Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were prepared from fresh human umbilical veins and maintained as previously described (Radwanska et al., 2017) . Fn1 fl/fl mouse kidney fibroblasts (MFs) were kindly provided by Dr. Reinhard Fässler [Max Planck Institute, Martinstread, Germany (Sakai et al., 2001) ]. The
HEK293FT cell line was from Life Technologies (Saint Aubin, France). All cells were cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM) containing
L-glutamine (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and 10%
fetal calf serum (FCS; 5% for signaling experiments) (Biowest, Nuaillé, France) in a humidified incubator at 37 o C with 5% CO2. For experiments, FN was depleted from FCS using
gelatin sepharose-4B columns (GE Healthcare, Uppsala, Sweden), and the culture medium was supplemented with Penicillin-Streptomycin 100 U/ml. No coating was performed on culture dishes and coverslips unless otherwise stated. Absence of Mycoplasma sp. contamination was routinely verified by PCR as described elsewhere (Kong et al., 2001) .
