Figure Legend Snippet: Fig. 2 Progranulin and EphA2 differ in their ability to modulate mesothelioma cell motility and adhesion. A Migration of parental, GRN KO and progranulin-re-expressing GRN KO MSTO-211H cells was assessed using transwells as described in Material and Methods. B Migration of parental, GRN KO and EphA2 KO MSTO-211H cells as assessed by transwells migration. C Invasion of parental, GRN KO and EphA2 KO MSTO-211H cells was assessed using matrigel-coated transwells. D The ability of parental, GRN KO and EphA2 KO MSTO-211H cells to adhere to plasma fibronectin, collagen and poly-L-Lys was assessed as described in Material and Methods. E The migratory ability of parental and progranulin overexpressing NCI-H2052 cells was assessed using transwells. F Transwell migration of parental and EphA2 KO NCI-H2052 cells, untreated or stimulated with 50 nM progranulin. G Invasion through matrigel-coated transwells of parental and EphA2 KO NCI-H2052 cells, untreated or stimulated with 50 nM progranulin. For motility and adhesion assays, data are the average of three independent experiments ± SD. *** p < 0.001, ** p < 0.01, * p < 0.05. H Parental, GRN KO and EphA2 KO MSTO-211H cells were subcutaneously implanted in Rag2-/- mice and tumor volumes measured at the indicated time post tumor injection. N = 8, ± SD, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01
Techniques Used: Migration, Expressing, Clinical Proteomics, Injection
Figure Legend Snippet: Fig. 4 FAK mediates progranulin-dependent activation of AKT and ERK1/2 in mesothelioma cells. A, B Parental and EphA2 KO MSTO-211H (A) and NCI-H2052 (B) cells were serum-starved for 24 h, pre-incubated with the FAK inhibitor PF-573228 (5 µM) for 1 h and then treated with the same concentration of PF-573228 alone or in combination with 50 nM progranulin for 15 min. Levels of total and phosphorylated EphA2 (S897), AKT, ERK1/2 and FAK (Y397) were assessed by immunoblot. C NCI-H2052 cells were transfected with siRNA targeting FAK (PTK2) or non-targeting control (siCTR) siRNA. At 48 h post-transfection cells were transferred onto serum-free medium and 24 h later exposed to 50 nM progranulin for 15 min. Levels of total and phosphorylated EphA2 (S897), AKT, ERK1/2 and of FAK as assessed by immunoblot
Techniques Used: Activation Assay, Incubation, Concentration Assay, Western Blot, Transfection, Control
Figure Legend Snippet: Fig. 7 Progranulin modulates pFAK Y397 levels in a RYK-dependent manner and modulates focal adhesion turn over. A Parental (P), EphA2 KO and EphA2 KO MSTO-211H cells stably transfected with an empty vector, re-expressing wild type EphA2, or EphA2 mutants were transfected with siRNAs targeting progranulin (siGRN) or non-targeting (siCTR) control. At 8 h post-transfection cells were serum-starved and total and phosphorylated FAK (Y397) were analyzed by immunoblot 48 h post-transfection. B Phosphorylated FAK (Y397) levels in parental, GRN KO, GRN KO MSTO-211H cells with reconstituted progranulin expression (left panel) or parental and PGRN overexpressing NCI-H2052 cells (right panel) serum-starved for 24 h. C Phosphorylated FAK (Y397) in siRYK- or siControl-transfected (siCTR) MSTO-211H and NCI-H2052 cells serum-starved for 24 h, pre-incubated with gefitinib (10 µM) for 1 h and then treated with gefitinib alone or in combination with 50 nM progranulin for 15 min. D Levels of total and phosphorylated FAK (Y397) in EphA2 KO MSTO-211H cells transfected with siRNA targeting RYK or control (siCTR) siRNA, serum-starved for 24 h and stimulated with 50 nM progranulin for 15 min. E Levels of total and phosphorylated FAK (Y397) in MSTO-211H cells transfected with either siRNAs targeting progranulin, RYK, their combination or non-targeting controls (siCTR) and serum-starved for 40 h. F Levels of total and phosphorylated FAK (Y397) in parental and GRN KO MSTO-211H cells transfected with siRYK or control (siCTR) siRNA and serum-starved for 24 h. G-I Parental and GRN KO MSTO-211H cells (G), parental MSTO-211H cells 24 h post transfection with siRNA targeting progranulin (siGRN) or control ( siCTR) siRNA (H), and GRN KO MSTO-211H cells 48 h post transfection with RYK-specific siRNA or control (siCTR) siRNA (I) were serum-starved for 24 h and then treated with 10 µM nocodazole (NCZ) for 4 h. Nocodazole was then washed-out and the levels of phosphorylated FAK (Y397) were analyzed by immunoblot in cell lysates at the indicated times after nocodazole washout
