A live-imaging protocol for tracking receptor dynamics in single cells

Adjacent membrane receptors can show different cellular responses to ligand stimulation. Here, we describe a super-resolution microscopy imaging protocol for tracking the dynamics of two different membrane-bound receptors in single cells. We describe the transfection protocol by electroporation. We...

Sumario:Adjacent membrane receptors can show different cellular responses to ligand stimulation. Here, we describe a super-resolution microscopy imaging protocol for tracking the dynamics of two different membrane-bound receptors in single cells. We describe the transfection protocol by electroporation. We detail the imaging procedure for receptors in a single cell. We then outline the data analysis pipeline. We have applied this protocol to imaging of endocytosis of the LOX-1 and AT1 in CHO-K1 cells, but the protocol can be applied to a variety of membrane receptors in other cell lines. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Takahashi et al. (2021).
