γ and β-actin isoforms differentially localize to cPM and pPM. a 3D-Airyscan images of a DC stained for γ (magenta) and β-actin (green). Insets depict a single podosome. b Average ± s.d. radial fluorescent intensity profile of γ and β-actin (n = 145 podosomes pooled from two independent experiments) at two different focal planes (z: 185 nm and z: 555 nm). c Quantification of the FWHM of the γ-actin fluorescent profile (n = 145 podosomes pooled from two independent experiments). d Quantification of the γ-actin ring diameter (n = 145 podosomes pooled from two independent experiments). e Dual-color STORM images of a DC stained for γ (magenta) and β-actin (green). Insets depict a single podosome. f Average radial orthogonal view of γ (magenta) and β-actin (green) acquired by STORM super-resolution. Bottom panel shows the merged images. g Schematic representation of the cPM and pPM in the podosome core. Scale bars: a = 2 µm, e = 1 µm, f = 0.5 µm; insets: a = 0.5 µm, e = 0.25 µm. FI fluorescent intensity, AU arbitrary units. Box plots indicate median (middle line), 25th, 75th percentile (box) and 5th and 95th percentile (whiskers) as well as outliers (single points).
