Fig. 5. Rescuing EDAC on stiff ECM.

Fig. 5

a An illustration showing the experimental design for rescuing EDAC on stiff ECM and the effect of different mosaic populations on extrusion of transformed cells on stiff ECM. b–e Scatter bar plots depicting the fraction of GFP-HRasV12 expressing colonies extruded over substrates of varying stiffness. For each stiffness, left bars are for mock MDCK-WT: MDCK-HRasV12GFP and right bars are for mApple-dnFLNA-MDCK:MDCK-GFP-HRasV12 (b), MDCK-mApple-dnFAM101B:MDCK-GFP-HRasV12 (c), mApple-dnNesprin1-MDCK:MDCK-GFP-HRasV12 (d) or mApple-dnLaminB1-MDCK:MDCK-GFP-HRasV12 (e) mosaic populations. Stable expression of dnFLNA, dnFAM101B, dnNesprin1 or dnLaminB1 in surrounding cells rescued extrusion of transformed populations on the stiff substrate. The number of colonies counted is indicated inside each bar. Data are mean ± s.e.m. collected over three independent biological replicates. Statistical significance was assessed using Unpaired t-test with Welch’s correction (two-tailed). Significance value (when p < 0.0001) p = 9.27612e−09. Source data (b–e) are provided as a Source Data file. f Summary of the integrative mechanism that connects the processes occurring at different length scales. We elucidate matrix mechanics, a microenvironmental factor (a), influences the molecular dynamics of filamin (b and c) to determine the outcome of EDAC (d).
