| | THP-1 RPS6 ELISA Assay |
| Description: | To measure the Phosphorylated Ribosomal Protein S6 (RPS6) in cell lysates, THP-1 cells (Human Acute Monocytic Leukemia) are purchased from ATCC (Manassas, Va.) and maintained in RPMI with 10% FBS (Gibco/Life Technologies, Carlsbad, Calif.). For the assay, THP-1 cells are serum starved overnight in RPMI, then plated in RPMI (2×105 cells/well in 90 μL) into 96-well flat-bottom tissue culture treated plates (Corning, Corning, N.Y.), in the presence or absence of a concentration range of test compounds. Covered plates are incubated for 2 hours at 37° C., 5% CO2 then treated with or without 10 nM MCP-1(MYBioSource, San Diego, Calif.) for 15 minutes at 37° C., 5% CO2. Plates are centrifuged at 1600 RPM and supernatants are removed. Cells are lysed in Lysis Buffer (Cell Signaling, Danvers, Mass.) with Protease Inhibitor (Calbiochem/EMD, Germany), PMSF (Sigma, St Louis Mo.), HALTS (Thermo Fisher, Rockford, Ill.) for 30 min on wet ice. Cell lysates are frozen at −80° C. before testing. The lysates are tested in the Human/Mouse/Rat Phospho-RPS6 ELISA (R&D Systems, Inc. Minn, MN). The plate is measured using a microplate reader (SpectraMax M5-Molecular Devices, LLC Sunnyvale, Calif.) set to 450 nm with a wavelength correction of 540. IC50 determination is performed by fitting the curve of inhibitor percent inhibition versus the log of the inhibitor concentration using the GraphPad Prism 5.0 software. |
