Article Title: Displacement of Native FXYD Protein From Na + /K + -ATPase With Novel FXYD Peptide Derivatives: Effects on Doxorubicin Cytotoxicity
doi: 10.3389/fonc.2022.859216
Figure Lengend Snippet: Distribution of FXYD3-pep SKSK and its ability to displace FXYD3 from the α1 Na + /K + -ATPase subunit. (A) FXYD3 and Na + /K + -ATPase α1 subunit expression in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cells and in BxPC-3 and Panc-1 pancreatic cancer cells. Expression is normalized to expression in human non-cancer MCF-10A cells; GAPDH was the internal loading control. (B) Immunofluorescence showing distribution of TRITC-labeled FXYD3-pep SKSK in BxPC-3 cells. Cells were exposed to 1 µM TRITC-tagged FXYD3-pep SKSK (TRITC-SKSK) (red) for 2 h and fluorescence microscopy performed 24 h after the peptide was washed off. DAPI was used to counterstain the nucleus (blue). One of 5 similar experiments is shown. Fluorescence is predominantly peri-nuclear. Scales are shown in the middle panel. (C) Immunoblot (IB) of α1 Na + /K + -ATPase subunit with WT FXYD3 immunoprecipitant in lysate of BXPC-3 with and without exposure of the cells to 1 μM FXYD3-pep SKSK for 2 h before lysis. (D) Immunoblot of WT FXYD3 with the α1 subunit immunoprecipitant in the lysate from the cells. C, control; TL, total lysate; non-immune IgG (IgG), negative control for IP. The efficiency of the Co-Ip can be estimated by the comparison of β1 subunit expression in the initial total lysate and the unbound supernatant after IP in BxPC-3 cells (data not shown). Approximate binding efficiency was ~90%.
Article Snippet: After solubilization in RIPA lysis buffer, protein extracts (0.5–1 mg) from cells were precleared and incubated overnight at 4°C with anti-α 1 subunit Na + -K + ATPase (D4Y7E; Cell Signaling Technology, USA), anti-FXYD3 (ab205534; Abcam, UK), or anti-β1 subunit (D6U8Q; Cell Signaling Technology, USA) Na + /K + -ATPase antibodies followed by precipitation for 2 h at 4°C with protein A/G plus agarose-coated beads (Abcam, UK).
