F Serum-starved HUVECs were treated with conditioned medium for 15 min. Focal adhesion proteins were examined with anti-phosphoY397FAK and anti-vinculin antibodies. F-actin was stained with Alexa Fluor 546-conjugated phalloidin. Merged images show the coupling of stress fibers with focal adhesion complexes in the cells treated with control medium. Inset, phospho-Y397FAK and vinculin formed focal adhesions that were stained in an elongated dot-like structure (i). Lower panel (ii), Sema3C treatment induced F-actin disassembly and membrane ruffling. Phospho-Y397FAK and vinculin were randomly distributed at the peripheral membrane. Scale bars, 10 μm.
