Application of PK105b to measure NE activation in acute experimental colitis. (A) Distal or proximal colons were excised from mice with acute colitis induced by TNBS and labeled ex vivo with 1 µM PK105b. Probe binding was detected by in-gel fluorescence (n = 3–5). *Indicates high-molecular weight species of unknown identity. (B) Immunoblotting of samples in (A) with an NE-specific antibody to reveal total NE expression. (C) Merged image of PK105b labeling (active NE; magenta) and immunoblot (total NE expression; green). (D) Immunoprecipitation of PK105b-labeled inflamed distal colon lysate with a NE-specific antibody. (E) Competition of PK105b labeling in inflamed distal colon lysates with PK101. (F) In-gel fluorescence and NE immunoblot of distal colon lysates with or without PK105b labeling. (G) Distal colon lysates from A labeled with Cy5-V-DPP.
