Figure 7.

Calpain inhibitors and dominant-negative μ-calpain prevent formation of integrin-containing clusters. (A) BAE cells were detached and replated on fibronectin-coated coverslips in the presence of calpeptin (100 μg/ml) or MDL (250 μM) for 1 h, fixed, and permeabilized. Cells were stained with antibodies against β3 integrin, actin filaments were detected with TRITC-labeled phalloidin. (B) BAE cells were grown to 80% confluency and transiently transfected with plasmid encoding HA-tagged dominant-negative μ-calpain. Cells were detached and replated on fibronectin-coated coverslips for 1–3 h, fixed, and permeabilized. Cells were stained with antibodies against vinculin. Transfected cells were detected with HA-myc antibody and actin filaments were detected with TRITC-labeled phalloidin. Two independent fields are shown. Bar, 20 μm.
