Analyses of TNAP expression and activity by immunofluorescence staining, Western blot, and enzyme activity assay. Cell analyses were performed in five different ALPLtg PDL-hTERT cell lines, the wt line and control PDL-hTERT that did not undergo genome editing. (A) TNAP expression (green) was detected by immunofluorescence after nuclear counterstaining with DAPI (blue). Representative images are shown. Scale bars = 50 µm. (B) Quantification of TNAP signals in IF images were done by corrected total cell fluorescence (CTCF) for ten random cells per image, and five images per cell line (n = 50). (C) Specific TNAP activity was measured by a CSPD assay confirming the spontaneous activity of the expressed protein. N = 4 per condition. (D–F) TNAP expression level and the expression of the mitochondrial protein TOMM20 in total cell lysates were determined semi-quantitatively by Western blot analysis in relation to the housekeeping protein beta-actin/ACTB. A lysate of a TNAP overexpressing cell line (ALPL over) was used as positive control. A representative immunoblot is shown in (C). White pixels indicate signal oversaturation. Quantification results in E and F are presented as mean ± SEM, N = 3 per condition.
