Figure Legend Snippet: Critical role of CDC42 in the Rho GTPase signaling pathway during M. catarrhalis invasion into A549 cells. (A) Comparison of invasion counts of M. catarrhalis strains 73-OR and ATCC 25238 into WT A549 cells vs. CDC42 -/- A549 cells. Data are presented as mean ± standard error (SE) from three independent biological replicates (n=3). Statistical significance was determined using an unpaired Student’s t-test. To accurately assess the magnitude of the impact given the limited sample size, effect sizes (Cohen’s d) and mean differences are reported alongside P-values. (B) Transmission electron micrographs (TEM) of 73-OR and ATCC 25238 invading WT A549 cells and CDC42 -/- A549 cells. (C) TEM quantification of M. catarrhalis invasion into wild-type and CDC42 -/- A549 cells. Invasion counts for M. catarrhalis strains 73-OR and ATCC 25238 were quantified by counting the number of bacteria internalized within wild-type (WT) and CDC42 -/- A549 cells via Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Data represent the mean ± standard error(SE) from three independent biological replicates (n =3). Within each biological replicate, three random microscopic fields at the same magnification were selected and counted. Statistical significance between groups was determined using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test. Both 73-OR and ATCC 25238 strains showed a significant reduction in invasion into CDC42 -/- A549 cells compared to WT cells. (D) Quantitative comparison of F-actin/G-actin ratios in WT A549 cells and CDC42 -/- A549 cells post-infection with M. catarrhalis strains 73-OR and ATCC 25238. Data are presented as the mean ± standard error(SE) from three independent biological replicates (n=3). Statistical comparison between groups was performed using an unpaired Student’s t-test. (E) Immunofluorescence analysis of F-actin polymerization in A549 cells post-infection. Wild-type (WT) and CDC42 -/- A549 cells were challenged with M. catarrhalis strains 73-OR and ATCC 25238, fixed, and stained. Blue: nuclei; Green: F-actin. (F) Analysis of microfilament expression levels in WT A549 cells vs. CDC42 -/- A549 cells following infection with 73-OR and ATCC 25238. Data are presented as the mean ± standard error(SE) from three independent biological replicates (n=3). Statistical comparison between groups was performed using an unpaired Student’s t-test.
