TMEFF2 inhibits Rho activation. RWPE2 cells expressing FL_TMEFF2, TMEFF2_ΔGA, or the vector were incubated in serum-free EpiLife CF/PRF medium for 3 days and then stimulated with 10% FBS for 2 min. Levels of GTP-bound RhoA were determined by G-LISA RhoA activation assays. Data are presented as mean ± SD of five independent experiments (top). Rhodamine phalloidin staining of the cells stimulated with 10% FBS for 10 min (bottom) demonstrating lack of stress fibers in the cells expressing FL_TMEFF2. Scale bar, 25 μm.
