Transient knockdown of Shrm2 regulates endothelial migration. (A) siControl, siShrm2, or untreated cells with Y27632 were subjected to a scratch wound assay and were stained with phalloidin at 1, 12, and 24 h postscratch. (B) Quantification of a scratch wound assay from live C166 cells treated with siControl or siShrm2, represented by the mean percentage of wound closure ± SD (n = 5). (C) Migration of siControl and siShrm2 C166 cells in the presence or absence of Y27632 was assessed with a Boyden chamber. (D) Migration of siControl and siShrm2-treated HUVEC cells in a Boyden chamber. The number of migrated nuclei is represented by the mean ± SEM (n = 6) in C and D. (E) Untreated C166 cells were scratch wounded and stained for Shrm2 and actin at 2, 12, and 24 h postscratch. Asterisks indicate cells that have detached from the epithelial sheet and have lost Shrm2 expression. (F and G) At 2 h after scratch wounding C166 cells, Rock1 localizes to the leading edge of siControl (F) but not siShrm2 (G) C166 cells. Immunostaining for β-catenin (Ei and Fi). Scale bars = 100 μm in A; 25 μm in B, E, and F.
