Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Quantitative analysis of Western blot analysis and fluorescence measurements (shown in ) of the time course of in vitro PAR degradation using recombinant ARH3. Each line plot in the graph represents mean ± SEM of relative intensities (n=3). ( B ) Quantitative analysis of Western blot analysis and bioluminescence imaging (shown in ) of 231-PAR-T NanoLuc cells treated with 20 µM Niraparib or 20 µM PARG inhibitor for 2 hr prior to UV radiation. Each bar in the graph represents the mean ± SEM of the relative intensities (n=3, one-way ANOVA, *p<0.05, **p<0.001, and ***p<0.0001; ns=not significant). ( C ) Measurements of ELISA and fluorescence intensities using 0, 0.625, 1.25, and 2.5 nM concentrations of purified PAR. Each bar in the graph in represents the mean ± SEM of the relative intensities (n=3, paired t-test, *p<0.05, **p<0.01, and ***p<0.001; ns=not significant). ( D ) Immunofluorescence assay using WWE-Fc to measure PAR formation in response to H 2 O 2 using 293T cells. The cells were treated with 20 µM PJ34 (vs. untreated control, ‘Un’) for 2 hr prior to 15 min of treatment with 1 mM H 2 O 2 . The images were collected using a confocal microscope. ( E ) Quantification of the results in ( D ). Each bar in the graph represents the mean ± SEM of the relative levels of the fluorescence intensity of PAR normalized to DAPI (n=3 biological replicates with at least 150 cells in total, one-way ANOVA, ***p<0.0001). ( F ) Representation of the dynamic ranges of PAR-T sensors in comparison to other available PAR detection tools as indicated: (a) Western blotting with WWE-Fc versus live-cell luciferase assay using PAR-T NanoLuc was performed using UV-induced DNA damage in MDA-MB-231 Luc cells (from ( B )); (b) Immunofluorescence with WWE-Fc versus live-cell imaging using PAR-T ddGFP was performed using H 2 O 2 -mediated PARP-1 activation in 293T cells (from ( D )); (c) Western blotting with WWE-Fc versus fluorescence assay with PAR-T ddGFP was performed using ARH3 mediated degradation of PAR in vitro (from ( A )); (d) ELISA versus fluorescence assay with PAR-T ddGFP was performed using immobilized PAR (from ( C )).
Article Snippet: Plate-based fluorescent assays using PAR-T ddGFP were performed in a manner similar to the ELISA assays according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Cell Biolabs, XDN-5114).
