| contents | Collective cell migration is key during development, wound healing and metastasis and relies on coordinated cell behaviors at the group level. Src kinase is a key signalling protein for physiological functions of epithelia, as it regulates many cellular processes, including adhesion, motility, and mechanotransduction. Its over-activation is associated to cancer aggressiveness. Here, we take advantage of optogenetics to precisely control Src activation in time and show that its pathological-like activation slows collective rotation of epithelial cells confined into circular adhesive patches. We interpret velocity, force and stress data during period of non-activation and period of activation of Src thanks to an hydrodynamic description of the cell assembly as a polar active fluid. Src activation leads to a 2-fold decrease in the ratio of polar angle to friction, which could result from increased adhesiveness at the cell-substrate interface. Measuring internal stress allows us to show that active stresses are subdominant compared to traction forces. Our work reveals the importance of fine-tuning the level of Src activity for coordinated collective behaviors. |
