A – E , representative immunofluorescence micrographs of lipid-droplet staining (BODIPY 493/503; green ) in WT, Rab8a −/− , Rab8b KD , Rab8a −/− ;Rab8b KD , or Kif3a −/− MEFs after 2 weeks of induced adipocyte differentiation. Nuclei were stained in blue . F , quantifications for individual lipid-droplet diameter. G , quantifications for the overall areas of lipid droplets in WT, Rab8a −/− , Rab8b KD , Rab8a −/− ;Rab8b KD , or Kif3a −/− cultures. Data in panels F and G represent 171, 110, 242, 101, and 101 lipid droplets for each of above genotypes. p values were determined by one-way ANOVA. H , quantitative real-time RT-PCR of proadipocyte marker transcripts Glut4, Fabp4, and PPAR-γ in differentiated WT or Rab8a −/− ;Rab8b KD MEFs. p values were determined by Student's t test. ∗ p < 0.05, when compared with WT. MEFs, mouse embryonic fibroblasts.

    Intact cilia growth and partial structural defects in Rab8-deficient MEFs. A , representative immunofluorescent images of the primary cilia that were labeled by acetylated tubulin ( green ). The basal body was marked by γ-tubulin ( red ) and nuclei by DAPI ( blue ) in WT, Rab8a −/− , Rab8b KD , or Rab8a −/− ;Rab8b KD , and Kif3a −/−−/− MEFs. Cilia induction was observed after growth arrest on a time course of 48 h after serum starvation. B and C , quantification of the percentage of ciliated cells and the average length of a cilium that was measured in pixels. Graphs showed quantifications from six fields of each genotype, containing approximately 20 to 30 cells per time point. Experiments were repeated five times. D , representative immunofluorescence of ciliary defects. White arrowheads pointed to multiciliated cells, multiple cilia at one basal body, or multiple basal bodies in Rab8a −/− or Rab8a −/− ;Rab8b KD cells. MEFs, mouse embryonic fibroblasts.

    Aberrant Fzd2 translocation and processing in Rab8-deficient MEFs during adipogenic induction. A and B , representative immunofluorescent images of Smo or BBS1 that were localized at the primary cilia (acetylated tubulin; green ), in WT, Rab8a −/− , Rab8b KD , Rab8a −/− ;Rab8b KD , or Kif3a −/− MEFs. C and D , representative immunofluorescent images of Fzd2 ( red ) in MEFs before or 24 h after cilia induction. A diagram is used to summarize the findings in WT cells: Fzd2 appeared as a cilium-associated patch before induction; after induction, numerous Fzd2 puncta or vesicles appeared ( red dots ). White arrowheads point to increased Fzd2 puncta that were not associated with a cilium in Rab8a −/− and Rab8a −/− ;Rab8b KD MEFs before induction. Open white arrowheads point to cilia that were not associated with a patch of Fzd2. E , quantification of the percentage of cells with Fzd2 localized to the base of the primary cilium at 0 ( blue bar ) or 24 h ( red bar ) after cilia induction. F , western blots for Fzd2, Tcf1, and β-catenin were performed on total lysates of WT or Rab8-deficient MEFs under uninduced or induced conditions. Full-length Fzd2 was marked by a solid black arrowhead ; truncated Fzd2 marked by an empty arrowhead ; cleaved fragment marked by an asterisk . G , fold changes in Tcf1 protein abundance between uninduced and induced MEFs were quantified from three independent experiments. p values were determined by t test. MEF, mouse embryonic fibroblast.
