Description: | The induction of NF-κB in a TLR2-specific reporter gene assay was quantified using HEK-BLUE cells as previously described (Wu, W. et al., J. Med. Chem. 2010, 53, 3198-3213). HEK293 cells stably transfected with either human TLR2 or murine TLR2 and alkaline phosphatase (sAP) were obtained from InvivoGen (San Diego, Calif.), and were maintained in HEK-BLUE Selection medium containing zeocin and normocin. Stable expression of secreted alkaline phosphatase (sAP) under control of NF-κB promoters is inducible by TLR2 agonists, and extracellular sAP in the supernatant is proportional to NF-κB induction. HEK-Blue cells were incubated at a density of 105 cells/mL in a volume of 80 μL/well, in 384-well, flat-bottomed, cell culture-treated microtiter plates until confluency was achieved, and then stimulated with serially-diluted aliquots of compounds for 12 h. sAP was assayed spectrophoto-metrically using an alkaline phosphatase-specific chromogen (present in the HEK-detection medium as supplied by the vendor) at 620 nm. For antagonism assays, HEK-Blue cells were incubated at a density of 105 cells/mL in a volume of 80 μL/well and stimulated with either PAM2CS (1 μg/mL) or lipoteichoic acid (1 μg/mL) in the presence of graded concentrations of the test compounds as described for TLR7 previously (Shukla, N. M.; et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2009, 19, 2211-2214; Shukla, N. M. et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. 2011, 19, 3801-3811). |
