Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Western blot analysis of HUVECs transfected with siControl , siEPHB4 or siCAV1 , as indicated. Knockdown cells showed a reduction of CAV1 and pCAV1 protein levels. N = 3 for all treatments. ( B ) Src input total cell lysate (TL) and tyrosine phosphorylation of immunoprecipitated (IP) Src in siRNA-treated HUVECs. Bottom panels show levels of CD36 and GAPDH (loading control). N = 3 for all treatments. ( C ) Quantitation of immunoblots for levels of EphB4, CAV1, pCAV1, CD36, pSrc/Src and ratio of pSrc/Src/ input. N = 3 for all treatments. Data represented as mean ± s.e.m. P values calculated by ordinary one-way ANOVA with Sidak’s multiple comparisons test. ( D ) Confocal images of siRNA-transfected HUVECs stained with CAV1 or pCAV1 (red), GM130 (green), VE-Cadherin (CDH5; white) and nuclei (DAPI; blue). Bottom panels show surface CD36 (red), Phalloidin (white), and nuclei (DAPI; blue). ( E ) Quantitation of CAV1, pCAV1 and CD36 MFI per whole cell and of surface CD36 signal of immunostained HUVECs, as shown in ( D ). N = 3 experiments for CAV1 and pCAV1, in each of them 30 cells were quantified from three images (10 cells/ image). N=3 for CD36 surface staining, in which three images/experiment were quantified for all siRNA conditions. Data represented as mean ± s.e.m. P values calculated by ordinary one-way ANOVA with Sidak’s multiple comparisons test. MFI, mean fluorescence intensity; ns, not significant. Figure 7—source data 1. Source data for .
