Exploring the Possible Role of Lysine Acetylation on Entamoeba histolytica Virulence: A Focus on the Dynamics of the Actin Cytoskeleton

Figure 4

Aspirin decreases amebic movement and capping process. (a) The movement of live trophozoites treated or not with 1 mM Aspirin was evaluated as described in Section 2; colors for tracks were generated randomly, so every track has different color. Results are representative of three independent experiments, and the analysis represents the comparison of 500 frames. (b) Capping produced in E. histolytica trophozoites following interaction with ConA. Actin was stained with rhodamine-phalloidin (red) (1 : 25) and nucleus with DAPI (blue) (1 : 300); ConA is coupled to FICT (green).
