| | Inhibition of MTHFD2 |
| Description: | To determine the IC50 value of a compound, an 11-concentration dose-response curve with 3-fold difference in concentration between assay points was generated by using an acoustic dispenser (Echo 550 Liquid handler, Labcyte). Each assay point was run in duplicate and the assay was performed in a white 384-well ProxiPlate Plus (6008280, PerkinElmer). DMSO was used as negative control. The serial dilution in DMSO, from compound DMSO stock solution, was created by dispensing from a 384-well low dead volume microplate (LP-0200, Labcyte) and a 384-well polypropylene microplate 2.0 (PP-0200, Labcyte). A total of 2.5 μL MTHFD2 was preincubated with compound or DMSO for 10 min. The enzymatic reaction was initiated by adding 2.5 μL folitixorin (F680350, Toronto Research Chemicals). For background control, 5 μL buffer was added to the well. Final concentrations of the components in the assay were 3.4 nmol/L MTHFD2, 5 μmol/L folitixorin and 250 μmol/L NAD+. The final concentrations of all reagents in a total assay volume of 5 μL per well were 50 mmol/L Tris-HCl at pH 8.0, 100 mmol/L NaCl, 5 mmol/L MgCl2, 25 mmol/L Na3PO4 at pH 8.0, 0.005% (v/v) Tween-20, and 2 mmol/L 2-mercaptoethanol. After 15 min reaction time, 5 μL NAD(P)H-Glo detection reagent (G9061 or G9062, Promega) was dispensed in all wells and the plate was incubated for 60 min. Luminescence was measured on a plate reader (Envision, PerkinElmer or Sense, Hidex). The light signal produced is proportional to the amount of NAD(P)H in the sample. |
