Cell 128 (2007) 383-397. PTEN is required for removal of PtdIns(3,4,5)p3 from the apical surface and enrichment of PtdIns(4,5)p2 there. The PtdIns(4,5)p2 at the apical surface recruits annexin 2, which in turn recruits Cdc42. Cdc42 in turn is needed for fusion of transport vesicles to the apical surface and creation of the lumen.

Phosphatidylinositol-3,45-trisphosphate regulates the formation of the basolateral plasma membrane in epithelial cells. Nat Cell Biol 8 (2006) 963-970. PtdIns(3,4,5)p3 is enriched at the basolateral surface. Implanting exogenous PtdIns(3,4,5)p3 into the apical surface converts it to basolateral. Addition of exogenous PtdIns(3,4,5)p3 to the basolateral surface of cysts leads to the formation of extensions, which mimics the earliest step in the tubulogenesis induced by hepatocyte growth factor.

J Cell Biol 177 (2007) 21-27. The opportunistic pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, invades polarizad epithelial cells through the basolateral surface. When the bacteria attaches to the apical surface, it causes the accumulation of PI3K at the apical surface and thus transforms the apical surface into basolateral.

Par-4/LKB1 acts as a master kinase that activates the PAR-1 polarity kinase and AMPK. It has been hypothesized that LKB1 acts as a tumor suppressor because it is required to maintain cell polarity and growth control through PAR-1 and AMPK, respectively. The authors of these two articles elegantly describe that LKB1 signals through AMPK to coordinate epithelial polarity and proliferation with cellular energy status, and this might underlie the tumor suppressor function of LKB1.

Development 133 (2006) 1389-1398. In this article the authors show that disruption of the mouse Par3 gene results in embryonic lethality with defective epicardial development. PAR3-deficient epicardial progenitor cells do not form cell cysts and show defects in the establishment of apical cortical domains, but not in basolateral domains.

Here, the authors address an interesting question elusive for a long time: how endothelial tubes assemble in vivo? To address it; they use high-resolution time-lapse two-photon imaging in zebrafish. The striking movies and data provide strong support for a model in which the formation and intracellular and intercellular fusion of endothelial vacuoles drives vascular lumen formation.

Nature 448 (2007) 366-369. On the basis of the studies in MDCK cells in 2D, Rab8 was originally thought to control delivery of proteins from the TGN to the basolateral surface. Here the authors knocked out Rab8 in mice and found that delivery of proteins from the TGN to the apical surface of intestinal cells was affected. A similar defect occurs in a type of human microvillus inclusion disease.

Sequential pulses of apical epithelial secretion and endocytosis drive airway maturation in Drosophila. Dev Cell 13 (2007) 214-225. The authors characterize three cellular mechanisms required for epithelial tracheal tube formation and maturation. Initially, a secretion burst deposits proteins into the lumen. Sar1 is required for protein secretion, luminal matrix assembly, and diametric tube expansion. Then, solid luminal material must be rapidly cleared from the tubes and shortly thereafter liquid is removed. Rab5-dependent endocytic activity internalizes and clears the luminal contents.
