DBTA probe adhesion to signet ring cell colon carcinoma (SRCC) tissue is force-dependent. (a) Position profile of a P-selectin DBTA probe rolling on a tissue section (SRCC 48 y/o case) at 0.75 dyne/cm2. Video frame rate = 175 fps (Supplementary Video S8). (b) Velocity profile of the P-selectin DBTA probe tracked in (a). (c) Increasing levels of applied force initially increased then decreased the lifetime of P-selectin DBTA probe adhesion to SRCC tissue. Data shown are mean adhesion duration in seconds ± SD of 30 separate pauses at each wall shear stress collected in a 100 μm × 100 μm region. $F = 12.59 > F0.01, 6,273 = 2.80 (d) Increasing levels of applied force initially decreased then increased the off-rate (koff) of P-selectin DBTA probe from the SRCC tissue. Data shown represent the estimation of P-selectin DBTA probe koff using the method of maximum likelihood48 from 30 separate pauses at each wall shear stress. Error bars represent 95% CI. #Levene’s test = 4.0818 (equivalent to P = 0.0014).
