CSN5i-3 disrupts endothelial barrier integrity and differentially affects Cullin-1, -2 and -3. (A) Time course of normalized endothelial resistance of HUVEC monolayers during CSN5i-3 treatment in different concentrations. (B) Normalized endothelial resistance at timepoint 5 hours after CSN5i-3 treatment in different concentrations. *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001 compared to control in Dunnet’s post-hoc test of one-way ANOVA (n = 4). (C) Macromolecule passage (Horseradish peroxidase, HRP) across HUVEC monolayers during CSN5i-3 treatment **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001 compared to control in Tukey’s post-hoc test of two-way repeated measures ANOVA (n = 3 independent experiments). (D) Western blot analysis of Cullin-1, Cullin-2 and Cullin-3 after 5 hours of CSN5i-3 treatment (1 μM or 4 μM). ERK1/2 was used as loading control. Blot images were cropped for clarity of presentation (full blots are in Supplemental Fig. 3). (E) Quantification of neddylated versus unneddylated Cullin-1, Cullin-2 and Cullin-3 after CSN5i-3 treatment. *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001 compared to control in Dunnett’s post-hoc test of one-way ANOVA (n = 3 independent experiments). (F) Quantification of total Cullin-1, Cullin-2 and Cullin-3 levels after CSN5i-3 treatment. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 compared to control in Dunnett’s post-hoc test of one-way ANOVA (n = 3).
