Figure Lengend Snippet: CLCa depletion significantly inhibits spreading-induced signaling. (A) siRNA-transfected cells held in suspension for 1 h (left panel) or plated on collagen IV-coated dishes for the indicated times (minutes, right panel) were lysed and subjected to western blotting with anti-active FAK [pFAK(Y397)], active Src [pSrc(Y416)] and anti-phosphorylated paxillin [pPax(Y118)] antibodies. (B) Protein phosphorylation in control cells at 30 min after plating was set as 100%. The results represent a summary from five to seven experiments. *P<0.05; **P<0.01. (C) Lysates from plated cells treated as in A were analyzed by western blotting with antibodies against Src-dependent FAK phosphorylation sites (Y576 and Y925). The blots shown represent one of three independent experiments.
