产品描述

FM 4-64,英文全名:N-(3-Triethylammoniumpropyl)-4-(6-(4-(Diethylamino) Phenyl) Hexatrienyl) Pyridinium Dibromide,是一种亲脂的苯乙烯染料,用作一种活细胞探针示踪酵母整体膜内在化和运输到液泡。FM 4-64是一种灵敏的液泡动力学分析探针,检测一系列相关事件,包括有丝分裂中的分离结构形成、液泡分裂和融合事件,以及液泡蛋白质分拣蛋白突变体在不同阶段的液泡形态。FM 4-64具水溶性、对细胞无毒性,在水溶液中基本无荧光,一旦插入脂膜表面发出强烈的长波长红色荧光。FM 4-64与呈绿色荧光的FM 1-43(MX4014)在合适的滤片下能够区分开,允许双色实时观察膜的再循环。

FM 4-64FX是可固定的FM 4-64(MX4016)类似物,能承受基于醛类的固定剂(比如:多聚甲醛或戊二醛)。

使用方法(EAEC binding assay in HEK293 cell suspension):

Binding assays are performed with cell suspensions in 15 ml conical tubes as follows:

  1. Stain approximately a total of2 x 106 cells in suspension by adding 300 µl of 5 µg/ml of FM 4-64FX and 4’,6’-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) for nucleus visualization for 5 min, followed by incubation with EAEC expressing GFP.

Note: DAPI can also be added at the end of the experiment as part of the anti-fade solution. HEK293 cell membranes are stained with FM 4-64FX before EAEC infection to avoid staining of bacterial membranes. If wish, FM 4-64FX staining can be skipped and proceed with the infection with fluorescent bacteria.

  1. Remove the excess of FM 4-64FX dye on cells by adding 10 ml of HBSS to the tubes and spinning cells down at 250 × g(~1,500 rpm) for 5 min.
  2. Mix 1 x 106FM 4-64FX-stained HEK293 cell derivatives expressing or not Muc1 with approximately 2 x 107 CFUs of GFP-EAEC strains to a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 1:20 (cell:bacteria) in 1 ml of fresh DMEM medium. Incubate the cells for 1 h at 37 °C and 5% CO2.
  3. After 1 h incubation, wash the cells three times by adding 10 ml of HBSS buffer and by gently inverting the tube 2-3 times. Centrifuge the cells at 100 × g(~1,000 rpm) for 2 min to allow cell precipitation, but minimizing unbound bacteria sedimentation. Repeat HBSS-washes two more times.
  4. Remove the supernatant by aspiration using a disposable transfer pipette or a vacuum system (care should be taken not to disturb or aspirate the cells at the bottom of the tube; most unbound bacteria settle at later times and lower speeds).
  5. Fix cells by resuspending in 100 µl of PBS-5% formalin (g., 50 µl PBS + 50 formalin at 5% [v:v]). Examine the cells immediately or save at 4 °C to analyze it later, preferably during the first 48 h.
  6. Use 10 µl of cell suspension to prepare a smear on glass slides by extending the cell suspension with a coverslip. Let smear to dry out for about 10 min, then coat smear with a drop of anti-fade-DAPI.
  7. Analyze the slides by using a fluorescence microscope equipped with wavelength filters for blue (365/10 excitation/420LP emission), green (480/20 excitation/510LP emission), and red (535/30 excitation/580LP emission). You will see DNA stained in blue, cells membranes stained in red and bacteria in fluorescent green. A representative example of a binding assay with the prototype EAEC 042 strain and its isogenic fimbria mutant (042aafA) is illustrated in Figure 1.

HEK293 and HEK293-Muc1 cells were infected in suspension with EAEC strain 042 or with its isogenic fimbria mutant (042aafA), each expressing a GFP reporter and analyzed by fluorescence microscopy (40x). EAEC042 is in green, cell membranes are stained in red with FM 4-64FX, and DNA is stained in blue with DAPI.

使用方法(Uptake of FM4-64FX):

Microscopic analysis of FM4-64FX uptake was carried out as previously described [5] with slight modifications. Briefly, exponentially growing promastigotes (5×106 cells) were incubated 10 min in the dark at 27°C in complete HOMEM medium with 10μg/mL FM4-64FX. After incubation, 1 mL of cold PBS was added to stop up-take. Cells were fixed with cold 2% paraformaldehyde solution in PBS at 4°C during 5 min. Cells were resuspended in 100 μL PBS with 10μg/mL Hoechst 33342 and imaged immediately on poly-lysine coated slide.

使用方法(plasma membrane localization):Isolation of rice protoplast from culms of etiolated seedlings and subsequent transfection were performed as described previously. For plasma membrane localization, a 5 μg ml1 solution of the membrane-selective fluorescent vital dye FM4-64FX was used to stain the transfected protoplasts. Protoplasts were observed under a 60× objective. The fluorescence of FM4-64FX and GFP in cells was analyzed using a 543 nm helium/neon laser and a 488 nm argon laser, respectively, using an LSM410 confocal laser scanning microscope.

使用方法

  1. 储存液配制

于实验前,将冻干粉置于室温回温至少20min,加入无菌水或DMSO配制成5mM或其他浓度储存液,比如,对于100μg FM 4-64FX(Mw: 788.75)加入25.3μl DMSO,充分溶解后即得到5mM储存液,根据单次用量分装。需注意,FM 4-64FX的储存液相对于FM4-64来说不稳定,请置于≤-20℃冻存,于2周内使用,避免反复冻融。

  1. 染色方法(仅作参考)

【注意】:

a)以下以爬片生长的贴壁活细胞的质膜染色为例,仅作参考。最佳的染色条件根据使用细胞特征进行调整。

b)由于FM 4-64快速被内吞,很有必要参考下方的温度和时间指导来减慢内吞,提高质膜的选择性标记和成像。内吞很可能在染色的10min内发生。

c)以下步骤推荐使用不含钙镁的HBSS(MS3505-500ML)。钙镁的存在明显会加速染料内吞,导致质膜选择性染色很弱。
