| Description: | A mixture of forskolin (5 M final for FPR2 or 10 M final for FPR1) and IBMX (200 M final) were added to 384-well Proxiplates (Perkin-Elmer) pre-dotted with test compounds in DMSO (1% final) at final concentrations in the range of 0.020 nM to 100 M. Chinese Hamster Ovary cells (CHO) overexpressing human FPR1 or human FPR2 receptors were cultured in F-12 (Ham s) medium supplemented with 10% qualified FBS, 250 g/ml zeocin and 300 g/ml hygromycin (Life Technologies). Reactions were initiated by adding 2,000 human FPR2 cells per well or 4,000 human FPR1 cells per well in Dulbecco s PBS (with calcium and magnesium) (Life Technologies) supplemented with 0.1% BSA (Perkin-Elmer). The reaction mixtures were incubated for 30 min at room temperature. The level of intracellular cAMP was determined using the HTRF HiRange cAMP assay reagent kit (Cisbio) according to manufacturer s instruction. Solutions of cryptate conjugated anti-cAMP and d2 flurorophore-labelled cAMP were made in a supplied lysis buffer separately. Upon completion of the reaction, the cells were lysed with equal volume of the d2-cAMP solution and anti-cAMP solution. After a 1-h room temperature incubation, time-resolved fluorescence intensity was measured using the Envision (Perkin-Elmer) at 400 nm excitation and dual emission at 590 nm and 665 nm. A calibration curve was constructed with an external cAMP standard at concentrations ranging from 1 M to 0.1 pM by plotting the fluorescent intensity ratio from 665 nm emission to the intensity from the 590 nm emission against cAMP concentrations. The potency and activity of a compound to inhibit cAMP production was then determined by fitting to a 4-parametric logistic equation from a plot of cAMP level versus compound concentrations. |
