A, Genotype analysis of genomic DNA extracted from hSO showing the PCR amplicon of LNPK. b, Representative western blotting image showing LNPK expression in LNPK KO and Cas9-CTL hSO derived from the SEC61B-mEGFP hiPS cells. GAPDH was used as a loading control. c, Quantification of LNPK abundance (n = 4, from 3 differentiations). d, Representative time-lapse sequences of SEC61B-mEGFP+ cells moving in a saltatory pattern in hSO assembled with an unlabeled hCO. ER displacement was detectable in the last three steps of the four in Cas9-CTL, but not in the LNPK KO. e, Percentage of SEC61B-mEGFP+ saltatory moving cells in the hSO side of the hFA showing ER displacement (hFA at 29–52 days after assembly. n = 15 hFA from one differentiation). * P = 0.0218, two-tailed Mann-Whitney test. f–h, Quantification of saltation length, number of saltations, and speed of movement of SEC61B-mEGFP+ cells in (d) (Cas9-CTL, n = 73 cells; LNPK KO, n = 68 cells). f, ** P = 0.0042, g, h **** P < 0.0001, two-tailed Mann-Whitney test. i, PCR analysis of hiPS cells showing the amplicon of ATL1. j, Representative western blotting image showing atlastin-1 abundance. GAPDH was used as a loading control. k, Quantification of atlatin-1 abundance (n = 5 from 4 differentiations). l, Schematic illustrating experimental design for performing live imaging on the hSO side of the hFA to observe saltatory migration. m, Percentage of saltatory migrating SEC61B-mEGFP+ cells showing ER displacement (Cas9-CTL, n = 46 cells from 12 hFA from 3 differentiations, 34 cells displayed ER displacement; ATL1 KO, n = 22 cells from 9 hFA from 2 differentiations, 8 cells displayed ER displacement; two-sided Chi-square test, ** P = 0.0029). n–p, Quantification of saltation length (n, ** P = 0.0067), number of saltations (o, P = 0.5891), and speed of movement (p, P = 0.2646) of SEC61B-mEGFP+ cells in (m) (Cas9-CTL, n = 46 cells, from 3 differentiations; ATL KO, n = 22 cells from 2 differentiations); two-tailed Mann-Whitney test. Data are presented as mean ± s.e.m. (c, e, f–h, k, n–p).
