Article Title: USP10 Promotes Fibronectin Recycling, Secretion, and Organization
doi: 10.1167/iovs.62.13.15
Figure Lengend Snippet: USP10 overexpression promoted integrin recycling and fibronectin endocytosis. ( A – F ) Live cell integrin recycling assay. HCFs were transfected with 2ug control or USP10 cDNA. 48 hours post transfection, integrin recycling was detected with anti-rabbit-488 antibody prior to imaging by live cell confocal microscopy. Scale bar : 50 µm. ( C ) Fluorescence intensity of α5β1 integrin recycling fold change (1.9; P < 0.001) and ( F ) αv (1.7; P < 0.05) when USP10 was overexpressed. ( G ) FN ELISA. HCFs were transfected with 2 µg control or USP10 cDNA. Twenty-four hours after transfection, HCFs were loaded with biotinylated FN for 3 hours prior to detachment and lysing. Endocytosed FN was quantified with the Quantikine ELISA kit. USP10 overexpression induced an increase internalized fibronectin fold change (2.1; P < 0.05, Student's t -test). Two primary cell lines (total N = 3 repeats). Five images per condition/per experiment were analyzed.
