    Article Snippet: .. Isolated cortical culture-derived sEVs were incubated at 37◦C with a fluorogenic ADAM10 substrate (‘PEPDAB063’, BioZyme, Inc.) in the presence or absence of ADAM10 inhibitor GI254023X (GI). (A) Schematic representation of the fluorogenic substrate assay, where ADAM10-mediated cleavage of the peptide separates the quencher (Dabcyl) from the fluorophore (5-FAM), resulting in increased fluorescence emission (~530 nm).

    Article Title: ADAM10-Mediated Proteolytic Remodelling of Signalling and Adhesion Proteins on Brain Cell-Derived Small Extracellular Vesicles.
    Article Snippet: .. As protease activity is the result of a finely tuned interplay of many different factors and the mere presence of mature ADAM10 on EVs does not per se guarantee its activity there (Aljohmani et al., 2022 ; Lambrecht et al., 2018 ), we performed cell-free activity assays with the purified sEVs using a synthetic and fluorogenic ADAM10 substrate (PEPDAB063, BioZyme, Inc.) in the presence or absence of the selective ADAM10 inhibitor GI254023X (GI) (Figure 2A ). sEVs were isolated from cultured cortical cells as before but in the absence of a PI cocktail in the cell supernatants. ..

    Pre‐incubation with Pep19‐2.5 inhibits nigericin‐ and MSU crystal‐induced IL‐1β secretion. (A) Primary monocytes were primed with 1 µg/mL Pam 3 CSK 4 for 3 h and then stimulated with 10 µM nigericin or 200 µg/mL MSU crystals for 3 h. Pep19‐2.5 was added 30 min before priming at increasing concentrations ranging from 0.4 to 18 µM. Supernatants were analyzed for IL‐1β by ELISA. Stimulus‐induced IL‐1β secretion was set to 100%. Mean ± SEM ( n = 4 biologically independent experiments for nigericin, n = 2 biologically independent experiments for MSU crystals). One‐sample t ‐test against 100%. (B) hMDMs were primed with 1 µg/mL Pam 3 CSK 4 for 4 h and then stimulated with 5 µM nigericin for 2 h. Pep19‐2.5 was added at the indicated concentrations 30 min before priming.
