LB1 depletion induces immediate lamin A/C meshwork disorganization. (A) Immunofluorescence of mNeonGreen and lamin A/C after 0, 2, 4, 8, and 16 h of auxin treatment in mNG-AID-LB1 cells; scale bar, 10 µm. (B) Normalized mNeonGreen intensity after 0, 2, 4, 8, and 16 h of auxin treatment in mNG-AID-LB1 cells. (C) The percentage of nuclei with lamin A/C defects detected by blinded categorical scoring after 0, 2, 4, 8, and 16 h of auxin treatment in mNG-AID-LB1 cells. In B and C, ns indicates p > 0.05; *, p < 0.05; ***, p < 0.001 by one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett's multiple comparisons test. Average values of three independent replicate experiments shown; n > 350 cells analyzed per condition. (D) Representative masks of lamin A/C immunostaining in mNG-AID-LB1 cells after 0 h (left) or 16 h (right) of auxin treatment. (E) Summary plot of the percentage of nuclei with contiguous lamin A/C (<1% lamin A/C-free nuclear surface), with gaps in the lamin A/C meshwork covering >1% of the nuclear surface (orange), or with gaps covering >10% of the nuclear surface (red) in mNG-AID-LB1 cells after 0 h (n = 542) or 16 h (n = 522) auxin treatment. ****, p < 0.0001 by the Fisher's exact test. (F) Normalized histograms of the percentage of lamin A/C-free nuclear surface area in mNG-AID-LB1 cells after 0 h (n = 542) or 16 h (n = 522) auxin treatment. Curves indicate mean and error bars indicate SD of three independent replicate experiments. (G) Immunofluorescence of mNeonGreen and lamin A/C after 16 h of DMSO or auxin treatment in mNG-AID-LB2 cells. (H) Normalized mNeonGreen intensity after 16 h of DMSO or auxin treatment in mNG-AID-LB2 cells. (I) The percentage of nuclei with lamin A/C defects detected by blinded categorical scoring after 16 h of DMSO or auxin treatment in mNG-AID-LB2 cells. In H and I, ***, p < 0.001 and ns indicates p > 0.05 by the pairwise t test. n > 300 cells analyzed per condition in three independent replicate experiments.
