Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  In Vitro Inhibition of DAGL
Description:  Briefly, membrane proteome (1 mg/ml, 20 μL) was prepared from HEK293T cells (transiently transfected with hDAGLα-FLAG or hDAGLα-S472A-FLAG, hDAGLβ-FLAG or hDAGLβ-S443A-FLAG) as described in Example 16. The proteome was incubated at room temperature with vehicle (DMSO) or compound in 0.5 μL DMSO for 30 min. The membrane proteome sample was subsequently treated for 30 min with HT-01 probe (1 μM) or FP-Rh probe (1 μM). The reactions were quenched with 10 μL 3× Laemmli sample buffer (final concentrations: 60 mM Tris-Cl pH 6.8, 2% (w/v) SDS, 10% (v/v) glycerol, 5% (v/v) (3-mercaptoethanol, 0.01% (v/v) bromophenol blue). The samples were directly loaded and resolved on SDS page gel (10% acrylamide). The gels were scanned using a ChemiDoc MP system (Cy3 settings, 605/50 filter).The resolved proteins were transferred from the gels to a polyvinyldifluoride membrane for Western Blotting using a Trans-Blot Turbo (BioRad). FLAG-tagged enzymes were stained using rabbit anti-FLAG as primary antibody, and goat-anti-rabbit HRP as secondary antibody. The blot was developed in the dark using a 10 mL luminal solution, 100 μL ECL enhancer and 3 μL H2O2. Chemiluminescence was visualized using a ChemiDoc XRS (BioRad).The percentage of DAGL activity remaining in the assayed samples was determined by measuring the integrated optical intensity of the fluorescent protein bands of the Western Blot using image lab 4.1. The relative intensity was compared to the vehicle (DMSO) treated proteins, which were set to 100%. IC50 values were determined by plotting a log(inhibitor) vs. normalized response (Variable slope) dose-response curve generated using Prism software (GraphPad).
