Figure Lengend Snippet: a . Cartoon depicting JNK signaling assay (adapted from . Upon activation of the JNK signaling pathway, the mCherry reporter protein translocates from the nucleus to the cytoplasm of the cell. b . Representative confocal images of AGS-B18 cells co-cultured with wild-type pCAF2 transfected with either membrane GFP (left panel), ROR2 BFP (center panel), or dCD ROR2 BFP (right panel). The scale bar represents 10μm. c . Quantification of the cytoplasmic to nuclear ratio of JNK reporter signal in receiving AGS-B18 cells co-cultured with pCAF2 cells as described in b. Boxes represent 95% quartile, the centerline indicates the mean, and whiskers indicate the range. d . Quantification of the cytoplasmic to nuclear ratio of JNK reporter signal in AGS-B18 cells co-cultured with AGS cells transfected with either membrane GFP (control), ROR2, ROR2, and WNT5A, or dominant negative ROR23i plus WNT5A as indicated. e . The intensity of ROR2-BFP was quantified in AGS-B18 receiving cells following co-culture with pCAF2 transfected with ROR2-BFP. Values were plotted against corresponding cytoplasmic/nuclear JNK reporter localization, and a simple linear regression was performed.
