Figure Lengend Snippet: Chylomicrons stimulate GLP-1 release via FFA1 in GLUTag cells. ( a ) FFA1 ( Ffar1 ) expression was examined by RNA sequencing FACS-sorted primary L cells (GLU-Venus-positive, L+) and negative cells (GLU-Venus-negative, L−) collected in parallel from murine duodenum and GLUTag cells. FPKM, fragments per kilobase per million reads. ( b ) GLP-1 secretion from GLUTag cells treated with chylomicrons (CM; 10 μg/ml) or the selective FFA1 agonist AM-1638 (1 μmol/l) in the presence or absence of the FFA1 antagonist GW1100 (1 μmol/l, with 30 min pre-treatment). Data represent means ± SEM, n = 9 wells from three independent experiments; one-way ANOVA, *** p < 0.001. ( c ) GLUTag cells were transfected with 30 nmol/l Ffar1 siRNA or negative control (Ctrl) siRNA, and knockdown was validated by qRT-PCR. Data are presented as means ± SEM, n = 7 from three independent experiments; unpaired t test, * p < 0.05. ( d ) GLP-1 secretion from negative control (white bars) or Ffar1 siRNA (grey bars) transfected GLUTag cells treated with chylomicrons (CM; 10 μg/ml), AM-1638 (1 μmol/l) or forskolin/IBMX (F/I; 10 μmol/l each) in the presence of glucose (10 mmol/l). Data represent means ± SEM, n = 9 wells from three independent experiments; one-way ANOVA, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001
Article Snippet: GLUTag cells in 24-well plates were transfected with 30 nmol/l AllStars negative control siRNA, Ffar1 siRNA (Mm_Gpr40_2, target sequence: 5′-TGCGCTGGGCTTTCCATTGAA-3′) or Lpl siRNA (Mm_Lpl_5, target sequence: 5′-CAGCTCTATCTTGTTAGTTAA-3′) (Qiagen, Manchester, UK) using Lipofectamine 2000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Loughborough, UK) as per the manufacturer’s protocol.
