Fig. 2. FHOD1 induces cell elongation. (A) Fluorescent (left) and phase contrast (right) images of transduced and sorted NIH-3T3 cells showing the cell morphology of eGFP-expressing cells. Because the same vector encodes FHOD1 and eGFP, eGFP expression is used as a marker to detect FHOD1—expressing cells. (B) FHOD1-positive cell populations contain elongated cells. The length-to-width ratios of eGFP positive cells are plotted in the graph. The table indicates the mean and median values for the indicated population. *P<0.05 for FHOD1 versus MSCV and FHOD1 (1-421) cells.
