Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Immunofluorescence staining of α5β1 integrin was performed to identify and quantify fibrillar adhesion in siRNA transfected cells plated overnight on glass coverslips (n=at least 15; N=3). ( B ) Immunofluorescence staining of FN was performed on siRNA transfected cells plated on glass coverslips and quantification on whole-coverslip scans is expressed as the ratio of FN-stained area to the number of cells (N=8). Representative 40x field views. ( C ) Representative high magnification images of FN staining are shown with areas between the dotted lines selected for fluorescence intensity profiles. ( D ) Western blot analysis of cell-associated FN in siRNA transfected cells with densitometric quantification indicated below (N=3). ( E ) qPCR analysis of total FN (tFN) and Extra Domain-containing isoform expression in siRNA transfected cells using the indicated qPCR primer pairs (N=7). ( F ) Measurements of Luciferase activity driven by the FN1 promoter when SAM68 is overexpressed (N=5). ( G ) DNA fragments located in the FN1 promoter were quantified by qPCR in anti-SAM68 or IgG immunoprecipitated complexes (N=3). Statistics: p-values: *<0.05 **<0.01 ***<0.001 ****<0.0001. Student’s t-test (paired CTRL-siSAM68) was used for ( A, B, D, E, F ). Statistical analysis of fold enrichment in ( G ) was performed with R using pairwise t-test with p-values adjusted using ‘Bonferroni correction’. Figure 5—source data 1.
