The cytosol contains high levels of actin monomers, which favors assembly over disassembly, and barbed ends are enriched in ADP-Pi actin. For these reasons, the potential for a barbed end depolymerization mechanism in cells has received little attention. Here, using microfluidics-assisted TIRF microscopy, we show that mouse twinfilin, a member of the ADF-homology family, induces depolymerization of ADP-Pi barbed ends even under assembly-promoting conditions. Indeed, we observe in single reactions containing micromolar concentrations of actin monomers the simultaneous rapid elongation of formin-bound barbed ends and twinfilin-induced depolymerization of free barbed ends. The data show that twinfilin catalyzes dissociation of subunits from ADP-Pi barbed ends and thereby bypasses filament aging prerequisites to disassemble newly polymerized actin filaments.Electronic cigarettes are the most commonly used nicotine containing product among teenagers. The oral epithelium is the first site of exposure and our recent work revealed considerable diversity among e-liquids for composition and level of chemical constituents that impact nicotine deposition in a human oral-trachea cast and affect the formation of reactive carbonyls. Here, we evaluate the dose response for cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of e-cigarette-generated aerosols from 10 diverse flavored e-liquid products with and without nicotine compared with unflavored in 3 immortalized oral epithelial cell lines. Three e-liquids, Blue Pucker, Love Potion, and Jamestown caused ≥20% cell toxicity assessed by the neutral red uptake assay. Nine products induced significant levels of oxidative stress up to 2.4-fold quantified by the ROS-Glo assay in a
