Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 5. Characterization of ANGPTL4/8-mediated plasmin generation and its effects on LPL. A: The ability of tPA to convert plasminogen to plasmin in the presence of ANGPTL4/8 was examined after addition of ANGPTL3/8, ANGPTL3, ANGPTL4, ApoC3, or ApoC2, with the molar ratio of each protein to ANGPTL4/8 being the same as in the LPL activity assays. Generation of plasmin was measured us- ing colorimetric plasmin activity assays, with absorbances recorded spectrophotometrically. Results shown are repre- sentative of three independent experiments. B: LPL stable–expressing cells were preincubated with ANGPTL4/8, followed by incubation in the absence or presence of tPA + plasminogen. Cells were washed, and heparin was added to release membrane-bound LPL, which was measured via Western blotting. Results are presentative of 6 replicates from 2 independent experiments. C: Following removal of membrane-bound LPL, cells were solubilized using RIPA buffer, and LPL present within the cells was analyzed via Western blotting. Results are presentative of six replicates from two independent experiments. ANGPTL, angiopoietin- like protein; LPL, lipoprotein lipase; tPA, tissue plasminogen activator.
Article Snippet: Human plasminogen (1939-SE), anti-ApoC2 rabbit antibody (MAF4497), anti-ANGPTL3 rabbit polyclonal antibody (AF3829), and anti-LPL antibody (AF7197) were purchased from R&D systems.
