FRET analysis of ubiquitous inter-AFB expressed in i36 cells is not efficient in detecting αS aggregation under normal or pro-aggregating conditions. Induced i36 cells were transfected and assayed following the same protocol as described in Figure 3. (A) Images of AP FRET efficiency showed high FRET values (red regions) for the Ctrl + and a distribution of lower FRET values (blue and green regions) for all the other conditions comparable to the Ctrl–Scale bar, 10 μm. (B) Box plot of FRET efficiency indicated that only samples treated with leupeptin or microsome-associated αS aggregates show significant values compared to Ctrl–but not when compared to inter-AFB in untreated condition. *** (p < 0.001); **** (p < 0.0001); n.s., not significant. (C) WB analysis of Tx-S fraction of cell lysates transfected with inter-AFB in untreated conditions or treated with pro-aggregating agents. Immunoblotting analysis with Syn-1 or GFP antibody of Tx-S fractions of i36 cell lines transfected with inter-AFB shows the correct expression of the biosensor with the predicted molecular weight of about 45kDa in treated and control conditions.
