Expression of Endo180 is sufficient to confer a sense of direction up a concentration gradient of uPA. (A) FACS analysis of Endo180 and uPAR cell surface expression levels in MCF-7 cells transfected with vector alone (green), wild-type Endo180 (red), or Endo180(Ala1468/Ala1469) (blue). Profiles in black represent vector transfected cells incubated with secondary antibody alone. (B) Mean migratory speed of transfected MCF-7. The directional data are summarized in a circular histogram showing the number of cells lying within each 18° interval. The mean direction and its 95% confidence interval are represented as a red arrow and green sector, respectively. (C, D) Chemotactic response of untreated or mAb A5/158-treated transfected MCF-7 cells in a gradient of uPA or EGF. Data shown in B–D includes analysis of >70 cells pooled from at least three experiments. Cell directionality was determined using the Rayleigh test and a horizon distance which included 50% of all cells assayed for each treatment group. (C and D) The directional data are summarized in a circular histogram showing the number of cells lying within each 18 degree interval. The mean direction and its 95% confidence interval are represented as a red arrow and green sector, respectively.
