Extended Data Fig. 15: Curved adhesions facilitate cell migration in 3D ECMs.

Extended Data Fig. 15:

Representative 3D images of A549 cells (top) and HeLa cells (bottom) in 3D matrices after 72-hr culture. Cells were transduced to express GFP-CaaX via lentiviral infection. In the x-y projections, cells are colour-coded according to their depth in the matrix. In the x-z projections, cells are coloured in green and merged with the ECM (magenta). Cells can infiltrate into 3D matrices of vitronectin fibres, but not into 3D matrices of pure collagen fibres. The shRNA knockdown of FCHo2, ITGβ5, or both significantly inhibit cell infiltrations into 3D ECMs. Scale bars: 100 μm.
