| | EP4 Antagonistic Activity Measurement |
| Description: | CHO cells expressing human EP4 receptor subtypes were prepared according to the methods of Nishigaki et al. (Non-Patent Literature 4), and used for experiment. Cells cultured to subconfluent were detached, and suspended in an assay medium (MEM containing 1 mmol/L IBMX, 1% HSA) such that a concentration became 1×106 cells/mL. For reaction, PGE2 was added to the cell suspension (25 μL) in a final concentration of 10 nmol/L, either alone or as a 25-μL PGE2 solution containing the test compound. After 30 minutes of reaction at room temperature, the amount of cAMP in the cells was quantified according to the method in the descriptions of the cAMP assay kit (CISBIO).Note here that the antagonistic effect (IC50 value) of the test compound was calculated as a value that represents an inhibition rate against a reaction with PGE2 alone at 10 nM, a concentration that produces a submaximal cAMP producing effect. |
