| | LSD1 CD11b Cellular Assay |
| Description: | To analyze LSD1 inhibitor efficacy in cells, a CD11b flow cytometry assay was performed. LSD1 inhibition induces CD11b expression in THP-1 (AML) cells which is measured by flow cytometry. THP-1 cells were seeded at 100,000 cells/well in 10% Fetal Bovine Serum containing RPMI 1640 media in a 24 well plate with a final volume of 500 μL per well. LSD1 test compounds wdeere serially diluted in DMSO. The dilutions were added to each well accordingly to a final concentration of 0.2% DMSO. The cells were incubated at 37 degrees Celsius in 5% CO2 for 4 days. 250 μL of each well was transferred to a well in a 96 well round bottom plate. The plate was centrifuged at 1200 rpm at 4 degrees Celsius in a Beckman Coulter Alegra 6KR centrifuge for 5 minutes. The media was removed leaving the cells at the bottom of the wells. The cells were washed in 100 μL cold HBSS (Hank's Balanced Salt Solution) plus 2% BSA (Bovine Serum Albumin) solution and centrifuged at 1200 rpm at 4 degrees Celsius for 5 minutes. The wash was removed. The cells were resuspended in 100 μL HBSS plus 2% BSA containing 1:15 dilution of APC conjugated mouse anti-CD11b antibody (BD Pharmingen Cat#555751) and incubated on ice for 25 minutes. The cells were centrifuged and washed two times in 100 μl HBSS plus 2% BSA. After the final spin the cells were resuspended in 100 μL HBSS plus 2% BSA containing 1 ug/mL DAPI (4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole). The cells were then analyzed by flow cytometry in a BD FACSAria machine. Cells were analyzed for CD11b expression. The percent of CD11b expressing cells for each inhibitor concentration was used to determine an IC50 curve for each compound analyzed. |
