Adherens junctions and desmosomes integrate the cytoskeletons of adjacent cells
into a mechanical syncitium. In doing so, intercellular junctions endow tissues
with the strength needed to withstand the mechanical stresses encountered in
normal physiology and to coordinate tension during morphogenesis. Though much is
known about the biological mechanisms underlying junction formation, little is
known about how tissue-scale mechanical properties are established. Here, we use
deep atomic force microscopy (AFM) indentation to measure the apparent stiffness
of epithelial monolayers reforming from dissociated cells and examine which
cellular processes give rise to tissue-scale mechanics. We show that the
formation of intercellular junctions coincided with an increase in the apparent
stiffness of reforming monolayers that reflected the generation of a tissue-level
tension. Tension rapidly increased, reaching a maximum after 150?min, before
settling to a lower level over the next 3?h as monolayers established
homeostasis. The emergence of tissue tension correlated with the formation of
adherens junctions but not desmosomes. As a consequence, inhibition of any of the
molecular mechanisms participating in adherens junction initiation, remodelling
and maturation significantly impeded the emergence of tissue-level tension in
monolayers.
