Formin inhibition results in decreased CAV-1 vesicle numbers, enlarged vesicle areas, and slowed movement speeds. When cells are challenged with hypo-osmotic shock or softer matrix, CAV-1 vesicles become less in number, larger in area, and slower in speed in order to resist the external environment pressure. Formin inhibition expedites the changes of CAV-1 vesicles in all aspects.
