| | Vasopressin V2 Receptor Antagonist Assay |
| Description: | The purpose of the assay was to determine the inhibitory effect of synthesized compounds on the Vasopressin receptor 2. The assay was performed in commercially available 1321N1 cells expressing the human Arginine Vasopressin Receptor V2 (AVPR2) (Perkin Elmer #ES-363-CF). Arginine Vasopressin (AVP) evokes an increase in intracellular cAMP in these cells which is measured in a TR-FRET assay using a Europium cAMP tracer and ULight labelled antibody reagents contained in a LANCE Ultra cAMP kit (Perkin Elmer #TRF0263). Increases in cAMP in the assay result in a reduction in TR-FRET as the cAMP produced by the stimulated cells competes with the Eu-cAMP tracer for binding sites on the ULight labelled antibody. Test compounds were assessed for their ability to affect the magnitude of the response to AVP, with antagonists showing a concentration-dependent decrease in the AVP-mediated reduction in TR-FRET signal.cAMPZen V2 assay ready cells were thawed at 37° C. and resuspended directly from frozen in 9 ml growth medium consisting of DMEM supplemented with 10% v/v fetal bovine serum, 1× non-essential amino acids, and 1 mM sodium pyruvate. Cells were spun at 1000 rpm for 3 minutes and the supernatant was carefully removed and discarded. The pellet was resuspended in 5 ml stimulation buffer and the cell density determined using the Vi-Cell automated cell counter. The cell suspension was diluted to a 0.2×106/ml suspension ready for plating. To all wells of a white 384-well Optiplate (Perkin Elmer #6007299) 5 μL of cells in stimulation buffer were dispensed (1,000 cells per well). Stimulation buffer consisted of HBSS (+Ca/+Mg) supplemented with 5 mM HEPES, 0.1% BSA stabiliser and 0.5 mM IBMX. |
