A Single Cell PIP 3 Assay Based on Akt PH domain Translocation Assay Protocol and Analysis Testing the FXM Ligands Perturbation of the System with RNAi and Chemical Reagents
Assay Protocol Transfect YFP Akt PH domain and CFP KRAS CAAX Cells in 8-well chamber slide Serum Deprive 1 hour Run at 37 o Image on confocal microscope 40 scans w/ 10 second interval Ligand added at 50 seconds
Correlation Coefficient Image Analysis Time0 secs.140 secs. C5a
Individual and Average Responses Akt PH Domain Translocation after 100 nM C5a Stimulation
Diverse Patterns of Akt PH Domain Translocation
Responses to C5a, UTP and Fc R1 C5a responses are consistent and robust. C5a stimulation used for current perturbation studies. Translocation does not occur following UDP/UTP stimulation. Responses to Fc R1stimulation vary with cell batch.
100 M UTP 0.44 M F(ab’) nM C5a Akt PH Domain Translocation with UTP, FcgR1 and C5a Stimulation
Variability in the Fc R1 Response
Perturbation Experiments C5a stimulation utilized for perturbation studies. Lentiviral cell lines expressing GFP interfere with the YFP-Akt PH fluorescence signal. Three CD4 lentiviral cell lines: SHIP1, G 4 and G i3. Chemical perturbation studies initiated with LY
Knockdown of SHIP1 Increases Translocation
