Figure 2.

Cell polarity occurs in the absence of the nucleus. (A) Images and plots showing localization of centrosomes and nuclei from REF52 intact cells and cytoplasts plated on crossbow (intact cells, n = 39; cytoplasts, n = 35) and circle (intact cells, n = 34; cytoplasts, n = 31) patterns. (B) Mean y-coordinate distance ± 95% CI of centrosomes for REF52 intact cells and cytoplasts on crossbow and circle patterns. (C) Images and plots showing localization of Golgi and nuclei from REF52 cells plated on crossbow (intact cells, n = 100; cytoplasts, n = 86) and circle (intact cells, n = 78; cytoplasts, n = 57) patterns. (D) Mean y-coordinate distance ± 95% CI of Golgi for REF52 cells on crossbow and circle patterns. (E) Images and plots showing localization of centrosomes and nuclei from HUVEC intact cells and cytoplasts plated on crossbow (intact cells, n = 52; cytoplasts, n = 57) and triangle (intact cells, n = 50; cytoplasts, n = 49) patterns. (F) Mean y-coordinate distance ± 95% CI of centrosomes for HUVECs on crossbow and triangle patterns. All data are from at least three independent experiments. White dashed line circles in A, C, and E show a 30-µm-diameter region of interest. Bars, 25 µm.
