Figure Lengend Snippet: Regulation of IRS2 intracellular localization. A , schematic of WT-IRS2 and IRS2-deletion mutants showing a putative nuclear export signal (NES). B , DFN-IRS2 (KI) MDA-MB-231 cells were imaged in a complete culture medium in the presence or absence of Leptomycin B over 8 h, and images from specific time points are shown. The data in the graphs represent the nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio of DFN-IRS2 at each time point in individual cells (n = 7) from a representative experiment. Colored arrows track individual cells over time. Scale bars = 10 μm. C , MDA-MB-231 DFN-IRS2 KI cells were imaged in a complete culture medium in the presence or absence of Leptomycin B for 8 h. Representative images from 0, 4, and 8 h are shown. The data in the graphs represent the mean ± S.D. of the nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio of DFN-IRS2 at each time point (n = 17). Scale bars = 10 μm. D , SUM-159 cells transfected with HA-tagged WT-IRS2 and IRS2 deletion mutants (shown in A) were fixed and stained with HA antibodies (green) and DAPI (blue). The data shown in the graph represent the mean ± S.D. of IRS2 expression in the nucleus from a representative experiment performed three independent times (n = 40–43 cells). Scale bars = 50 μm. Top right, immunoblot of exogenous IRS2 expression. ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001.
