| | [35S]-GTPgamma-delta binding assay (inverse antagonist) |
| Description: | Briefly, for membrane parathion, HEK293/Ga15/hH3R cells were grown to confluence, harvested and the cell pellets were suspended in TEL buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl buffer, 1 mM EGTA, 0.1 mM PMSF). Homogenate and centrifuge at 1,000 g for 10 min. Centrifuge the supernatant at 46,000 g for 30 min. Suspend the membrane pellet in 50 mM Tris with 0.32 M sucrose, pH 7.0. Aliquot at 1 mg protein/mL. Keep frozen and store at −80° C. until use. All compounds were prepared by dissolving in DMSO to make 10 mM stock. The 10 mM stock was used as top concentration (1 μM) to carry out 10-points, 3-fold dilution scheme using DMSO in a 96-well plate to make the compound dose plate. H3R GTPγδ binding assay was performed as followings: thaw the membrane at 37° C., chill on ice, add GDP and the membrane to assay buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, 100 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, pH 7.4, and 0.2%, BSA). Stay on ice for 20 min. For inverse agonist mode: Add 20 μL testing compound (10 points, 3-fold dilution from 1 μM), 20 μL buffer, 140 μL membrane solution (GDP 10μM, membrane protein 20 μg/well) to the assay plate, and preincubate at room temperature for 30 min. Add 20 μL [35S]-GTPγδ (final 200 pM) and incubate at room temperature for 60 min. For antagonist mode: Add 20 μL agonist (R-alpha-methylhistamine, final concentration 1 μM), 20 μL testing compound (final top concentration 1 μM, 3-fold dilution, 10 points), 20 μL [35S]-GTPγδ (final 200 pM), 140 μL membrane solution (total 200 μL, GDP 10μM, membrane protein 20 μg/well) to the assay plate. Incubate at room temperature for 60 min. Filter the assay plate on GF/C (non-PEI coated) plate to stop the assay. Dry GF/C plate for 1 h. Add 50 μL scintillation fluid and count on the MicroBeta.Data Analysis: The CPM values were calculated into % of inhibition with the following formula:For inverse agonist mode: % of inhibition=(DMSO control CPM−Compound CPM)/(DMSO control CPM−GTP control CPM)×100. |
