LICs 1 and 2 act redundantly in bipolar spindle assembly in HeLaM cells. (A) HeLaM cells depleted of both LICs (LIC1&2) or DHC were labeled with anti–α-tubulin and DAPI. Maximum projections of deconvolved z series are shown. Cyan arrows show major poles; yellow arrowheads show minor poles. Bar, 5 µm. (B–D) Quantitation of HeLaM spindle morphology (see Results for details). (B) Both LICs, DHC, or Lamin A/C (LA) were depleted. (C) KnDs with scrambled (SC), LIC1, LIC2, or both LIC1 and 2 siRNAs. For B and C, ≥100 cells were scored per condition; the mean of three independent experiments ± SEM is shown. (D) HeLaM cells were depleted of both LICs for 48 h and then transfected RNAi-resistant LIC1-mKate or LIC2-mKate, with mKate as a control (115, 112, and 235 cells were scored, respectively, from three independent experiments; means ± SEM). Two-way ANOVA results versus controls: *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001; ****, P < 0.0001.
