    (A, B) HeLa cells were pretreated with control or rhEphrin-A1 (5 μg/ml) for 1 h at 37°C and infected with Ctr (MOI-100) for 1 h at 4°C. Cells were fixed and immunostained for Ctr (Hsp60, green) and <t>EphA2</t> (EphA2, red). (A) Images show EphA2 or EB or the co-localization of EB with EphA2 (yellow) on the cell surface. (B) Co-localization of EB with EphA2 was quantified from 8 different fields of view in 3 independent experiments. The data are expressed as a mean percentage of EphA2-associated EB (± SD) compared to total EB. *P<0.05. Error bars show mean ± SD. (C, D) Purified EB was incubated with or without rhEphA2 (5 μg/ml) in a serum free RPMI media containing 0.1% BSA for 1 h at 37°C. Additionally, rhEphrin-A1-preincubated rhEphA2 was incubated with EB as above. The mixture was centrifuged onto coverslips, washed 3 times with ice cold-PBS, stained and quantified as (B). The data are expressed as a mean percentage of EphA2-associated EB (± SD) compared to total EB. *P<0.05, **P<0.01. Error bars show mean ± SD. (E) Pull-down assay: Purified EB was incubated with rhEphA2 or with rhEphrin-A1 each 10 μg/ml in a serum free RPMI media containing 0.1% BSA for 45 min at 37°C in a rotary shaker. Additionally, rhEphrin-A1-preincubated rhEphA2 was incubated with EB as above and the mixture was centrifuged at 5000 x g for 4 min at 4°C. The pellet was gently washed 3 times with ice cold-PBS. Ctr -infected cells act as a positive control for full length EphA2 expression. The samples were subjected to WB analysis to determine the full length endogenous EphA2 (~130 kDa) and rhEphA2 (~70 kDa) using N-terminal EphA2 specific antibody. rhEphrin-A1 was expressed at ~55–60 kDa. Hsp60 acts as a control for EB.

(G) Cells after transfection of the constructs (each 1.5 μg/ml) indicated above the lanes followed by infection (MOI-1) for 18 h were subjected to WB analysis to analyze the proteins as indicated. EphA2ΔIC was detected by N-terminal EphA2 antibody. Due to the high intensity of total EphA2 and phospho EphA2 from the EphA2-transfected infected cells, the upregulation of endogenous EphA2 cannot be visualized.

    (A) The transfection efficiency of siRNA directed against EphA2 was monitored by WB analysis against total EphA2. In addition, levels of pAkt, IncA and Actin were verified.

Processing of PARP, Hsp60 and Actin were monitored by WB analysis. Rectangle boxes (black: before infection) or (red: after infection) denotes the difference in PARP cleavage after TNF-α induction in siLuci and siEphA2 transfected cells.
