Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Omnia Assay Protocol for Potency Assessment Against (method b)
Description:  MDA-MB-453 and Huh7 cells were grown in 96-well poly-D-lysine plates (BD Bioscience, San Jose, Calif.) to 90% confluence. The cells were then incubated in low-serum (0.1% FBS) media for 16-18 hr. and then treated with 5, 1.67, 0.56, 0.185, 0.068, 0.021 or 0.007 μM of test compound in low-serum (0.1% FBS) media for 1 hr. After treatment, the cells were washed with cold PBS (Invitrogen), and were immediately lysed by freeze/thawing 3× in 32 μL of cold Cell Extraction Buffer (Invitrogen), which was supplemented with Complete Protease inhibitors (Roche) and PhosphoSTOP (Roche) phosphatase inhibitors.MSD plates (Meso Scale Discovery) were coated with total FGFR-4 antibodies overnight at 4° C. A lysate (25 μL) was added to the MSD plate overnight at 4° C. The MSD signals were obtained by incubating with a phospho-FGFR antiobody (R&D Systems) and an anti-rabbit sulfo-tag antibody (Meso Scale), for 2 hr at room temperature. The results are indicated as % DMSO control. The data was fitted using a sigmoidal curve analysis program (Graph Pad Prism version 5) with variable Hill slope to determine the EC50 values.Alternatively, a 10× stock solution of FGFR4-WT (F01-11G), (SignalChem, Richmond, BC) corresponding to method b in Table 7, was prepared as described below. A solution of 1.4×ATP (AS001A) and 5× Tyr-Sox conjugated peptide substrate (KNZ3101) were prepared in 1× kinase reaction buffer consisting of 20 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 5 mM β-glycerophosphate, 5% glycerol (10× stock, KB002A) and 0.2 mM DTT (DS001A). 5 μL of FGFR4 was pipetted into a Corning (#3574) 384-well, white, non-binding surface microtiter plate (Corning, N.Y.), containing a 0.5 μL volume of 100% DMSO. The serially diluted compounds were prepared on a Tecan EV0100. A second addition of 10 μl of Tyr-Sox FGFR4 substrate was added to each well and the kinase reactions were started with the addition of 35 μL of 1.4×ATP. The reactions were monitored every 71 seconds for 240 minutes at λex360/λem485 in a Synergy plate reader from BioTek (Winooski, Vt.). At the conclusion of each assay, progress curves from each well were examined for linear reaction kinetics and fit statistics (R2, 95% confidence interval, absolute sum of squares). Initial velocity (0 minutes to 60 minutes) from each reaction was determined from the slope of a plot of relative fluorescence units vs time (seconds) and then plotted against inhibitor concentration to estimate IC50 from log[Inhibitor] vs Response (Variable Slope model in GraphPad Prism from GraphPad Software (San Diego, Calif.)).
