β5 integrin (but not β3 integrin)
codistributes with internalized ROS. Confocal microscopy sections of
RPE-J cells reveal diffuse localization of β5 and β3 integrin when
not challenged with ROS (A, β5, and C,
β3). After phagocytosis of Texas red-labeled ROS for 5 h, β5
integrin colocalized with phagocytosed ROS, appearing yellow
(B). In contrast, in similar samples β3 integrin and ROS
derived fluorescence were distinct and the β3 distribution pattern
was unaltered (D). Bars = 5 μm.
