The plasmids pLacIOP (referred to as mock) and pLacIOP-caveolin-1 (referred to as CAV1, containing the full-length dog caveolin-1 sequence, NCBI Reference Sequence: NP_001003296.1) were previously described [42 (link), 90 (link)]. B16F10 cells were grown to 50-60% confluence in 6 multi-well plates and then transfected with 4 μg of pLacIOP-CAV1(Y14F) (referred as CAV1/Y14F) and pLacIOP-CAV1(Y14E) (referred as CAV1/Y14E), using the FuGene HD reagent, according to the manufacturer's indications. After transfection, cells were plated in complete RPMI medium containing hygromycin (750 μg/mL) for 2 to 3 weeks, to yield stably transfected B16F10(CAV1/Y14F) and B16F10(CAV1/Y14E) cells, respectively.
