Article Title: Sprint interval and traditional endurance training increase net intramuscular triglyceride breakdown and expression of perilipin 2 and 5

doi: 10.1113/jphysiol.2012.240952

Figure Lengend Snippet: Representative immunofluorescence images of PLIN5 (A), IMTG (B), and the merged images (C) with the yellow areas describing regions of overlap between PLIN5 and IMTG images. The yellow objects were then extracted (to measure the number of PLIN5-LDs; D), and the number subtracted from the total number of LDs to quantify the number of PLIN5-null-LD. The same procedure was used to obtain values of colocalization between PLIN2 and IMTG. White bar, 5 μm. The number of PLIN2-LD (filled bars) and PLIN2-null-LD (open bars) were quantified before (PreEx) and after exercise (PostEx), prior to (E) and following (F) training in both the SIT and ET groups. The same analysis was repeated for PLIN5 for pre- (G) and post-training (H). *Main effect of exercise bout (P < 0.05 vs. pre-exercise).

Article Snippet: The specificity of the PLIN5 antibody was confirmed in a competition experiment in which a PLIN5 recombinant peptide (Cat. no. NB110–60511PEP; Novus Biologicals, Cambridge, UK) was incubated with the PLIN5 primary antibody, subsequently resulting in removal of the positive fluorescent signal for PLIN5 (Supplementary Fig. S1 ).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Representative immunofluorescence images of PLIN5 (stained green) in combination with WGA to identify the cell border (stained blue) in skeletal muscle, pre- (A) and post- (B) 6 weeks of SIT. Type I fibres are indicated with a ‘I’, all other fibres are assumed type II fibres. White bar, 50 μm. PLIN5 expression, quantified from immunofluorescence images of PLIN5, in type I and type II fibres obtained before (C) and after (D) 6 weeks of SIT (filled bars) or ET (open bars). PLIN5 expression quantified from immunofluorescence images correlated with PLIN5 expression determined following immunoblotting of whole muscle homogenates (E). Values are presented as means ± SEM (n= 8 per group). *Main effect of fibre type (P < 0.05 vs. type I fibres). †Main effect of training intervention (P < 0.05 vs. pre-training).

Article Title: Aurora A kinase phosphorylates Hec1 to regulate metaphase kinetochore–microtubule dynamics

doi: 10.1083/jcb.201707160

Figure Lengend Snippet: Hec1 S69 is phosphorylated throughout mitosis. (A) Amino acid sequences of the human and PtK1 cell Hec1 N-terminal tail domain. Shown in yellow is the human peptide sequence that was used to generate the S69 phosphospecific antibody. The arrow points to S69 in the human sequence and the corresponding serine residue in the PtK1 sequence. Asterisks indicate all other mapped Aurora B kinase sites in the human Hec1 tail domain ( ; ). (B) Immunofluorescence images of HeLa cells stained with phosphospecific antibodies to Hec1 pS69. Depletion of Hec1 (bottom) results in loss of pS69 staining at kinetochores. Cells are also immunostained with antibody 9G3 (pan-Hec1 antibody) and an anticentromere antibody (ACA) derived from human calcinosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, esophageal dysmotility, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasia (CREST) patient serum. (C) Immunofluorescence images of HeLa cells demonstrating kinetochore localization of pS69 during mitosis. Quantification is shown on the right. For each phase shown, ≥400 kinetochores from ≥30 cells were measured. (D) Immunofluorescence images of a HeLa cell stained with antibodies to pS69 and Mad2. For the cell shown, most chromosomes are aligned at the spindle equator, and one chromosome remains near a spindle pole (arrows). A schematic illustrating examples of pole-proximal chromosomes is shown on the left. (E) Immunofluorescence images of HeLa cells depleted of CENP-E to increase the number of pole-proximal chromosomes (arrows) and stained with Hec1 phosphospecific antibodies. Quantification is shown on the right from one representative experiment. n values are as follows: pS69, 20 polar kinetochores and 40 aligned kinetochores; pS55, 17 polar kinetochores and 57 aligned kinetochores; and pS44, 13 polar kinetochores and 29 aligned kinetochores. Error bars indicate SD. Bars: (B, C, and E) 10 µm; (D) 3 µm.
