| | Cell-Based Functional Assay of Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Activity |
| Description: | For high throughput measurement of agonist-evoked increases in intracellular calcium, CHO-K1 cells stably expressing muscarinic receptors were plated in growth medium lacking G418 and hygromycin at 15,000 cells/20 μL/well in Greiner 384-well black-walled, tissue culture (TC)-treated, clear-bottom plates (VWR). Cells were incubated overnight at 37° C. and 5% CO2. The next day, cells were washed using an ELX 405 (BioTek) with assay buffer; the final volume was then aspirated to 20 μL, Next, 20 μL of a 2.3 μM stock of Fluo-4/acetoxymethyl ester (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.), prepared as a 2.3 μM stock in DMSO, mixed in a 1:1 ratio with 10% (w/v) Pluronic F-127 and diluted in assay buffer, was added to the wells and the cell plates were incubated for 50 min at 37° C. and 5% CO2. Dye was removed by washing with the ELX 405 and the final volume was aspirated to 2.0 μL. Compound master plates were formatted in a 10 point concentration-response curve (CRC) format (1:3 dilutions) in 100% DMSO with a starting concentration of 10 or 1 mM using a BRAVO liquid handler (Agilent). Test compound CRCs were then transferred to daughter plates (240 nL) using the Echo acoustic plate reformatter (Labcyte, Sunnyvale, Calif.) and then diluted into assay buffer (40 μL) to a 2× stock using a Thermo Fisher Combi (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, Mass.). |
