Dependence of membrane elastic moduli on F-actin disruption. (A) Sections of representative traces of approach force curves for lat-A-treated cells (1 μM for 10 min), exposed to an osmotic challenge. (B) Histograms of membrane elastic moduli of lat-A-treated cells exposed to isotonic (left) and hypotonic (right) solutions. (C) Mean membrane elastic moduli of lat-A-treated cells exposed to isotonic and hypotonic solutions. (D) Time dependence of membrane elastic moduli changes for lat-A-treated cells exposed first to isotonic and then hypotonic solutions (n = 15–60 cells; p < 0.05).
