In C6D8 cells short thin (3 nm) connecting filaments frequently linked vimentin to actin filaments and, in addition, connected vimentin filaments to each other. Occasionally, direct contacts were noticed between actin and vimentin filaments. Thin connecting filaments were present at a significantly higher number in IF-deficient C6D10 cells, forming a dense cytoplasmic network in conjunction with actin filament bundles as the dominating structure. The data indicate that thin connecting filaments are present in C6 cells independent of the expression of cytoplasmic IF proteins.
