| Description: | HEK293 cells stably expressing OX2R are transfected with Gq alpha construct (6.4 ug per 10 cm dish) using Lipofectamine 3000 (ThermoFisher). 24 hours after transfection, cells are plated on poly-lysine-coated 96-well plates at 30,000 cells per well in Inositol-free DMEM+5% FCS with 5 uCi per ml Myo-[2-3H] Inositol (Perkin Elmer). Plates are incubated at 37° C. O/N in 8% C02 tissue culture incubator. Agonists are diluted serially in HBSS containing 10 mM Lithium Chloride. After removal of culture media, agonist solutions are added to the cells (100 ul/well) and incubated at 37° C. 45 min in 8% C02 incubator. Agonist solution is removed and cells are lysed on ice with 10 mM Formic Acid (40 ul/well) for 30 minutes. SPA Poly Lysine YSI beads (Perkin Elmer, cat #RPNQ0010) are added to the wells and mixed on a shaker for 30 minutes before reading on a Microbeta scintillation counter. Positive control curves run with all screens: orexin B and Yanagisawa (J. Med. Chem. 2015) agonist. |
