Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 5. Bacterial Infection Induces Dephosphorylation of PP1 (A) A549 cells were infected for 3 h with WT and the indicated mutants of S. pneumonia strain TIGR4 (MOI = 25). A representative immunoblot (left) and a quantification (right) of four independent experi- ments are shown. Anti-phospho-PP1a (Thr320) antibody (Cell Signaling, 2581s) recognizes all PP1 isoforms (Shimada et al., 2010). The PP1 T320ph levels are normalized to PP1a and to the unin- fected control condition. S. pneumonia. Error bars represent SD, and statistical significance was calculated by one-way ANOVA method (Dunnett’s post hoc test, uninfected as control group). **p < 0.01. (B) The correlation of H3S10ph levels and PP1 T320ph levels of infected cells from four indepen- dent experiments is calculated by the nonpara- metric Spearman’s correlation coefficient method (C) Immunofluorescence of PP1 T320ph in A549 cells under uninfected, 3-h WT TIGR4 infection, 3-h DplyDspxB double mutant infection, and 3-h WT infection at MOI = 25 with 3-h Tautomycetin pretreatment conditions. Size bars represent 50 mm. Quantification of nuclear PP1 T320ph fluorescence intensity from at least two indepen- dent experiments, for more than 300 cells counted for each condition. (D) HeLa cells were infected for 3 h with the WT Listeria (EGD strain) and its hly mutant at MOI = 50. A representative immunoblot of three independent experiments is shown. See also Figure S5.
Article Snippet: The human cervical carcinoma epithelial cell line HeLa (ATCC CCL-2) cells and human colon carcinoma cell line CaCO2 (ATCC HTB-37) cells were cultured in MEM culture medium supplemented with 1% glutamine, 1 mM sodium pyruvate (GIBCO), 0.1 mM nonessential amino acid solution (GIBCO), and 10% (HeLa) or 20% (CaCO2) FCS.
