Effect of NO inhibitors or NO donors on cell migration. cells were treated with the vehicle, for 24 hours. (A) Representative wound-healing assay images for MDA-MB-231 cells treated with the vehicle (0.5% PBS), L-NAME (5 mM), 1400W (2 mM) or PAPA NONOate (50 μM). Images were taken at 0 and 24 hours to wound closure (the lines show wound edges). (B) Bar plot representing quantitative analyses of total covered area at 24 hours after scratching. (C) Representative images of migration assay showing cell tracking after a 24-hour period using a time-lapse microscope. (D) Bar plot representing quantitative analyses of migration speed. The data shown here are representative of three independent experiments; 40 cells were analysed in each experiment. Dunnett’s test comparison test was performed following a confirmed statistical difference using one-way ANOVA. *p<0.05, **p<0.01 and ***p<0.01. Results are presented as mean ± SEM

Effect of NO inhibitors or NO donors on FA turnover duration. MDA-MB-231 cells transfected with zyxin-mCherry were treated with the vehicle (0.5% PBS), L-NAME (5 mM), 1400W (2 mM) or PAPA NONOate (50 μM) for 10 minutes and were subsequently imaged using live-cell imaging.

The data include three biological independent experiments; 100 zyxin-containing FA were used to assess the duration of FA turnover across 24 cells (per experiment). Dunnett’s test comparison test was performed following a confirmed statistical difference using one-way ANOVA. *p<0.05 and **p<0.01. Results are presented as mean ± SEM. The scale bar represents 10 μm

Yellow arrows indicate EEA1-positive endosomes and Rab5-positive vesicles. The scale bar represents 50 μm. One-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparison test were used to compare each treatment with the control. Results are presented as mean ± SEM. The data include three independent experiments, in each experiment consisted of at least 80 cells that were analysed. Statistical significance differences were accepted at *p<0.05 and **p<0.01

Cellular localisation of eNOS and iNOS with EEA1. (A) Confocal images of the localisation between eNOS and EEA1 and between iNOS and EEA1. Immunocytochemistry was performed on fixed cells. The correlation between the localisation of eNOS (green) and EEA1 (red) and between the localisation of iNOS (green) and EEA1 (red) was determined with the Spearman’s (rho) correlation coefficient. Yellow arrows indicate regions of co-localisation. Three independent experiments were performed. (B) S-nitrosylation of early endosomal proteins. Representative immoblotting images showing S-nitrosylation in early endosomal proteins (EEA1, Rab5A and APPL1). No S-nitrosylation was found in nuclear proteins (H2B) and ubiquitin. MDA-MB-231 cell lysate treated with 100 μM HgCl2 displayed no S-nitrosylated proteins. Three independent experiments were performed. List of proteins with cysteine residues (highlighted in red) with predicted S-nitrosylation
