    R&D Systems fluorogenic peptide substrate iii
    2′-FL transactivates EGFR in IECs via stimulating the release of HB-EGF from the cell membrane to bind to EGFR (A and C) Cells were treated with 2′-FL at indicated concentrations or 20 μg/mL of lactose or glucose for 2 h (A), or 2′-FL at 20 μg/mL for 2 h with and without 1-h pretreatment of HB-EGF neutralizing antibody at 500 ng/mL that was present with 2′-FL treatment (C). Total cellular lysates were prepared for Western blot analysis of the phosphorylated and total levels of EGFR and ERK1/2. β-actin blot was used as the protein loading control. (B) Cells were treated with 2′-FL at 20 μg/mL for indicated times. Cell culture supernatants were collected for ELISA analysis of HB-EGF levels. Data are presented as pg of HB-EGF in culture supernatant from 105 cells. (D) YAMC cells were treated with 2′-FL, lactose, or glucose at 20 μg/mL for 2 h. At the end of the treatment, the <t>fluorogenic</t> peptide substrate (4 μM) was added to cell culture medium and incubated for 2 h. The fluorescent intensity in supernatants was measured at 30, 60, 90, and 120 min after reaction. Data are presented as relative fluorescence unit (RFU)/minute in the indicated reaction period from 104 cells. Images in (A) and (C) represent data from at least <t>three</t> independent experiments. In (B) and (D), data were triplicated in each experiment, and the symbol represents the average data from individual experiment. Statistical significance was determined using unpaired t -tests and one-way ANOVA analysis of variance. ∗ p < 0.05 compared to the control group of the same cell line in (B). ∗ p < 0.05 compared to the control, glucose, and lactose groups in the same reaction period in (D). Data are represented as mean ± SD.
