PMA induced cell fusion, DYSF expression, and activation of PKC in BeWo cells while 4αPMA was inactive

Immunofluorescence analysis of BeWo cells treated with 0.25% DMSO (controls), 10 nM PMA, or 10 nM 4αPMA for 72 h. The cells were then fixed and subsequently double-labeled for detection of DYSF (red) and E-cadherin (green). Nuclei were labeled with DAPI. While there can be a low level of spontaneous fusion in control cells (in our hands this ranges from about 4 to 9%), most cells are not fused and have at their borders intact E-cadherin labeling. Moreover, DYSF labeling was not detectable in non-fused BeWo cells. However, treatment of BeWo cells with 10 nM PMA for 72 h led to increased levels of cell fusion as indicated by the breakdown of E-cadherin labeling and the expression of DYSF in fused cells. When BeWo cells were treated with 10 nM 4αPMA for 72 h there was no detectable increase in cell fusion or DYSF expression. Arrows indicate areas enlarged and placed in insets. Bar = 50 µm.

ab40772 staining E Cadherin in HT-29 (Human colorectal adenocarcinoma) cells by ICC/IF (Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence).  Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.1% tritonX-100. Samples were incubated with primary antibody at 1/500 dilution. An Alexa Fluor^® 488 Goat anti-Rabbit (ab150077) was used as the secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution. Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker (Alexa Fluor^® 594) (ab195889) at 1/200 dilution was used as a counterstain. DAPI was used as a nuclear counterstain. This is a confocal image showing membranous staining on HT-29 cell line.

Intracellular Flow Cytometry analysis of MCF7 (Human breast adenocarcinoma epithelial cell) cells labeling E Cadherin with purified ab40772 at 1/30 dilution (10µg/ml) (red). 10⁶ cells were fixed with 4% Paraformaldehyde. A Goat anti rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor^® 488) secondary antibody was used at 1/2000 dilution. Isotype control - Rabbit monoclonal IgG (Black). Unlabeled control - Cell without incubation with primary antibody and secondary antibody (Blue).

Overlay histogram showing A431 (Human epidermoid carcinoma cell line) cells stained with unpurifiedab40772 (red line).10⁶ cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 minutes) and incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab40772, 1/1000 dilution) for 30 minute at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight^® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) (ab96899) at 1/500 dilution for 30 minutes at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monoclonal) (0.1µg/1x10⁶ cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabeled sample (blue line) was also used as a control. Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 20mW Argon ion laser (488nm) and 525/30 bandpass filter.
