For live cell imaging, cells were cultured in CO₂ independent media (Invitrogen) with 50-100 ng/ml Hoechst33342 for 30 min prior to observation. Immunofluorescence in human cells was conducted as described previously^{22 (link)} using antibodies against fibronectin (a generous gift from Richard Hynes, 1:10,000), tubulin (DM1α; Sigma, 1:500), p150 dynactin (610473, BD transduction Laboratories, 1:500), Gαi-1 (sc-56536, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 1:200), and NuMA (ab36999, Abcam, 1:1,000). To test spindle orientation, cells were plated on L-patterned fibronectin coated coverslips (CYTOO). For RNAi experiments on patterned coverslips, cells were synchronized using a double thymidine block prior to plating.
Images were acquired on a DeltaVision Core microscope (Applied Precision) equipped with a CoolSnap HQ2 CCD camera. 30 to 40 Z-sections were acquired at 0.5-μm steps using Olympus 40x, 1.35 NA U-PlanApo, 20x, 0.75 NA UApo, or a 4x, 0.16 NA U-PlanSApo objective with 1×1 binning. Images were deconvolved using the DeltaVision software. Equivalent exposure conditions and scaling was used as appropriate. Fluorescence intensity and distance measurements were analyzed using Softworx (Applied Precision) and Metamorph (Molecular Devices). Line scans were generated using Metamorph (Molecular Devices). Kymographs were generated using Photoshop (Adobe).

Automated Image Quantification of Cellular Reporters

Cited 5 times

Image quantification was performed with CellProfiler version 2.1.1 (Kamentsky et al. 2011 (link)) with an in-house developed module implementing the watershed masked algorithm for segmentation (Di et al. 2012 (link)). The watershed separates an image in regions with single cells followed by pixel classification for each region as fore- or background, and this method performs well detecting the Hoechst₃₃₃₄₂ stained nuclei of the closely packed HepG2 cells. The binary mask containing the segmented nuclei was fed to the identify-primary-objects module, overlap-based-tracking module and intensity-nuclei-size-shape-measurement modules of CellProfiler. For the cytosol location of the Srxn1-GFP, Btg2-GFP and BiP-GFP reporters, the nuclear objects were used as seeds for the identify-secondary-objects module set to a propagation method with the MCT algorithm on adaptive (window size approximately 20 pixels) segmentation. The Keap1-GFP and 53bp1-GFP reporters are based on foci detection. The nuclei are segmented and used as seeds for the cytosol identification using the cytosolic GFP signal for the Keap1-GFP cell line. The foci detection is performed with the FociPicker3D plug-in (Du et al. 2011 (link)) in ImageJ, and each individual focus is assigned to either the nuclei (for 53bp1) or cytosol (Keap1) using the CellProfiler assign parent–child relationship module. The p21, p53, Nrf2, Xbp1, Atf4 and Chop reporters are based on quantifying the GFP signal in the nuclei. The nuclei signal is segmented, and these regions are directly used to quantify the GFP intensity. Segmentation results were stored as PNG files for quality control purposes, and CellProfiler pipelines were stored for reproducibility. Image analysis results were stored on the local machine as HDF5 files.
