Activation of human somatostatin receptor subtype-2 (hSSTR2) by exogenously-added somatostatin.

Abstract

<p>Yeast strains IMFD-70, IMFD-72, IMFD-70ZsD and IMFD-72ZsD were transformed with pGK421-SSTR2. All transformants were grown in SD selective medium for 18 h. The cells then were incubated for another 4 h in pH-adjusted SD selective medium with or without 10 μM somatostatin (SST, 14 aa peptide). (<i>A</i>) The GFP fluorescence of 10,000 cells was measured by flow cytometry. Mean values of the green fluorescence signal of 10,000 cells. Error bars represent the standard deviations (<i>n</i> = 3); ***, <i>p</i> < 0.001, by one-way ANOVA, Tukey’s post test. (<i>B</i>, <i>C</i>) Visualization of the green fluorescence. (<i>B</i>) Cells were examined using the 40× objective lens of a fluorescence microscope. Exposure time was 1 s. The left photographs are fluorescence micrographs, and the right photographs are bright-field micrographs. (<i>C</i>) Cells were examined using the 100× objective lens of a fluorescence microscope. Exposure time was 0.33 s. </p
