| Description: | CHO Tag-lite human mOR stable cell line from Cisbio (NCBI accession number: NM_000914.3, Bedford, Mass.) were seeded and grown to approximately 80% confluence in Ham F-12 with 10% FBS, 50 U/ml penicillin, 50 μg/ml streptomycin, 2 mM Hepes, and 1 mg/ml geneticin (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.). Cells were then harvested using accutase (Corning. Coming, N.Y.), centrifuged at 1300 RPM for 5 min, and plated at 5000 cells per 5 μL per well in a 5× dilution of stimulation buffer consisting of the HTRF cAMP Gi kit, water and IBMX at 0.5 mM (Cisbio, Bedford, Mass.) in white HTRF low volume 384 well plates (Cisbio, Bedford, Mass.). Plates were then incubated at 37° C. in 5% CO2 for 10 minutes. For the agonist assay, forskolin was added to a final concentration of 4 μM. For the antagonist assay, forskolin (4 μM) and DAMGO at EC90 final concentration were added. Test compounds were dissolved in DMSO and water, and then serially diluted to working concentrations such that the concentration of DMSO was less than 0.1%. Diluted test compounds were added at 2.5 μL per well, and plates were incubated at 37° C., and 5% CO2 for 15 minutes, and then at room temperature for 15 minutes. Next 5 μl/well of cAMP Eu-cryptate and 5 μl/well of anti-cAMP-d2 (both diluted 1:20 in lysis buffer) were added, and plates were incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. Following incubation, plates were read in a Synergy Neo2 multi-mode reader (Biotek, Winooski, Vt.). Plate reader settings were set to time resolved fluorescence with excitation at 330 nm and emissions of 620 nm and 665 nm. Emission fluorescence was normalized (665/620 nm signal×1000). For the agonist assay, data was normalized using the maximal DAMGO response. Measurements were performed in triplicate and the dose response was fit using nonlinear regression. |
