The T-RExTM 293 cell line stably expresses the tetracycline repressor protein enabling the silencing of the gene of interest unless tetracycline is added to the culture medium. TRExTM 293 is a stable transformed cell line of HEK 293 obtained with a plasmid that encodes the Tet repressor under the control of the human CMV promoter. Several stable clones (3?) of each TRPM4 mutant were obtained according to Invitrogen protocol by selecting with blasticidin (Tet repressor) and zeocin (TRPM4). These stable clones were used for the electrophysiological study.Western Blotting ElectrophysiologyCurrents were purchase CPI-203 recorded from whole-cell or inside-out patches of T-RexTM 293 transfected cells with a patch-clamp amplifier Axopatch 200B (Axon instruments, Forster city, CA, USA) using pClamp 9 software (Axon instruments). Experiments were conducted at room temperature. For patch-clamp experiments in inside-out conditions, cells were bathed in a solution containing (in mM): 140 NaCl; 4.8 KCl; 1.2 MgCl2; 0.1 CaCl2; 10 glucose; and 10 HEPES, pH 7.4 (with NaOH). Solutions perfused at the inside of the membrane contained the previous solution (with 1 mM CaCl2) or, for determination of ionic selectivity, a low NaCl 18325633 solution (in mM):Both input and biotinylated fractions were analyzed on 8 polyacrylamide gel and detected with anti-TRPM4 antibody raised against the C terminal portion of TRPM4 from amino-acids 1138 to 1156 (Pineda, Berlin, Germany) and anti-a-actin A2066 (Sigma, St. Louis, Missouri, USA) antibodies. The blots obtained were CTX-0294885 quantified using IGOR Pro (Wavemetrics, Lake Oswego, Oregon, USA) software.StatisticsVariant prevalence in the BrS vs control cohorts was tested by the Fisher exact test and one sided p values are presented in table 1.
