| Description: | Test Example 3: (1) The TRPV4 inhibitory activity was measured using CHO-K1 cells stably expressing human TRPV4 (hTRPV4/CHO cells). (2) Frozen cells were thawed and subcultured with the medium (MEM-α, 10% FBS, 200 mmol/L Glutamine, 50 unit/mL penicillin, 50 μg/mL streptomycin, 1 mg/mL G418). (3) The 96-well plates which hTRPV4/CHO cells were seeded at densities of 2×10^4 cells/well in the culture medium and cultured in a CO2 incubator in the presence of 5% CO2 at 37° C. for 24 h was used as assay plates. (4) The assay plate was washed with assay buffer (Hanks, 1 mol/L HEPES, 250 mmol/L probenecid, pH7.4). (5) Fluo-3, fluorescent dye for Ca influx assay was added to each well, then the assay plate was incubated in a CO2 incubator in the presence of 5% CO2 at 37° C. for one hour (final conc.; 5 μmmol/L Fluo-3). (6) The assay plate was washed with the assay buffer, and the buffer was remained at 30 μL/well. Then the assay plate was incubated for 10 min at 37° C. (7) Diluted compound solution was dispensed to each well in the compound plate, and mixed with built-in Pipette and Mixer of the fluorescence analysis system FDSS 3000 (Hamamatsu Photonics). (8) 50 μL of 4α-PDD solution (concluding 0.1% Pluronic F-127) was applied to each well of assay plate and mixed. (9) The fluorescent intensity was measured by FDSS 3000 for 8 min from the point of time addition the compound solution, at Ex 480 nm, Em 540 nm wavelength. |
