doi: 10.1101/gad.352710.125
Figure Lengend Snippet: DPP4 + preadipocytes express significantly high levels of Igf2 . ( A ) MTT assay of primary adult scWAT preadipocytes cultured with 1% adult mice mouse serum and supplemented with or without 10 nM IGF2 for 7 days ( n = 5). ( B ) Reclustering of prewean preadipocytes only, shown as a UMAP plot. ( C ) Violin plot of Igf2 expression between two clusters identified in B ( left ) and bar graph of mRNA expression levels in DPP4 sorted cells from isolated prewean and adult SVCs ( right ) ( n = 3). ( D ) Violin plot of Dpp4 expression between two clusters identified in B ( left ) and bar graph of mRNA expression levels in DPP4 sorted cells from isolated prewean and adult SVCs ( right ) ( n = 3). ( E ) Fluorescent in situ hybridization by RNAscope of Igf2 (gray) and immunohistochemistry of DPP4 (green), WGA (red), and DAPI (blue) were performed on prewean scWAT isolated with skin ( n = 4). Scale bars: left , 500 µm; right , 25 µm. The tile scan images were taken with a 40× objective. (*) P = 0.0222, (***) P = 0.0002, (****) P < 0.0001. Data are shown as mean ± SEM.
Article Snippet: Cells were incubated with a DPP4 antibody (1:10; R&D Systems AF954) for 30 min, followed by addition of 15 μL of protein G magnetic beads (Miltenyi Biotec) for 30 min. MS or LS columns (Miltenyi Biotec) were calibrated with blocking buffer and loaded with cells.
