Figure 8. GLP-1R expression in MIN-6 cells transfected with RIP/GLP-1. Parental, CVM/GLP-1-transfected, and RIP/GLP-1 transfected MIN-6 cells were cultured for 12 h in the presence of 6 mM glucose. After removal of the culture medium, the cells were collected and the protein extract subjected to Western blot analysis with a polyclonal antibody directed against human GLP-1R. A, An individual Western blot analysis. B, A graph representing the average of three independent experiments, with the GLP-1R levels normalized by the total protein content of each individual cell extract. For glucose response study, MIN-6 cells transfected with RIP/GLP-1 were cultured in serum-free medium in the presence of various concentrations of glucose (0, 3, 6, 15 mM) for 12 h. C, An individual Western blot analysis. D, A graph representing the average of three independent experiments, with the GLP-1R levels normalized by the total protein content of each individual cell extract.
