Figure 6.

PIKfyve inhibition doesn’t affect the endocytosis of PFFs. (A–I) iNs were incubated with (A and B) 20 µg/ml Transferrin AF647 for 5 min, (C and D) 20 µg/ml Dextran-AF647 for 2 h, or (E and F) 4 µg/ml PFF-AF647 for 3 days, in the absence (A, D, and G) or presence (B, E, and H) of 100 nM Apilimod. Cells were imaged using live-cell 3D spinning-disc confocal microscopy. Maximum z-projection images are representative of three biological replicates for A and B and four biological replicates for D–H. Cells are outlined with dotted lines. Scale bar: 10 µm. Insets show a 3× magnification with a scale bar of 3.3 µm. (C, F, and I) Quantitative analysis shows that 100 nM Apilimod did not affect the uptake of Transferrin, Dextran-AF647, or PFF-AF647. Each dot represents the total relative fluorescence intensity per cell for each internalized cargo. The number of cells analyzed is indicated.
