| | In Vitro Human SGLT2 Inhibition Assay |
| Description: | Human sodium/glucose co-transporter type 2 (SGLT2; accession number P31639; GI:400337) was cloned into pIRESpuro2 vector for mammalian expression (construct: HA-SGLT2-pIRESpuro2). HEK293 cells were transfected with the human HA-SGLT2-pIRESpuro2 vector and the bulk stable cell line was selected in presence of 0.5 μg/mL of puromycin. Human HA-SGLT2 cells were maintained in DMEM media containing 10% FBS, 1% GPS and 0.5 μg/mL of puromycin. The HEK293 cells expressing the human HA-SGLT2 were seeded in 384 well plates (30,000 cells/well) in DMEM media containing 10% FBS, 1% GPS and 0.5 μg/mL of puromycin, then incubated overnight at 37 C, 5% CO2. Cells were then washed with uptake buffer (140 mM NaCl, 2 mM KCl, 1 mM CaCl2, 1 mM MgCl2, 10 mM HEPES, 5 mM Tris, 1 mg/mL bovine serum albumin (BSA), pH 7.3). Twenty microliters of uptake buffer with or without testing compounds were added to the cells. Then, 20 microliters of uptake buffer containing 14C-AMG (100 nCi) were added to the cells. The cell plates were incubated at 37° C., 5% CO2 for 1-2 hours. After washing the cells with uptake buffer, scintillation fluid was added (40 microliters/well) and 14C-AMG uptake was measured by counting radioactivity using a scintillation coulter (TopCoulter NXT; Packard Instruments). |
