Distribution of α5 integrin and siRNA-mediated depletion of αv integrin in FNRGE/RGE cells. (A) Distribution of α5 and FN fibrils on wild-type (+/+) and FNRGE/RGE (RGE/RGE) cells cultured for 24 h on LM111-coated dishes in serum replacement medium. Note that α5 and FN colocalize in fibrillar adhesions (arrowheads) of wild-type cells, whereas α5 is diffusely distributed in FNRGE/RGE cells. (B) Knockdown of αv integrin in FNRGE/RGE cells by transduction with retrovirus carrying anti–αv siRNA (αv siRNA) or control siRNA (scr.-siRNA) expression cassettes. αv-depleted FNRGE/RGE cells were cultured for 48, 72, and 96 h on glass chamber slides coated with LM111 and stained for FN-RGE. Bars, 15 μm.
