Fig. 8. Chronic GIPR agonism increases membrane GIPR internalization in vitro.
a HEK293T cells overexpressing GIPR used to determine homologous whole cells 125I-GIP membrane binding. Cells treated with or without DA-GIP, washed, and binding using 125I-labeled human GIP was measure as CPM in a TopCount NXT gamma counter and plotted as % 125I-GIP bound. n = 2 wells/treatment. b, c Comparison of whole cell, membrane, and intracellular GIPR (red, Alexa Fluor 647) content in CHOK1 cells overexpressing GIPR pre-treated with or without DA-GIP for 24 h. b Quantitated GIPR fluorescence (RFU) and c representative image. n = 6 wells/treatment, two-way ANOVA with Sidak’s test for multiple comparisons, ****p ≤ 0.0001. Data are presented as mean values ± SEM. d, e Time course comparison of GIPR internalization upon stimulation with GIP in CHOK1 cells overexpressing GIPR (red, Alexa Fluor 647) pre-treated with or without DA-GIP for 24 h. d, Quantitated membrane GIPR fluorescence (RFU) with background fluorescence subtracted and e, representative images, n = 3 wells/treatment. Data are presented as mean values ± SEM.
