(B) HUVECs during 2D wound healing assay stained for CAMSAP2 (green), Golgi (GM130, red), F-actin (phalloidin, white) and DNA (DAPI, blue). Z-maximum projections of confocal images are shown; the arrow points toward the wound. Colored arrowheads show distinct cell behaviors quantified in the plot on the right, n = 70 and 79 cells in two independent experiments. Orange arrowhead, lamellipodia and the Golgi face the wound, green arrowhead, lamellipodia do not face the wound but align with the Golgi, grey arrowhead, lamellipodia and Golgi not aligned. (C) Rab6 vesicle tracks in HUVECs transfected with control or CAMSAP2 siRNA. Fluorescence time-lapse TIRF images of GFP-Rab6A at the front cell row in a wound healing assay were tracked automatically. Maximum intensity projections of the acquired signal (black, top) and tracks resulting from automatic processing (multicolor, bottom) are shown.

Z-maximum projections of confocal images are shown; in the zoomed images, arrows point to the Golgi positioned in the direction of sprouting in control cells and behind the nuclei in CAMSAP2-depleted cells. Plot shows the proportion of cells at the spheroid periphery with polarized Golgi (defined as having their Golgi jutting out more than 50% of their surface area in front of the nucleus); the green and orange arrowheads point to cells containing polarized or non-polarized Golgi, respectively; n = 10 spheroids per condition. (E) Kymographs illustrating transport of exocytotic vesicles labeled with GFP-Rab6A in the major (longest) and the other (minor) protrusions in control or CAMSAP2-depleted HUVECs. The number of anterograde and retrograde tracks in the major and minor protrusion(s) was quantified for each condition and normalized by the anterograde track number in the major protrusion (plot), n = 20 and 17 cells in two independent experiments. Data are shown using box plots; Mann-Whitney U test (: ***p<0.001, **p<0.01, *p<0,05, ns, no significant difference.

CAMSAP2 plays a role in sprouting angiogenesis in vivo.

(A) Live confocal images (Z-maximum projections) of 48 hpf Tg(Fli1ep:Lifeact-EGFP) embryos injected with control or CAMSAP2b morpholinos. Arterial and venous intersegmental vessels are indicated by red and blue arrows and highlighted with red and blue lines on the bottom pictures, respectively. Asterisks show parachordal lymphangioblast in control embryo and an abnormal venous sprout in CAMSAP2b morphant embryo. (B) Quantification of the percentage of venous intersegmental vessels in the same 10 somite-region in the trunk of embryos injected with control or CAMSAP2b morpholinos, or co-injected with CAMSAP2b morpholinos and RNA coding for a morpholino-insensitive mutant of human CAMSAP2, n = 90, 80 and 45 embryos in six, six and three independent experiments. (C) Frames (Z-maximum projections) from time-lapse confocal imaging of venous sprouting in control and CAMSAP2b-depleted embryos. Time is hr:min post-fertilization. Arrowheads point to the growing venous sprout. See also Videos 15. (D) Graphs representing venous sprout length over time measured during their growing period from the time-lapse imaging described in (C) in control and CAMSAP2b morphant embryos. Grey curves represent individual growing events, black dots indicate the average length at each time point ±SEM and the result of curve fitting (exponential - one phase association) in control embryos is drawn in red. (E) Graphs representing length (blue lines, ΔL in the scheme) and angle (orange lines, Δα in the scheme) variations of growing venous sprouts between each successive time point (t1 and t2 in the scheme) from the time-lapse imaging described in (C). One representative plot (out of 19 and 18) is shown for each condition. (F) Quantification of the average growth and directional persistence per growing event calculated from data described in (E) and as explained in the Materials and methods: the growth persistence was obtained by averaging the length variations (Δ Length) between two consecutive time frames per growing event whereas directional persistence was calculated as the inverse of the sinus of the angle variation (its absolute value) for each frame and then averaged per growth event, n = 19 and 18 sprouts in three independent experiments. (G) Model of the impact of MT array organization on endothelial polarization and movement in 2D and 3D. Control ECs contain three distinct populations of MT, the centrosomal MTs (grey), the non-centrosomal, Golgi-anchored MTs (burgundy) and the non-centrosomal non-Golgi-anchored MTs (dark green). The two non-centrosomal MT populations are stabilized by the presence of CAMSAP2 stretches at their minus-ends (light green rectangle). During 2D migration, the presence of Golgi-originating MTs, which are lost after CAMSAP2, MMG or AKAP450 depletion, ensures proper Golgi polarization and directional migration. In the context of 3D sprouting, both non-centrosomal populations are enriched in a single protrusion, which becomes larger and more stable than the rest. Centrosomal MTs are dispensable for both processes. Data are shown using box plots except in (D): mean ±SEM; Chi square test with Yates correction (B), Mann-Whitney U test (F): ***p<0.001, *p<0.05, ns, no significant difference.
