 Abstract: Spontaneous and induced front-rear polarization and a subsequent asymmetric actin cytoskeleton is a crucial event leading to cell migration, a key process involved in a variety of physiological and pathological conditions such as tissue development, wound healing, and cancer. Migration of adherent cells relies on the balance between adhesion to the underlying matrix and cytoskeleton-driven front protrusion and rear retraction. A current challenge is to uncouple the effect of adhesion and shape from the contribution of the cytoskeleton in regulating the onset of front-rear polarization. Here, we present a minimal model system that introduces an asymmetric actin cytoskeleton in synthetic cells, which are resembled by giant unilamellar lipid vesicles (GUVs) adhering onto symmetric and asymmetric micropatterned surfaces. Surface micropatterning of streptavidin-coated regions with varying adhesion shape and area was achieved by maskless UV photopatterning. To further study the effects of GUV shape on the cytoskeletal organization, actin filaments were polymerized together with bundling proteins inside the GUVs. The micropatterns induce synthetic cell deformation upon adhesion to the surface, with the cell shape adapting to the pattern shape and size. As expected, asymmetric patterns induce an asymmetric deformation in adherent synthetic cells. Actin filaments orient along the long axis of the deformed GUV, when having a length similar to the size of the major axis, whereas short filaments exhibit random orientation. With this bottom-up approach we have laid the first steps to identify the relationship between cell front-rear polarization and cytoskeleton organization in the future. Such a minimal system will allow us to further study the major components needed to create a polarized cytoskeleton at the onset of migration.
