Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 7. Christchurch mutation reduces LDLR binding, lipid uptake, and lipofuscin (A) Competitive HTRF demonstrating inhibition of tagged lipApoE4-LDLR ECD binding in the presence of different concentrations of untagged lipidated ApoE variants (n = 3 independent experiments). No inhibitor: no addition of untagged lipidated ApoE. The first panel shows the complete dose response. The second and third panels show the % inhibition at 125 and 250 nM, respectively. (B and C) Confocal images and quantification of pHrodo green-labeled POPC-lipidated ApoE isoforms (10 mg/mL) in H4 cells after 1-day incubation. Scale bar: 10 mm in (B). (D and E) Confocal images and quantification of pHrodo signals detected in H4 cells after 1-day incubation with 10 mg/mL pHrodo green-labeled HDL pre- complexed with 10 mg/mL ApoE isoforms. Scale bar: 10 mm in (D). (F and G) Confocal images and quantification of lipofuscin in H4 cells after 3-day incubation with 20 mg/mL CE(20:4)/POPC-lipidated ApoE isoforms. Scale bar: 10 mm in (F). In all bar graphs, data shown are mean + SEM with each dot representing one independent experiment; **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001. One-way ANOVA was performed with Holm-Sidak’s multiple comparisons. See also Figure S7.
Article Snippet: Cell-based LDLR binding assay POPC/cholesterol-lipidated ApoE was labeled using FluoReporter FITC protein labeling kit (Invitrogen, F6434) with excess dye removed by dialysis into PBS using Slide-A-Lyzer MINI dialysis device with 10kDa MWCO (ThermoFisher, #69570).
