| | Beta arrestin 2 Interaction Assay (BRET assay) |
| Description: | Beta (β) arrestin 2 Interaction Assay (BRET assay) was performed using CHO-K1 cells stably expressing the GPR120L receptor using β-galactosidase (Beta gal) enzyme fragment complementation assay. The measurement of GPR120 activation upon agonist activation was directly provided by β-arrestin recruitment. One day before the β-arrestin 2 assay, CHO-K1 cells were seeded and incubated overnight at 37° C. in a 5% CO2 humidified atmosphere. Cells were treated with the test compounds in the various concentrations ranging from 30 μM to 1 nM and incubated for 2 hours for GPCR (GPR120) activation. Extent of Arrestin recruitment was measured by adding detection reagents for Beta gal complementation assay and was further incubated for 1 hour. The chemi-luminescent signal was detected on Polar Star (BMG Labtech). The dose-response curve was analyzed using Sigma Plot/Graph Pad. The EC50 (concentration of the test compounds where 50% of compounds' maximal activity is observed) values were calculated from the dose-response curve. |
