Figure Lengend Snippet: A-B, Volcano plot (A) and GO term enrichment analysis (STRING) (B) of the proteins physically associated with miP-PSTPIP2 (versus rabbit IgGs; CTL) in human endothelial cells treated with IL-1β; n=3 independent cell batches. The dashed lines mark the significance threshold (P value: 0.05). C, Representative confocal images showing miP-PSTPIP2 and F-actin in human endothelial cells. Nuclei were stained with DAPI. Scale bar: 10 µm D, Co-immunoprecipitation (IP) of miP-PSTPIP2 and β-actin or DAAM1 from human endothelial cell lysates. Similar results were obtained using 2 additional cell batches. E-F, Representative confocal images of the interaction (proximity ligation assay: PLA) between miP-PSTPIP2 and caveoilin-1 (CAV1) (E) or Clathrin Heavy Chain (CHC) (F) in human endothelial cells; Scale bar: 10 µm. Similar results were obtained in 3 additional cell batches. G, Co-immunoprecipitation (IP) of miP-PSTPIP2 and CAV1 or CHC from human endothelial cell lysates. Similar results were obtained using 3 additional cell batches. H, Representative confocal images of AP2A1 and miP-PSTPIP2 in human endothelial cells; Scale bar: 50 µm. Similar results were obtained in 3 additional cell batches.

Figure Lengend Snippet: A, Western blot analysis and quantification of clathrin heavy chain (CHC), low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), Caveolin-1 (CAV1), AP-2 complex subunit alpha-1 (AP2A1), phospho (p-AP2M1) and total AP-2 complex subunit mu (AP2M1) expression in human endothelial cells overexpressing miP-PSTPIP2 (miP) or EGFP as control (CTL). β-Actin or GAPDH were used as loading controls; n=4 independent cell batches. C, Flow cytometry analysis of surface LDLR expression in human endothelial cells overexpressing miP-PSTPIP2 (miP) or EGFP (CTL). Data are shown as mean fluorescence intensity (MFI); n=4 independent cell batches. D, Representative Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy images of miP-PSTPIP2 and transferrin in human endothelial cells starved of serum overnight and subsequently incubated with AF555–transferrin for 1, 5 or 15 minutes. n=3 independent experiments; scale bar: 20 µm. All statistical analyses were performed using unpaired Student’s t-tests.
