Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 1. β2AR agonism stimulates H2O2 production in human airway epithelial cells in a NOX dependent manner. Agonism of β2AR with increasing ISO concentrations initiates concentration-dependent increases in real-time H2O2 production. (A) ISO (10 µM) significantly increases H2O2 production (p < 0.001 via One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc) versus vehicle-control in CALU-3, A549, SAEC and A-SAEC, as detected by the extracellular H2O2-selective probe Amplex Red (n = 3). H2O2 (0.1 µM) was used as an internal positive control to ensure probe viability (data not shown). Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc test and * ** denotes p < 0.001 versus the vehicle-control condition. (B-D) ISO (1 µM) significantly increased (p < 0.001) H2O2 production in CALU3 (B), SAEC (C) and A-SAEC (D) cells and pretreatment with the selective NOX inhibitor, VAS2870 (5 µM; 30 min) significantly attenuated real- time H2O2 generation in CALU-3 (p < 0.05 via ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc) and SAEC (p < 0.001 via ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc) (n = 3). The ISO-induced real-time H2O2 generation remained unaltered in the presence of VAS2870 in A-SAEC (n = 3). Compared to the ISO-alone condition, AUC analysis reveals a 30.7% and 148% reduction in ISO-induced real-time H2O2 generation in the presence of VAS2870 in CALU-3 (B, lower), and SAEC (C, lower), respectively (n = 3). Values represent average of three independent experiments (n = 3), performed in triplicates, vehicle control (unstimulated) values were subtracted from each data point for baseline correction. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc test and * * denotes p < 0.01, and * ** denotes p < 0.001 versus the vehicle-control condition, while # denotes p < 0.05, ### denotes p < 0.001, and #### denotes p < 0.0001 versus the respective ISO-treated condition. (E) ISO (10 µM) significantly increases H2O2 production versus vehicle-control in CALU-3, SAEC and A-SAEC, as detected by the intracellular H2O2-selective probe AbGreen. Cells were pretreated with VAS2870 (VAS; 5 µM) or the β2AR inverse agonist ICI-118,551 (ICI; 10 µM) for 30 min, both of which significantly inhibit fluorescent intensity, demonstrating β2AR- and NOX-dependent H2O2 generation. H2O2 (0.1 µM) served as positive control in each experiment. Graphs represent quantified fluorescent intensity from 4X images from three independent experiments (n = 3) performed in triplicates. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc test and * denotes p < 0.05, and * * denotes p < 0.01 versus the vehicle-control condition, while # denotes p < 0.05, and ## denotes p < 0.01 versus the respective ISO-treated condition, as shown.
Article Snippet: Prepared lysates were tumbled with 10 μl (0.2 μg/μl) anti-human β2AR mouse monoclonal antibody (E3, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) for 2 h at 4 ◦C and 20 μl of resuspended protein A/G -agarose beads (Thermo Fischer Scientific) were added and tumbled overnight at 4 ◦C.
