(a) RPE-1 cells treated with DMSO or MG132 were stained for CP110 and the indicated protein. Scale bar 2 μm. (b) The indicated cell lines were treated with MG132 and stained for pHSP27, CEP135 and PCM1. DNA was stained with DAPI. Scale bar 10 μm, inset 2 μm. (c) Quantification of the percentage cells forming an aggresome upon DMSO, MG132 and BZ treatment, as indicated. Data displayed as mean ± s.d., n = 3 independent experiments. ****p < 0.0001; ***p < 0.001. (d) RPE-1 cells treated with MG132 were stained for PCM1 and the indicated protein. Scale bar 2 μm. (e) Histogram showing the percentage of cells with greater than 4 foci of CEP135, SAS6, GT335, CETN2, CP110 and CEP97 following MG132 treatment. Data displayed as mean ± s.d., n = 3 independent experiments. ****p < 0.0001; ***p < 0.001; ns, not significant. p values: 0.218071 (CEP135), 0.058423 (SAS6), 0.160943 (GT335), 0.000219 (CETN2), 0.000055 (CP110), and 0.000150 (CEP97). (f) TEM images of centrioles from RPE-1 cells treated with DMSO or MG132. Scale bar 500 nm. (g) RPE-1 cells treated with DMSO or MG132 for 5 hours were stained for PCM1, pHSP27 and the indicated protein. Scale bar 2 μm. (h) Super resolution images of aggresomes in MG132 treated RPE-1 cells stained as indicated. Scale bar 1 μm. (i) Co-localization between the indicated protein pairs from individual z-planes of super resolution images of RPE-1 cells treated with MG132 displayed using Pearson correlation co-efficient. Boxes represent the median, upper and lower quartiles, whiskers represent 1.5x the interquartile range, with individual values from two independent experiments superimposed. For c,e: p determined by two-tailed unpaired Student’s t-test. Numerical data and p values are provided as source data.
