Figure S1. The Presence of Laminin in the ECM Reduces Apoptosis in Lumen Clearance (A and B) Effect of laminin on polarity, lumen formation, and apoptosis. MDCK cells were plated to form cysts in collagen (A) or LGF Matrigel (B). Cells were fixed at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 10 days and stained to detect gp135 (red), ZO-1 or caspase-3 (green), and nuclei (lower panels). Images in the top row of (A) and bottom row of (B) are merged with DIC. Arrowheads indicate tight junctions in cells growing in Matrigel. Scale bars represent 5 μm.
