PDGF-induced fibroblast migration is blocked by expression of mutants interfering with the Cdc42/N-WASP pathway. (A) PDGF-induced migration of GFP transiently transfected NIH-3T3 cells was assayed in collagen VI–coated 96-well microchambers and quantitated by densitometry of the spots. Cell migration is expressed as a migration index and calculated as the x-fold increase over the negative control (unstimulated cells). Figure shows the mean of five experiments; SD is indicated. (B) Percent migration (induced by 10 ng/ml PDGF) of p110CAAX- or p85α stable transfectants compared with the migration of control stable transfectants (considered 100%). Figure shows the mean of three experiments; SD is indicated. (C) Percent migration (induced by 100 ng/ml PDGF) of cells transfected with a vector encoding GFP plus the different cDNAs (indicated), compared with the migration of control cells transfected only with cDNA encoding GFP (considered 100%). Figure shows the mean of four experiments; SD is indicated.
