Figure 6: Nck is differentially distributed in the absence of WIP or WIRE.

From: WIP and WICH/WIRE co-ordinately control invadopodium formation and maturation in human breast cancer cell invasion

Figure 6

shControl, shWIP and shWIRE MDA-MB-231 cells were allowed to invade rhodamine-gelatin (red, 5 h). (a) Cells were fixed and stained for F-actin (green) and Nck (cyan). Bars: 10 μm. (b) Normalized contour map from insets in (a), dark tones indicate high protein expression and light tones, low expression. (c) Profiles of fluorescence intensity of F-actin (green), Nck (blue) and gelatin (red). Profiles were traced in areas containing invadopodia (when present) and represent average measurements of a 10-pixel range. PM = plasma membrane, PN = perinuclear, IN = invadopodium.
