Apilimod induces TGF-βR2 mislocalization to late-endosomes. (A) Serum-starved HeLa cells expressing flag-TGFβ-R2 were treated as indicated with Apilimod or DMSO, fixed and stained with an anti-flag antibody (green) and an anti-CD63 antibody (red). Bar is 10 µm. Right panel shows the quantification of colocalization. n = 17-37 cells across 3 independent experiments. Student's t-test (unpaired, two-tailed) ***p < 0.001. (B) Non-transfected (NT) or HEK cells expressing flag-TGFβ-R2 were serum-starved and treated with DMSO or Apilimod for the indicated times. Cell lysates were blotted with an anti-flag antibody to assess the amount of remaining flag-TGFβ-R2. RhoGDI was used as a loading control. n = 3 independent experiments.
