Figure Legend Snippet: Figure 1. Decreased cytoskeleton-associated vinculin in hindlimb muscles from Chkb-deficient mice. (A) Transmission electron microscopy of the forelimb and hindlimb from 12-d-old wild-type (Chkb+/+) and Chkb-deficient (Chkb−/−) mice shows aligned Z-bands (white arrows) and normal mitochondria (white asterisk) in hindlimb and forelimb muscle samples from wild-type and forelimb samples from Chkb−/−mice. Disrupted integrity of intercalated disk and Z-line (black arrow), mitochondrial degeneration with erased cristae (black asterisk), and prominent sarcomere degeneration in hindlimb samples from Chkb−/−mice. Scale bar = 800 nm. (B, C, D, E) Decreased cytoskeletal association of vinculin in hindlimb muscles from Chkb−/−mice compared with their wild-type littermates. (B, D) Representative micrograph of frozen hindlimb skeletal muscle tissue from wild-type and Chkb-deficient mice fixed without (B) or with (D) cytoskeleton stabilization buffer (CSK) treatment. Tissue sections were immuno-stained using anti-vinculin (purple) and Alexa Fluor 488-phalloidin (actin, green) antibody. Images were obtained using confocal microscopy. CSK treatment removes cytoplasmic proteins as well as proteins that are loosely attached to the cytoskeleton from cells but not proteins tightly binding to cytoskeleton. Thus, activated and cytoskeleton-associated vinculin can be visualized by CSK treatment. There is an increase in total vinculin

Figure Legend Snippet: Figure 3. Loss of choline kinase activity decreases the affinity of in integrin- mediated linkage component for the membrane/cytoskeleton. (A, B) Soluble (A) and insoluble (sarcolemma/cytoskeleton associated) (B) fractions prepared from hindlimb skeletal muscle (quadriceps) of three distinct (lanes 1–3) Chkb+/+ and three distinct (lanes 4–6) Chkb−/−mice probed with anti-vinculin, anti- talin, anti-α-actinin, and anti-β-actin. (C) Densitometry of the Western blot data show the ratio of detergent insoluble to detergent soluble fractions of vinculin, β-actin, and α-actinin in hindlimb (quadriceps) samples. Much less vinculin, β-actin, and α-actinin was associated with the cytoskeleton in lysates from Chkb−/−, compared with Chkb+/+ mice. Values are means ± SD; n = 3–4 per group. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 (t test).
Techniques Used: Activity Assay, Membrane, Western Blot
Figure Legend Snippet: Figure 2. Decreased abundance and sarcolemma association of integrin-mediated linkage components in affected muscle of Chkb2/2 mice. (A, B) Western blot of total tissue lysis of (A) forelimb (triceps) and (B) hindlimb (quadriceps) samples from three distinct (lanes 1–3) Chkb+/+ and three distinct (lanes 4–6) Chkb−/−mice probed with anti-vinculin, anti-itga7, anti-talin, anti-α-actinin, and anti-Gapdh antibodies. Bottom: densitometry of the Western blot data show the ratio of vinculin, metavinculin, itga7, talin, and a-actinin to Gapdh in forelimb (triceps) and hindlimb (quadriceps) samples. Values are means ± SD; n = 3–4 per group. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 (t test). Detergent (NP40), soluble (cytosolic).
Techniques Used: Western Blot, Lysis
Figure Legend Snippet: Figure 4. Treatment with choline kinase alpha inhibitors results in mis-localization of PI(4,5)P2 and decreases vinculin localization in focal adhesions in control U2OS cells but has no effect on U2OS cells overexpressing Myc-CHKB. (A) U2OS cells were transiently transfected with the PI(4,5)P2 reporter PH-PLCD1-GFP and were treated with the choline kinase alpha inhibitors EB-3D (10 mM), CK-37 (15 mM) or vehicle for 48 h and live cells were imaged by spinning-disk confocal microscopy. Choline kinase alpha inhibition resulted in the loss of dorsal membrane PH- PLCD1-GFP clusters in the U2OS cells. (B) The ratio of dorsal plasma membrane: cytoplasmic PH-PLCD1-GFP fluorescence is significantly decreased in choline kinase
