The IFN-γ–dependent enlargement of the endocytic compartment in macrophages requires Rab20. (A) Distribution of EEA-1 in macrophages expressing scrambled shRNA (top) or Rab20 shRNA (bottom) with or without IFN-γ treatment. RAW264.7 macrophages expressing scrambled shRNA or Rab20 shRNA were treated with or without IFN-γ for 16–20 h and fixed for immunofluorescence. Scale bar, 10 μm. (B) Quantitative analysis of the area of EEA-1–positive structures in macrophages expressing scrambled shRNA or Rab20 shRNA with or without IFN-γ treatment. For each group, at least 20 cells were analyzed. Data show mean ± SD of three independent experiments. The p values were calculated using Student's two-tailed t test. *p ≤ 0.05. (C) Distribution of endogenous LAMP-2 in macrophages expressing scrambled shRNA (top) or Rab20 shRNA (bottom) with or without IFN-γ treatment. RAW264.7 macrophages expressing scrambled shRNA or Rab20 shRNA were stimulated with IFN-γ or left untreated for 16–20 h and fixed for immunofluorescence. Scale bar, 10 μm. (D) Quantitative analysis of the area of LAMP-2–positive structures in macrophages expressing scrambled shRNA or Rab20 shRNA with or without IFN-γ treatment. For each group, at least 20 cells per experiment were analyzed. Data show mean ± SD of three independent experiments. The p values were calculated using Student's two-tailed t test. *p ≤ 0.05.
