Article Title: GFP-complementation assay to detect functional CPP and protein delivery into living cells

doi: 10.1038/srep18329

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( 3a,b) SEE components are validated by co-transfection of CHO-K1 cells with hGFP1-10 and various Cargo_S11 fusion constructs. All S11 fusions complemented hGFP1-10, measured by increasing % fluorescent cells ( 3a ) or increasing MFI ( 3b ) in the viable single-cell population. In all experiments the “S11 only” control is a fusion of the [GSSG]x2 linker and S11 sequence, and does not generate a detectable GFP signal, nor do empty vector and “GFP1-10 only” controls (% GFP-positive cells <0.65 or MFI <25). Error bars represent standard error of the mean between technical replicates; data is representative of three independent experiments. ( 3c) Fluorescence microscopy detects GFP complementation (FITC channel) in HCC827/hGFP1-10 cell populations transfected with complementing β-ACTIN_S11 or TRX_S11 constructs, compared to empty vector control. Cells are also counter-stained for endogenous β-Actin (TRITC) and nuclei (DAPI) before visualizing. Bar scale is 50 μm.

doi: 10.1038/srep18329

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( 4a,b) CHO-K1 cells are co-transfected with hGFP1-10 and various Cargo-linker combinations. All_S11 fusions complemented hGFP1-10 to various extents, measured by increasing % fluorescent cells ( 4a ) or increasing MFI ( 4b ) in the viable single-cell population. In all experiments the “S11 only” control is a fusion of the [GSSG]x2 linker and S11 sequence, and does not generate a detectable GFP signal, nor do empty vector and “GFP1-10 only” controls (% GFP-positive cells <0.65 or MFI <25). Error bars represent standard error of the mean between technical replicates; data is representative of three independent experiments. ( 4c–f) Transfection experiments validating CPP components were repeated in a monoclonal stable cell line: HCC827 cells expressing hGFP1-10. HCC827/hGFP1-10 cells are transfected with different Cargo_S11 fusion constructs ( 4c,d ) or various Cargo-linker combinations ( 4e,f ). All Cargo_S11 proteins and various Cargo-linker combinations complemented hGFP1-10, as measured by increasing % GFP-positive cells ( 4c,e ) or increasing MFI ( 4d,f ) in the viable single-cell population and compared to background (no GFP1-10 and/or empty vector). In all experiments the “S11 only” control is expressed [GSSG]x2 linker_S11 fusion and does not generate a detectable increase in GFP signal, nor do empty vector and “GFP1-10 only” controls (% GFP-positive cells <5%, or MFI <110). Error bars represent standard error of the mean between technical replicates; data is representative of three independent experiments.

Figure Lengend Snippet: CPP_TRX_S11 proteins were added to CHO-K1 ( 5a,b ) and HCC827 ( 5c,d ) monoclonal cell lines stably expressing hGFP1-10. Protein titration shows dose-dependent uptake for TAT, Penetratin (PEN), Penetratin-Arginine (PenArg) and R9 fusions read as GFP complementation measured by both % fluorescent cells ( 5a,c ) and fold change in MFI ( 5b,d ). The seven other canonical CPPs showed only minimal GFP complementation signal at the highest doses. Control TRX_S11 fusion proteins “No CPP” and “PYC35” (a peptide with no CPP activity) show negligible effect on GFP complementation signal over cell-line background (“HisMBP”). Error bars represent standard error of the mean between technical replicates; data is representative of two independent experiments per cell line. (*R9 and PenArg fusions were not sufficiently concentrated for testing at 40 μM.)

Figure Lengend Snippet: Recombinant proteins are added to CHO-K1 and HCC827 cells transiently transfected 24-hours prior with hGFP1-10 and left overnight to recover and express the protein. GFP complementation was measured as both % fluorescent cells ( 8a ) and fold change in MFI ( 8b ). A dose-dependent fluorescent signal is detected for the TAT fusion protein compared to controls illustrating CPP-dependent internalization in transfected cells. “No CPP” control is the TRX_S11 protein with no CPP moiety added. “PYC35” control is an unrelated peptide (known to have no CPP activity) instead of a CPP moiety expressed as part of the fusion protein. Data is representative of more than 10 independent experiments. Error bars represent standard error of the mean between technical replicates.
