Abstract
Context
Upon palmitate oversupply, membrane fatty acid-transporter CD36 (SR-B2) permanently translocates from endosomal storage to the sarcolemma, inducing lipotoxicity. CD36 trans location results from endosomal alkalinisation elicited by palmitate-induced disattachment of the cytoplasmic V-1-subcomplex from the membrane-integrated V-0-subcomplex of vacuolar-type H+-ATPase.
Objective
Develop a CD36 fluorescent labeling technique as initial step towards live cell imaging.
Methods
Three human CD36 (hCD36) mutants were constructed via insertion of a tetracysteine motif at different positions within the extracellular domain. Constructs were lentivirally transduced for subsequent CD36 labeling with fluorescein-arsenical hairpin-binder (FlAsH). Cell imaging was combined with V-0/V-1 immunostaining and Western blotting.
Results
Transduction of hCD36-wildtype and mutants yielded corresponding proteins in HL-1 cardiomyocytes. Tetracysteine mutant-2 (hCD36-TC2) showed similar fatty acid uptake to wild type. FlAsH staining revealed a speckled pattern reminiscent of endosomes. We found decreased V-1 co-localization with CD36 upon high-palmitate culturing. Conversely, V-0 consistently co-localized with CD36.
Conclusion
hCD36-TC2 is a possible candidate for application of biarsenical dyes in live imaging studies pending further investigation. Our data is compatible with V-0/V-1 disassembly in high-palmitate-treated cells.
