Ecto-ART expression and activity on microglia from mixed glial cell cultures. (a) Reactivity of fluorochrome-conjugated ARTC2.1 and ARTC2.2-specific mAbs was analyzed by flow cytometry of BALB/c WT spleen CD3+ T cells, F4/80+ macrophages (MΦ). or CD11b+GLAST microglia from BALB/c WT mixed glial cell cultures. BALB/c ARTC2.1−/− and ARTC2.2−/− cells were used as negative controls. (b) Etheno-NAD (eNAD+) can be used as surrogate substrate for ARTC2, which etheno-ADP-ribosylates cell surface proteins. This can be detected by use of etheno-adenosine-specific mAb 1G4. Ecto-ART activity was analyzed by measuring etheno-ADP-ribosylation of cell surface proteins on BALB/c WT and ARTC2.1−/− spleen MΦ (upper panel) and on microglia from mixed glial cell cultures (lower panel) after incubating cells with 100 µM eNAD+ (blue), with 100 µM eNAD+ and 2 mM DTT (red) or without additions (grey). Etheno-ADP-ribosylated proteins were detected with mAb 1G4. Data are representative of 3 independent experiments.
