion velocity vector, comprising speed and direction, for individual cells based on internally generated forces transmitted into external traction forces and considering a timescale during which multiple attachment and detachment events are integrated. Key parameters characterize cell and matrix properties, including cell/matrix adhesion and mechanical and steric properties of the matrix; critical underlying molecular properties are incorporated explicitly or implicitly. Model predictions agree well with experimental results for the limiting case of migration on 2D substrata as well as with recent experiments in 3D natural tissues and synthetic gels. Certain predicted features such as biphasic behavior of speed with density of matrix ligands for 3D migration are qualitatively similar to their 2D counterparts, but new effects generally absent in 2D systems, such as effects due to matrix sterics and mechanics, are now predicted to arise in many 3D situations. As one particular sample manifestation of these effects, the optimal levels of cell receptor expression and matrix ligand density yielding maximal migration are dependent on matrix mechanical compliance.

Abstract
Enzyme-catalyzed proteolysis of gelatin gels has been studied. We report a gel degradation rate varying as the square of the enzyme concentration. The diffusion motion of enzymes in the gel has been measured by two-photon fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and identified as being anomalously slow. These experimental results are discussed from a theoretical point of view and interpreted in terms of a diffusion-controlled mechanism for the gel degradation. These results make a step toward the understanding of enzyme-catalyzed gel degradation and give new insight on biological processes such as the action of metalloproteinases in the extracellular matrix involved in cellular invasion.

Abstract
Extracellular matrix mass balance is implied in many physiological and pathological events, such as metastasis dissemination. Widely studied, its destructive part is mainly catalysed by extracellular proteinases. Conversely, the properties of the constructive part are less obvious, cellular neo-synthesis being usually considered as its only element. In this paper, we introduce the action of transglutaminase in a mathematical model for extracellular matrix remodeling. This extracellular enzyme, catalysing intermolecular protein cross-linking, is considered here as a reverse proteinase as far as the extracellular matrix physical state is concerned. The model is based on a proteinase/transglutaminase cycle interconverting insoluble matrix and soluble proteolysis fragments, with regulation of cellular proteinase expression by the fragments. Under "closed" (batch) conditions, i.e. neglecting matrix influx and fragment efflux from the system, the model is bistable, with reversible hysteresis. Extracellular matrix proteins concentration abruptly switches from low to high levels when transglutaminase activity exceeds a threshold value. Proteinase concentration usually follows the reverse complementary kinetics, but can become apparently uncoupled from extracellular matrix concentration for some parameter values. When matrix production by the cells and fragment degradation are taken into account, the dynamics change to sustained oscillations because of the emergence of a stable limit cycle. Transitions out of and into oscillation areas are controlled by the model parameters. Biological interpretation indicates that these oscillations could represent the normal homeostatic situation, whereas the other exhibited dynamics can be related to pathologies such as tumor invasion or fibrosis. These results allow to discuss the insights that the model could contribute to the comprehension of these complex biological events.
