Appropriate mixtures of these buffers gave the desired sodium concentrations. Solid NaCl was added to Buffer B to give a saturating concentration of 967 mm; no corrections for the increased ionic strength of the solution were applied.

Page 7 of 10 ANG-1 (AM) Response to TRPV1 Channel Agonization by Capsaicin in HEK293 Cells Figure 2a: Plot quantifying the enhanced fluorescence of ANG-1, resulting from increased cytosolic sodium concentration provoked by capsaicin activation of TRPV1 channels. Figure 2b: ANG-1 fluorescence before (left image, point A in Figure 2a) and after (right image, point B in Figure 2a) capsaicin activation of TRPV1 channels. TRPV1 is the natural receptor for vanilloid molecules like capsaicin. Once activated, it permits an influx of cations, including sodium and calcium, into the cell. ANG-1 responds to the influx of sodium over resting sodium levels with a nearly 2.5-fold increase in fluorescence (F/F0), as quantified in Figure 2a and imaged in Figure 2b. Technical Details: HEK293 cells permanently overexpressing TRPV1 were loaded 70-80 min at room temperature with 5 µm ANG-1 (AM) + 75 ppm Pluronic F-127 in HCO3- buffered DMEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), under 5% CO2 atmosphere. Experiments were conducted in HBSS. Excitation occurred at 488 nm. Average response of 108 cells. Experimental results courtesy of Dr. JPY Kao, University of Maryland
Page 8 of 10 ANG-1 (AM) Response to Monovalent Cation Ionophore Gramicidin in REF52 Cells Figure 3a: Plot quantifying the increase in the fluorescence of ANG-1, resulting from increased cytosolic sodium concentration brought about by the monovalent cation ionophore gramicidin. Figure 3b: ANG-1 fluorescence before (left image, point A in Figure 3a) and after (right image, point B in Figure 3a) sodium influx due to gramicidin application. Gramicidin acts as a channel for inorganic monovalent cations. ANG-1 in REF52 cells responds to the gramicidin-induced influx of sodium over resting sodium levels with a nearly 3.5-fold increase in fluorescence, as quantified in Figure 3a and imaged in Figure 3b. Technical Details: REF52 cells were loaded for 1-2 hours at room temperature with 5 µm ANG-1 (AM) + 75 ppm Pluronic F-127 in HCO3-buffered DMEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), under 5% CO2 atmosphere. Experiments were conducted in HBSS. Excitation occurred at 488 nm. Each trace is the average response of 26-39 cells. Cells were used immediately after loading.

Page 9 of 10 ANG-1 (AM) Response to Ouabain Inhibition of the Sodium Pump in Astrocytes Figure 1a: Gray scale image of astrocyte loaded with ANG-1 (AM) Figure 1b: False color image of astrocyte loaded with ANG-1 (AM), prior to sodium pump inhibition by ouabain. Figure 1c: False color image of astrocyte loaded with ANG-1 (AM), during sodium pump inhibition by ouabain. Ouabain inhibits the sodium pump of living cells, causing cytosolic sodium concentration to rise. ANG-1 (AM) responds to the increased sodium concentration with increased fluorescence, as demonstrated in the fluorescence change from Figure 1b to Figure 1c.

Page 10 of 10 ANG-1 (AM) Loading Protocol The following is supplied as a starting point for non-invasive loading of ANG-1 via the acetoxymethyl (AM) ester version. Due to cell type and other experimental variations, loading conditions will require optimization. 1. Prepare a 1 mm stock solution of ANG-1 (AM) in anhydrous dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). For a 500 µg vial, dissolve the contents of the vial in 450 µl DMSO. For a 50 µg vial, use 45 µl DMSO. 2. Divide the stock solution into aliquots that will be consumed per experiment. Store the aliquots at -20 ºC, protected from moisture and light. Repeated freezing and thawing of a stock solution typically leads to degradation of the product via hydrolysis of the AM esters For your convenience, we supply ANG-1 (AM) in 50 µg packages. 3. Dilute the stock solution to twice the original volume with a solution of 20% Pluronic F-127 in DMSO. 4. Disperse the ANG-1/Pluronic F-127 solution into 100 times the volume of serumfree culture medium. The final ANG-1 (AM) concentration is 5 µm. (The concentration of ANG-1 AM an important variable requiring optimization.) Pluronic F-127 is 0.1% of the final solution. 5. Incubate the cells for one to two hours at room temperature. (Incubation time and temperature also require optimization.) 6. Remove the cell loading medium and wash the cells with serum-free and dyefree medium. 7. The cells are now loaded with ANG-1 (AM) and ready for your sodium imaging experiments.
