IFT88orpkcells exhibit decreased cortical tension and increased deformability of F-actin cortex. (A) IFT88orpk cells exhibit decreased cortical tension compared with WT cells. Data represents median and quartiles (N = 20 and 17). Data was analysed by Mann–Whitney U test. (B) IFT88orpk cells exhibit a significant increase in aspiration length before bleb formation. Data represents median and quartiles (N = 27 and 36). Data was analysed by Mann–Whitney U test. (C) Representative confocal images showing a LifeAct-GFP tagged cell exhibiting no blebs during aspiration. White arrows indicate the leading edge of cortical F-actin and black arrows for the leading edge of cell membrane. (D) Instantaneous modulus and (E) equilibrium modulus for cells exhibiting no blebs were estimated using SLS model. Data represents median and quartiles (N = 10 and 21). Data was analysed by Mann–Whitney U test.
