Panel A shows a live cell image of confined single molecule trajectories of CD36WT overlaid on SiR-Actin labeled actin cytoskeleton. The confined tracks are highlighted in blue. The scale bar represents 5 micrometers. Panel B shows a similar image for CD36G12V. Panel C is a line graph depicting actin intensity in arbitrary units measured at confined CD36WT tracks compared to the whole cell. The x-axis is labeled Actin Intensity with categories Confined Track and Whole Cell. The y-axis is labeled Actin Intensity (arbitrary units) and Cohen's d. Red and blue lines indicate local enrichment or depletion at confined tracks relative to whole cell levels. Panel D is a similar line graph for CD36G12V. The graphs show that confined CD36WT tracks tend to be in locations with higher than average cortical actin intensity, while confined CD36G12V trajectories do not. The error bars represent the 95 percent confidence interval obtained from 3000 bootstrap samples. The 95 percent confidence interval of CD36WT does not cross zero, indicating a significant difference between local and whole cell actin intensity, whereas the 95 percent confidence interval of CD36G12V crosses zero, indicating no significant difference.
Confined CD36 WT tracks tend to be in locations with higher-than-average cortical actin intensity, while confined CD36 G12V trajectories do not. (A and B) Representative live cell images of confined single-molecule trajectories of CD36WT (A) or of CD36G12V (B) overlaid on SiR-actin–labeled actin cytoskeleton. Scale bar, 5 μm. For visual clarity, only confined tracks are shown, while all other types (free, immobile, directed, or too short to classify) are not. (C and D) Actin intensity (in arbitrary units [A.U.]) measured at confined CD36 tracks or in the whole cell (i.e., average) for CD36WT (C) or CD36G12V (D). Lines connect paired measurements from individual cells, comparing actin intensity measured at confined tracks to whole cell actin intensity. Red/blue lines indicate local enrichment/depletion at confined tracks relative to whole cell levels. Paired, right-tailed Wilcoxon rank-sum test comparing the actin intensity at confined tracks vs. whole cell levels yields P = 0.0873 for CD36WT and P = 0.3706 for CD36G12V. The right y-axes show effect size (Cohen’s d) of local actin intensity relative to whole cell measurements. The error bar shows the 95% confidence interval obtained from 3,000 bootstrap samples. The 95% confidence interval of CD36WT does not cross zero (dashed gray line), indicating a significant difference between local and whole cell, while the 95% confidence interval of CD36G12V crosses zero, indicating a lack of difference between local and whole cell. N = 28 cells from three experimental repeats in C and 28 cells from two experimental repeats in D.
