Fig. 7. LRP-knockout fibroblasts are migration deficient. (A) Wild-type and
LRP-knockout (KO) MEF migration in response to serum-free media, with or
without hep I (100 nM), TSP1 (7.8 nM) or FBS (0.1%), was assessed as
previously described. Average cell migration speed under each condition was
determined by dividing total migration distance by the total time of the
assay. At least 75 cells were analyzed for each condition. n=3-4,
*P<0.05, **P<0.01. (B) Percent of cells migrating
under each condition was determined by dividing the number of cells migrating
at least 0.06 microns/minute by the total number of cells. At least 75 cells
were analyzed for each condition. n=3-4, *P<0.05,
**P<0.01. (C) Total cellular displacement was determined as the
difference between final cell position and initial cell position. At least 75
cells were analyzed for each condition. n=3-4, *P<0.05,
**P<0.01, ***P<0.001. (D) Directionality of cell
migration was determined by dividing the total cellular displacement by the
total distance of migration. Under this method, a purely directional response
will show a ratio of 1, whereas increasingly random migration responses will
show ratios approaching zero. At least 75 cells were analyzed for each
condition. n=3-4, *P<0.05, **P<0.01,
***P<0.001.
