Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of microtubular trafficking and endocytosis on FAKi-induced IK1 reduction in micropatterned Ex293 cells. (A) Representative images of micropatterned Ex293 cells immunostained for active β1-integrin after exposure to 12 µM Nocodazole (Noco, top) or 100 µM FAK-inhibitor (FAKi)+12 µM Nocodazole (Noco+FAKi, bottom) for 2, 4 or 6 h. ‘VC’ represents a 6-h exposure to vehicle control. (B,C) Corresponding quantifications of active β1-integrin coverage (B, n=10 cells per group; mean±s.e.m.) and IK1 density measured at −90 mV (C, n=5–14 cells per group; mean±s.e.m.). (D) Representative images of Ex293 cells stained for active β1-integrin after exposure to 25 µM Dynasore (Dyn, top) or 100 µM FAK-inhibitor (FAKi)+25 µM Dynasore (Dyn+FAKi, bottom) for 2, 4 or 6 h. (E,F) Corresponding quantifications of active β1-integrin coverage (E, n=10 cells cells per group; mean±s.e.m.) and IK1 density measured at −90 mV (F, n=6–20 cells per group; mean±s.e.m.). (G) Correlation between IK1 density and active β1-integrin coverage for different interventions. (H) Representative images of Ex293 cells stained for vinculin after exposure to 25 µM Dynasore (Dyn, top) or 100 µM FAK-inhibitor (FAKi)+25 µM Dynasore (Dyn+FAKi, bottom) for 2, 4 or 6 h. (I) Corresponding quantifications of total FA coverage in Ex293 cells (n=6–13 cells per group; mean±s.e.m.). *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001 for without FAKi versus with FAKi; #P<0.05, ##P<0.01, ###P<0.001 for Noco treatment compared to vehicle control and Dyn treatment compared to vehicle control; $P<0.05, $$P<0.01, $$$P<0.001 for Noco+FAKi treatment compared to vehicle control and Dyn+FAKi treatment compared to vehicle control. Note: vehicle controls are pooled for panels B–F (with and without FAKi treatment represents the same data for ‘VC’); ns, not significant (ANOVA followed by Tukey's multiple comparison test). Scale bars: 20 μm.
