Fig. 2. Lp-EVs are shed during infection and contain RsmY.

A Representative images of three independent experiments from FISH analyses using probes specific for RsmY. hMDM cells incubated with purified DiD-labelled Lp-EVs. Internalized, DiD-labelled Lp-EVs (white) 5 h post-infection. Blue, nucleus fluorescently stained using Hoechst 33342. B Human bone osteosarcoma epithelial cells stably expressing Sec61β-GFP for ER labelling (U2OS- Secβ61β cells; first three panels) and human monocyte-derived macrophages (hMDM) (right panel) were infected with DiD-labelled L. pneumophila grown until post-exponential phase (OD4.2). Images of living infected U2OS- Secβ61β cells after 1, 4, and 7 h of infection at 37 °C (5% CO2) taken with an automated confocal microscope (Opera) are shown. Upper panel shows the cells with the green florescence labelling of the ER, lower panel shows the same cells without the green channel. Representative images of three independent experiments. White: DiD-labelled L. pneumophila and DiD-labelled Lp-EVs shed during infection; Green: ER; Blue: Nucleus (Hoechst 33342). Right panel shows fixed hMDM cells, 5 h post-infection, analyzed by confocal microscopy. White: L. pneumophila and Lp-EVs; Blue: Nucleus (Hoechst 33342).
