MQAE is a fluorescently-labeled deoxyglucose analog that is used primarily to directly monitor glucose uptake by living cells and tissues. It is also used as a topical contrast reagent for the detection of neoplasia. MQAE can be used in real-time confocal, high-resolution, or wide-field fluorescence microscopy as well as in flow cytometry. The probe can be excited by the Argon laser at 488 nm to give the environment-sensitive fluorescence. It has lower photostability than the rhodamine-based fluorescent probes.

    Description

    MQAE is a fluorescently-labeled deoxyglucose analog that is used primarily to directly monitor glucose uptake by living cells and tissues. It is also used as a topical contrast reagent for the detection of neoplasia. MQAE can be used in real-time confocal, high-resolution, or wide-field fluorescence microscopy as well as in flow cytometry.

    General Protocol

    1 Preparation of MQAE working solution
    1.1 Preparation of the stock solution
    Dissolve 1 mg MQAE in 0.3066 mL DMSO to obtain 10 mM of MQAE.
    Note: It is recommended to store the stock solution at -20°C -80°C away from light and avoid repetitive freeze-thaw cycles.
    1.2 Preparation of MQAE working solution
    Dilute the stock solution in Krebs-hepes buffer (20 mM HEPES, 128 mM NaCl, 2.5 mM KCl, 2.7 mM CaCl2, 1 mM MgCl2, 16 mM glucose, pH 7.4) to obtain 5-10 mM of MQAE working solution.
    Note: Please adjust the concentration of MQAE working solution according to the actual situation.

    2 Cell staining
    2.1 For suspension cells: Centrifuge at 1000 g at 4°C for 3-5 minutes and then discard the supernatant. Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.
    For adherent cells: Discard the cell culture medium, and add trypsin to dissociate cells to make a single-cell suspension. Centrifuge at 1000 g at 4°C for 3-5 minutes and then discard the supernatant. Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.
    2.2 Add 1 mL of MQAE working solution, and then incubate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
    2.3 Centrifuge at 400 g at 4°C for 3-4 minutes and then discard the supernatant.
    2.4 Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.
    2.5 Resuspend cells with serum-free cell culture medium or PBS.

    3 Storage
    -20°C, 1 year. Protect from light.
    4 Precautions
    4.1 It is recommended to store the stock solution at -20°C or -80°Caway from light and avoid repetitive freeze-thaw cycles.
    4.2 Please adjust the concentration of MQAE working solution according to the actual situation.
    4.3 This product is for R&D use only, not for drug, household, or other uses.
    4.4 For your safety and health, please wear a lab coat and disposable gloves to operate.

    In Vivo:

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    • Protocol 1

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

      Solubility: 2.08 mg/mL (6.38 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

      This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.08 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

      Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.38 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

      Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

    For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
