Abstract

Forced and spontaneous motions of microbeads tightly bound to the cytoskeleton (CSK) of human muscle cells were analyzed. HASM cells in passages 6-7 were serum-deprived for 24 h; serum deprivation arrests the cell cylce in the G1/G00 phases. It was observed that these spontaneous bead motions reflecting nanoscale CSK arrangements depended on both the approach to glass transition and energy release due to ATP hydrolysis. The results show that the trapping, intermittency, and approach to kinetic arrest are mesoscale features of CSK protein-protein interaction that link integrative phenotypic functions to the molecular events.
