(a) Fluorescence confocal images of <t>HeLa,</t> <t>4T1,</t> MCF-7, and NIH 3T3 cells after incubation with Pro-BDP-3 (5.0 μM) for 2 h with or without further incubation with RuL2 or RuL3 (2.5 μM) for a further 4 h (red fluorescence; λ ex = 633 nm, λ em = 650–900 nm). The cells being incubated with BDP-COOH (5.0 μM) for 2 h were used as the positive control. The cell nuclei were stained with Hoechst (1.0 μM) for 15 min (blue fluorescence; λ ex = 405 nm, λ em = 420–500 nm). Scale bar = 20 μm. (b) Corresponding mean red fluorescence intensities quantified by ImageJ. Data are reported as the mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM) for three independent experiments (∗∗∗∗p < 0.0001). (c) Fluorescence confocal images of HeLa, 4T1, MCF-7, and NIH 3T3 cells after the aforementioned treatments and further incubation with H 2 DCFDA (10 μM) for 30 min, followed by light irradiation (λ > 610 nm, 25.8 mW/cm 2 ) for 8 min to give a total fluence of 12 J/cm 2 (green fluorescence; λ ex = 488 nm, λ em = 493–550 nm). Scale bar = 20 μm. (d) Corresponding mean green fluorescence intensities of DCF quantified by ImageJ. Data are reported as the mean ± SEM for three independent experiments (∗∗∗∗p < 0.0001). (e) Dark and photo (λ > 610 nm, 25.8 mW/cm 2 , 12 J/cm 2 ) cytotoxicity of BDP-COOH , Pro-BDP-3 , RuL2 , Pro-BDP-3 + RuL2 , RuL3 , and Pro-BDP-3 + RuL3 against HeLa, 4T1, MCF-7, and NIH 3T3 cells. The cells were incubated with BDP-COOH , Pro-BDP-3 , RuL2 , or RuL3 for 2 h. For Pro-BDP-3 + RuL2 and Pro-BDP-3 + RuL3 , the cells were first incubated with Pro-BDP-3 for 2 h and then with RuL2 or RuL3 (0.5 equiv.) for a further 4 h. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments, each performed in quadruplicate. (f) Photocytotoxicity of these agents at 5.0 μM and the combination treatments at 5.0 μM of Pro-BDP-3 against the four cell lines. The rightmost figure compiles the results for Pro-BDP-3 + RuL3 (∗∗∗∗p < 0.0001). Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments, each performed in quadruplicate. (g) Live/dead cell viability assay using calcein-AM and PI. The cells were treated as described above, followed by incubation with calcein-AM (1 μM) and PI (2 μM) in binding buffer (2 mL) at 37 °C for 30 min. The live cells were indicated by the green fluorescence of calcein-AM (λ ex = 488 nm, λ em = 493–550 nm), while the dead cells were indicated by the red fluorescence of PI (λ ex = 561 nm, λ em = 600–800 nm).

Analyses of keratin and 14-3-3 protein interactions (complement to ). (A–C′) Lollipop plots displaying the 14-3-3-Pred “consensus score” for all serines and threonines in (A) human KRT14 ; (A′) mouse Krt14 ; (B) human KRT5 ; (B′) mouse Krt5 ; (C) human KRT15 ; (C′) mouse Krt15 . Lollipop height and color both scale to consensus score magnitude. The two residues with the largest positive consensus score are labeled. (D) Lollipop plot illustrates identified phosphorylation sites on K14 protein exhibiting a localization score >0.6 in human N-TERT keratinocytes in culture. The relative occupancy percentage for each phosphorylation site was calculated by dividing the phosphopeptide’s intensity by total intensity of unique K14 peptides. This calculation, shown here as relative phosphorylation site occupancy (%), was performed only for phosphopeptides that are unique to K14 without miscleavages (S44, S281, S435, S437). (D′) Spectra of the phosphopeptides corresponding to the S39 (left) and S44 (right) sites. “Phos” conveys phosphorylation, and “CAM” stands for carbamidomethyl. (E) Representative micrographs of YAP1-14-3-3σ PLA performed on transfected HeLa cells. Cells were transfected with untagged K5 and WT and mutant K14 or K15. Merge panels show PLA punctae (red), EGFP-tagged keratin autofluorescence (green), and DAPI counterstain (blue). Scale bar = 10 µm.

Transformed HeLa-green fluorescent protein (GFP) cells exhibit anchorage-independent proliferation and colony formation in a 3D culture environment with 0.03 % LA717, unlike surrounding MSCs. Representative whole-well and magnified views at 0, 24, 72, 120, 240, and 360 h. MSCs (20,000 cells/well) were co-cultured with a single HeLa-GFP cell in 200 μL of medium supplemented with 0.03 % LA717 in a low-adhesion 96-well plate. All cells were pre-labeled with CellVue Claret (CVC; pseudo-colored magenta). Bright-field (BF), GFP, CVC, and merged images are shown. Yellow arrows at 0, 24, 72, and 120 h indicate the HeLa-GFP cell/colony in both the GFP and CVC panels; later time points (240 and 360 h) are not arrowed for clarity. Under these conditions, MSCs remained dispersed and did not exhibit anchorage-independent proliferation, whereas the single HeLa-GFP cell proliferated and formed a distinct colony by 240–360 h. A stitched movie of the complete 360-h time-lapse (1-h intervals) is provided as the Supplementary Movie. Images were acquired using a CellVoyager CQ1 (Yokogawa Electric). The inner diameter of each well was 6.4 mm.

The colony-forming efficiency (CFE) of HeLa-GFP cells co-cultured with MSCs in LA717-supplemented medium under various culture conditions. (a) The CFE of HeLa-GFP cells was evaluated under four different concentrations of LA717 (0.03 %, 0.04 %, 0.05 %, and 0.06 %) in 200 μL of culture medium per well. HeLa-GFP cells (0.5 cells/well on average) were co-cultured with 20,000 MSCs per well in a 96-well plate ( n = 240 wells per condition) for 3 weeks without any medium changes or additions. CFE was calculated based on the number of wells containing colonies derived from HeLa-GFP cells, as determined by image analysis. Bar graphs represent the mean and standard deviation (SD) values from three independent experiments, and the colored lines show the individual results from each experiment. (b) The CFE of HeLa-GFP cells was evaluated under varying cell input amounts (λ = 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0) in 200 μL of medium containing 0.03 % LA717 and 20,000 MSCs per well. HeLa-GFP cells were seeded into 840, 420, 240, and 120 wells, respectively, and cultured for 3 weeks. The CFE was calculated from the number of wells containing colonies detected by image analysis. Bars represent the mean and SD values of three independent experiments, and colored lines indicate the individual results. No colony formation was observed under control conditions (λ = 0; i.e., MSCs only, 60 wells). Detailed numerical data for each condition in (a) and (b) are provided in , respectively. The equation used to calculate CFE in (a) and (b) is described in , respectively. LA, LA717.

Fluorescence-based detection of colonies formed by single HeLa cells co-cultured with MSCs in LA717-supplemented medium. Representative images of colonies formed by a single HeLa-GFP or wild-type HeLa cell co-cultured with 20,000 MSCs per well for 3 weeks in 0.03 % LA717-supplemented medium (200 μL/well). Fluorescent staining markedly enhanced the accuracy of colony detection in image analysis. Images were acquired using the CellVoyager CQ1 confocal imaging cytometer (Yokogawa Electric). (a) A colony derived from a single HeLa-GFP cell. Live staining was performed by adding Hoechst 33342 (nucleus), MitoTracker Deep Red (mitochondria), or LysoTracker Red (lysosomes) to the culture medium and incubating the cells for a defined period. The GFP signal confirmed that the colony originated from HeLa-GFP cells, which was also clearly visualized with each dye. (b) A colony derived from a single wild-type HeLa cell. Live staining with Hoechst 33342 and Calcein-AM revealed strong fluorescence signals, indicating colony viability. (c) (Left) A wild-type live HeLa colony stained with Hoechst 33342 and LysoTracker Red. (Right) The same colony was imaged 14 days after fixation with 1 % paraformaldehyde (PFA). Fluorescence signals from Hoechst and LysoTracker staining were retained, indicating that this dye combination is compatible with fixation and long-term storage, allowing flexible scheduling of image acquisition and analysis. The inner diameter of each well was 6.4 mm.

Detection sensitivity assessment of the D-LACF assay using MSCs spiked with HeLa-GFP cells. (a) Schematic overview of the sample preparation and culture process. Ten HeLa-GFP cells were isolated using a cell sorter and spiked into a suspension of 10 million MSCs to prepare a test sample containing 0.0001 % HeLa-GFP cells. The mixture was then aliquoted into 300 wells (60 wells × 5 plates) at 20,000 cells per well for D-LACF assay evaluation. (b) Summary of the number of GFP-positive colonies detected per run. Left: spiked condition (MSCs + HeLa-GFP), five independent runs. Right: MSC-only negative controls, three independent runs (all zero). (c) Representative plate maps from Test-1 showing all five 96-well plates; yellow boxes mark wells in which GFP-positive colonies were detected (confirmed by fluorescence and bright-field review).
