Figure 4.
Expression of GFP-ASYN induced enlargement of Rab5 early endosomes in PC12 cells. PC12 cells were transfected with either GFP + mCherry-Rab5WT (A) or GFP-ASYN + mCherry-Rab5WT (B) for 48 hrs. Enlarged mCherry-Rab5 early endosomes typically seen in GFP-ASYN cells were indicated with arrow heads (B). The size of mCherry-Rab5 in A and B was quantitated and presented in C; and the size distribution of the mCherry-Rab5 early endosomes was presented in D. The p values are indicated and n.s. = non-significant.
