Figure Legend Snippet: Control and Paqr5 -silenced MBECs were cultured on large pore-size filter inserts until confluence. 4T1-tdTomato cells were placed in the top compartment at a density of 10 5 cells/cm 2 and left for 48 hours. A: Claudin-5 immunofluorescence was performed. One representative confocal micrograph is shown for both control and Paqr5 -silenced MBEC monolayers 48 hours after addition of the tumour cells. XY images show maximum intensity projection of z -stacks, while XZ and YZ views represent single optical slices along the light blue lines on the XY images. Arrows indicate bottom-to-top directions in the orthogonal sections. B: After removal of the cells from the top side of the filters, tumour cells that had migrated through the endothelial monolayer and the pores of the filter were counted. In the left panels, two representative epifluorescence images are shown for both conditions. Graph on the right represents average ± SD from N = 2 independent experiments, each performed in triplicates. Please note that the difference may be underestimated, as clusters of cells migrating through Paqr5 -silenced MBEC monolayers could not always be optically resolved into individual cells. **P ≤ 0.01 compared to control cells receiving the non-targeting siRNA (Student’s t -test).
