To monitor intracellular trafficking of fluorescent fusion proteins, C2C12 cells or mg53−/− myotubes were cultured in glass-bottom dishes (Bioptechs) and transfected with plasmid DNA using standard techniques. For immunocytochemistry, FDB fibres were fixed using 100% ethanol at −20 °C for 5 min before anti-mouse MG53 rabbit polyclonal antibody was applied at a 1:200 dilution. Cells were washed and secondary antibodies coupled with fluorescent probes (goat anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor 488 or Alexa Fluor 546) were applied according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Molecular Probes). For the assay of acute live-cell membrane damage, transfected cells were mechanically damaged using a micropipette attached to a micromanipulator. Fluorescence images were captured using a BioRad 2100 Radiance laser scanning confocal microscope with a ×40 1.3NA oil immersion objective.

The cDNAs encoding human α1, β2, γ2S and enhanced cyan fluorescent protein (CFP)-or yellow fluorescent protein (YFP)-tagged GABAA receptor subunits (e.g. γ2SCFP, α1CFP or γ2SYFP subunit) were as described previously (Kang and Macdonald, 2004 (link); Kang et al., 2006 (link)). The γ2 subunit minigenes were generated by inserting the full length intron 8 of the γ2 gene between exons 8 and 9 of the γ2 subunit cDNA constructs. Since intron 8 contains the sequences for the γ2L subunit, which is subject to alternative splicing inside the cells, the term γ2 subunit minigene was used instead of either γ2L or γ2S subunit minigene in Figure 1. Similarly, we are not sure if truncated wild type or mutant γ2S or γ2L subunits were produced with expression of the intron 8 minigenes, and therefore, we refer to γ2 and γ2(Q351X) subunits when the subunits were a product of minigene expression. We used γ2S or γ2L subunit when referring to the cDNA constructs for the rest of study. The ecliptic pHluorin (a pH-sensitive GFP variant)-tagged rat γ2L (γ2LpH) subunit was kindly provided by Dr. Stephen J. Moss. The FLAG (DYKDDDDK) and HA (YPYDVPDYA) epitopes were inserted between amino acids 4 and 5 in the amino terminus of the protein. Rat γ2 subunit siRNA, GFP-22 (CGG CAA GCT GAC CCT GAA GTT CAT), the scrambled negative control siRNA (Alexa Fluor 546; AAT TCT CCG AAC GTG TCA CGT) and primers were all synthesized by Qiagen. The anti-γ2 subunit siRNA sequence (AAG AAA TCT GAT GAT GAC TAT) was complementary to an upstream sequence of the rat γ2 subunit N-terminus that was interrupted in the YFP-tagged human γ2SYFP subunit sequence.

Serum antibodies to MOG and AQP4 were analyzed in a subgroup of 15 patients for IgG1-IgG4 isotypes via our live cell staining IF assay using MOG or AQP4 transfected cells. After blocking with goat IgG, the transfected cells were incubated with the pre-absorbed serum samples (1:20 and 1:40 dilution) for one hour. Subsequently, cells were washed and incubated with mouse monoclonal anti-human IgG1-IgG4 isotype antibodies for 30 minutes (Sigma-Aldrich, 1:100 dilution in PBS/10% FCS), followed by detection using Alexa Fluor® 546 goat anti-mouse IgG (Invitrogen) for 30 minutes. Dead cells were excluded by DAPI staining and analysis was performed by three independent investigators (SM, KS and VG).
