The fluorescent glucose analogue 2-(N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)amino)-2-deoxyglucose (2-NBD-glucose; Invitrogen, Darmstadt, Germany) was used to measure the relative uptake of glucose by flow cytometry. In each condition, cells were incubated with 2-NBD-glucose (30 μM) for 1 hour at 37 °C, subsequently washed twice in cold PBS and subjected to flow cytometry (BD Biosciences, Heidelberg, Germany) in fluorescence channel FL1. Data were analyzed using the FlowJo Software.

The fluorescent glucose analogue 2-(N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)amino)-2-deoxyglucose (2-NBD-glucose; Invitrogen, Darmstadt, Germany) was used to measure the relative uptake of glucose by flow cytometry. In each condition, cells were incubated with 2-NBD-glucose (30 μM) for 1 hour at 37 °C, subsequently washed twice in cold PBS and analyzed by flow cytometry (BD Biosciences, Heidelberg, Germany) in fluorescence channel FL1. To determine the effect of SGLT1 inhibition on glucose uptake, cells were incubated with 1 mM of the SGLT1 inhibitor, Phlorizin (1 mM; #274313; Sigma). To determine the effect of Na+ on total glucose uptake by SGLT1 inhibition, cells were incubated for 2 h with either HEPES or Na+-free Hepes. The solutions were composed of (in mM): standard Hepes: 115 NaCl, 5 KCl, 1 CaCl2, 1.2 MgSO4, 2 NaH2PO4 10 glucose, 32.2 Hepes or sodium free Hepes: 132.8 NMDG Cl, 3 KCl, 1 CaCl2, 1.2 MgSO4, 2 KH2PO4, 32.2 Hepes, 10 mannitol, 10 glucose. All chemicals were purchased from Sigma.

Microencapsulated Protein Release Kinetics

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
AlexaFluor488-labeled IgG (goat anti-rabbit IgG, Life Technologies), bovine serum albumin-AlexaFluor488 conjugate (Life Technologies), 2-NBD-glucose (Life Technologies) or insulin (Sigma) tagged with AlexaFluor488 was dissolved in a 5% PEG-4MAL (10 kDa or 20 kDa) solution before being microencapsulated by macromer droplet gelation. To prevent proteins from being crosslinked by the macromer, thiols were capped using aminoethylate reagent (Thermo Scientific) according to product instructions. Particles were washed and resuspended in PBS and divided into 5 replicates containing 2 mL total volume. 50 µL samples were taken of supernatant alone, as well as of supernatant containing well-mixed, protein-laden microgels. These samples were placed in a 96 well plate, and their fluorescent intensity was measured using a Perkin Elmer HTS 7000 plate reader. To generate release curves, supernatant samples were collected over the course of 3 days, and their fluorescent intensity was measured. Protein release was normalized by setting fluorescent intensity of the supernatant alone correspond to 0% protein released, and fluorescent intensity of the buffer/microgel mixture correspond to 100% protein released. This data was plotted using GraphPad Prism, and exponential best fit curves were calculated from normalized data.

To measure glucose uptake, fluorescently labeled glucose analogue was used. Cells were collected and incubated with 2-NBD glucose (Life Technologies) at 12.5 μg/ml for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were then washed twice with PBS and resuspended in 500 μL of PBS and analyzed in C6 Accuri Flow (excitation at 544 nm and emission at 590 nm).

ECs were seeded at a density of 2 × 105 cells per well in a 6 well plate and incubated overnight. Then, ECs were incubated in serum‐free medium for 6 hours before being washed once with PBS and incubated with 100 μmol/L of 2‐(N‐(7‐Nitrobenz‐2‐oxa‐1,3‐diazol‐4‐yl)Amino)‐2‐Deoxyglucose (2‐NBD‐glucose, Life Technologies, SAS) for 1 h at 37°C. Thereafter, ECs were trypsinized before being centrifuged at 300 g for 5 minutes at room temperature and washed once with PBS. Cell pellets were resuspended in 300 μl PBS and the 2‐NBD‐glucose fluorescence was determined in the FITC channel (FL‐1) using a flow cytometer (FACScan). Mean fluorescence intensity of 2‐NBD‐glucose was used to measure glucose uptake by ECs. Unstained control was used to optimize FACS settings.

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.
