<t>DAPT-treatment</t> of human lens B3 cells induces changes in endogenous JAG1 protein processing. (A) Endogenous JAG1, NOTCH2 and PSEN1 expression in B3 cell lysates. Each lane/strip blot contains 50 µg of B3 cell total protein that was separately probed with rabbit anti-Jag1, rabbit anti-Psen1 (N-terminus), or rat anti-Notch2 to reveal expression of FL-JAG1, PSEN1 and NOTCH2 proteins. The JAG1-CTF isoform was observable in longer exposures (not shown, see control lanes in <xref ref-type=Fig. 3 B,C). The NOTCH2 full length and N2-ICD isoforms were clearly detectable. (B–C) B3 cells treated with different concentrations of Epoxomicin versus DMSO (B), or 10 µM DAPT versus DMSO (C) for 24 h and cell lysates analyzed for JAG1 protein isoforms via western blot using rabbit anti-Jag1 antibody. (D) Western blotting of B3 cells transfected with C-terminal HA-tagged isoforms of rat Jag1 protein (50 µg total protein loaded per lane; blot probed with rabbit anti-Jag1 antibody). (E) B3 cells transfected with either FL-Jag1-HA of Jag1-CTF-HA constructs, followed by treatment with 10 µM DAPT (versus DMSO alone) for 24 h. Western blot probed with rabbit anti-Jag1. In all panels, blots were reprobed with mouse anti β-Actin as a loading control. Each blot is representative of n =3 independent biological replicates. " width="250" height="auto" />

DAPT-treatment of human lens B3 cells induces changes in endogenous JAG1 protein processing. (A) Endogenous JAG1, NOTCH2 and PSEN1 expression in B3 cell lysates. Each lane/strip blot contains 50 µg of B3 cell total protein that was separately probed with rabbit anti-Jag1, rabbit anti-Psen1 (N-terminus), or rat anti-Notch2 to reveal expression of FL-JAG1, PSEN1 and NOTCH2 proteins. The JAG1-CTF isoform was observable in longer exposures (not shown, see control lanes in <xref ref-type=Fig. 3 B,C). The NOTCH2 full length and N2-ICD isoforms were clearly detectable. (B–C) B3 cells treated with different concentrations of Epoxomicin versus DMSO (B), or 10 µM DAPT versus DMSO (C) for 24 h and cell lysates analyzed for JAG1 protein isoforms via western blot using rabbit anti-Jag1 antibody. (D) Western blotting of B3 cells transfected with C-terminal HA-tagged isoforms of rat Jag1 protein (50 µg total protein loaded per lane; blot probed with rabbit anti-Jag1 antibody). (E) B3 cells transfected with either FL-Jag1-HA of Jag1-CTF-HA constructs, followed by treatment with 10 µM DAPT (versus DMSO alone) for 24 h. Western blot probed with rabbit anti-Jag1.

(P) Cardiomyocyte number at 48 hpi following injection with recombinant Vegfaa and continuous bathing in DAPT or AG1478, n = 22–25. One-way ANOVA followed by Holms-Sidak’s multiple comparison post-hoc tests. All images are maximum intensity projections of 3D LSFM stacks unless otherwise stated. Scale bars, 50 μm. Data are represented as mean ± SEM, ∗ p ≤ 0.05, ∗∗ p ≤ 0.01, ∗∗∗ p ≤ 0.001, and ∗∗∗∗ p ≤ 0.0001.
