Glucose uptake was performed by detecting the uptake of 2-NBDG by culture cells using the 2-NBDG Glucose Uptake Assay Kit (Abcam) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In brief, cells were incubated with glucose-free HBSS medium for 30 minutes after washing with PBS. After washing with PBS, cells were incubated with 2-NBDG (100 μM) for 30 minutes at 37°C. Cells were then resuspended in 150 μL of prechilled PBS containing 0.5% BSA, and flow cytometry analysis was performed within 30 minutes.

The glucose uptake was measured using the 2-NBDG Glucose Uptake Assay Kit (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) following the manufacturer’s recommendations. Briefly, after 1 h of glucose deprivation, the cells were incubated with a glucose-free medium containing a fluorescently-labeled deoxyglucose analog, 2-(N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)amino)-2-deoxyglucose (2-NBDG, 100 µg/mL), for 45 min at 37  °C. The cells were washed with a Cell-Based Assay Buffer twice to remove the excess 2-NBDG and then detected by a NovoCyte Flow Cytometer (ACEA Biosciences, San Diego, CA, USA), using a filter with an excitation/emission = 485/535 nm.

Samples were processed as detailed in the manual of the 2-NBDG Glucose Uptake Assay Kit (Abcam). Briefly, hepatocytes were plated in EMEM medium in 6-well plates reaching about 80% confluency, and then the cells were serum-starved for 6 h. Following starvation, replace the serum-free medium with pre-warmed glucose-free DMEM, and hepatocytes were treated with ATP or UTP for 30 min in total, during which the final 10 min of the cells were incubated with 2-NBDG at the final concentration of 200 μg/mL. After NBDG was taken up by the cells, fluorescence was determined immediately with an excitation wavelength set to 485 nm and an emission wavelength set to 535 nm.

Fluorescence-Based Glucose Uptake Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The 2-NBDG glucose uptake assay kit (ab235976, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) employs a fluorescent labeled deoxyglucose analog that can be used for the detection of glucose uptake by cultured cells. Cells were seeded in a 96-well plate with 25 000 cells per well. After 72 h of adherence, cell medium was replaced for 2 h with glucose-free RPMI medium. Afterwards, cells were incubated with indicated compounds for 30 min. Followed by a 15 min incubation with Hoechst 33342 (10 μg/mL, Sigma-Aldrich). 2-NBDG mix was prepared by a 50-fold dilution in glucose-free medium. 2-NBDG mix (50 μL) was added to each well for 10 min at 37°C. Afterwards, the plate was centrifuged for 1 min at 200 g. The supernatant was replaced and 50 μL cell-based assay buffer was added. Fluorescence was read at 50 ms integration time using the ImageXpress Pico Automated Cell Imaging System and quantified with the CellReporterXpress Image Acquisition and Analysis Software. All cell average FITC intensities were normalized against nuclei staining and against the control condition.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
