Abstract
All cells are subjected to mechanical forces throughout their lifetimes. These forces are sensed by cell surface adhesion receptors and trigger robust actin cytoskeletal rearrangements and growth of the associated adhesion complex to counter the applied force. In this review, we discuss how integrins and cadherins sense force and transmit these forces into the cell interior. We focus on the complement of proteins each adhesion complex recruits to bear the force and the signal transduction pathways activated to allow the cell to tune its contractility. A discussion of the similarities, differences, and crosstalk between cadherin- and integrin-mediated force transmission is also presented.
