GloSensor cAMP assay

The GloSensor cAMP assay was conducted per manufacturer's protocol (Promega). In brief, ChoK1 human GLP-1R/GIPR-expressing cells were seeded at 15,000 cells per well in a 96 well plate and incubated for 16 hours in a humidified 37° C., 5% CO2 incubator. Cells were transiently transfected with 100 ng pGloSensor −22F cAMP plasmid using FuGENE HD for 24 hours. Cells were then equilibrated with 0.1% BSA, 2% GloSensor cAMP reagent in CO2 independent media (Invitrogen) for 2 hours at room temperature. Cells were preincubated for 15 min with or without 0.43 M sucrose (Sigma). Basal luminescence measurements were taken for 10 minutes prior to addition of 1248 in conditions with or without sucrose. Immediately following addition of 1248, kinetic luminescence was measured using an integration time of 0.1-1 second every 60 seconds. Data were analyzed using GraphPad Prism software and presented in FIG. 26.

Src Activity Measurement via FRET Biosensor

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Src activity was determined using a FRET based Src biosensor as previously described [27 (link), 28 (link)] with minor modifications. The Src biosensor consists of a CFP-YPet FRET pair at either end of a flexible linker domain containing a Src kinase peptide (WMEDYDYVHLQG, from the known Src target p130cas[29 (link), 30 (link)]). NIH 3T3 cells were transiently transfected with 3µg β2AR, 2 µg Src biosensor, and 2 µg of mCherry-tagged Src mutants. Fibroblasts were plated onto poly-d-lysine coated dishes and starved for 36 hours in MEM containing 0.5% FBS. Prior to imaging, media was changed to CO2-independent media (Invitrogen) and the cells were imaged on a Deltavision Elite microscope using a 60× oil immersion objective with a 1.42 NA and an Evolve back-thinned EM-CCD camera. Images were acquired every 2 min using CFP-YFP-mCherry filter sets. Excitation of the samples was performed by an InsightSSI 7 channel solid-state illumination source. Wortmannin (50 nM) or PP2 (10 µM) were added 30 min prior to stimulation with ISO (10 µM) or PDGF (50 nM). Vehicle or agonist was added after the third time point. Acquired images were analyzed using ImageJ. Normalized emission ratios (CFP/FRET signal) are reported.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Single cells and multicellular structures were extracted from the lrECM gels for AFM study with an adapted version of previously described acinus-extraction method [38] (link). The lrECM gels were quickly washed with PBS and then mechanically detached from the culture well. To dissolve the matrix, embedded gels were soaked in a iced PBS-EDTA mixture (0.5 M EDTA pH 8.0 from Invitrogen diluted to 5.5 µM final concentration in PBS) for 10 minutes before being placed in a 1.5 mL tube with excess PBS-EDTA for an additional 25 minutes. The resulting mixture was gently centrifuged at 100–200g (single cells 3–5 minutes; acini ∼10 s) and the supernatant was aspirated away. Cells/acini were resuspended in CO2-independent media (Invitrogen) with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1× penicillin–streptomycin and plated on a poly-L-lysine-coated (MW>300,000, P5899 Sigma-Aldrich) cover slip for AFM experiments. Poly-L-lysine coatings were used to allow samples to electrostatically attach without activating cell adhesion machinery on the surface.
