For image data analysis, we used Harmony Software 4.8 (Perkin Elmer). The analysis was conducted using the following steps within the Analysis module of Harmony Software: (1) identifying the cell nucleus with the “Find Nuclei” algorithm using the Histone H1-mtagBFP2 channel, (2) detecting the cytoplasm boundaries of the identified cell nucleus using the “Find Cytoplasm” algorithm with the TUBB-mClover3 channel, and (3) analyzing the texture properties of the cytoplasm of each cell using the Haralick analysis option with default settings. The Haralick texture analysis option provides values for pixel correlation, contrast, homogeneity, and sum variance. For this study, we only evaluated changes in the mean pixel homogeneity values per each well.
