Cells lacking caveolin-1 show accelerated turnover of nascent adhesions at protruding areas. (a) Cells were transiently transfected with pEGFP-paxillin and plated on an Fn matrix, and turnover of newly forming adhesions in protruding areas was monitored by time-lapse video microscopy. Seven frames of two representative cells are shown. The lifetime of several adhesions was followed and pointed with colored arrowheads. Each color indicates a different adhesion. Bars, 20 μm. (b) The lifetimes of adhesions were determined in 16 WT cells (274 FAs), 15 Cav1−/− MEFs (376 FAs), and 10 Cav1−/− MEFs reconstituted with caveolin-1 (354 FAs). Values are means ± SEM. *, Statistically significant versus WT MEFs; #, statistically significant versus Cav1−/− MEFs.
