Mouse serum adiponectin binds only to the hek293 cells expressing t-cadherin.

(A) Experimental outline. HEK293 cells were transfected with mammalian expression vectors coding mouse T-cadherin (mCdh13), Calreticulin (mCalr), or AdipoR1 (mAdipor1). (B) Native-page analysis of adiponectin preparations. Adiponectin concentrations were measured by ELISA and the equal amount (50 ng) of adiponectin was analyzed. (C) Absolute copy numbers of mRNA levels of mouse mCdh13, mCalr, mAdipor1, and mAdipor2 were quantified. (D) Binding of adiponectin to HEK293 cells expressing none (N), mock (M), T-cadherin (T), or AdipoR1 (R1) (E) Dose-response cell-based binding study. Mouse serum (20 μg adiponectin/mL) was diluted and applied to the cells expressing mock or T-cadherin (left). The bound adiponectin was evaluated by blot intensity (right). Cell lysate following binding was separated by SDS-page and native-page. Essentially same results were obtained from more than three independent experiments.

Human serum adiponectin binds only to the hek293 cells expressing t-cadherin.

(A) Experimental outline. HEK293 cells were transfected with mammalian expression vectors coding human T-cadherin (hCDH13), Calreticulin (hCALR), or AdipoR1 (hADIPOR1). (B) Absolute copy numbers of mRNA levels of human T-cadherin (hCDH13), Calreticulin (hCALR), AdipoR1 (hADIPOR1), and AdipoR2 (hADIPOR2) were quantified. (C) Binding of human adiponectin in human serum to HEK293 cells. (D) Multimer analysis of bound adiponectin by native page. Essentially same results were obtained from more than three independent experiments.

Cell surface expression of adiponectin receptors.

(A) Experimental outline of transient expression in HEK293 cells. (B) Surface protein biotinylation analysis. Cell surface biotinylated proteins trapped on Streptavidin beads were eluted and analyzed in SDS-page in two lanes; x1 and x5 concentrations. Note that PA-tag antibody NZ-1 react with human podoplanin (40 KDa) in addition to PA-tagged proteins. GAPDH; control cytosolic protein. (C) Binding of mouse adiponectin in mouse serum (MS) to HEK293 cells. (D) Experimental outline of stable CHO cells expressing adiponectin receptors. (E) stable expressions detected by NZ-1. (F) Binding of mouse adiponectin in mouse serum to CHO cells. Adiponectin-binding from western blots (left) was calculated and expressed in right graph. Data are mean ± SEM. n = 4 ***p<0.01 (unpaired t-test). (G) Binding of NZ-1 antibody to CHO cells. NZ-1-binding from western blots (left) was calculated and expressed in right graph. Data are mean ± SEM. n = 4 ***p<0.001 (unpaired t-test). (H) Confocal immunofluorescence micrographs of CHO cells stained with anti-PA tag antibody NZ-1 (green). Cell nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). Scale bars = 250 nm.

Knockdown of T-cadherin but not Adipors nor calreticulin affected native adiponectin binding to c2c12 myotubes.

(A) Experimental outline. (B) Absolute expression levels of T-cadherin (mCdh13), AdipoR1 (mAdipor1), and AdipoR2 (mAdipor2) in differentiated C2C12 myotubes. (C) Knockdown efficiencies of adiponectin receptors. Data are mean ± SEM. n = 3 ***p<0.001 (unpaired t-test). (D) Binding of native adiponectin in mouse serum to C2C12 cells. Bound adiponectin was shown in representative western blot with a-tubulin as internal control and T-cadherin. (E) Adiponectin-binding. Data are mean ± SEM. n = 4 ***p<0.001 (unpaired t-test). (F) Amount of T-cadherin protein expression. Data are mean ± SEM. n = 4 ***p<0.001 (unpaired t-test). (G) Correlation between bound adiponectin and T-cadherin protein expression. n = 16 a linear regression r2 = 0.9896.
