The depletion of Kat2b impairs the recruitment of IFT and Hh components to primary cilia. (a, b) IFT components 6 h after serum starvation (early ciliogenesis). (a) Western blot data showed that protein levels of IFT components decreased in Kat2b silenced NIH/3T3 cells. (b) Fluorescence staining data revealed that the intensity of IFT components located in primary cilia was decreased in the stable Kat2b deleted cell. Scale bar: 2 μm (c-d) IFT components 24 h after serum starvation (maturated stage of ciliogenesis). (c) Western blot data show that protein levels of IFT components decreased in Kat2b silenced NIH/3T3 cells. (d) Immunocytochemistry data revealed that fluorescence intensity of IFT components located in primary cilia. Scale bar: 2 μm (e) Graphs showed fluorescence intensity of IFT25 and IFT52 under serum starvation 6 h, 24 h in stable Kat2b KO NIH3Te and control NIH3T3. (f) Immunocytochemistry data display that the fluorescence intensity of IFT25 and IFT52 (green) at primary cilia (red) in Kat2b KO MEF cells at 6 h and 24 h after serum starvation, respectively. Scale bar: 2 μm. (g) Graphs showed fluorescence intensity of IFT25 and IFT52 under serum starvation 6 h, 24 h in MEF cells. (h) Representative images displayed accumulation of IFT52 within cilia when treated garcinol and serum withdrawal 6 h, and below graph showed fluorescence intensity at cilia.
