Figure Legend Snippet: Effect of introducing point mutations on the biological activity of FGF1. a Serum-starved NIH 3T3 cells were treated with 10 ng/mL FGF1 variants for 15 min in the presence of heparin (10 U/mL). Activation of the downstream cascade was detected by immunoblotting using the following antibodies: anti-phospho-FRS2 (pFRS2) and anti-phospho-ERK1/2 (pERK1/2). Anti-ERK1/2 and anti-vinculin antibodies were used to confirm equal loading. Representative results are shown (n ≥ 3). The vertical lines in the last WB panel show the deleted wells. The original membranes, together with the method of trimming, are presented in Fig. S2. Densitometric analysis of pERK/ERK is presented in Fig. S3. b Effect of 20-h FGF1 variants stimulation (20 ng/mL) in the presence of 10 U/mL heparin on glucose uptake by 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, n = 4. Statistical significance: * p ≤ 0.05; ** p ≤ 0.01 and *** p ≤ 0.001
Techniques Used: Activity Assay, Activation Assay, Western Blot
Figure Legend Snippet: Impaired activation of signaling pathways by FGF1 variants due to reduced affinity for the FGFR1 (IIIc) receptor. a Serum-starved NIH 3T3 cells were stimulated with 10 ng/mL FGF1 variants in the presence of heparin (10 U/mL) for 15 min, and activation of downstream signaling cascades was detected by immunoblotting using the following antibodies: anti-phospho-FGFR (pFGFR), anti-phospho-PLCγ (pPLCγ), anti-phosphoFRS2 (pFRS2), anti-phospho-ERK1/2 (pERK1/2). Anti-ERK1/2, anti-FGFR1, anti-PLCγ and anti-γTubulin antibodies were used to confirm equal loading. Representative results are shown. Densitometric analysis is presented as mean ± SEM, n = 3/4. Statistical significance: * p ≤ 0.05; ** p ≤ 0.01 and *** p ≤ 0.001. b BLI analysis of the affinity of FGF1 variants for FGFR1-Fc (IIIc isoform). FGFR1-Fc was immobilized on a Protein A sensor and its interactions (association and dissociation) with selected FGF1 mutants were analyzed in the concentration range of 100–800 nM. Curves obtained by global fitting are marked in red. Representative results are shown (n ≥ 3). The equilibrium dissociation constant (K D ) was calculated from the saturation binding curve
Techniques Used: Activation Assay, Protein-Protein interactions, Western Blot, Concentration Assay, Binding Assay
Figure Legend Snippet: Effect of introduced mutations on the long-term activity of FGF1. a Induction of Glut1 expression after stimulation with FGF1 variants. 3T3-L1 cells were treated with 100 ng/mL FGF1 muteins in the presence of 10 U/mL heparin for 24 h, followed by WB analysis with anti-Glut1 and anti-γTubulin antibodies, data are presented as mean ± SEM, n = 6. Statistical significance: * p ≤ 0.05; ** p ≤ 0.01 and *** p ≤ 0.001. b Normalized thermal denaturation curves of FGF1 variants monitored by ellipticity changes (λ = 227 nm). c Degradation of FGF1 variants in the presence of adipocytes. Serum-starved 3T3-L1 adipocytes were incubated with 1 µg/mL FGF1 variants. The progress of proteolysis on subsequent days was monitored by immunoblotting with anti-FGF1 antibody. Representative results are shown ( n = 5). Densitometric analysis of proteolysis of FGF1 variants is presented as the ratio the intensity of the upper band to the intensity of the whole amount of protein. Mean ± SEM are shown, n = 5. Statistical significance: * p ≤ 0.05; ** p ≤ 0.01 and *** p ≤ 0.001
Techniques Used: Activity Assay, Expressing, Incubation, Western Blot
Figure Legend Snippet: Mitogenic activity of selected FGF1 variants in different cell types. Mitogenic activity of selected FGF1 variants was assessed by stimulating serum-starved C2C12, MCF7 or 4MBr-5 cells with FGF1 mutants in the concentration range 0.1–100 ng/ml in the presence of 10 U/ml heparin for 48 h, 72 h or 96 h, respectively. Cell viability was assessed by PrestoBlue cell viability assay a or by CellTiter-Fluor cell viability assay b . Cell number was determined by counting NucBlue-stained nuclei using an Opera Phenix Plus High-Content Screening System c . Data are presented as mean ± SEM, n = 3. Multiple t-test; statistical significance: * p ≤ 0.05; ** p ≤ 0.01 and *** p ≤ 0.001
Techniques Used: Activity Assay, Concentration Assay, Viability Assay, Staining, High Content Screening
Figure Legend Snippet: Metabolic activity of FGF1 variants in vivo. a , b Change in blood glucose levels in db/db mice after a single administration of FGF1 variants (measurements at 0, 6, 18, 24, 30, 48, 72, 96 and 168 h after protein administration). FGF1 variants were administered at a dose of 1 mg/kg body weight. Data were normalized to glucose levels before protein administration and presented as mean ± SEM, n = 7/6. Statistical significance * p ≤ 0.05; ** p ≤ 0.01 and *** p ≤ 0.001; (*) indicates comparison with vehicle; (#) indicates comparison with wild-type protein. c Analysis of mouse body weight 96 h after administration. d Pharmacokinetics of FGF1 variants after a single subcutaneous administration in Wistar Han rats. FGF1 variants were administered subcutaneously at a dose 0.5 mg/kg, and blood samples were collected before injection and at 5 min, 15 min, 30 min and 1, 2, 4, 7, 12, 24, 48 h after injection and protein levels were analyzed by ELISA. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, n = 5
