Stiffness and PKC signaling increase CapZ FRAP dynamics that is diminished by PIP2 reduction, while β-tentacle-truncated CapZ is irresponsive to stimuli. (A and B) FRAP kinetics were measured on NRVMs plated on PAA substrates (10 kPa and 100 kPa) or glass and infected with CapZβ1-GFP (A) or CapZβ1ΔC-GFP virus (B). FRAP kinetics in untreated (UT; white bars) NRVMs or NRVMs treated with 500 µM neomycin for 30 min to reduce the PIP2 level (Neo; gray bars) or PMA for 30 min (black bars). (A) kFRAP is higher on 100-kPa substrates and glass relative to 10-kPa substrates (insert). kFRAP was low on 10-kPa substrates and not reduced further by neomycin. However, kFRAP on stiffer substrates (100 kPa) or glass were initially higher but significantly reduced by neomycin. PMA increased kFRAP on stiff substrates. (B) CapZβ1ΔC-GFP dynamics is insensitive to stiffness, neomycin, and PMA treatments (mean ± SEM, n = 6–16 in A and n = 4–9 in B; *, P < 0.05, ***, P < 0.01).
